julia was currently sitting in the sturniolo's apartment. nick had invited her and james over earlier that morning. the group was sprawled across the couch and julia couldn't help but think about the one boy who wasn't there.

she had her head resting on james's chest and her feet on nick's lap.

"anyone want a pepsi?" chris asks from the fridge in the kitchen.

"can i have a water?" james asked, looking over to chris.

"that's embarrassing," nick jokes at the lack of wanting a pepsi, "i'll take one chris."

"ok water for james, pepsi for nick, what about you jay?"

"no, im okay," she smiles slightly, shifting up from james's lap.

"where's matt?" james asks.

the group goes silent and sends each other looks with no real meaning behind them, but they all feel the uncomfortableness.

"oh he's asleep," chris mumbles.

"wait what?" julia says shooting chris a look, "he's here? why isn't he in here then?" she says motioning to the lounge room.

"cmon julia," nick nudges her discreetly glancing over at the blonde boy on the couch.

"so you're telling me that he is upstairs avoiding us because of him," she shout-whispers to nick.

he looks down and shrugs, confirming her suspicion. julia feels tears pool in her eyes as she blinks repeatedly trying to hold them back, but it's no use. 

julia realises why this is happening, she loves matt and misses him. no shit.

but why can't she just believe he feels the same way?

nick see's the girls urgency in her tone, it's clearly an upset one. he wants to protect her from confrontation, so he pulls her into the hallway. 

"we'll be right back," nick says to james and chris, pulling julia's arm.

when julia looks up she's standing on the porch, the last place she should be, but nick doesn't know the history.

"julia what are you doing?" nick accuses.
