Without you, I feel broke
Like I'm half of a whole
Without you, I've got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you, I'm just a sad song
I'm just a sad song

         Everyone finally left and Michela went to Nicholas' room while Nicholas went to Justin's room with Justin. Nicholas looked at Justin, sensing something was very wrong with him.

        "Hey, are you okay?"

        Justin looked at Nicholas

        "It's my fault that Michela got hurt,"

        Justin's voice cracked towards the end. Nicholas's eyes widened, shocked that Justin blamed himself.

        "Justin...do not blame yourself for something Kenzee did, don't do that to yourself,"

        Justin shook his head.

        "If I never dated Kenzee, she would have never met Michela, and Michela never would have been stabbed..."

        Nicholas shook his head. He put both of his arms on Justin.

        "Justin Belasco. You are my little brother and I know you. This is not your fault. Mickey would never blame you either. People make mistakes all the time Justin. It's in the past."

        Justin sighed and nodded. Nicholas could still sense that he was in pain and remembered back to when he came in crying about losing his crush. Nicholas smiled softly.

        "And hey, Jake and Michela aren't dating,"

        Justin gave him a confused look, eyebrow raised. Nicholas smirked,

        "Michela is siiinggglllleeeee,"

        Justin gave Nicholas a shocked look, feeling something in his stomach at that sentence.

        "Why are you saying that again?"

        Nicholas rolled his eyes at his oblivious brother.

        "Oh my god Justin...because you like her,"

        Justin's eyes widened at his brother's words.

        "Wh-what? No...no I don't,"

        Nicholas rolled his eyes at his brother's attempt.

        "You two are so stupidly oblivious sometimes,"

        Justin gave him a look of offense as to which Nicholas just rolled his eyes.

        "Oh my god...okay, you and Michela clearly need to talk about everything."

        Justin rolled his eyes.

        "Give me some slack man, we have nothing to talk about,"

        Nicholas gave him a 'really?' look. Justin scratched the back of his neck.

        "Okay fair."

        "Listen, you do need to talk to her man. If I never settled things with Ash, man I don't know what I would have done. Just promise me that you will talk to Mickey about this."

        Justin nodded, feeling a little more confident after talking to Nicholas.

        "I will...I mean I'm guessing we are walking to camp together tomorrow,"

        Nicholas nodded.

        "Just watch over her."

        Justin smiled and nodded.

        "Always,"
