chris comes home, he looks empty but still trying to hold on, he puts down the keys on the table in the corridor, walking in with a tired face, he sighs,

as he sits down nick comes out running from his room, making chris glance at him,

"you're back"
nick says, with a relieved tone,

chris nods slowly as he looks away,
"I'm back"
he almost whispers,

nick stares at his brother that's he's slowly losing, he sighs and walks to him, sitting on the small couch next to the one chris is sitting on, then chris rests the back of his head on the couch head,
nick looks to him,
staring hard and strong,

making chris tiredly move his head to his left to glance at his brother,

".. what is it?"
chris asks with a weak voice,

"where were you? why are you so tired? what's wrong with you lately? and why are you so out of spirits? why don't you ever tell me when you're having a hard ti-"

"hey hey enough, one question at a time"
chris says as he lifts his head up with a tired frown,
he closes his eyes and sighs heavily,
"..sorry, i couldn't process any question you asked, now ask again, just one"

"okay, where were you?"
nick follows chris's request,

"i was out drinking"
chris answers as he closes his eyes again, not proceeding to open them,

"what's wrong with you lately?"
nick asks the next one,

"I'm just tired and have no energy"
he answers as he puts his right hand on his hoodie collar and pulls it away from his neck,

"then why are you tired?"
nick continues,

"because i am"
chris almost whispers, his tone weak and faded,
he answers as he sinks down in the couch,

nick stares at him,,
"hey,are you okay?"

chris tilts his head with one eyebrow raised, his eyes still closed,
"yes i am okay, are YOU okay??"

"no, no you're not okay chris, you seem out of it"
nick says with a worried frown,
"what happened? i can tell you're having a hard time, so tell me, what happened chris?"

chris doesn't respond, he just nonchalanty and tiredly sinks down once more, more than half of his legs are off the couch, the hoodie cuddling his neck and jawline,
he yawns as nick watches him, slightly annoyed that chris isn't being honest with him,

"okay, last question"
nick says,

"hmm"
chris hums,

"..is the state you are in right now has something to do with abby?"

chris opens his eyes fast, he stares at the wall ahead of him, a slight shock in his eyes,

his eyes relax sadly,
"..no.."
he says as he sinks in once more, the hoodie collar totally hiding his cheeks and chin as his face sinks in it the more he slides down on the couch,

nick sighs,
"so it does have something to do with her"
nick says to himself,
"so what happened?"

chris is tipsy, he doesn't answer, or to say it more fittingly, he refuses to answer,

"chris, can you sober up a bit? i need to talk with you in a serious matter"
nick says, but chris doesn't answer as well,
leading nick to sigh again,

"okay.. you don't have to tell me what happened, but can you tell me how your relationship with her is doing now?"
he asks, not expecting chris to answer but testing his luck,
