Carly had told you a little bit about Nick's relationship with their parents and it wasn't good.
Despite how close Carly and Nick are, there was a time where Nick resented her because their parents always favored her.
But then, Nick saved Carly's life and he had a moment of clarity.
His issues with their parents had nothing to do with Carly and everything to do with them simply being bad parents.
He deserved to have his sister in his life.
He deserved happiness.
That took a while to sink in but of course you helped nail the point in.
Meeting you was a blessing. You helped Nick put himself together.
You helped him find a job, get into a college, and find a way back to football. Not only did Nick have you and Carly now but he had a whole team and for once...
Life was starting to make sense.
Then his parents made a reappearance.
At first, Nick ignored there calls.
Then they started bothering Carly who just told them that she didn't wanna be involved and it was best that they leave Nick alone.
Of course they didn't listen.
Instead they stalked his social media but go nowhere as Nick really wasn't active on there.
But they did find you.
You and Carly where the only people he followed other than the accounts of his deceased friends.
They messaged you, begging you to convince Nick of reconnecting.
You knew that story though so you ignored them. You even thought as far as to not tell Nick about it.
But one day, he was using your phone after losing his. He went to call his phone when I notification popped up. It was a message on Instagram and the name was his mother's.
He felt anger for a brief moment, thinking you had been conversing with them till he read the messages and saw you've been ignoring them.
"Why didn't you tell me, they were doing this?" Nick asked. You faced him to see what he was talking about.
"I thought you wanted nothing to do with them?" I responded with your own question.
"I don't but I also don't want them harassing my girl/boy either." Nick got frustrated.
He sat at the kitchen table with his head on his hands, trying to take some deep breaths when you started massaging his shoulders.
You continued to talk that night and you both came to the conclusion to just hear them out and if it turned out exactly how he thought it would, then you'd both block them and continue life as normal.
And that's what led you to tonight.
You and Nick sat across from Nick's parents. All that could be heard was the sound of utensils against the plates.
It was awkward.
"So y/n, what do you do for work?" Nick's mom broke the silence.
"Oh well, I am currently in school full time right now." You explained nervously with a smile.
