A year without Nick.

After what happened, they never saw each other again.

Her mom didn't give two shits about the whole situation.

When Nora was in the hospital for her leg, she didn't even bother to take her home.

And when she finally came home, her dad was there.

He's back.

He still hits her most nights. If Nora is to say one thing wrong he comes at her.

He did this when she was a kid.

He went to jail for hitting her and her mom. She didn't even bother to file for custody.

When her dad got out last year, her mom let him back in.

It's like she forgot about everything that happened.

And sure, he was all nice at first. But that didn't last.

Soon enough, the fighting began.

Nora tries to stay out of it.

And all this gets dropped on her as soon as she comes home.

She's been having nightmares.

She'd dream about Tommy catching up to her, and killing her.

They never caught him. They just said he committed after his killing spree.

But that's not true.

The truth is, they don't know where he is.

Nora would wake up screaming.

Did anyone check on her? No.

Did her mom care? No.

Did her dad care? Definitely not.

The first time it happened, she had cried herself back to sleep. Alone.

Nora remembers watching the news a few days after the massacre.

"𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘳 '𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳' 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺."

Bullshit.

Tommy was sweet. He would never hurt anyone.

And Ziggy hasn't been doing so good. After she got out of the hospital, Nora's only talked to her once.

Even then, Ziggy didn't open up.
