Nick made his way to the couch, slowly sitting down in his usual spot. He let his eyes search the room, as he drank his beer. The taste of a nice cold beer going down his throat calmed him, made him forget all about what his life had become. He had lost the girl of his dreams and his best friend in one day, and he had no clue how to fix it. He knew that Schmidt and Winston were working today, but he also knew that Jess was home. He wanted her to believe him and for her to know he would never cheat on her, but he had no idea how to get her to listen. Then she walked into the room, her eyes sad and her hands shaking. She sat by Nick, her big ocean blue eyes, that seemed dim watched him.
"Hi" Jess whispered "I..I..I'm sorry"
"What?" Nick muttered, his eyes searching hers for what she was thinking.
"I'm sorry that I didn't believe you Nick" Jess cried
"Don't apologize to me Jess" Nick smiled "You reacted normally to what you saw...I would have got mad too"
"Ok" Jess smiled sadly "I just want us to be ok"
"We are" Nick took her hand "We are ok"
"No" Jess pulled her hand away "I believe you..but I can't do this Nick, I want to know that when I leave you won't hate me"
"Leave?" Nick asked "Like move?"
"Nick I can't stay here, we won't work..we are to different" Jess smiled, slowly standing up.
"Jessica" Nick whispered "Don't go."
Jess leaned down, pressing her lips to Nicks. Feeling his stubble on her cheek, and tasting beer on his lips. Seeing fireworks all around them, she was happy for that few seconds, before they pulled apart.
"One last kiss" Jess whispered, as she walked away.
The next day, Jess was at the door her things all down stairs in her car. She smiled, tears filling her big blue eyes as she watched Schmidt, Nick and Winston. Schmidt just standing in front of her, his eyes sad. Nick drinking a beer on the couch, and Winston holding her hand tightly.
"Goodbye" Jess exclaimed, sadly.
"Why?" Schmidt cried "Please stay Jess"
"Schmidt, let her go" Winston smiled, as Jess made her way to the elevator. Winston found himself in the elevator with her, standing in silence until he spoke.
"Jess why?" Winston muttered
"Schmidt and Nick shouldn't be torn apart because of me, I won't let that happen" Jess responded, as the doors opened in front of them, Nick stood there.
"Jess" Nick cried. "Jess I love you, please don't leave me..I need you, I can't be happy without you"
"Nick" Jess smiled, leaving Winston in the elevator. "You will move on."
Jess made her way past Nick, finding it almost impossible to ignore his crying, but she did.
