    Nico’s pov

    Having Talia in our sses today have actually made the day more fun.

    And I still can’t get over how smart she is.

    And honestly I would be super happy to have Talia in our grade and I can see her boyfriends would

    be too.

    “Well, it have been pretty fun actually!” Talia said smiling at Carter.

    “All teachers have taking such a liking to Talia!” I said with a proud look on my face.

    “Such a big liking that they want her to jump grade!” Joshua said also looking proud at Talia.

    “What? So now Talia will jump up to your grade?” Den looked a little sad.

    So did Kyle, Theo, Aurora, Austin, Jake and Cami, and honestly I can’t me them!

    Having Talia in our ss have made ss more fun and if that is how it is for them too, I

    understand.

    “Nothing is decided yet, and we have to talk to dad and Mr White is also gonna talk to the principal!” Talia said smiling at our younger brothers.

    “Like I know you are smart but so smart you can jump sses! The sses will be so boring without you!” Kyle said with sadness.

    “Let us try to enjoy the rest of our day and think about the vacation we will go on tomorrow!” Talia said trying to cheer up the youngest of us.

    “Yes I can’t wait to travel to Dubai, I have always wanted to go there!” Cami said with a happy

    smile.

    “I still can’t get over you know a prince!” Austin chuckle and we all chuckle with him.

    And then the rest of the lunch we all just talked,ughed and looked up a lot of stuff we could do in

    Dubai.

    Then when we headed to our next sses, Cole was carry Talia and she sat on hisp.

    For the next it was Levi having her on hisp thenst ss it was me having her on myp.

    When we were done at school Kayden lifted her and she went home with her boyfriends and I was gonna drive Luke and Even to get some of their stuff they will need for our trip.

    So I’m driving, Luke in the passenger seat and Even is in the back seat.

    “I truly look forward to this trip with you guys!” Even said looking out of the window.

    “Yeah me too!” I answered with a smile.

    “You know it’s actually crazy how much have changed with all of us since Talia got back home with you guys!” Luke said looking out the window.

    “What do you mean?” I asked raising an eyebrow looking between Luke and the road.

    “I mean our little group, your group and Kayden’s group have always been sticking to ourselves but

    all thanks to Talia we have all gotten along and consider each other brothers now” Luke said still looking out the passenger window.

    “You are right, but I honestly I’m happy we all have gotten closer, you guys are great and you all mean so much to Talia, and then you all have shown you all care about her and the rest of the family. You all have be family to us all not just to Talia!” I said with honesty and sincerity.

    “And Talia have truly soften you up bro!” Even said chuckling and that made meugh.

    “Yes she truly have!” Iughed then parked my car at Even’s ce.

    “I will be right back!” Even said then headed out of my car.

    “Luke?” I asked looking over at him.

    He turned his head looking at me with a raised eyebrow. “Yes Nico?” he asked.

    “How are you holding up after everything with Maddie?” I asked.

    “Well, I have to say I do sometimes have nightmare about her face looking back at me right before bI /bslice her throat. But what I have more of a nightmare about is seeing Talia bleeding out. Man I look at her as the baby sister I never got, and I can never get that sight out of my mind!” Luke said

    looking at me with nothing but honesty.

    “I understand, I don’t know how I would react if I were the one founding her like that!” I said looking forward out of the windshield.

    “How are you holding up with the Maddie thing? She was your girlfriend at one point.” he ask raising his eyebrow again.

    “Well, I don’t feel any remorse that she is gone, I never had any romantic feelings for her, she only were a means to an end, but I do regret ever get Talia unto her radar if that make sense? If it wasn’t for her obsession with me, she never would have done what she did to Talia. I do feel that is part of my fault!” I answered.

    “You know Talia would never think that! Talia would never me you!” Luke said looking back out of the window then we saw Even ising back to the car and put his stuff in the trunk and got in the car, then we got back on the road and headed towards Luke’s house.

    “I really wanna see Talia fly the ne though! It’s crazy she is even younger then us but skilled in so many things!” Even said in shock.

    “Yeah, and honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if she have more skills up her sleaves!” Luke said with a

    chuckle.

    “She sure is talented!” I said with a smile, I am nothing but proud of her! I parked in the driveway to Luke’s house and he got ut and inside the house.

    “I can’t believe we wil be staying at a prince of Dubai’s ce for our vacation!” Even said.

    “All thanks to Talia again, she sure is something else!” I said shaking my head with a smile.

    “Yeah and fly a ne solo at the age of 11, nothing she does surprise me anymore!” Even said shaking his head as well with a smile.

    “You know, I’m not used to be this sensitive guy, but I do wanna say I’m very grateful that Talia have friends like you, friends that are so good friends they have be family!” I said looking at Even in

    the rearview mirror.

    “Nico, it’s nothing you need to thank us for, Talia is the sister we all want to have and we are grateful that you guys are okay with that and also look at us as family!” He said with sincerity.

    “I’m d to hear that bro, and I have also noticed that you and Luke are the most protective of her

    in ‘your‘ groupe of friends!” I said.

    “Yeah I guess that is because me and Luke always have wanted to have a baby sister, but never got the chance, but when we meet Talia and got to know her, we both felt this protectiveness over her, but nothing romantic, we love her like she would be our own sister!” He said just when Luke got back

    and we headed home to the Bianchi estate.
