A/N: So this takes place after the events of Jolene season 3 episode five. I didn't care for how no one really addressed what Waverly went through. Trigger warning, there are mentions of suicide.
Nicole looked up as Waverly's jeep pulled into view; she grabbed the blanket she brought out as she ran towards her girlfriend.
Wynonna gave her a tight smile as her and Mamma went inside leaving the two women alone.
Nicole's heart broke as she noticed Waverly had been crying she knew she was partially to blame.
Waverly was quiet as Nicole wrapped the blanket around her and led her inside towards the fire Doc had started.
"I'll go make some hot cocoa, "Mama said breaking the silence as she kissed the top of Waverly's head before heading off into the kitchen.
The only light was coming from the fire as Waverly watched the flames.
"Waves?" Wynonna asked gently as she sat in the chair near where her sister was sitting on the floor.
Waverly didn't say anything as she looked towards her seeing nothing but worry on her face.
"What happened baby girl?"
Waverly looked around at all the concerned faces and suddenly like a switch everything came back, from Wynonna calling her half-sister, to Mama calling her meek and weak, Doc saying she's reckless and stupid and lastly Nicole breaking up with her. She began to cry as she threw the blanket down and ran upstairs.
They heard the door slam and heartbreaking sobs.
Nicole was about to follow, when Wynonna grabbed her arm and led her outside into the cold night. "What happened?" Nicole asks her voice full of concern as she leans against the railing.
"I'm not sure, but the look on her face when I walked into the greenhouse, it was nothing good."
"She won't say anything?"
Wynonna signed, "She didn't say a word."
"Is that bitch dead?" Nicole seethed her face twisted in anger as her fists clenched.
"I'm not sure," Wynonna told her as she ran her hands through her hair in frustration.
"Bobo might know," Mama said as she stepped outside, she handed one mug to Wynonna and the other to Nicole.
"We can't trust him," Wynonna tells her as she sets her mug beside her.
"If it helps Waverly we might have to," Nicole tells her.
Wynonna nods as she stands up and heads towards her truck, "come on," she yelled over her shoulder.
Nicole sets her mug down as she follows.
"This asshole better know something," Wynonna snaps as she moves the board aside and looks down into the well. "Hey asshat wake up!"
Bobo looks up as he smiles, "not the sister I was expecting."
"She's not coming ever," Nicole speaks up.
"Ahh the hero," Bobo taunts.
"Jolene, what's her deal?" Wynonna asks as she steps up in front of Nicole shielding her from Bobo's eyes.
"She was always there," he mumbles.
"Yeah we got that part dipshit," Wynonna rolls her eyes. "See he's useless."
"She killed herself didn't she?" Bobo asks his voice broken as he wipes his eyes as tears fall.
"Who Jolene? No why would she?" Wynonna snaps as it suddenly dawns on her why Waverly is so upset. "That bitch," she seethes.
"Oh God Waverly," Nicole cries out as she covers up a sob.
"Is she alive?!" Bobo calls his voice filled with anguish.
"Yes," Wynonna tells him as she puts the board back over the well as they head to the truck. The ride back is silent as both women try and wrap their heads around what Waverly went through.
"We were so awful to her," Nicole tells Wynonna once they arrive back at the homestead.
"Yeah," Wynonna mumbles as she angrily wipes away tears.
"I think I broke up with her, I was so angry at her more than I should have been."
"It was Jolene, that fucking bitch," Wynonna screamed as she slammed her hands on the steering wheel causing the cop to jump.
"Deep down I meant it," Nicole told her as her eyes welled up with more tears.
"And she just brought it to the surface." Wynonna tells her as she rubs her shoulder. Both women exit the car as they head towards the half open door.
"Mama?!" Wynonna calls as closes the door.
"By the fire!"
Nicole and Wynonna sink down into the couch.
"Anything?" Nicole asks as she glances towards the stairs.
"Not a peep," Doc answers as he downs his whiskey.
"What did Bobo have to say?" Mama asks.
Nicole and Wynonna exchange worried glances as Nicole begins to cry again.
"We just need to be here for her," Wynonna answers as she gets up and stretches. "It's late we should get some rest."
Everyone nods as they all stand up. They all nod before heading their separate ways.
Its dark as Nicole makes her way towards Waverly's room, she hears nothing but silence as she opens the door, there's a small sliver of light coming from the lamp on her side. She can barely make out Waverly's tiny form as she closes the door. "Baby?" she asks gently not even sure if she's welcome.
Waverly turns over as she looks up into Nicole's brown eyes, her eyes with tears as her lips began to tremble.
"Oh baby," Nicole whispers as she reaches out to her, she cups her faces as she wipes away the tears.
Waverly throws herself as her as she sobs into her lap.
Nicole continues to hold her knowing their problems are far from over.
