Nickie's POV
I woke up due to my mother's yelling from the other side of the house. I grabbed my phone from the night stand beside my bed and when I checked the time, my eyes widen. It's 04:00 in the morning and that old lady is already yelling. Oh, no. Don't get things twisted yet, I love my parents but sometimes I just don't understand their lifestyles. If you were in my shoes, then you could understand how irritating they can be.
I stormed out of my bedroom to go find out why that woman is trying to wake up the whole neighborhood this early. As I was getting closer, I heard my mother shouting "over my dead body", and you won't like to hear what came in my mind. I walked in to the kitchen and they all looked at me with red eyes. "What is it mom? You are forever waking the whole city with your loudness. Don't you get tired? I asked with so much anger in my voice. "Good morning princess, mom always tells you never to enter the kitchen in your PJs." Dad said while greeting me. "Hold on sir, don't change the topic. I might be a kid but not stupid. Everyone can feel the tension in this room, so just tell what the hell is going on and leave my PJs, they are clean." I said in an annoyed tone. I seriously like being rude to them just to avoid being irritated.
"Your loving father here wants us to quit what we are doing and be home 24/7, I can't go to work and you can't go to school nor shopping." Mom responded with so much sadness in her eyes. "Hahahahaa, that is not funny at all. Any other joke? I asked while trying to make coffee. Dad got closer and took my hands from the kettle as I was trying to warm them. "Princess, you know I love you. I am doing all these to protect my family. You two are my life and I can't afford to lose you. Believe me
When I say I want to see you hold your PhD but at the same time, I can't risk your life. I know I haven't been the best father that u wanted me to be but just know that I love you." He finished with tears in his eyes.
