Chapter 26.

Nicholas’s POV

The rain hit hard against the roof. I thought the windows might break from the sheer force of water coming down from the sky.

The beats of rain matched perfectly with my heart. My head was pounding like my brain was trying to escape.

I looked around everywhere. The marble in the living room is still a poor choice. The walls were plain in color but covered in family photos.

My mom and dad were both dressed up for the anniversary they were going to get back late. I was supposed to be in bed by now, I had school tomorrow.

Instead of being yelled at for staying up I was stuck in hiding in the corner of the room while my parents were kneeling in the middle of the floor.

Four masked men stood over them pointing guns at them. My mother was silently crying while my dad kneeled stoically staring back at them. They hadn’t seen me or didnt bother looking, either way I couldn’t look away.
