Nick's POV
"Kay, it's just that you told me about your life plans and I saw how good it is. I don't deserve to be in your life because I'm too bad for you and am sure you have been warned about me. So let's end this for the best!". I recited for the fifth time.
"That's a good one but you need to put in more passion and wear your facial expression". Nicole spoke as she opened the liquor bottle.
"So I have to do it again?". I asked.
"Yeah. You know the facial expression part is quite necessary alongside with the passion. So that she'll know you are not just joking". Nicole stands opposite me with the liquor bottle still in her hands blocking my view from the mirror I used to practice.
"Yeah, I know".
"So I'll be Kaylan, while you do your break up speech. Action!".
"Kay, it's just that you told me about your life plans and I saw how good it is. I don't deserve to be in your life because I'm too bad for you and am sure you have been warned about me. So let's end this for the best!". I was more realistic and passionate this time.
"Damn". Nicole shouts and burst into laughter.
"Don't tell me I fucked up again!". I didn't really want to do this.
"Nah. Not at all. Your facial expression killed it mehn". Nicole grinned.
"For real?". I asked.
"Yup and Kaylan would be like ' oh Nick, don't leave me, please, I love you! ' ". Nicole fakes a cry and then starts laughing aloud.
"It's not funny, Nicole!". I was getting annoyed. She was mocking Kaylan.
"I wasn't making a joke, I was just being realistic and besides I can't remember when last I cried over a guy. Oh I remember, I never did". Nicole snarked.
"Well, good for you". I remarked.
She never cried over a guy! While I cried over her when she left!
How foolish was I?
"You gotta perform again for Liz to see and score you". Nicole walked pass me to the mini bar.
"I've seen it already". Liz said from behind.
"For how long have you been watching?". I asked her because neither me nor Nicole noticed her presence.
"For quite some time". Liz voice was low.
"So how was he's performance?". Nicole asked her.
"It was very impressive, Nick. But I don't see why you should stress yourself for the long lines, when you can quickly end it with her with just few words and move on". Liz tone had a bit of venom.
I give her a look pretending not to understand her.
"Oh, don't give me that look, you know what I mean". Liz says. " ' Kay it's over!', then you walk away. That would save stress, right?". Liz emphasized.
"It's easier said than done". I said. I can't break Kaylan's heart that way not when what I feel for her is real.
"Not for badboys, Nick and I guess you are forgetting who you are!". Liz raised her voice a bit.
"You can even dump her through a text message. There's no big deal there". Nicole was getting bitchy and it was annoying.
"See I'm doing this my way". I was getting provoked.
None of them cared how Kaylan was going to feel emotionally, if I made the lines short. That was literally dumping her.
Liz had something big against the Evans sisters.
"Look, Nick, you aren't doing this for me or Nicole. You are doing this for the Sanders cult and your brother!". Liz spoke a fact.
"I know".
For my brother mostly that was why I was breaking up with Kaylan.
Nothing else!
"So when is the break up commencing?". Nicole asked with an evil smile.
"Today!". I answered her.
"Wow! In where?". Nicole's tone held joy.
"In this house". I answer her again.
"I gotta watch this". Nicole's voice was loud.
"Sorry but no one would be home only me and her". I spilled.
"What do you mean by that?". Nicole was a little bit confused.
"He means that he needs less distraction, so he doesn't want us to cause him one". Liz answered.
"And also because I'm doing it my way, so you guys absence at the moment would mean alot to me". I grinned.
"That's not fair!". Nicole hissed.
"I'm texting Kaylan, right away. To come over and tutor me for maths and then I'll... Just... You know!". I couldn't say the words, my heart was already breaking.
Liz walks out the door and Nicole follows her but stops and whispers into my ear.
"I knew this day would come but you just wouldn't believe me".
She grins evilly and walks out the door.

Kaylan's POV
Saturday afternoon gave me sometime to relax and breathe.
Cassie's return had spread like wild fire throughout the neighborhood for just hours and we had visitors trooping in and out of the house since morning.
I don't just know why they couldn't wait in their house, since tomorrow Sunday was our Thanksgiving ceremony.
I just finished eating the French fries Cassie prepared. Cassie has eventually turned to the family's cook once again and she was taking various responsibilities of the house effectively and I knew she was trying to impress my parents and it was clearly working.
My parents were very impressive with her and I have been invisible for the past hours since she returned.
The thing was I didn't know what Cassie's aim was.
