The room was dead silent and cold. His fingers scrolled lightly on the laptop as he sat relaxed. His eyes were fixed on what he did and he looked grim. The noise that came from his tummy diverted his focus from the screen but he continued with what he did. There was a thud on the door. Someone knocked. He looked up, his attention was now on the door. There was no expression on his face, he wasn't in a good mood.
Scorpion walked in.
His eyes were on him. He hesitated first before he walked in, and after having summoned a lot of courage, he stood in front of Nolan and started.
"I know you're still mad at me ... but there's someone here to see you".
"I do not intend to see anyone, now please tell me the bug is gone". His eyes were dim. He didn't seem like he wanted to have this conversation.
"Um, are you sure you don't want to see this person?" Nolan was furious. He didn't look like he was in the mood for jokes. Just as he was about to explode on Scorpion, Sasha walked in.
"Nolan Armstrong". Her voice echoed in the room as she walked closer. Nolan's eyes strolled to the figure that stood before him.
"Sasha?" His facial expression brightened a little. She couldn't go close to him. They have a lot of catching up to do but his mood scared her. She came in all happy to see him only to see this side of him that she was always afraid of.
"Did you miss me?" Her tone was light. "Because I fucking missed you". She tried to stop herself from moving but her body was in control now. She walked to him and spread her arms around him, holding him as if she wanted this moment to not be a dream.
Sasha was one of the closest people to Nolan, and teasing her was one of the reasons.
Serenity, Sacha, and Nolan grew up as the richest kids in L.A, they had this bond amongst all their cousins. They were the worst and the most irresponsible jerks on the planet when they were teenagers. They were basically rich and spoilt.
Nolan had always been a terrible person until he met Kyla. When Kyla died, he became worse. He didn't even need Sasha and serenity anymore. He didn't need anyone in his life. He didn't even want to live anymore. He blamed himself over and over. Now, he doesn't even feel anything anymore. Kyla's death turned him Into a dark, heartless man. He doesn't even have a heart anymore. He doesn't smile, he doesn't give a shit about anyone, he just lives because he feels like hurting others the same way he hurts. Making them feel the hurt he felt and still feels, seemed like a way of paying life back through the pain of others.
"Get off me". Sasha laughed a hearty laugh and cried at the same time. She held him tighter. Of course, she knows that her cousin was as rude as fuck even before he met Kyla. There is no difference now, even if he hurt her feelings so bad, he is Nolan. He is different but he's still Nolan.
A lot had changed though.
