I don't know what he does to make you cry,
but I'll be there to make you smile.
I don't have a fancy car, to get to you I'd walk a thousand miles.
"...Jamie?..".
He could hear her sniffling through the phone.
"...James...what's wrong?...".
"....Nick...".
Her voice sounded so small and dejected. Nick's insides just turned listening to her.
"...What's wrong?...What happened?...Are you ok?...Are you hurt?...Sh...".

"...No...No...I'm ok....d-don't worry...".
"...You don't sound ok, James...".
"...You don't sound ok, James...".
With that, a small sob escaped Jamie's throat.
Nick sighed.
Nick sighed.
"...What has the idiot done this time?...".
Jamie broke out in sniffles again.
Nick could just imagine her sitting there on her bed, indian style, clasping Mr. Snuggles to her chest.
"...d-don't call him that...".
In his mind, Nick counted to ten, his patience wearing thin.
"...It's probably my fault anyway...I shouldn't have...".
"...Taken his crap again?...".
Jamie inhaled sharply at his stinging words.
"...God...Why do you keep doing this to yourself?...Do you know how many guys would be unbelievably happy
to have an amazing girl like you?...He's so not worth this shit, James...".
Jamie held her breath.
Every word hitting her like a ton of bricks, but she knew deep down he was right.
"...I know...".
Rubbing his eyes with his free hand, Nick knew she didn't need a lecture right now.
He'd been lectured so many times in his life, and he hated it.
"...Ok...so...Where are you?...".
Jamie broke out in sniffles again.

"...Ok...so...Where are you?...".
Jamie sniffed, a big one this time.
"...At home...In bed...".
Nick smiled. He walked over to the kitchen, opening the freezer.
"...Chocolate chip, ok?...".
"...Nick...It's 3 a.m...really...I'm fine...You don't...".
A fresh set of tears started pouring out again.
"...James...".
"...I'm...*sniff*...fine...*sniff*...".
"...Chocolate Chip it is!...".
Nick grabbed the ice cream from the freezer and went in search for his car keys.
"...I'll be there in te... Damn it!...".
"...What?!?...Nick, what happened!?!...".
He cursed fluently inside his head.
"...arrrgh....I just forgot my car's in the shop...".
"...It's ok Nick...Really...You don't have to come all the way down here...".
He could hear slight disappointment in her voice.
"...Just leave the back door open...I'll be there soon..".
He was met by a series of sniffles.
"...Thank you, Nick...".
"...At home...In bed...".
Nick smiled. He walked over to the kitchen, opening the freezer.
"...Chocolate chip, ok?...".
"...Nick...It's 3 a.m...really...I'm fine...You don't...".

"...Just leave the back door open...I'll be there soon..".
He was met by a series of sniffles.
"...Thank you, Nick...".
A grin spread across his face as he hung up the phone.
"..James?...".
Armed with a cooler full of Ben and Jerry's, he slowly opened the door to her bedroom.
"...Over here...".
Nick chuckled at the response coming from the big lump under the duvet.
He walked over to the bed, taking his shoes off in the process.
"...Scoot, will ya...".
The lump moved over and Nick plopped down next to it.
He took the ice cream and a spoon out of the cooler and slid it underneath the covers.
When he heard a small giggle his heart jumped.
Slowly, he pulled at the duvet, uncovering Jamie inch by inch.
"...There you are...".
Jamie looked up at him and managed a small smile.
"...Uggh...I must look awful...".
"..James?...".

"...There you are...".
Jamie looked up at him and managed a small smile.
"...Uggh...I must look awful...".
Her hair was tied in a loose ponytail, her green eyes and button nose red from crying.
"...Not possible...".
This time the smile reached her eyes.
They ate their ice cream in silence for a while.
"...So...should I kick his ass?...".
Jamie lowered her head, concentrating on her hands.
She shrugged, her eyes stinging with new hot tears.
"...He sure as hell deserves it...".
Her voice sounded strained.
Nick moved the food on to the nightstand and turned to find Jamie crying again.
"...aww...James...come here...".
He pulled her in for a hug, which she gladly accepted.
Resting her her cheek on Nick's broad shoulder, he wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back gently.
"...He's a tool...what can I say...".
Jamie chuckled, knowing how hard Nick was trying not to bad mouth her boyfriend, failing miserably at it.
He shifted his weight and laid back into the pillows.
Jamie followed his lead and cuddled up against his side, her head resting on his chest.
Her eyelids felt heavy, like lead, pulling them down. Maybe she'd just close them for a sec.
"...Hey Nicky...".
"...Yeah?...".
"...How did you get here anyway?...I didn't hear a car pull up...".
"...I walked...".
"...Not possible...".
This time the smile reached her eyes.
