Your step-brother, Nick, was your best friend. He was a little too protective over you at times, but it was only because he cared about you. You always saw him as just your older brother.

Ever since he moved to Texas it's been lonely. He visits very little. However, he's staying for much longer this visit.

"So how have you been?" He asked, sitting on the edge of your bed. He was a little touchy with you, more than before, but you never mentioned it.
