Me and the sturniolo triplets.

the drunk state and the pain

"Matt, what is happening?" Nick asked sitting up on the couch.

"We're trying to find Matteo, he's not with Lola, in fact, Lola is back in Argentina, and we have no idea where else he could be" Matt looked around.

"Fuck" Nick brushed his eyes with his hands and tried to fully wake up.

"Do you remember what he was wearing?" Matt asked, rubbing Nick's shoulder.

"Uh, I don't think I do" Nick mumbled.

"It's alright Nick, don't worry, what do you wanna do now?" Matt smiled.

"Cry" He whispered.

"Do, it's fine" Matt hugged him, the other breaking into tears as soon as he felt Matt's arms hold him.

"I don't want him to feel that way" he cried out.

"And he probably doesn't want you to feel this way" Matt whispered.

"I need to find him"

"It's alright, you will" Matt caressed the other's back.

"But" Nick pulled away from the hug. "What if the way he feels just ruins what we have?" Nick whispered.

"I don't think that will happen" Matt said.

"Matt!" both Matt and Nick heard Chris.

"I'll go, stay here" Matt said to Nick and ran towards the front door, where Chris was.

"They think they've found him" Chris said.

"What? Where?" Matt lowered his voice.

"Passed out on a bar" Chris said sadly.

"That's not like him" Matt was confused.

"Someone should go with the police and see if it's him or not.

"How could they have found him?" Matt was extremely confused.

"I remembered what he was wearing, and after some more description, they might have found him" Matt nodded.

"Who's going tho?" He asked.

"I mean either of us could go" Chris shrugged.

"Yeah no I'll go, you stay with Nick" Matt approached the police officer and Chris walked towards Nick.

"Hey" Chris smiled and sat next to Nick.

Nick sniffled and snuggled against his brother.

"Heyy, it's alright" Chris hugged him. "You guys should get like a relationship therapist or something" Chris said.

"Yeah, it's not a bad idea" Nick shrugged. "This is going to be really hard" He cried out.

"There's no way you can leave him, is there?" Chris asked.

"Why would I? I love him, we had just started to build something that could be so beautiful" Nick said.

"It's really not easy for him, is it? and it's definetily going to be hard for you aswell" Chris caressed his brother's arm, trying to comfort him.

"I just need to talk to him" He cried again, not being able to hold his tears. "Where did Matt go?" Nick asked after catching his breath.

"He's just with the police, don't worry" Chris tightened his hug.

Nick relaxed his body as he tried to not think so much, almost falling asleep in his brother's arms.

"Do you want something to drink? or eat?" Chris asked not realizing Nick was falling asleep.

Nick jumped at the other's voice. "Oh, sure, water please" He sat up, resting his back and head on the couch.

Chris grabbed him a glass of water and came back to the couch, sat next to him and smiled, handing him the glass.

"Thanks" Nick smiled back.

They sat in a comfortable silence as Nick sipped from his glass and sunk in this own thoughts.

Chris noticed this, and thought of a way of keeping Nick away from any bad thoughts.

"Wanna watch something?" He asked, putting a hand on the other's shoulder.

"Mhm?" Nick snapped out of his mind and looked at Chris. "Oh, yeah, I guess" He shrugged.

"Edward? Scooby?" Chris gave Nick some ideas.

"Something new maybe?" He smiled.

"Sure" Chris took the remote and opened some platform to watch a new movie.

Some time passed until Matt came back with Matteo, struggling to help him even stand up.

Nick whispered a worried "oh my god" and stood up, walking towards them.

Tears formed in his eyes at the sight.

"Nick" Chris said and stood up aswell, following Nick.

"Let- let me shower him or something" Nick cried out.

"Are you sure?" Matt asked worried.

"Yes" Nick cried and tried to grab Matteo's body. "Help me get him upstairs" Nick said.

Matt and Chris both helped Nick go upstairs with Matteo.

"He's gonna be so afected by all of this" Matt sighed.

"What does that mean?" Nick cried.

"I know how he feels Nick, he hates taking time and emotions from other people" Matt said, struggling to keep going upstairs.

"But" Nick gasped. "But that happens no matter what, people can't control it" He said confused.

"We think it's our fault Nick, we think we have to control it" Matt explained.

"Thanks for explaining it Matt, I need to talk about this with him" Nick said, finally getting to the top of the stairs.

"Of course man" Matt smiled and helped them get to the bathroom, finally leaving them alone.

"What is happening?" Matteo asked, barely being able to talk.
