Nicole's POV:

i woke up and it was 5:45. "just great. this is exactly what i needed." i walked into my kitchen and grabbed a red bull.

after that i walked into my bathroom and washed my face and re did my make up. i put on some black sweats and a flannel. after that my birth control alarm went off. i have an alarm so that i won't forget it because i tend to do that. i turned off the alarm and got it out and took the pill with the red bull.

i walked out of the apartment with my keys and locked the door. walking out of the building i saw a black range rover with tinted windows just sitting there, weird. today feels so weird and i don't know why it does. i'm not forgetting anything and i don't have anyone looking after me so what is going on.

i took my eyes off of the car and walked to mine unlocking it and getting in. played some music while i drove off to my parents house.

it was about an hour drive so i think i could make it. while i was driving the same man from the tattoo shop kept popping into my head. who is he? why was he so handsome ? "god nicole snap out of it you have your parents to worry about right now."

i hated the thought of being at my parents, i needed something to distract myself. so i turned on my music on high volume and let it play the whole time.

after an hour of driving which i did take my time doing just so i wouldn't be there earlier than they needed me. i reached my parents house i turned the car off and took a deep breathe before stepping out and walked up to the door and knocked.

after a few minutes no one answered but then my dad answered the door and gave me a hug. "nicole !! i missed you so much how are you doing? it feels like forever since i've seen you" as he kissed my cheek with the biggest smile.

i loved this man so much it sucks i don't talk to him much anymore. after a few minutes we walked into the kitchen to see my mom cooking dinner. she made my favorite. chicken alfredo. one of the best things she makes.

she turned around with a disgusted look on her face and a mix of she wanted to murder me. we never saw eye to eye with things. mostly about me. but she needs to get over it.

"you covered up your tattoos with a flannel?" she asked me. "yeah mom i did just so that you wouldn't complain about it. she took my hands and showed my dad the new one i got today.

"Nicole that's cool as hell. i love it i wouldn't have even noticed it if you didn't show me"

makes sense at least he doesn't hate me for having them like my mother does.

"yeah i just got it today i like it a lot johnny did good" i said while sitting down at the table. after a little bit of eating dinner with my parents and talking the conversation of work came up and i dreaded it but i didn't show any emotion or say anything. i got pretty good at that after a while.

"nicole you should stop by our job one day and see what you think about it" dad said.

mom joined in with "no she shouldn't i don't want people at our job thinking we have some criminal daughter because of all those tattoos and piercings. it's embarrassing and not good for the work environment"

i stared at her with a blank expression and just shook my head. after that dinner was quite, the tension grew more and more to where i didn't want to be there, so i got up and put my dishes in the sink.

we all finished eating and i got up to say goodbye. i gave dad a hug and he kissed my cheek and hugged me tighter.

and i just looked at my mom and walked out.and drove off to my apartment.
