"Others? Oh who? Alex and Philip? Yeah their here. Alex is probably somewhere up stairs and Phil no clue." Nick told Julia then lead the way to his room. He figured she already took one pair of clothes might as well wear another.

Once inside the room Nick grabbed a pair of sweats and socks then handed them to Julia. "Here you go."
 
 
The others had stayed downstairs.. at least that's what Julia thought considering they hadn't followed them up to his room.. and she accepted the sweats and socks before, slipping into his bathroom in search of an extra toothbrush, keeping the door opened enough for him to hear her movements and pop her head back out, toothbrush in mouth and giving him a very familiar mock bleck face "You still use this brand, bleck."  Then she ducked back in and rinsed out her mouth, finished brushing her teeth and coming out in the clean sweats and carrying the socks  "Remind me to get some minty stuff."
 
It was said casually, her mind not really on the topic at hand and more on trying to process everything and get the socks on.  She managed to get one sock on, hopping toward the bed and barely managed to make it there before landing on it to stick the other sock on.  With that done and rolling up the ends of the sweats enough so they didn't fall past her feet she looked up at him and tilted her head to the side.
 
He looked almost like he expected for her to disappear and... ready for the pain it would bring again.
 
"I'm sorry, Nick." she whispered, hating the fact that she had, by letting herself get caught and -- she stopped that thought, her own gazed troubled but refusing to look away from his  "I'm so sorry I hurt you like that...."
 
She hadn't wanted to die... she definitely had refused to leave... somewhere, but she couldn't remember it clearly, except to come back here... and she wasn't going to leave here without a hell of a fight.
