"nick are you actually serious?" chris announces, leaving nick and matt bewildered.

chris stands up, pacing around his room, "you knew about her, that she was out there and you didn't tell me until now?" with teary, glossy eyes, and a shaky voice, chris looks down at the both of them. "are you not going to say anything?", which leaves nick standing up and walking over to him.

nick attempts to put his hand on chris' shoulder, "don't touch me until you tell me what the fuck is going on here!", chris shouts, nick looks down then back up at him.

nick can feel his heart drop, knowing he and matt have hurt chris, he doesn't know what to do. "i'm sorr-",

"no, nick. you're not! i don't believe that you are," nick and matt feel themselves flinch back at chris' breakout of anger, "you BOTH knew how much i loved her before she left, and you've just been keeping her a secret from me? how long have you known about her?"

"one of her youtube videos came up on my recommended about a month ago-" matt starts, then being interrupted by chris again.

"a month?", chris speaks with sadness, his anger now morphing into insecurities, anxiety, fear and a tear rolling down his cheek.

"she went to the met gala,", nick begins, chris sitting back on his bed. nick fidgeting with his fingers and standing in front of him, "that's why i kept talking about it. i wanted you to keep up with it and recognise her yourself, i didn't want to have to be the one to tell you."

chris pinches the bridge of his nose, aggressively wiping away a singular tear on his cheek. feeling overdramatic, chris looks at each of his brothers back and forth. feeling a sense of nostalgia, he quickly stands up, grabbing his hat on the way out of his room. he puts on his nikes and proceeds to make his way out of the house.

matt stands from his position at the end of the bed, running after chris and grabbing his wrist just before he can open the door.

"chris,", matt says softly, "where are you going? you can't drive and it's 11 at night!"

chris yanks his hand out of matt's grip, "a walk.", he says before opening the door. he tries to shut it, but matt catches it, nick coming up behind him and both of them standing at the door together. they watch chris walk down the porch and chris hears several shouts behind him, telling him to "come back" and "you can't go".

but now, he's going to the place that only they know. and he's going to get her back, even if it means giving the world.














 and he's going to get her back, even if it means giving the world
