Dirty Little Secret

Crying and Guilt

unedited

Nicolas' POV

   I whimper into Jace's chest as the door slams shut, the noise loud to my now sensitive ears.
 
   "It's okay. I got you." His lips brush against my ear as I cry, guilt racking through me as I think about Jason getting in trouble and getting expelled or suspended because I can't defend myself.

   I can't protect Jason like he always protects us.

    "I'm sorry." I whine, begging him silently to not be mad at me for having to age me yet again from someone that is out to get him. I feel fingers push at my chin, forcing my filled away to reach up into dark green ones, mouth thinned out in irritation making me whine.

    "Look at me, Nick." He demands when my eyes wander away from his and I peak up at me as I shake, not liking the anger in them. "Don't apologize for Liam. Don't apologize for being an Omega and never fucking apologize when you need help. Ever. It's my job to take care of you and Clary whenever you need me, got it? You don't need to protect me and enriched does she. We're family and we always stick together, yeah?" He tells me and I sniffle as I look up at him silently.

    "Yeah." I whisper and though it's not confident, he takes it. 

    "But if I ask you again what's going on and you don't tell me, I'm taking all your stuffed animals. And I'm not going running with Benny for a week because I know he went in his while you were in danger." He scolds the two of us.

   Benny whimpers in the back of my mind as he emerges from where he WAS hiding, shaking form fear.

    'I-I'm sorry, Nick. I don't mean to keep leaving you.' He tells me softly and I know he feels bad about it.

    The two of us have gotten into many fights over him leaving me to deal with the worst of things on my own, making me carry all the anxiety and fear of not just myself but fork hun as well, resulting in us not talking for days on end.

     'I know.' I sigh even as more tears well in my eyes.

     "Maybe we should stay home today. Or get some ice cream?" Jason offers and he knows he has my attention as I look into his emerald eyes and sniff pitifully hating how weak I sound but Jason just smiles wickedly. "Come on runt what do you say?"

     "Okay." I concede shyly and he begins to stand up, helping me along the way.

    I go to grab my bag but he stops me, looking down at my neck making me gulp as Benny whines, scared that this is the day that Jason tries to kill us and I huff. 'Jace isn't evil, Benny, stop it.' I tell me but he doesn't want to listen.

   "He bruised your neck." Jason says and I can see his jaw clench as well as his hands that hang by his size and I panic, not wanting him to get into trouble when he's already down something bad.

    "Jace, please don't do anything. You already hurt him and I don't want to watch that. Can we get ice cream please?" I basically beg him, already feeling too guilty over dragging him into my mess and him having to take care of it and me again. He sighs and helps me put on my book bag in announce, but he doesn't make a move to leave and try to beat up that boy.

    "Fine, runt. Only for you." He grunts and I smile to myself at the words.
  
    Once he checks and doubly checks that I'm okay he leads us out of the bathroom and put into an empty hall, walking us towards the parking lot and I can feel myself start to panic at the idea of getting caught even if Jason doesn't show any signs of nerves.

   "You look so suspicious." He muses and I stomp my foot at him making him chuckle. I cross my arms in annoyance which usually makes anyone apologize but he just shrugs. "Guess you can't get sprinkles."

    "That's mean." I tell him with a frown and he nods his head.

     "That's the point." He tells me with a smirk and I roll my eyes at me, though when he speeds up his walk a little bit, I'm quick to rush after him not wanting to be left behind at all.

    "You want too fast." I complain, knowing I can do so with my brother without him trying to baby me and annoy me to death.

    "You have small legs, runt keep up." He teases me walking even faster and I huff at me and slap his back making him slow down a little so I don't have to run after him. We get to the car and he unlocks the car allowing us to jump in. He turns to me with a worried express as he looks at my neck. "You promise you're okay?" He asks me and I blush at the attention not used to it from
him.

     "I'm okay." I whisper and he hums before he starts the car.

     "I've cream here we come."
