Glee is on a commercial right now so I figured I'd post this, lol. But I promised an update at least once a month and it's still November so here it is :) I like this chapter actually. You get to see all that Jeff can remember from that night. I hope you all enjoy :)


Nick went to every single class that day. He didn't want to but he had made a promise to Jeff and he certainly did not plan on breaking it. Jeff would be there when he got back, he knew that now. The day dragged by agonizing slow. More so than a usual day of classes. Nick could say truthfully that he went to every class. Could he say that he paid attention during all of them? Not so much. Nothing was worse than those last five minutes of class though that when he knew it was over, he'd be going back to his apartment to see Jeff.

Class was finally dismissed and Nick practically bolted out of the room and across campus to get to his apartment. He fumbled with the keys while he tried to unlock the door. He couldn't remember being this excited to go see anyone before. Especially someone he had seen only hours before. Nick got the door open and walked inside. He dropped his keys and bag down on the table and looked up to see the beautiful man with bright blonde standing there, smiling at him. Nick couldn't help but grin back. Jeff's beauty made him smile and go speechless every time he saw him. His hair was always so perfect and his smile was so uplifting.

"You went to every class?" Jeff asked, making sure. Nick came out of his daze, smiled and nodded proudly.

"Yes, I did," Nick told him.

"Good! I'm very proud of you," Jeff said. Nick smiled adoringly at him and picked his keys back up.

"So are you ready to go find your sister and talk to her?" Nick asked, looking at Jeff. He watched Jeff's expression change from happy and cheerful to scared and unsure.

"I…I…" Jeff cleared his throat. "Y-Yeah, I'm ready."

"We can do this another time if you're still not sure…" Nick reminded him, not wanting to pressure him into anything he didn't want to do.

"N-No. I have to do this now. It's now or never," Jeff said, taking a deep breath.

Nick nodded and opened the door. They went downstairs and began to walk to the bus stop.

"Just take the number 8 bus down to Sycamore Street and its two blocks away from that," Jeff told Nick. Nick did as he was instructed and got on the number 8 bus. Jeff followed him on and just kind of walked around while the bus drove. Nick wanted to watch him but to everyone else Nick would just look like some creep, looking around at everyone. But then Nick heard Jeff gasp and his head shot around to see Jeff standing near the back of the bus, seemingly staring at nothing with a shocked expression on his face. Nick didn't know what to do. He wanted to ask what was going on but the bus was crowded and everyone would think Nick is a raging lunatic just talking to thin air.

Thankfully the bus stopped at their stop and Nick ran off, waiting for Jeff to follow. Jeff got off but was still wearing the same expression as before.

"Jeff, what's going on?" Nick asked once the crowd had dispersed. Jeff picked his head up to look at Nick.

"I-I remember…" Jeff muttered out.

"Remember what?" Nick asked, getting slightly worried about the blonde.

"W-Why I was mad. What happened," Jeff explains to Nick.

"W-What was it?" Nick asks timidly. Jeff sighs and looks around. He sees there are people coming and he doesn't want Nick to look strange. So he motions for Nick to follow him to the side of a building so they can talk in peace. Nick follows him until they're out of sight of the crowd.

"M-My family went over to my aunt and uncle's house for dinner. We did that sometimes, once a month or so. A-And I remember that I told my parents and sister that I was going to come out to my aunt, uncle and cousin. My mom was supportive but my dad said it wasn't such a good idea since he knew how his brother could be. But I wanted to do it. I had always been close with them and I figured they'd accept me no matter what. But…They didn't. As we were finishing up dinner I told everyone that I had to tell them something. My dad kind of cleared his throat as a warning, telling me that I shouldn't. But I had already made up my mind. So I told them. I said, "Uncle Teddy, Aunt May, Leslie…I'm gay." And they all just kind of froze. I watched their faces to see what they thought and all three of them shared the same face. It was disgust. My Uncle Teddy started yelling and calling me names. He told my dad that he failed as a father because of this. It was all so painful and tough. My sister started yelling at my uncle to shut up but my mom dragged her out of the room. I was getting so pissed and I was so hurt. So I grabbed my keys from the table. I had driven there separately because I was meeting them there from my friend's house. I got into my car and I just started to drive. I didn't know where I was going and I didn't care. A-And I just remember…crying. I was crying so hard. I grabbed my phone from the cup holder to call someone. I didn't even know who to call so I just held onto my phone. But it slipped out of my hand and fell to the floor on the passenger's side. I looked down at it as it fell. For a second. Just a second. And then I looked up and there was a car coming right at me, in my lane. So I swerved off to the side, into the rail. Beyond the rail there was a woods. I don't remember if I hit a tree or if it was the rail. But I remember hitting something. I-I think when I told you I saw a light it was the head lights from the other car. They were so bright. And then it was just…dark. And then I was in your apartment. And I saw you come out of the bathroom, fresh out of the shower. And that's it. All I remember," Jeff explained to Nick the flashback that he had on the bus.

