Nolan's pov
I can confidently say that my patrol today was...horrible. I oney made around 60 thousand dreams.
The whole time my mind kept on slipping on that conversation I overheard yesterday.
I'm also worried about Ivy. She was really mad yesterday. Maybe I should give her doughnuts.
She absolutely loves doughnuts.
I came home around 6pm. I could've came home earlier, but I just wanted to walk and think things through.
For breakfast I decided to make toast and eggs for everyone in the house. Yes I am exosted, but I'll manage. This is not the first time I only had 1 to 2 hours a sleep.
I just finished breakfast and started to go to my room when I slipped on a wet floor.
"Wow this really is NOT my day."
I got up and went to my room with my ass hurting as hell. I want to go see Ivy. It's Sunday anyways. Hopefully she is not mad anymore.
I know Ellie will not be awake for next hour or so, so I tried to be as quite and quick as possible.
The moment I got out of the house I felt chills run down my back. I had feeling that someone was watching me, but when I turned around there was nothing.
'That's probably because of the horror movie we watched yesterday...' I thought to myself and just shruged it of.
I went to the big, cream colored house across from mine. In other words I went to Ivy's house.
I knocked, as always, and waited for her reply.
I heard her usual yelling and relaxed. At least she is not ignoring my knocking right?
Few seconds after she bursts through the door. Still yelling...
"Nolan! Nolan! Nolan! Help me. Those two little monsters are being... Well they are being THEMSELVES BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" oh I see. It's Sunday right? That means it's a sibling pranking day.
And I'm in a middle of it...again. Well fuck, time to get soaked.
" It's a sibling day right?" I said smiling like a maniac.
" Obviously do you not see the state I'm in!" she said annoyed while rolling her eyes.
Only in that moment did I realise that her clothes were covered in eggs, flour and something green. I really don't want to know what's that?
I looked behind her shoulder and saw Zack and Mat hidding behind a wall and smiling.
I smirked.
"Zack, Mat! You really deserve a medal for this one. Congrats." They only laughed and run away before Ivy noticed them.
Laughing I turned to Ivy who started dragging me to kitchen. Probably to get ice cream.
Suddenly Ivy turned around and scoffed while giving me a whole box of ice cream.
" Don't let this get to your head asshole. I'm still mad at you." I smiled. She couldn't be mad at me for more then a day and we both knew that.
"I wouldn't do such a thing dear... You still need few minutes to stop being mad. Wanna watch Disney?"
I started walking to the living room to find a computer so we can watch Disney. Of course Ivy was coursing me while walking behind me.
Not a suppressing really.
After about 20 minutes of her cursing me and getting changed and me just eating ice cream we started watching Mulan.
In the middle of movie I started to get cold. Which wouldn't be anything surprising if it wasn't for that same feeling of something or someone watching me.
I started shivering against my will and Ivy noticed.
"Are you cold Nolan?" I nodded and smiled at her.
She went into her room to get me an extra blanket.
When I saw that she was gone I started looking around, trying to find whoever was giving me those shivers, but there was nothing. Again.
"Are you okay Nolan?" my head snapped in Ivys' direction and I relaxed.
"Yeah don't worry just kinda fricked out because of the horror movie from last night." I laughed.
I think she could tell I'm not telling the truth, but decided to just shrug it off.
We laughed the whole day while watching all kinds Disney shows, but I felt a little paranoid the whole time. I mean who would not?
It was already 3.30pm when I decided to finally go home.
I should probably go do something with Ellie, grandma and grandpa. I didn't spend a lot of time with them last few days.
I heard that l a new restaurant opened last week just on the end of the street.
They say that the owner is a manananggal*. I saw her once or twice. She seems cool. And I can pay with Rahas* I earned from my shifts because she is a creature.
I need to ask Ellie and our grandparents first.
The only problem was that Ellie was nowhere to be found when I came home.
I went to check gradpas' and grandmas' room to see if maybe she is with them, but she was not.
Maybe our grandparents know? It wouldn't hurt if I ask them.
I went entered their room.
The room is very simple. There is one king size bed in the middle of room on each side of it is a drawer with a lamp. Walls are in a soft, old blue color and on them are pictures of Ellie and them. I mean there are few pictures of me, but Ellie putted them.
That's not because they don't live me it's just that they were to old and to sick to do it when I came here, so Ellie took it on herself that she needs to put my pictures there as well.
I walked slowly to their bad and started cooing to them so I don't startle them.
I know we should put them in a nursing home, but I just don't have money for that right now.
"Hey grams how are you?" I ask softy.
"Oh is that you my girl. You grown do fast Elleanor! How's your step sister is Nyx okay? She is also quite a beauty right?" Okay ouch... I forgot that they have a really short memory... But still dead naming me always hurts, but I don't blame them.
"No gramps it's me Nolan... Remember me? I wanted to ask if you know where Elleanor is. Do you?"
"Ohh was she her? I don't remember my boy... Where is Nyx? I didn't see her in ages." tears start to fall down my cheek.
This are people all that I have left even if we are not blood related. They are still my family and its just hard to watch them like this.
I tried to speak but my voice cracked.
Aghh get yourself together Nolan!
I tried again still with tears in my eyes.
"She is on a trip gramps. Don't worried about her she is fine. She misses you and grandma very much."
"Oh tell her I miss her too. She is a strong women don't you think? Nolan you should go to sleep right? What time is it?" He said a little bit confused.
"It's 4pm, but don't worried about me. I need to go know gramps. I will get you and grandma dinner for 2 hours or so okay?" I said quietly afraid of my voice cracking again.
"You are such a good boy Nolan. Rest sometimes okay?" he smiled at me with brightness in his eyes.
"Of course gramps." when I exited their bedroom I just couldn't hold it in anymore I broke down with tears leaning against their door.
I was crying for maybe 10 minutes before I hears Ellies' voice.
"Nolan? What wrong? Are you okay? What happ-" the look of realisation passed her eyes.
"They forgot you again didn't they?" she said in pitiful voice. I didn't want pity, but all I did was nod.
She sat down and hugged me. Mumbling sweet words in my ears.
She is really smart and caring for a 14 year old.
I admire that about her.
When I finally calmed down I remembered that I was looking for her. Well I found her. Okay she found me, but still.
"Where were you? When I came home you were not here. I was looking for you."
"Oh I thought you were not gonna come home till the evening so I went out with... A friend." she said with a massive blush on her cheeks.
I smirked.
"A friend? " I rouse my eyebrows.
"OK a crush, but don't you dare mock me or I will kill you. Painfully." okay she is scary. Like you do not have a idea.
I decided to change a topic momentarily.
"Also I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go on a dinner with me? Grandma and grandpa can't, but we can right? "
She gave me a smile that could melt any ice. She is just so adorable.
"Of course let me just get ready!" she said cheerfully.
She ran of and I went to a shower.
This evening is going to be fantastic.
