More tears sprung into Nick’s eyes and he shook his head. “Can- can we go talk in your car?”
-
Clay nodded and stood to his feet, brushing off the back of his jeans. He extended his hands to Nick and George, helping them both to their feet before heading to his car.
-
Nick climbed into the backseat, his hands still shaking. George hopped into the passenger seat, looking back at Nick. “You- you guys were right.”
-
“I- I just wish I could’ve done something more,” Clay muttered, sighing. “You didn’t need this, especially with- with what you told me earlier,” he said, exhaling softly.
-
“With what?” George asked, furrowing his brows slightly. “My parents are getting divorced,” Nick whispered, hunching forward slightly and gripping his hands in his hair. “She- f---, I’m so stupid- she only wanted to be with me to f--- me. And to be more popular-“
-
Clay turned in his seat, facing Nick as best he could. “It’s not your fault, Nick, okay? You’re not an idiot, I promise-“
-
“No, but how couldn’t it be?” Nick mumbled, letting out a sob. “I was so blind- it was so obvious. Even the f---ing waiter could see it and I couldn’t-“
-
“Nick, it could’ve happened to anyone- It happened to me,” Clay spoke, exhaling softly.
-
“I know- I just- never thought it would happen to me,” Nick said weakly. “I thought she just- really like me.”
-
“I know,” Clay said, nodding. He exhaled, resting his hand on Nick’s knee. “It’s not your fault, I promise.”
-
Nick inhaled shakily, leaning back against the seat. “Yeah. Can- can you drive me home? I don’t trust myself behind the wheel.”
-
“Yeah, of course,” Clay said with a quiet chuckle, nodding. He took another deep breath before buckling up, starting the car.
-
“Are you okay to drive?” George asked Clay softly, moving a hand to his boyfriends shoulder.
-
“Yeah, I’m okay,” Clay replied, looking over at George. “I’ll pull over if I need to, okay? Don’t worry,” he added with a small smile, turning his attention back to the road as he waited for everyone to be ready before heading off to Nick’s house.
-
“Okay,” George said with a nod. “Can-“ Nick spoke up from the backseat. “Can I actually come home with you guys? I don’t trust myself at all, I think. Especially to be at home.”
