Chapter 2:
"I never know what to do in these situations." Schmidt said quietly from the kitchen, Jess had gone to her room to cry some more so he knew he was safe to talk to the guys. He walked from the kitchen and sat on the couch awkwardly next to Winston.
"There's nothing you can do man, girls have there own way of thinking" Winston was quick to offer useless advice, as usual and Nick just stared at him.
"Arghh!" Nick put his head in his hands and rubbed his eyes with his palms, "I hate seeing her like this, she doesn't deserve any bad things."
"Oh come on Nick, now is not the time." Schmidt quickly returned to his usual self as soon as he had a plan in mind, "We all know you have a crush on Jess, it's not exactly a secret."
"What? I-I, uh.. um." Nick didn't want to admit it but he was right. "Whatever Schmidt, I've got work to do." Nick walked out of the apartment picking up his keys and slamming the door as he went.
"Well you touched a nerve there ma' brother." Winston was trying to make light of the situation.
Schmidt completely ignored his comment and thought carefully about his next move, "Winston, I have been sleeping with Cece, shh. No time for interruptions. I know, shocking. The Schmidtmeister has done it again. Anyway, I feel bad, guilty so to put things right I am going to sleep with Jess, make Cecelia jealous, even things out ya know... ?"
"Oh god, no. Oh... no, no, no. I have, um.. a thing, that nee-, that I need to do." Winston was horrified and ran out the room to the comfort of his bed.
Schmidt cracked his knuckles, stood up, straightened himself, walked over to Jess's room and knocked three times. She answered and was just about to tell him she didn't want to talk when he put a finger to her mouth and whispered in her ear, "I'll take care of all your troubles," He hesitated, "Beautiful."
