Chapter XII: Lost and Broken

He now stands before the Schneere mansion. Yesterday was tiring. He was exhausted. He collapsed on the bed without saying a word what so ever.

"Hello? May I come in now please? This is No Name, Nix's friend." his voice still with worry.

"Sure." the guard's voice was heard and the gates of the mansion opens slowly.

He swiftly passes the verdant facade of the mansion and knocks at the main door. The butler opens the doors and points him to the door of the music room. Music of Nix's cello can be heard as he approaches it, each note filled with melancholy.

He sighs slowly and knocks at the door. Thoughts filled his mind. He was nervous.

The music stopped and light footsteps could be heard. The doorknob twisted and the door slowly creaked. The door opened and stood Nix.

"Nix!" Onmaen said with surprise. "No Name!" Nix replied. "What happened to you? Zilch and I have been worrying about you!" he silently laughed at himself. He was starting to sound like his mother.

"Well, I've been through a lot lately. But enough about me. I heard that you rushed Zilch and Trent to the hospital!" worry present in her voice. "What happened to them?"

"Well, I'm not sure myself. I just saw them sitting in the park, in the middle of rainstorm." No Name rolled his eyes. Nix sighed. "I hope that they'll be okay." "Want to check on them? I'm sure Zilch would like to see you." Onmaen reassured.

"Sure! Why not! I'll just get changed. Wait a minute, alright?" Nix asked. "Sure."

Nix proceeded to the bathroom and No Name peered at the window. It was a nice day, today. The bright sunlight sparkled along the windowsill. He viewed the garden of the mansion.

At this moment, his heart shattered to a million pieces.

Lexi was kissing Nathan.

"You ready to leave?" Nix asked. This made No Name jump.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go." sadness filled his eyes. He stared down the floor.

He wanted to get away.
