I wake up to the sound of police sirens, ambulances and knocking on the door at 7 in the morning, the ambulance sounds really close like it's right outside my house. I get up and open the front door while being half asleep, a cop was waiting at the door, "I'm looking for Y/N Y/L/N" I look over his shoulder and my eyes widen as I see the ambulance outside of Nica's house.

I look back at the cop and say "That's me, what happened" I nudge my head in the direction of Nica's house.

"We'll get to that, I just need to ask a few questions, is that alright with you?" I nod

"Wonderful, so what is your relationship with Mrs. Sarah Pierce and when was the last time you saw her?"

"Uh her daughter, Nica, used to babysit me so I kinda just like see her around a lot, she's always really nice to me and she's like my grandma."

He writes something down in his notepad.

"The last time I saw her was around 10 or 11 yesterday"

"Mkay that's all the things we need to know"

"So uh what happened?"

"Mrs. Sarah Pierce was found dead last night" My entire face changes, I start to stutter because I don't know what to say, imagine how Nica must've felt, imagine how she feels right now. So many things are going through my mind right now

"Can I go talk to her- Nica, like right now?"

"Calm down you'll be able to talk to your girlfriend in a bit, her family is-"

Before he gets to finish another cop yells to him from Nica's house.

"Stan!" The other cops gestures that they are done.

"Alright bud you can go"

"Thank you" I quickly say as I run inside to get ready.

I put on my shoes, brush my teeth as fast as I can and get on my bike. I  see a car outside of Nica's house, it's Barb's. I stop my bike as I see Ian, Barb's boyfriend get out of the car.

"Oh, my, god, Y/N?"

"Ian, hey man how's it been"

"Good, good. You got so big, isn't today uh"

"My birthday yeah"

A blonde haired girl gets out the car and opens the door for a girl that looks about 9.

"And who is this?" I say, leaning down to her size. I know that it's Alice but I continue to act confused.

She hugs me and says "Y/N!"

I wave to the blonde girl and remember that I came here to see Nica.

Ian has suitcases in his hands so I say "Are you guys staying here for a while?"

"Yeah, you heard about what happened with... Sarah... right?"

"Yeah" I say softly "Let me help you guys"
Ian hands me a backpack full of clothes and who knows what. I put it on and follow them inside the house.

Barb is inside talking to Nica: "She was supposed to be taking care of you" is all I heard.

Father frank is also there but I thought they didn't go to church anymore. Barb watched me as I ride my bike and go right next to her, yep she still hates me.

"Hi, uh you alright?" I say quickly

Nica nods as Ian walks into the house.

"Hey"

"Hey Ian"

"Gimme a hug"

Father frank sits down on the couch, the good guy doll or I guess Chucky is sitting in the rocking chair.

"Is that a new chair?"

"Uh, yeah."

"It's cool"

"Thank you" Nica says as she sniffles. I could tell she's been crying but I would too if my mom died.

The room is silent for a bit silent so I try to say something but Barb cuts me off before I could let a word out.

"Uh, this... this is Jill, my new au pair." Wow fancy words so smart veryyy classy.

"Bitch" I mumble to myself

Barb gives me a look as Jill says "No, I'm just the nanny" and laughs.

"I'm so sorry, Nica"

"Thank you. I'm uh, I'm glad you're here"

The room gets silent again until Ian steps back, revealing Alice.

"Come here you"

Nica and Alice always had some sort of special connection between them which makes me unsure if I'm jealous of it or just annoyed or maybe even both, it's hard to tell because Nica just makes me so happy to the point where I can barely express any other emotion when I'm around her.

"I'm so happy to see you"

"Me, too. Did grandma go to heaven?" Me and Nica look at Barb, why are you teaching your daughter about heaven and hell? And why would she ask that?

"Yes sweetie, she did. Hey I have a surprise for you." Nica says as she turns to look at the rocking chair.

Chucky is no longer sitting there. But I could've sworn he was literally right there.

"That's funny. he was right there... right?" Nica says to me.

"Yeah... he was... strange"

"Oh mommy I have to go to the bathroom" Alice says to Barb

"Okay. Jill will take you, you show her the way. Mommy needs to talk to Aunty Nica"

What could she possibly have to, oh I'm sorry need to talk to Nica about?

"Jill, let's go."

"Uhm.., I think I'm going to go with them. Okay?" Ian says. He was obviously checking Jill out and I KNOW Barb saw that too.

"Uh, Y/N... honey"

I never thought I'd ever hear the Barbara Pierce ever call me anything other than my name, asshole and pervert.

Barb fake smiles and takes a moment to breathe after saying that.

"Do you mind uh, leaving us alone for a bit?"

"Yes."

"Okay then you can just uh stay there and watch us."

This is exactly why she hates me.

"Like the pervert you are" she mumbles to me.
Yep there's the name calling.

She sits down next to father frank and I get comfortable on my bike, I should've sat in the chair but I'm gonna look dumb if I sit on it now.

Barb hands Nica a paper that says "Dawning Days Assisted Living for the Disabled"
Please tell me Barb is not doing what I think she's doing.

"What is this?"

"Well, uhm... mom left the house to both of us."

I readjust myself to make it look like I'm listening and do a hand motion that says: "get to the point"

"So?"

"So, I think we should consider selling." I didn't think 6 words could affect me so much but man does the thought of Nica moving away scare me.
