  &quot;I am not going to live with you!&quot; I half yell. He turns and cocks an eyebrow.
      I roll my eyes.
      &quot;I am not enthusiastic about it either.&quot; He continues to walk.
      &quot;I don't care what you have to say Quinn, I am not living with you. I agreed to come with you cause i didn't want to be around Oliver and his girlfriend.&quot;
      &quot;Some family you are!&quot; He presses basement on the elevator.
      &quot;Atleast we get along unlike yours.&quot; My tongue slips, he back is on me. I don't get to see his reaction.
      &quot;I am sorry i didn't...&quot; He cuts me.
      &quot;You didn't mean to say that...&quot; He sighs frustrated. &quot;Don't be sorry for what you mean.&quot;
      I shiver when we get to the basement. It is dark and isolated. I Fall into steps behind him, making sure to stay close to him as possible.
      He still has the blu

  I scramble every corner of Quinn's kitchen. There's no food, plate, cup or even spoon. My stomach grumbles and I yawn on top of it.
      The elevator opens and a muscular guy with a weather beaten face steps in.
      &quot;Mr. Nickel asked me to pick you up.&quot; He is direct with no formalities.
      &quot;Who are you?&quot;
      &quot;His family driver and bodyguard.&quot; He stays at one position.
      &quot;Where is he?&quot; I ask.
      &quot;He apologises, he had errands to run.&quot; Not a muscle on his face moves as he speaks.
      &quot;Alright, I will pick my bag.&quot;
      &quot;I will be waiting ma'am.&quot; He says.
      Ma'am? &quot;Call me, Cara.&quot; I say as I leave and he nods.
      The ride to school makes me realise that Quinn's apartment is closer to school compared to mine. The ride is consisted of me trying to have a small talk with the driver/bodygu

  I follow Oliver inside his new apartment, my head reeling with questions. The inside is really fancy, there's a huge photo of Nimo dangling next Oliver's favourite grandfather clock.
      &quot;Can we talk?&quot; I don't wait for him to get comfortable after pecking Nimo who throws me a nervous look. &quot;Now!&quot; I order.
      He shrugs nonchalantly and follows me to his kitchen.
      &quot;I need an explanation and this time you aren't going to just give me some lame answers.&quot; I say as soon as we are alone.
      &quot;What do you want to know?&quot; His demeanour turns serious.
      &quot;Where you got the money to afford this apartment and what exactly happened to the mechanic shop?&quot;
      &quot;I used my saving and for the shop, like I told you it burned down.&quot; He doesn't blink as he says this. His face is hard, the same face my father had when he was close t

      He still has the blue old chipped truck. He reaches for the door and i stop him.
