ANOTHER RAINY DAY | 06
Itâs been two days since Nick got arrested and he basically lost Katrina. And from what heâs heard from the guards that itâs also been raining for two days already. The heavens were clearly mourning for his lost as well and even on the day he got released, there was no sunshine to light up his life. Thankfully, with the help for Rob Hudson, Nick was allowed to go home. Who know the current bar owner was almost a lawyer 20 years ago? He didnât know who to call so he just rang up the bar in hopes that someone he knew would come for him. Once Nick got out, Rob brought him to the hospital to properly bandage all his bruises as the officers only gave him small band aids. Another thing that was taken from him was his license and his motorbike. The school has agreed to confiscate it and Nick wouldnât be allowed to get his license back unless he attends a three month seminar about drunk driving. He figured that was fair enough and at least, he was not kicked out of the university.Â
After getting little rest at the hospital, Nick told Rob that he needed to go back to his dorm. Christian has a full schedule that morning so he has time to pack his stuff, remembering how Katrina said sheâd have to tell Christian. Itâs been two days. Who knows what couldâve happened outside his cell? When he got to the dorm, he saw his bags outside only which he assumed Christianâs way of kicking him out. As he got closer, he saw that his clothes were there but his laptop and other stuff were either broken or ripped apart. Getting his things, he just decided to leave, getting looks from people in the hallway. He could only tell theyâve heard about his betrayal or his arrest. Going to the study hall, Nick got the same looks from people, even hearing some whispers about getting arrested or sleeping with his best friendâs girlfriend. It was all too much for him to take and really, he couldnât feel like he had anywhere else to go. So, he just went to Robâs apartment and asked if he could crash in for at least two night, which he was allowed to. Nick didnât go to any of his classes â again â that day and just rested before he has to meet with a new RA heâs been given.
It was almost 8 in the evening, dark and the rain was heavy. Wearing a school hoodie and jeans, Nick also brought an umbrella as heâd be walking around a lot that night. Heâs thought about meeting Katrina all days but remembering what she said and how she looked at him, Nick decided against it. Walking inside the very familiar building, he met up with the RA and he was advised to wait a while. Sitting down the lobby, he now remembered this place when a girl came up to him. âIâm assuming youâre not here for me.â She said and Nick turned to the familiar voice before smiling. âAhh, I knew Iâve been to this place. Whatâs up, Rachel?â He asked, getting up to greet the girl with a hug. âYou tell me, rockstar. Youâve been the talk of the entire campus for two days, you were missing and now you have bandages all over you. What are you doing here?â She asked, Nick turning to the RA who was still busy trying to make room arrangements. âYeah, Iâm trying to find a new place to stay and I was directed here.â Rachel nodded, getting an idea. âHey, you should room in with me. My roommate just left two days ago so thereâs a vacant spot in the dorm. I mean, if thatâs okay with you?â She asked and Nickâs face lit up a little for the first time in a while. Guess itâs best to room with someone he knew. âYeah, sure. Thatâd be awesome. I mean, if thatâs cool with you.â He asked, wondering if sheâd be fine rooming with a guy. Rachel rolled her eyes at him and shook her head before giggling. âOf course. Come on. Letâs get you your room.â She said, assisting Nick to inform the RA about the arrangement theyâve made. Once it was settled, Rachel invited him up to the room to chat and all but Nick wasnât really feeling sharing so much tonight. Instead, he said heâll drop by in the morning as heâs headed back to Hudsonâs for some drinks. Walking out, he noticed it wasnât raining as much anymore so he didnât use his umbrella anymore.
