"YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BASTARD!" Shrieked Maria Cade, causing a slurred bunch of curses to come from Robert's mouth.

Johnny winced involuntarily, hearing them from down the street. It was always like that at his house, yelling... hitting... he had hoped over time his parents would get over it, but so far nothing had changed (except maybe his dad's lack of a job). What little money they had was spent on beer and cigerettes. Maria would barely eat, just snack throughout the day between smokes, and the occasional bottle of beer.

"Big deal." He mumbled, trying to get some of the dried blood off his shirt. "If she wants to kill herself, big fuckin--"

A shot rang out, followed by another one.

Johnny paused for a moment, and began to run. Please god, oh please... don't let it be my house... He thought as he threw open the screen door and ran inside.

Robert Cade lay, sprawled out on the couch, with a gun in his hand. A bullet hole went right through his left eye; bits of brain scattered out behind him on the wall. Maria, meanwhile, had a hole in her chest. While she was still breathing, it was labored, and Johnny knew there was no chance for her.

"Mom?"

She looked at him, her usually hard, black eyes full of pain and grief. Whether it was the pain, or perhaps her oncoming death, she smiled at him, not a sarcastic smile, but a loving one. "Ti amo."

What little Italian/Spanish Johnny knew was put into effect right then. Ti amo... I love you...

He felt tears rolling down his cheeks, as he watched the life leave his mother's eyes. Johnny hadn't heard those words since he was a young boy, and hearing them now, while his mother was dieing...

Dead.

"BASTARD!" Johnny yelled, turning to his father's body and, snatching the gun from his hand, firing at the man's torso until there were no more bullets left. "YOU KILLED HER!" He shrieked, ignoring the pain in his jaw, and the nagging voice inside his head that yelled at him to get out.

The gun fell from his hands, as he grabbed at his hair, wanting to rip it out of his head in frustration. They were dead. Their fighting led to them shooting each other.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" He screamed as he pointed at his father and mother. "BOTH OF YOU! YOU CAN GO TO HELL!"

Of course, his mother saying she loved him, while it may have made a difference in his own eyes, did not make up for the verbal and physical abuse over the years.

With a final scream of rage and sorrow, he stomped out of the house, slamming the door shut behind him. It was only then, that the grief set in, and he sat down on the door step and cried.

Back To The BASICS

Original Appearance: Ninth Grade

It's All About YOU
Celebrity Portrayal: A model from Deviantart, actually... all I could find was the name Jonathan. If that's not okay, then I can probably find someone else.
Physical Appearance:
Some people might describe Nico Alinne as good-looking. However, if you asked other people they might just say he is another freak for dressing the way he does. Either way, the comments never seem to get to him and so he is oblivious to the fact that people actually comment on the way he looks.

In his own mind, Nico sees himself as somewhat handsome, if it wasn't for the fact that he was short and weighed less than any male he knew. For his age, Nico was always short, but his mother used to assure him that he would grow.

That was when he was six, and ten years later he is shorter than almost every person he knows, so he stopped believing a few years before. His small stature comes from his mother's side, although he sometimes wonders what went wrong earlier down the line because all males on her side are tall. Still, he has learned to live with this and will only snap at someone if they have repeatedly pointed out the fact that he is short.

Nico has always had a very fast metabolism. He will eat a lot, but doesn't seem to gain a lot of weight. The reason he eats a lot might just be because he doesn't get much to eat at home, but the real reason has yet to be revealed.

Of all the features Nico has, his hair is his favorite. It is black, but in the right light it can look (almost) brown. It goes down to his shoulders and has been layered. As long as he can remember, his bangs always reached his eyes. Having his hair in this way makes him feel safe, like if he can't see people then maybe they actually can't see him.

During most of the year Nico is a light olive colour (which is usually interpreted as just being pale) but in the summer he tends to spend more time outside, thus making him tan. His mother was Italian, and his father is a Native American which adds to his dark complexion.

Girls who go only by looks tend to like Nico, although he turns most of them down if they ask for a date. The reason for this is that Nico prefers the company of males. Many are surprised if he chooses to give out this piece of information because the way he dresses doesn't scream 'I like boys'.

Which is exactly how he likes it to be.

