Nicholette

Tuesday

It looked almost exactly how I remembered.

White, two-story house with faded blue shutters that were for decoration only. The front porch was clean of messes, holding just a few chairs and a table out front where my parents would sit and talk while I tried to stay out of Dad’s way. The yard that was usually so well maintained was overgrown, and I could almost hear my parents yelling about it with disapproval while I cataloged every weed that had taken over the place. Good.

I clenched and unclenched my fists, fighting the urge to burn the place to the ground. The only good memories I had here were with Thomas, and even those didn’t outweigh all the horrible things that had happened in this house—because that was what it was, a house. This structure was no home.

“Nic?” Vas’ deep voice instantly tore me from my depressing thoughts. “Ready?”

“No.” I tried to laugh, but it broke, betraying my nerves. “But let’s get it over with.”

Opening the door, I climbed out and joined the others who were standing around, staring at the house, while Ryan got out of his cop car and gave us all a hard look.

“No destroying anything, Nicholette. Everything here is still evidence until we know who killed your mom and what happened to your dad and brother.” He glared at me until I agreed.

“Fine,” I answered blandly, feeling numb. I could barely tear my eyes away from the house. Wrenn shot me a concerned look, but I shook my head, not willing to lean on anyone right now. I couldn’t have a breakdown here at this house; they, and it, had gotten enough of my tears. “Lead the way.”

Ryan studied me and sighed before spinning on his heel and hurrying up the steps to the front door. I didn’t look at anyone, worried it would keep me from moving forward, strode across the porch, and walked inside. It was mostly the same. The faded blue sofa was still in the living room, the TV set up in front of it, but now there was a Xbox sitting there as well. I could see the kitchen from here, and everything was clearly in its place, no mess made.

Except for the pool of blood staining the carpet by the front door.

“How did she die?” I asked Ryan as the others filed in behind me.

“Shot in the chest at close range.” He paused for a second as if waiting for me to react, but I was so fucking numb I had nothing to give him. Roughly clearing his throat, he continued. “Then in the face when she was on the ground.”

I nodded a few times as I silently and carefully walked through the living room to the stairs. The photos on the wall were mostly generic landscapes with a few family pictures mixed in—just my parents and Thomas. There was no evidence that I had ever lived here.

How cliché. The parents that weren’t my parents had erased all signs of their false, unfavored child.
