#Chapter289
Things change and so do people
Mack
It’s been a year since the day of the funeral of Michael. Nik grieved every day that summer and throughout junior year. Scarlett’s brother Leo was an enormous help that summer until he went back to school. It left Nik lost through junior year. He got into more fights, which didn’t make Mom and Dad happy. Austin and I, along with our cousins RJ, Liam, and JJ, tried to back him up as much as possible. It was getting so bad that he almost got expelled from school twice.
It finally came down to Dad, sending Nik to stay with Aunt Kate and help at the bakery. Dad figured if he gave Nik space, and Aunt Kate kept Nik busy, it would keep him out of trouble. I had a feeling Nik went for other reasons.
I should back up and explain what happened the summer before our senior year from what Nik sent me after he left.
