y/n | lord bless us for this food and being able to be here right now with the people i love. amen.
N & P | amen.
you have fun conversations and you eat your sushi. you drop payton back at home. nick showers and you sit on the bathroom sink and talk to him. he opens the door.
N | if you're down we can save some water.
you smile at him and hop in the shower. you shower up then get out and dry off. nick walks in a pair of grey sweats. you walk over and hug him. he squeezes you against his warm chest. he sways a little and kisses your forehead. you look up at him and give him a kiss.

he kisses your forehead.
N | i love you.
that hits you in the heart a bit. you don't respond.
N | you don't have to say it back either. i just wanted to tell you.
you lay down in bed, laying your head on his chest. he runs his fingers through your hair as you fall asleep. you wake up and your stomach feels awful. like you're hungover. like someone is grabbing your stomach and twisting it. you get up and run to the bathroom waking nick up. you lean over the toilet and it all comes up. nick holds your hair back. after it's all out you fall against the bathroom wall breaking into tears. you are crying hysterically.
y/n | i- i thought i-i d-did it.
nick wraps his arms around you and rubs you back.
N | you did. you did it baby. i'm so proud of you. you'll get there. i promise. this may happen time and time again but eventually it will all get better.
you just keep crying. nick takes a wet rag and wipes the puke off your face and your hair. he changes your shirt and lays you back down in bed. he hold you tightly in his arms and talks to you softly until you fall asleep.
