Jerome's POV:

Man did me and Nic get Mitch good this time. So let me explain, Nic being the technical genious she is hooked up a system to release a bucket of clear glue on top of Mitch. So of course we set up a tarp on the floor. Nic calculated how far the glue would splatter so we could buy the right sized tarp. I was worried that the plan wouldn't work but Nic was determined to make it work. But seriously if she was my sister I would have all the gadgets I would want!!!

Mitch's POV:

Why doods, why the clear glue. I didn't realize that I was standing on a tarp at first but surely enough when the glue splattered on the floor I heard it hit a tarp.

All I hear as I am wiping myself off is Jerome and Nic laughing their heads off.

"Not funny!" I scold.

"Man Biggums it was just a prank!" Jerome laughs.

"How did you know I was going to stand where I stood?" I ask. Although I have a good guess who did it.

Jerome laughs at points at, none other than. Nic.

"Geese how do you figure this stuff out?!?" I laugh.

"Dude I asked her how this would work and in 2 seconds flat she told me EXACTLY how it would work, where the glue would splatter , where you would stand and how big the tarp should be!! She's a genius!!" Jerome walks over and hugs her for a second the lets go.

Nic's POV:

The way Jerome told Mitch everything I planned out in my head made me feel like an idiot(even though she's smart).

Suddenly my phone starts buzzing in my hand, it's me and Mitch's mom.

"Uh Mitch my room, NOW!" I say sprinting into my room.

"Ya sis what is it?" Mitch asks worriedly.

"It's mom," I say sternly.

-Flashback 1 year before Mitch and Nic moved out- (warning screaming and violence, under 10 skip the rest of this chapter. Seriously donz readz if under 10. And a almost death scene! You've been warned!!!!!)

"MITCH GET YOUR BUTT IN THE LIVING ROOM NOW!!!" Their mom screamed.

"I'm coming!" Mitch yelled back.

Mitch runs down the stairs to his mom.

"What do you want?" He asks crossing his arms.

"Last night I went on your laptop and saw you were looking for an apartment house(idk what they are called)?!" Their mom says sternly.

"Ya so I'm 18, I am old enough to move out," Mitch says through gritted teeth.

"That's not my point, I looked on Nic's laptop and saw that she was looking at the same thing you were!" She said fuming.

Now Mitch knew he would tell his mom exactly what he and Nic were planning.

Mitch just spat it out, "Me, Nic and Jerome are going to live together."

"No your not!" Their mom said as she grabbed Mitch and threw him onto the couch.

"Too late mom we already bought the place!" Nic says running down the stairs to see if Mitch is alright.

"Well Mitch can leave, cause I don't care but you missy cannot!!" Their mom yelled.

"Mom I'm 18 I am an adult I can live with Mitch and Jerome if I want to!" Nic screams.

Nic whispers into Mitch's ear"Are you ok and Jerome's here to pick us up."

"What is that!!??" Their mom asks waiting for an answer.

"Nothing," Nic says slumping on the couch.

"Says my daughter who was the smartest person in her school, with only 6 friends!!" Their mom laughs.

Mitch looked over at Nic. The amount of friends she has is always a touchy subject with her.

Mitch stood up and looked his mom straight in the eyes, "Look mom, or should I even call you that anymore. You know how Nic feels about herself so STOP!!!!!"

"You've got some nerve young man, standing up to your mother like this!" She yells.

"I don't care anymore!!" Mitch throws his arms up in disgust.

"Fine if you don't care, the. You won't mind if I do this," she walks over to Nic and throws her onto the ground and grabs a knife and runs the knife long her side and breaks her left arm and right leg.

Mitch runs over to Nic, tears running down his eyes, "You should have fought back!"

Mitch takes off his shirt and uses it to wipe up the blood.

"Mitch this is my destiny!" Nic replies faintly.

"What do you mean destiny?!" Mitch asks still crying.

"Mitch.." Nic replies gasping for air.

Mitch grabs the nearest phone and dials 911. He hangs up the phone.

"It's ok Nic the ambulance is coming to pick you up." Mitch still crying picks up Nic and brings her outside.

"MITCH!! WHAT HAPPENED!!" Jerome screamed when he saw Mitch emerges with Nic in his arms.

"I'll explain later, you got any blankets to help wipe up some blood?" Mitch asks.

"Ya I have towels!" Jerome replies quickly grabbing them.

Just then the ambulance and the police come. The police take their mom away. Mitch sees his mom mouth something, 'I'll get you someday!"

"Sir we need you to let her go," the police say.

Mitch tears streaming down his face gives Nic to the police.

"You can ride in the ambulance with her, have your friend drive behind us." He gestures toward Jerome.

Mitch nods and gets in the ambulance.

-at the hospital-

"Nic just please hear me!" Mitch pleads.

He feels a hand on his back, he turns around to see Jerome standing there behind him.

"J-Jerome I don't know what to do!" Mitch sobs.

"Sh-she said something about it being 'her destiny'?" Mitch wiped away tears.

"I'll leave you two alone for awhile," Jerome says walking out of the room.

Mitch holds Nic's limp, pale hand, "I promise I will do Anything for you!"

"I know Mitch," Nic gasps.

Mitch starts to sob, when the doctor comes in. Mitch stands up and wipes his eyes.

"Mr.Hughes," the doctors voice is stern.

"Your mother has been put into jail for 1 year," the doctor said. Mitch sighed.

"However your sister is left with a giant scar running down her side. She also has a broken left arm and broken left leg." The doctor says.

"M-Mitch," a faint voice was heard.

Mitch and the doctor run towards the bed.

"Doctor I know what you are going to say next," Nic coughs then gasps for air.

"I don't want to get my scar filled in," the doctor stares at her in shock.

"I want to be reminded of the day that my brother saved me from the light," she rasps.

"You sure sweetie?" The doctor(a woman with blond hair) asks.

"Y-yes Mitch knows how much I cherish my scars." She try's to laugh.

"Doctor she will be ok, right?" Mitch asks sternly.

"Yes but she lost a lot of blood." The doctor replies showing Mitch the papers.

Jerome walks in and sits in the chair next to the hospital bed.

Jerome whispers to Nic,"How come you didn't tell Mitch what you saw the other night?"

Mitch and the doctor listen intently.

"I knew he would worry so I didn't tell him," she whispered back.

"Miss please tell us what you saw," the doctor asks firmly.

"If I tell you I want Mitch to leave the room," Mitch stared at her.

"I'll take him into the waiting room, c'mon buddy," Jerome volunteered.

After they left Nic told the doctor everything.

"Why didn't you tell your brother?" The doctor wondered.

"I didn't have the courage to that's why!" She gasped.

"We'll have you out of here in no time! Ok sweetie?" The doctor replied cheerfully.

"Okay and tell Mitch that he can go home, I don't need him now!" Nic replied confidently.

"Will do!" The doctor replied closing the door to her room.
