Kendall Jenner's mind

(8:10 AM Tuesday)

     Staring at Nick was like staring at a toad. He stared at me with grumbling dead eyes, his shoulders shunted forward as he played with his fingers. I could stare anywhere but his broody eyes. It was as if they were sending me daggers.

     After a few more seconds, I spoke up, tired of the anticipation of sitting here and having him stare at me like I murdered his dog. "I'm gonna go check on Joe." 

     I made a move to get up, but Nick also stood up, his eyes narrowed in an unreadable expression as if I had just suggested something utterly reckless. 

     I furrowed my eyebrows, and Nick shoved his hands in his pockets. He cleared his throat. "You stay; I'll go."

     I folded my arms across my chest, looking at him suspiciously. "Why does it have to be you? Is there a problem if I do—?"

     Nick waved off my questions and made his way out of the room. I couldn't help but sit myself down again. 

     After a minute, I huffed; this is ridiculous. What the hell am I doing? What the hell were THEY doing?

     About five long seconds later, Joe stepped into the room. He had his lips pressed lightly shut as he looked at me, nervously. I sat patiently, staring at his awkward state. 

     "Ahem." He quickly sat down. "So just to keep you updated; Gi just showed up. You could say Nick's having his daily dose of... eternal love, from Gigi." He forced out a smile, a pained one, and I couldn't help but drop my jaw.

     Before I could say anything, Nick lazily walked into the room, shoulders dropped. He looked bummed as fuck. As he dropped onto the couch next to me, (surprisingly) I automaticially reached out to graze his shoulder. 

     "Had fun with the old witch?" I said softly, making him chuckle. 

     "Shut up.." He couldn't hide the humor from me, of course. 

     "What'd she bribe you with this time?" I said with a smirk. "hopefully she kept sex out of this..." I added, out of context. More to myself, of course. 

     Nick and Joe coughed, very loudly. Nick frowned at me. "What the hell, Jenner??"

     I rolled my eyes. "In a curious matter. What was it then?" 

     Nick looked away. "I don't know anymore... She was mostly threatening me. And it's working." 

     I didn't know where he was looking, but he sure wasn't looking at me.
