Nicks POV

I couldn't believe it. I was the one. I had caused Judy to get hurt. Me and my stupid carelessness. 

Nick sat in a chair near the bed. Judy was asleep, but soon awakened and saw Nick with her phone in the chair. 

"...Nick"

Judy realizes that Nick has seen the video on her phone of him after the party while they were drunk. The one with the Bartender in the background.

"Wh-what are you doing with my phone?"

"Wh-what are you doing with my phone?"

I had done this to her. I had hurt Judy. Not directly, but I had done it.

"I knew it. I knew something was bothering you. I noticed the text from Silver, so naturally, I got curious and called him. I can't believe you didn't tell me about this Judy." I pressed play on the video.

"JuDDDDYyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Leavin' yur phone behind while yr errrrm? ... at -an - off the toilet was not very *hiccups* clever of youuuu! Im too drunk for this. Obviouuuuusly I'm going to fill this with random pictures and video clips of myself!!!!"

Judy jumped out of the bed and ran towards me, trying to catch the phone.

I held it above my head and clasped it so tightly that even if she jumped her highest she wouldn't be able to snatch it.

"Come to think of it, You've been gone a helluva long time now! Did you decide to exercise now instead of at 6 in the morning like you said you would? Dang, it! I really wanted to see your route!! Especially that echo cave you mentioned! Yur phone is allllmost dead. Oh Hi, Judy! I wasn't doing anything! Give me that you dumb fox! Why are you wearing my flower crown? YOu mean why am I wearing it without the proper accessories?  Give me your ribbon, Carrots!"

I handed the phone back to her. We were both crying at this point. I began to walk towards my clothes. I couldn't be with her. Not now. Not while I had to deal with this guilt that I had hurt my precious Judy.

"NICK, NO!" Judy ran to the door and stood in front of it as if that would stop me from leaving.

*sobbing* "This is why I couldn't tell you! It-it was stupid of me to react like this! And run off! You couldn't have known...I didn't want you to bl...It was a simple mistake, Nick."

That bartender.

"After we talk to Silver we need to find Max." Judy looked at me hopefully.

Fresh tears waterfalled down my face. "Simple Mistake? WHAT WERE YOU - YOU DONT THINK I WOULDVE FOUND OU SOONER OR LATER!?"

"OF COURSE YOU WOULD!"

I laughed bitterly. Judy, Judy, Judy. What the hell were you thinking?

Judy grabbed me and hugged me around the waist. "I panicked alright?  Nick, I hate to see you hurt. In any way."

I looked down at her tiny form, hugging me so close, even after what I did.

Then to the bandage that still covered the claw marks left by her attackers.

I walked away.
