Death House - A Nathan Sykes story

Chapter 6 - Shattered Glass

The day had finally come. Nathan and I had finally moved out of the house we shared with Tom, Seev, Jay and Max. It was sad, but it had to happen. I hugged them all teary good-byes. But we promised that we would always visit. Evie had no idea what was going on around her. All the lads kissed her good-bye. When Jay kissed her, she grabbed onto his curls and didn't let go for a while. It was a hilarious sight!

"She obviously loves me too much!" Jay said.

We just continued laughing.

Soon it was time for us to leave and I told them their last good-byes. Nathan however, was going to see them all the time due to band work. But since he was off for a year, I think he wouldn't see them so much. Soon we were in the car driving away to our new house. I was a bit gutted, but then I was also happy. This will be the house that Evie grew up in. And that is always a big thing. I still remember the house that I grew up in, back in Sheffield. It brings back a lot of memories. Bad, good and ugly. But it was still my memory to keep.

We arrived at the house after a long ride. Yes the house was quite far away from the city. I would have to wake up really early to go to work everyday, which was a bummer. And I would also be getting back home like really late. But I had no choice! I just had to go with it. Maybe moving to the outskirts wasn't a good idea afterall. I sighed to myself.

"What are you thinking about?" Nathan asked.

"Nothing." I replied.

"Are you alright babe?" He asked.

"Yeah! I'm fine Nath! I was just thinking about how it will take me a million hours to get to work now!"

"Aww! I could drop you and pick you up!" He hugged me from the side.

"No. That's fine! Anyway, we both don't have to work for some time. And now that I'm a field agent, I don't really have to be at the lab all the time you know! So we'll just figure out a way when time comes" I sighed. Nathan knodded kissing me soflty.

It was about 11 in the night. And Evie was still awake. She always slept at the wrong times! But she was  a baby, so I shouldn't expect anything else.

Both Nathan and I decided to get her to sleep. Fortunately, that took only a few minutes. Since both Nathan and I were extremely tired from moving and unpacking stuff, we decided to get to bed as well.

As I was brushing my teeth, and Nathan was changing into his bed clothes, there was a knock on the door.

"Babe? Could you get that please?" Nathan shouted from the bedroom.

I sighed to myself and quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face and ran downstairs to see who it was. As the I flung the door up, I saw a girl, she looked young.

"Hey!" I said, panting.

"Oh hello! I'm Emily, your neighbor!" She smiled.

"Oh it's nice to meet you! I'm Elyssa! I moved her with my boyfriend and baby!" I smiled back.

"Elyssa?" She whispered as her smile dropped.

"Pardon?" I asked confused.

"Oh! Sorry! Never mind me! I hope I didn't scare you off." She said awkwardly.

"Uhm No!" I said. She was weird.

Quickly Nathan came running down the stairs in his onesie.

"Hello!" He said in his Gloucester accent.

"Nathan Sykes?" She said, as her smile widened.

"Uh Yeah!" He smiled back with his hand in his hair.
