Secrets (Book 2 of "Rock Bottom") // A Tony Lopez Story\\

Chapter 28

It's been a couple days, how many, I don't know. I've been losing track of time with how shitty I felt. I was rolled up into a ball in my bed, in my feelings, honestly wanting to die, and Nick was cuddling me. We've been sitting like this for hours, and neither of us have bothered to say anything. There would be times where I would start balling and he would hold me tighter as he kissed my shoulders, and it would calm me down.

Y/N: Nick...?

Nick: Yes?

Y/N: Did you... know...?

Nick: No, I didn't. I spent the whole time with you here the past couple months helping with the twins. I would text people from the house here and there, especially Ryland and Michael, and none of them mentioned it to me. So no, I didn't know.

Y/N: If you knew, would you tell me?

Nick: Of course. I wouldn't let you go all this time thinking he still loved you when he was cheating on behind your back. I wouldn't let you deal with the pain like that.

I turned onto my side and looked into his eyes. He kissed my forehead and then I buried my head into his chest as he held me tightly

Y/N: Thank you. You, my brothers, and my mom are all I need

Nick: I'll always be here

A few minutes went by, and I realized I really missed my babies

Y/N: Can you please do me a favor and pick up the twins for me? I would go but...

Nick: No, don't explain yourself. I know. Of course I'll go get them

Y/N: Thank you so much. I own you one

Nick: Don't even worry about it bubs. I'll be right back with them. Are you hungry...? You haven't eaten in a couple days

Y/N: Ummm... yeah, some food would be nice

Nick: Ok, I'll be quick

He kissed my cheek, got up, slipped his shoes on, and went to slip out the door

Y/N: Wait, take your glasses

I grabbed them off the nightstand and he jogged back to me and put them on

Nick: Thank you. I love you.

Y/N: I love you more. Be safe

Nick: Always

He left closing the door and I flipped onto my other side and looked out my windows, gazing off into the city

Nicks POV

I hopped into my car, and sped down to the hype house, and eventually got there. I buzzed myself in and parked at the stairs and went inside. I want to get in and out. I'm not going to deal with anyone's bullshit.

Everyone was in the living room and they saw me

Nick: Where's the twins?

Thomas: They're in here

I walked into the living room to see them rocking in their self-rockers. I grabbed their car seats from the end of the couch and went up to their rockers and began to put them into their car seats.

Tony: What are you doing?

Nick: What does it look like I'm doing? I'm getting them out of this house.

Tony: Uh, no you're not

I looked at the twins outfits, and it doesn't look like they've been changed at all