Just then I got a text from Nick.
"Kay baby, can you pls come over? I've got to admit I need a math tutor!" - Nicholas.
I quickly replied.
"On my way. Now I'll be the teacher and you the student 😂". - Kaylan.
Sent!
I got dressed and thank God I can still vividly remember the way to the Sanders house.
I didn't have to lie to my parents where I was going, there weren't paying attention to me, they just granted me permission blindly.
Cassie was the talk of the Town. The neighbors were still trooping in and out and my parents and even Cassie couldn't help but careless about me. I appreciated that.
I was out of the house and thanks to the back door. I had gotten into my car and I started driving down to Nick's house.
Red light, Red light, Stop!. The traffic warned.
As I waited patiently, my thoughts raced back to Mr Greene's case. I had done some research on his case and it was stated that he was missing last week Friday night were he left home and never came back until he's almost lifeless body was found early Wednesday morning.
I had no idea what I was going to use the research for, I am not a journalist neither am I a detective. I'm just a student aspiring to be a lawyer and still the police don't have a major lead.
Green light, Go!
I started my car again and drive off.
***
I arrived at Nick's house already and I was on the porch, ringing the doorbell. The door was opened within seconds by Nick.
"Hey sweetheart". He greeted.
"I made it". I smile as he ushers me in.
The Sanders home had a delicate smell, I greatly admired. I sat on the couch and Nick sat beside me. We needed to be quick about this because I can't stay out late anymore because I don't want my parents to worry.
"So did you bring your math textbook?". Nick asked.
"Wait... Am I the one getting a math tutor or you are?". I answered his question with a question.
"I don't have a math textbook, that's it". He answers.
"Why are you like this?". I asked him rolling my eyes.
"That's my lifestyle, babe". He smirks.
"You're lucky I brought mine". I reach out for my bag, opening it, when Nick's hand holds mine.
"What if I say, I didn't text you for a math tutor". He says.
"So what then?".
"Let's say a sex tutor". He says seductively coming close to me.
"No way". I was supposed to be drooling but I wasn't.
I didn't want sex probably not today, I remembered my fantasy gone wrong about Nick. Were his eyes changed and when he pushed me off him.
What if this was it? What if when we start making out, he's mood change?
I'm not ready for that!
"You are clearly over thinking, Kay". My subconscious spilled.
"Why no way?". Nick's question broke my thoughts.
"Nothing". That was quite a lie.
My guts told me, Nick didn't text me for a math tutor or a sex tutor but for something else. I couldn't figure it out.
His gray eyes weren't bright anymore, it was now in a darker shade as if he wanted to cry.
But why?
I was going to ask him that, but just then I felt a pang in my stomach.
"Ouch".
"Kay, it's everything OK?". Nick asked.
"I wanna throw up, where's the toilet?". I managed to talk.
"It's down the corridor. Hurry up!".
I lifted myself up from the couch as I walked swiftly down the corridor, to the toilet. Banging the toilet door shut, I put my head down the toilet seat as I vomited all I ate in the morning.
Cassie was now the family cook and she was very bad in frying. My stomach was empty now, I stood up and flushed the toilet. I went over to the sink and rinsed my mouth with the rushing water. I looked at myself in the mirror as I arranged my hair.
I came out of the toilet and I was going to head back to the living room where Nick was but my eyes caught sight of a dim light still down the corridor. I had an urge to check it out.
Oh silly me!
I found myself walking towards the light and once I had gotten to the place the door was not completely closed, so I pushed it a little, I saw a staircase that was were the light came from. I climbed down and I had gotten to a bigger room then I realized I was at the basement of the house.
I found the light switch and turned it on. It lit the whole room so bright. The basement was neatly arranged. To what I have noticed the Sanders were organized people. But I couldn't help but get suspicious about them due to what Cassie told me. I just didn't know if I should trust them fully or Cassie had made it all up to scare me off.
I was about to leave the basement and go back to Nick when my eyes caught sight of something again under the table.
As I said I couldn't help but get suspicious about them. I bent down and reached for it. It was a leather wrist watch. I looked closely at it. I t had a big ' G ' at the center, where the clock hands rotates.
It was certainly a family's heirloom but the thing was it didn't belongs to the Sanders.
I looked closely at it again. I certainly couldn't mistake the watch for any random wrist watch.
My heart started pounding heavily as I rethinked everything again.
No way!
I was sure of it...
It belongs to Mr. Greene.
