Everything was going well. Actually – great! Nick and Jess were trying to make do of their relationship/non-relationship. They bought were very happy since Cece's wedding. Nick was trying to be a better man and Jess was helping him without even knowing. Nothing changed but there was a different vibe going around the loft. Winston, even though happy for them, deep down thought that something bad was going to happen. Schmidt on the other hand wasn't very supportive and lashed out at them every chance he got. Since the wedding Schmidt tried to choose either Elizabeth or Cece, but he couldn't because he didn't want to hurt neither of their feelings. He was getting more aggressive and cold. His roommates tried to cheer him up but he wasn't listening. Jess was very worried about him so she went to Nick for help.
"Hey, Nick."
"Oh, hey beautiful" Nick said to her while putting his arms on her waist and pulling her closer.
"Easy there tiger, I just wanted you to help me talk to Schmidt" Jess whispered into his ear.
"Are you sure you want to talk to him now? I mean, I have a pretty good idea of what else we can do.."
"I'm sure I know what idea you have in mind but I can't stand to see him like this anymore! For the past couple of months he's been sulking around and getting more and more agitating. We need to talk to him and you know that" Jess said and pulled him to Schmidt's room.
"Okay, okay.. I know he's going through a hard time and I get that"
Nick came up to Schmidt's door and knocked three times on his door. Nick was getting ready to embrace what's behind the door.
Opening slowly came out a dirty, non-shaved man. He gawked at them with the eyes of a soulless man.
"What do you lovers want? Condoms? Sorry, can't help you with that. Might as well go out to the pharmacy Nick, you can use the extra exercise"
"Seriously Schmidt?" said Nick insulted. "We came here to check on how you're doing and we get this?"
"Nick calm down, you know how he can be when he's emotionally depressed – Jess whispered to Nick, giving him a look.
"Yeah I know, but he's sometimes such an ass"
"Hey! Standing right here! - Schmidt waved his hands in front of their faces. "I'm fine, thanks for asking. Can you back off now?"
"Schmidt, I'm – we're worried about you. We just want to help!" Jess said as softly as possible.
"Yeah, man, anything to get you out of your funk."
"I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm fine, guys. Now can you leave me alone?" pleaded Schmidt.
Shrugging, Nick said: "Yeah, sure. Just, if you need someone to talk to, my door is always open."
"I'll keep that in mind." And with that, he left, slamming the door behind him.
