Cory struggled against the chain link gate that he stood backed up against. Nick was close, to close for Cory's liking.

"Hmph" He smirked and backed away.

"Your fun to mess with." Nick said, still smirking.

"S-so the blood thing was just a joke?" Cory nervously said.

"Oh that? No. That was very much true." He stuffed his hands into his pockets while glaring micheviously at everyone.

"But-but how! There is no way that it was mine!"

Nick let out a small laugh. "Are you sure about that?"

Cory thought back, the blood I saw earlier, that wasn't mine, I started bleeding as I was running.... Right?

He looked towards Ashlie, she cautiously studied Nick. His eyes, for just a second- quick enough that is she would have blinked, she would have missed it- flashed green.

What is with that...

Uni was watching Cory intently.

And Tommy was... Cory couldn't tell, he had an unreadable expression on his face.

He pursed his lips into a thin line then snapped his attention back to Nick.

"This isn't you Nick." He studied Nick's face, it looks like Nick, sounds like Nick, but acts differently than Nick.

"How would you know? You don't know the first thing about me do you?" Cory could see it, the anger building up in Nick, almost radiating off of him.

He was about to say something else until Uni grabbed his wrist, dragging him away.

"You're such an idiot Cory!" Uni whisper shouted.

"What are you talking about! Nick's obviously the idiot here!" Cory grunted as he was pulled harder away from the scene. Uni only sighed in response and kept tugging Cory farther away from everyone else.

~Cory & Uni~

They stopped after rounding a tree, Cory feeling tired after being dragged.

Uni took a deep breath and brought his hands up to Cory's chest. Cory was shoved against the trunk of the tree, feeling bewildered and hot in the face. Uni was looking at the features of Cory's face, then looked down to where Cory was bleeding. He took his hands to the rim of Cory's shirt and pulled his shirt up to his chest. He ran a hand over his wound and the bruising that was there.

He lightly pressed down and felt Cory wince under the touch. He hesitated, then quickly wrapped his hands around Cory. He trembled a bit, but stayed steady, tightening his grip around Cory.

"I was terrified." He said a small sob escaping his mouth. Cory was surprised, he's known Uni the longest-aside from Tommy- and knows him the best.

"There was so much blood, I th-thought that maybe you were already dead, and I was just so... Useless. You're my best friend, as cliché as it sounds."

Cory, slowly, wrapped his arms around Uni and buried his head in his neck. He always wondered what something like this would feel like.

In a, completely platonic way, of course.

"Uni.." Cory mumbled. Uni let go and stood back a bit. His face was red, Cory thought it was because he was shooken up.

Cory didn't want to go back to the others, at least not right now. A few yards away from them Cory could see a huge boulder, smooth and flat on the top.
