Chapter Nine

Friday morning, Nicole went straight to the hospital to be with Nick until he was released. She’d cleared it with Ron to miss her first and second hour classes and third hour was her planning period. Dr. Martin had assured her she would release Nick in time for Nicole to make it to her fourth hour class which didn’t start until eleven-thirty.

She was so happy to be able to bring Nick into her home. It would be great. They had spent very little time together for years. Granted, he only planned to stay with her until he could find a house of his own, but he would still be close by wherever he moved in Crowleyville.

She opened the door to Nick’s hospital room and found him sitting in a chair on the near side of the bed already dressed to leave. She smiled. He wasn’t eager to get out of there was he?

“Hey. Anybody want to leave this place this morning.”

He’d been facing away from her and jumped up to face her and leaned over to give her a hug.

“Be careful of your wound Nick.”

He waved her off. “It’s okay. They put the bandage on real tight this morning so I wouldn’t accidentally pull it open.”

Nicole thought they needed to do some planning for the future. Last night, even though she’d stayed with him late, all they’d talked about was all the things that had happened to them since they’d parted at eighteen.

“Nick. I want you to know you can stay with Snowball and me for as long as you want. Don’t rush off because you think you’ll be inconveniencing me. You won’t be. If anything, you’ll really make things nice for me.”

He smiled at her in the way that only a close twin could smile at his twin sister. “I know that Laine and right now with somebody threatening you, I want to stay there until that’s over. But I’ll want to get my life together as soon as I can after that.”

“Are you still thinking about opening up your own small securities firm?”

“For sure. More than ever now. Say what you want about Dad, but he really does know the business, and I learned everything I need to know from him.”

“Have you heard from either one of them?”

He shook his head. “Didn’t expect to. I wouldn’t be surprised if my office isn’t already cleared out and maybe even someone else already in there.”

“I’m so sorry Nick. I still can’t help thinking this is all my fault.”

Nick leaned over and grabbed her by both shoulders. “No way Laine. It’s all his fault for the way he’s always treated you. I’ve just finally gotten enough of it and I’m doing something about it.”

She could feel the tears forming in her eyes again. It seemed that she’d cried quite a lot the last few days.

Nick touched her chin with his fingertips. “Don’t Laine. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that he’s not worth it. He wants to disown me. Well, I’m hereby disowning him.
