Sebastian woke up and groaned. He looked around to see he was in some random house. He must've gone home with some one last night. He got up and quickly dressed, before leaving. He called a cab and went back to Scandals to get his car. Once he had his car back he drove to Dalton and went to his room, hoping beyond anything that Jeff had spent the night in Nick's room and didn't know he'd gone out. He really couldn't handle mother Jeff this morning. He opened the door room door and flopped on his bed, thankful that it was Saturday. The bathroom door opened and closed and Sebastian groaned. "Seb! Where have you been!" Jeff said standing there fuming with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Jeff get dressed." Sebastian groaned. Jeff scoffed and turned to his dresser. "I waited for you for four hours! We were supposed to watch Harry Potter together with Nick and his new room mate, who in the end didn't show up either, but! That is beside the point." He was ranting all this as he got dressed. Jeff had no problem getting dressed with other guys in the room. They all had the same junk right? He pulled his shirt over his head and turned to Sebastian. "You told me you weren't going clubbing and then you did. And you didn't let me know."
"I'm sorry." Sebastian sighed. "Really I am. I didn't mean to upset you. I honestly just wasn't thinking about because clubbing is what I always did on Saturday." he shrugged.
"Exactly. You've gotta stop doing this Seb! I mean think about your family! What would they think?" Jeff said, frowning. "Your sister. And brother. What about them?"
Sebastian hung his head. "Your right. I know. I've got to stop. It's just so...hard."
Jeff sat on the bed next to him and hugged him. "I know. I'll help okay? And I know Nicky will too."
Sebastian chuckled. "Are you ever going to tell Nick about your crush on him?"
Jeff blushed. "I...I don't know. I just...I don't think Nicky sees me as anything more than a friend you know, and his family is going through a tough time right now."
"His parents are still fighting?" Sebastian asked sadly.
Jeff nodded. "His dad's moving out and he wants Nick to come with him, but his mom wants him to stay. They're asking him to choose."
"That's horrible." Sebastian said. There was a knock at the dorm room door. Jeff opened it up and a tear-stained Nick was standing there. Sebastian and Jeff immediately hugged the smaller boy, engulfing him between them. He cried into Jeff's chest.
"They're getting a divorce." he choked out.
"Oh Nicky, I'm so sorry." Jeff said. "Is there anything we can do?"
"Can I come stay with you for a while Jeff?" Nick sniffled. "I know there's not a lot of room with all your siblings, but..."
"It's fine Nicky of course you can stay. My mom already told you. You and Seb are welcome anytime. I was heading home tonight and your both coming with me." Jeff said.
"Jeff..." Sebastian started.
"I'm not asking." Jeff said, giving him a knowing look. Sebastian sighed and nodded. They hugged Nick for a minute longer, before they separated. "So let's get packing okay?" Jeff said, wiping the tears from Nick's cheeks. Nick nodded and ran back across the hall to his room.
"You are so whipped." Sebastian said, shaking his head, "And the funniest part is your not even together."
Jeff threw a rolled up sock at him. "Shut up Smythe."
"Make me Sterling." Sebastian said back. Jeff rolled his eyes and started packing his things. Sebastian did the same. They worked in silence after that. A few minutes later Nick came over with his rolling suitcase and his stuffed dragon he got when he was five from his dad. He still slept with it, even now at seventeen, it made it seem like everything would be alright.
"Ready to go?" Jeff asked smiling at him.
Nick nodded, giving Jeff a slight smile in return. Sebastian rolled his eyes at his two oblivious best friends. Some days he just wanted to slap them both upside the head and yell 'Kiss already!' but he restrained himself. He looked at the blonde and brunette and felt his heart grow a bit heavy, he shook his head and grabbed his suitcase. "Let's go you two." They all nodded and headed out the door.
