This chapter is gonna switch between Nicole's and Ethan's POV a couple of times so bare with me.
*****
*Ethan's POV*
Its 12 am. The party is almost over and half of the people went home. Kayla is approaching me with a concerned look.
"Hey Ethan. Have you seen Nicole?" She asked.
"Um not since she got here. Why?"
"I can't find her anywhere. Can you do me a favor and search for her. Please give me a call if you find her. I'm gonna look downstairs in our uncles apartment."
"Yea no problem."
Where could she have gone?
I begin to look around the apartment but there is no sign of her.
Maybe she's in one of our rooms...
As I go down the hallway that leads to my room and Gray's room, I hear a muffled sobbing. I stop in my tracks and follow the sound.
The bathroom?
I press my ear against the door and the sound has become a whole lot more audible.
"Hello?" I knock on the door.
"This bathroom is occupied. Use the one down the hall."
"Nicole?" I'm worried now.
"Go away Ethan."
I tried jiggling the door knob but it won't budge.
"Are you okay in there?" I ask as I'm looking for the key above the door.
"I'm fine. Just leave me alone."
"You don't sound fine Nicole. Kayla is worried sick about you." I unlocked the door.
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" She tried throwing a toothbrush at me but it missed my face and hit the door.
"Calm down Nicole. What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." She turned her back to me and stuck her head in between her knees. She started to sob some more.
Did I do something? She was mad at me earlier. I can't help but feel guilty about this.
"Is this about earlier. Listen I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
"N-No... It's no-nothing yo-you...did" she said in between sobs.
"Hey... Hey. Everything is gonna be alright." I sat down on the floor beside her and brought her in closer to me. She flinched a little at my touch but she wrapped her arms around me and started sobbing into my chest.
*Nicoles POV*
I don't know how long I've been in the bathroom crying. I guess it was a bad idea coming. My sobbing is interrupted when a hear a knock at the door.
"Hello?" The unknown voice says.
"This bathroom is occupied. Use the one down the hall." I can't hide my crying.
"Nicole?" Crap it's Ethan.
"Go away Ethan." I heard him jiggling the doorknob. Good thing it's locked.
"Are you ok in there?"
"I'm fine just leave me alone." I don't want anyone to see me like this, especially him. That's when I heard him unlock the door.
