It's impossible.
I issue a high-pitched squeak as I watch the whole troupe of them come beelining straight for me.
"It's that one, isn't it." Ivan surges forward, and I realize they're not coming for me. They are all going for Nic.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
I'm staring at the group of them as they issue threats and tell Nic that he needs to come outside. My father is doing nothing to calm down the situation.
Tripp is by his friend's side in an instant and my head is just bouncing back and forth like a tennis ball as I watch my worst nightmare come to life.
I've never been at so much of a loss than I am right now.
Thankfully, Ardi comes to the rescue.
She stands on her seat and giving the loudest stadium whistle I've ever heard shuts everyone up.
"I don't care what the hell the problem is, but you will get off my floor with it." She gives us all her charge nurse glare. It's not hard to see why she's the boss in here. "Dr. Dracos, maybe your office would be better suited for this conversation." She glares at him, and finally, it kicks my ass into gear. We're yelling and screaming in front of patients.
"She's right. We don't need to do this here. Not now." I speak up.
"We need to do it right fucking now." Ivan glares at the back of Nic's head as he and Tripp talk secretly about something.
"There's a big parking lot out back." Aiden offers up.
"No." Nic barks out, He looks over his shoulder at me, "Snakes." he says, and I shudder.
"Yeah, okay, no parking lot." I say. "Well, to your office it is." I walk with a purpose, making sure to keep my family separated from Tripp and Nic.
We get into his office, and it's only a microsecond after the door closes that they are all screaming at each other again. I can't even hear what is being said as my brothers basically jump down Nic's throat for hurting me.
I try to get in front of all of them, but it's like trying to wrangle five snarling bulls.
It's impossible alone.
I look to the patriarch of the family, still standing quietly, just watching everything happen.
"Dad! Make them stop." I scream at him.
"Wait what?" Nic instantly stops arguing with my brothers and directs his attention to me." What did you say?" He asks again.
"I was telling him to make them stop." I answer, out of breath.
Nic's eyes narrow and he pulls Tripp back.
His eyes dart around the room at the men and then to my father before settling back on me, "Okay, who are these people Nyla?"
"This is my father and these are my brothers" I say.
"Wait! All of them are your brothers" Tripp asks, "That one too?" He points to Eric.
"Yeah, all of them."
Tripp turns and smacks Nic with the back of his hand across his chest. "You big dummy! I told you!" He storms away and sits behind Nic's desk, who is staring at me with his hand over his mouth, no longer angry but shocked.
"What did I miss?" Eric turns and asks me.
"I don't know.” I step forward with my arms crossed over my chest. "What's going on?"
