Sighs to Fill the Hour

       " When something doesn't feel right leave, think, then forget. But if you stay and let it take it's course it will be sure to wreck you. If so you must leave, think, heal, but never forget. For it will teach you a whole lot more than anyone ever could."

These words were spoken long ago to Nico, yet he still saw and heard them in his dreams, as did he with the person who spoke them. Bianca, ah she was an angel. By far his most beloved sister, she always had to right advice to give, the kindest smiles to offer, and a feeling Nico so longed to get back. But alas she had gone and left him with his other sister, not that she wasn't great, Nico still adored her, she just wasn't her. 

****((())))((()))****

With a gasp, and a bolt, Nico was awake staring straight ahead at the empty wall in front of him. He could vaguely hear his sister Hazel from the room below yelling, and unnecessarily banging a stick on her ceiling, to get him to wake up. He groaned and tried to get going, even though he would have done anything to get out of that dream he still didn't take too kindly from the way he was woken up. He stomped on the floor to tell her to back off, then went to his bathroom.

As soon as he opened the door he could see the already put together outfit on the place next to the sink. He quickly forgot about it as he closed the door and hopped into the shower. When he finished he got a closer look at the outfit. It consisted of a pretty plain black jumpsuit, with a white poofy sleeved short sleeved shirt to go underneath, a little bear hair clip, and small black boots with a bit of a platform. Nico smiled, this was his kind of outfit, and it was obvious his mom had given in and let his sister pick it out last night. It was his first day of school after all, and he was determined to make some changes.

After finished getting ready he hopped down the stairs and was greeted with the sight of his sisters sitting on the counter eating, and his dad sitting in his chair sleeping and facing the news. The only thing unusual about the sight was his mother not standing around eyeing everything everyone did.

"Mom had to leave early for work," His sister Hazel offered him, with her usual it's all gonna be okay smile, "but i'm sure your somewhat relieved to be skipping her lecture."

"Heh, yeah," He said as he bounced to the fridge, took a look at what it contained, and then remembered his mother. No, he wouldn't, he couldn't make her angry again, "then how are we getting to school seeing as dad is, well, as usual unavailable?"

"I can drive us." she said, "It's not that far away and i'll be getting my real license really soon."

Nico nodded, he wasn't worried about that, Hazel was a perfectionist, just like his mother, and mastered most things she came in contact with almost always immediately. He was just feeling sort of restless, wanting the day to begin, and to be over at the same time.

"Grab your stuff and i'll meet you in the car!" Hazel called from the doorway

Nico half winced half grinned as his sister went out to wait for him in the car, and he saw how late it really was. Dang he forgot how long it took for him to get ready in the morning! But apparently his mother didn't, or just doubted him to be organised enough to make it out on time, because there was a packed school bag waiting on the counter with a note from his mother. He snatched it up, making a note to read the slip of paper later, then bounded out the door and to the car. Hoping that the rushed and hectic day would chill down sooner than later, he opened the door and slid down the back seat as his sister drove down the driveway and onto the street.