Nick nodded, trying to process everything that Jeff told him. It was a lot to take in and Nick's sure the whole ordeal is overwhelming for Jeff to have gone through as well.

"Well…at least we know what happened now. But I'm sorry that it had to," Nick says and as soon as the words leave his mouth he wishes he knew what else to say because it just sounded so lame. But Nick doesn't know what to say. Because he knows nothing he says can make any of this any better.

"Let's…go find my sister," Jeff said, walking out from around the building. Nick followed after him quickly, Jeff guiding him to the two blocks it takes to get to his house.

"This is my street," Jeff said as they finally reached it. Nick could see that it pained him to look at all the familiar houses that were there. They walked slowly up the sidewalk, not being in a rush at all. After all, they didn't know what time Megan would be arriving.

They didn't have to wait too long for after ten minutes Nick heard Jeff gasp sharply which caused Nick to look up. He saw a pretty blonde girl walking up the street towards them and he knew it was Megan.

"Jeff, is that her-," Nick turned to ask Jeff but once he turned he saw that Jeff wasn't there. "Jeff?" Nick asked in a loud whisper, looking all around. He didn't see him anywhere and he wasn't getting any response. Should he still talk to Megan? What would he say? He needed to say something, that he knew. So he took a deep breath and walked up to the girl as she approached was Nick could only assume was her home.

"Um, Megan?" Nick asked timidly as Megan reached for the doorknob. She turned her head and looked at Nick.

"Yes?" she asked. "Who are you?"

"I'm, um, I'm a friend of Jeff's," Nick told her honestly. Nick could see sadness in her eyes at the mention of her brother's name but he also saw a smile playing on her lips.

"You seem like his type," Megan said, walking down the few steps of the porch to be on the sidewalk with Nick. Nick blushed lightly and looked down at the sidewalk.

"W-Well, thanks. But it wasn't exactly like that with him…" Nick said, wishing that it could've been. Megan nods and sticks her hands in her pockets.

"So, what brings you here?" Megan asks. Nick doesn't know how to respond. Because initially it was Jeff that brought him there but now he was nowhere to be found.

"Well, I know that you two were really close so I wanted to see how you were doing," Nick said, somewhat telling the truth. He did want her to be okay.

"I'm sorry, what's your name again?" Megan asked, realizing that Nick never did say his name.

"Oh, I'm Nick," Nick introduced himself.

"Nick…" Megan said, thinking his name over. "I don't think Jeff ever mentioned you before. Then again, we barely got to talk about boys because he got all shy about it."

"I didn't really think he would've mentioned me," Nick said sadly but for reasons unknown to Megan.

"Were you at there at the, uh…" Megan started but Nick didn't want to hear the word "funeral" so he cut her off.

"N-No, I wasn't. I didn't know about it until recently…" Nick admitted. Megan frowned and to Nick's surprise pulled him into a hug. He hugged her back carefully, finding the situation a little awkward. She let go and looked up at Nick.

"Well…would you like to go see him now?" Megan asked. Nick was a little stunned. He didn't know if he wanted to visit Jeff's grave or not. That made it all the more real than it already was and Nick didn't want that. But then again, maybe if he went to the grave site, he might see Jeff again. Because it was really weird not having Jeff there. Jeff had been at his side for the last three weeks. And now he was just…gone. It was strange and Nick didn't like it. So if this might fix it, then fine. He would go see Jeff's grave.

"Y-Yeah… Okay," Nick finally said. Megan could sense his nerves and took her hand in his.

"I don't know about you but when I feel sad about it all I feel better when someone holds my hand," Megan explains and begins to lead Nick down the street. Nick smiles gratefully at Megan. She and Jeff were really just alike. Both very sweet and caring.

"Thank you, Megan," Nick said as they walked. Megan smiled at him reassuringly as they walked. Nick noticed she never had a full smile on her face. And that her eyes always looked so sad. It was the same look that Jeff had whenever his sister was mentioned or when he saw her picture. They really were best friends and missed each other terribly. Nick really wished Jeff would come back so that he could tell Megan that he was okay. That he wasn't in any pain and that he misses her just as much. It would be a lot for her to digest but somehow Nick though Megan would be able to feel Jeff's presence. They had that type of bond.

Nick took a deep breath as they walked to see Jeff together. He wasn't sure if he was ready for this or not. But now he didn't really have a choice.
