Addie had quicken fallen asleep once again, closely followed by Nick falling against her. Both were exhausted and in pain, both physically and emotionally. No one seemed to realize they had fallen asleep until Cory had gone upstairs to check on them.

"You must have been tired," Cory murmured as he walked over and grabbed a blanket from the floor. He moved to Nick, placing the blanket over him. "Night, bud." He looked up to him, before frowning. Nick had tears stains down his cheeks. "Dude..." He sighed before exiting the room.

He immediately headed back downstairs. Nick was what Ashlie described as emotionally unstable but only when emotional. Nick had broken down like this once before. It wasn't good. Nick had turned ambitious, not being cautious. For the next month after Addie had been hurt, he only focused on her safety, not worrying about his own. It scared everyone that one day he would end up getting himself killed.

"Ashlie," He muttered as he walked around the couch and settled down beside her. "Nick... He's..." Ashlie's face fell. "We can handle this," She told him. "We know what to do now. We just, need to make sure he doesn't get himself hurt."

The two settled down and remained silent. It had taken them a while to learn how to pull Nick out of his state of carelessness.

The silence was broken by the ringing of a bell. Both looked at each other.

They had ten minutes.

"Come on. We need to get everyone," Ashlie murmured. "I'll take the upstairs."

The two immediately stood and rushed off, alerting everyone that they had ten. They all had their usual reactions.

Uni's face hardened.

Sal simply sighed.

Nick's face fell as soon as he woke up.

Tommy had no true response.

Addie squeezed her eyes shut.

Ate adopted the action of flinching at the thought.

All rushed to get ready. They all pulled on any needed clothing, like jackets and shoes. Nick brought Addie downstairs, muttering soft 'sorry's with each movement that made her stifle a cry.

He took his time to get her settled down, grabbing a few bottles of water and any food she might want during the night.

"Love you," Nick muttered as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

"Please be careful," Addie whispered. "Everyone, please be careful," She rose her voice so the others would hear.

"We'll be back," Ashlie said.

And with that, the seven exited the house.
