I'm sorry about how short this chapter is, its about half as long as the other ones. I'm also sorry that it took me so long and I promise I'll make up for it.

Thanks for reading the last 2 chapters.

Nick woke up with a pounding headache, and was distressed to find, when he later told Lily and Jeff about it, that the electricity had come on for 4 seconds during the night while only Lily was awake, and since Lily, the day before had been switching the lights and other things on and off, everything was on and loud at once.
"Why didn't you wake me up? I wanted to check the news," Nick complained rubbing his forehead with his hand,
"It was out before we could find the channel Nicky boy." Lily replied, with a light smirk,
"We?" Nick replied, knowing the answer already,
"I was awake too, just then, Lily came to wake me up," Jeff said, sheepishly, not looking at Nick,
"Why didn't you guys wake me up?"
"Nicky buns, you were so grouchy yesterday, that we couldn't," replied Jeff, grinning at his own cheesey nickname.
"Whatever," Nick sighed and stood up, "I'm going outside for a bit," this was more to clear his head then to get away from him, but judging by the looks on their faces, as he turned back breifly, this was the right effect.
He pushed open the door and sighed with relief as a wave of cool fresh air rushed over and through him. His headache disapearated right away, and then he started to walk. No paticular direction in mind, nor just mindlessly wandering.
He walked up the driveway and out on to the open road, he gazed breifly at the broken down cars, that had presummably run out of gas and then been dumped, and the occasional clothing items, like one tiny shoe thats pink color contrasted to the dark undergrowth.
Nick sighed and pulled his fingers through his hair and started to run. He was running from, not running to. He was trying to get away from this miserable uninhabited town and to some imaginairy place where his parents were still alive and where Jeff wasn't being a dick and where his aunt wasn't such a annoying bitch.
And then after 10 minutes of running, he realized that no such place exsisted and he would be stuck here forever.
Well, shit.

Once Nick had left the room, Lily turned to Jeff, concern appearent in her eyes,
"Maybe we should've woken him,"
"Yeah," Jeff agreed, giving a non committal shrug of his shoulders to indicate, he hoped, that there was nothing to do about it now.
"Do you think we should go after him,"
"Nah, give him time," he smiled at her and pushed away from the wall and walked down the hall toward his bedroom. He was getting a headache of his own now.
You know that feeling you get, when there is so much inside of you that if you do anything about it, everything would fly out of your mouth and you'd be unable to stop it? Thats what he was feeling. Not even sure what he was feeling, he just knew, whatever it was, there was a lot of it.
Jeff sighed, and sat down on his bed, and sat there for a second, his eyes and brain closed.

Nick stood in the middle of the street, not sure:
A) where he was.
B) How to get back.
or
C) if he even wanted to go back.
A moment later, he decided that he did want to go back, even if it meant being with the three people he least wanted to be with right now. Except maybe Mitt Romney, Hitler and Rebecca Black.
Nick sighed and turned back to walk home, hoping if he didn't pay attention, his sub conscious would kick in and lead him home.
After about 5 minutes, he realized he was going the complete wrong way, and turned to the east and started running.

Thanks for reading, darlings!
