Nikki's POV

I sniffled hiding my face behind my hands. The last thing I wanted was for him to see me cry. Over him especially.

"Talk to me." He brushed my hair away. That only caused me to cry harder.

"I-I..." I sobbed. He sat next to me holding me. It made me feel so weak...so safe. I curled against him crying into his chest. He let me. He rubbed my back and let me cry.

>>>>>>>>>>>>SKIP<<<<<<<<<<<

I woke up to movement. I groaned into the pillow. I slowly opened my eyes to similar brown ones. He was trapped under me. I moved over embarrassed.

"Sorry." I mumbled groggily.

"Feel better?" I shrugged turning over hoping sleep would consume me again.

"...should I call Brie? Or...?"

"I'm okay. Just wanna be alone."

"Okay." I felt the bed shift. "I'm gonna grab breakfast. I'll...be back I guess. Hope you feel better." I didn't bother responding.

Seth's POV

I frowned walking out.

"You're up early." I turned around and saw Renee.

"Oh, hey."

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Just grabbing breakfast."

"So are we. I was actually coming to see if you guys wanted to come."

"We?"

"Everyone. Broman, Dean and I. You and Nikki...maybe."

"She's still sleep." She rolled her eyes.

"I can wake a bear during hibernation." She tried to step past but I blocked her. "Uh..."

"Fine. She's...I don't know what's wrong but she said she wanted to be alone. She didn't want me to call Brie either." Her face hardened.

"What'd you do?"

"Me? I didn't do anything. I swear I didn't. She just...it was just weird since yesterday. She was distant. I dunno. Then when we got back here she locked herself in the room."

"Oh. She could be homesick. She did that last year when we traveled." She looked deep in thought. "After breakfast I'll talk to her." I nodded. "But let's go. They've been waiting half and hour."

Brie's POV

Throughout all of breakfast Renee and Seth were acting strange...looking at each other. And I know I'm not the only one who noticed. Dean was shooting daggers at him.

"So...where's Nikki again?" I asked.

"Sick/ Sleep." They spoke at the same time. "Sleep/ Sick." They looked at each other. 

"Uh, she wanted to sleep in..." Seth trailed off.

"Yeah. Cause she was sick...last night."

"Right. She was fine yesterday morning though. Just...strange." I added.

"That's what I thought when he told me. But I saw her." She gave a short shrug. Seth stared down at his food. Something is going on. Dean stood abruptly and walked out.

...

Renee apologised before leaving after him.

"Wanna try again?" Roman asked from beside me. He was talking to Seth.

"Try what?"

"Answering her question. We know she isn't sick." 

"..."

"Did you-"

"I did not doing anything to Nicole. Do I look like the kinda guy?" He looked between us. I could see he didn't but I didn't say anything. "She doesn't want me to say anything. Heck, I don't know majority of the situation."

"She cried?" I asked.

"How....maybe."

"I had a sad feeling wash over me. It's like twin connection. It was so strong. I felt her emotions over my own." The table went silent. I sighed knowing she'd hate me after this. "I know why she was."
