A Year Away

Lately, Nicholas Hemmick has been hanging on by a thread. There is a dark cloud hanging over him that won't go away, and he's not sure he wants to keep fighting it. His German teacher seems to think that some time abroad will help him get better, Nicholas, on the other hand, isn't so sure he agrees. But the Klose's seem nice, and Erik is the first person to ever see past Nicholas's smile, so maybe there is a chance things will get better....at least until Nicholas has to go back home.

This an origin story for Nicky Hemmick from All For The Game. It will cover the time he was in Germany including flashbacks from times before. WARNING: there will be mentions of suicide attempts, depression, and abuse and self harm. Please don't read if you are uncomfortable with these topics!
