[This was such a crappy chapter]
"Damn did you guys hear that?" Nick said into the camera. It was storming out and he was broadcasting.
Carlie was out at a friend's house and had to wait out the storm. She didn't think she'd get caught in the rain. It came out of nowhere. She wanted to get home.
Nick was doing a prank call. He was talking as his girl persona Sara. Everyone loved her. She was sassy with a badass attitude. She was currently persuading a guy to meet her. The guy was buying her story and as the call escalated, Nick made a funny face at the camera as he listened and stifled a laugh. He looked at the camera about to let the the guy know he was being pranked when everything shut off. The house was pitch black. "What the hell?" at that moment a loud boom of thunder shook the windows. Nick got up and lit the lanterns they used for camping. He put one in the kitchen and one in the living room. He woke his phone and saw that it was a little after one am. He sent out a tweet explaining what happened.
He got instant replies and he liked a few before posting a pic on instagram. He went to the bedroom and lay on the bed. He decided to text Carlie then put his phone on the nightstand and just listened to the rain. It was so hard and loud. He eventually drifted off to sleep but woke when he heard a noise. He sat up and listened. He got out of bed, and stepped out. He walked downstairs into the living room and saw Carlie coming through the door. "Omg its horrible out there." Nick walked over to her. "What the hell Carlie I thought you were staying at Shannon's?"
She took her jacket and umbrella and hung them up to dry. "You know how I feel about storms, besides she had someone over and I didn't want to be away from you."
There was a flash of lightening and another big bang of thunder making her jump. Carlie hated thunderstorms as a kid and still did. She walked upstairs to the bedroom, Nick following. Using the light from her phone, she grabbed a t-shirt and her sleep shorts. She took off her wet clothes and lay them on the bathtub. She was in her bra and panties when she felt his arms around her waist. "You're freezing." She managed to pull on her clothes and Nick pulled her to the bed. "Come on." They lay under the sheets with her cuddled in his arms talking softly and listening to the rain.
After a few hours the storm stopped but the power was still out. Nick sat up. "I can't sleep." he pulled out his laptop and turned it on. After a minute he clicked on a file and looked at pics before deciding to edit a video. Carlie was looking at the screen. "Oh I get a behind the scenes look." He glanced at her. "I don't know if I'll post it."
"Why not?" she asked.
He said what she knew he would. He worried it wouldn't do well and that really bothered him. He continued to edit as she lay next to him.