Clothing Style: His clothing style varies. If he feels creative he'll go all-out with makeup and he'll style his hair just so, then make sure to find something that matches all of that. But on most days you can find him wearing some sort of hoodie (or just a t-shirt, depending on the weather), a pair of jeans, and his worn out converse. Not a lot of style in the clothes, but he would rather stay simple than spend oodles of cash on just one pair of jeans.

Nico's dressier outfits look more like a costume than anything. Once, he was seen in a top hat and a cape. When asked what he why he was wearing that, he simply shrugged and replied that all his other clothes were in the laundry, and then he walked off. Basically, if he likes it, he'll wear it.
Personality:
He enjoys being sarcastic. It's his way of keeping safe. If he's sarcastic, he thinks maybe they won't get that he hate the way that he is living now, and that if he had a choice he would run away and go back to Queens.

He can be sweet and caring, but only towards people he likes. Those people happen to be very few, and he isn't about to make friends with some homophobic jerk who spits on him one day and the next apologizes, then expects to be greeted with a hug. Nico doesn't work like that, and he pities anyone who does.

As far as intelligence and schooling goes, he values it. The way he is living, his father doesn't expect a lot out of him and he has learned that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. He pays attention in school and loves to read. He learns as much as he can, and hopes one day to get into Oxford or some other Ivy League college (which would require him to take out a loan, get a lot of scholarships and get a job).

Despite all this, he is surprisingly introverted. Most of the time you can see him in the back of the classroom, not answering questions and hiding behind his bangs. In between classes or at lunch, he sits alone and reads or listens to his iPod, not really wanting human contact.

When he speaks, his voice is soft and you can completely tell that he comes from New York, for the accent is very obvious. People have commented on how funny it sounds, and as a result, he doesn't speak much.

This does not stop him from performing in plays/musicals if there are any to be performed in.

It's All BEHIND You
P.O.B: Queens
History:
Nico was born on a surprisingly rainy July night in Queens, but not in a hospital. He was also not born on a plane, train, boat, or bus. No, Nico Taylor Alinne was born in a taxi stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital. The taxi driver was horrified that Marissa had not held it in until they had reached the sterilized medical center, and angry that she had ruined the leather interior that he had been so proud of.

Such was Nico's birth.

He was brought up in a dysfunctional family, his father an abusive drunk who worked at a construction company, and his mother was depressed and somewhat delusional, writing columns for the New York Times and always cheating on her husband. Their apartment was cramped and shabby, the landlord rude and obnoxious, preferring to cheat his tenants out of as much money as possible rather than be liked.

If one was to ask about Nico's earliest memory, he would reply that it was when he was about four, when his mother came back from the movies with her latest date. The man had been tall and thin, with shaggy blonde hair and green eyes. His voice had been deep, and he had called Nico Clarence, before passing out on the couch.

Most of the time he raised himself, and through this he learned to be independent. He worked hard in school but barely said anything, not interested in spending time with the other children at recess. Instead, he preferred to sit by himself and read, or make up stories (Nico is quite the writer).

Around the time when he was in sixth grade, he began to find that girls did not interest him at all. Instead of staring hungrily at the females as they walked by in short skirts and tight t-shirts like the rest of the guys at his school, he watched the males (just not in the same attire).

Somehow it got around the school that Nico was gay, so he never really had to come out at all. How they found out was a mystery, but he was okay with people knowing. That is, until the beatings started. It started out as just a little push occasionally in the halls, but by the time Nico went into seventh grade, it was people dragging him into the boys bathroom, then leaving him in there with a black eye or maybe worse. It was upperclassmen waiting for him on the way home from school.

His father heard about it and the beatings that he gave his son became steadily worse, until Marissa could no longer ignore it. One day in August, shortly after Nico's fourteenth birthday, she sent him away to Virginia, to attend Roanoke Preparatory Academy (with some help from other people as well).

His mother got remarried and had Jonathan, whom Nico loves dearly. His father, meanwhile, moved out to Manhattan after divorcing Marissa and he now lives alone, insisting that Nico visit every once in a while despite his hatred toward the boy.

During Christmas and Easter, he goes to visit his mother and her husband, enjoying spending time with them much more now that Marco is there and his father is no where to be seen.

Family:

Antonio Sheretti>> Step-father


Marissa Meyers-Alinne-Sheretti >> Lives in Queens
