Tbh slowly walked up the stairs as he was extremely nervous with every step. Behind him was Blaza, just as nervous but putting on a brave face. He was going with Tbh back to his and Joocie's apartment to talk with Joocie and try to talk things out. Tbh had been staying with Blaza for the past 4 days since he knew Joocie would have wanted a lot of space (and because neither of them was made aware he was actually at the hospital.) He wasn't looking forward to this talk, but he desperately wanted to try and fix everything.

"...I told you you needed to tell him sooner," Blaza muttered quietly as Tbh turned to shoot him a look. "I'M JUST SAYING; you should have talked to him about a poly relationship like YEARS ago." Tbh sighed softly and looked ahead as they reached their floor "I-I know I should have talked to him a long time ago but-" " 'But' what, Honest?" Blaza cut in as he looked at him. Tbh stood there for a moment before speaking quietly "...but I was afraid of losing him. T-There have been so many bad things going on that I just kept putting it off to the side...I just ended up digging a deeper grave..."

He looked down as he rubbed his eyes "I don't want to lose him B...a-as a boyfriend or just a friend; I-I-" He let out a quiet sigh as Blaza slowly reached over and took his hand "I-I knew he was to good for me..."

Blaza remained silent for a while before squeezing his hand gently "...let's just...go see him and see if we can talk things out first before we get ahead of ourselves. I believe he'd most like an explanation." Tbh tilted his head up a bit to glance up at him as Blaza gave him a small hopeful, nervous smile as he tugged him along to Tbh's and Joocie's door. He reached over and tried the doorknob first to see if it was unlocked and to his surprise it was. Blaza pushed the door open as he and Tbh stepped inside, Tbh began to notice a few small things were gone.

"W-What-" Tbh began to mutter out as Charlie came out from the bedroom, carrying a suitcase as he locked eyes with both Tbh and Blaza. He instantly narrowed his eyes into a sharp glare as he came over "I personally hope you rot in hell for what you did." He spat out, clearly talking to Tbh.

Tbh looked confused and scared as he looked at Charlie "W-Who are-" Joocie also came out from the bedroom with a backpack on, clutching a few rolled-up papers in his hand that tightened when he saw Tbh and Blaza. "J-Joocie, what's going on?? W-Who is this???" Tbh questioned, gesturing to Charlie as he walked out with the suitcase. Joocie said nothing as he quietly walked over to the two, bearing an emotionless expression as he shoved the papers into Tbh's chest harshly.

The Crabman took them and unrolled them, confused but quickly horrified when he noticed it was the . It just held Tbh's name...

"I hope you have fun with your life, because I won't be a part of it anymore." Joocie quietly stated as he shoved past Tbh and Blaza. Tbh quickly snapped out of it as he quickly turned around "W-Wait-!" Joocie said nothing as he tossed his apartment key into the key bowl by the door, walked out, and slammed the door shut behind him.

Blaza stood there, overcome by the reality of what just happened in front of him as Tbh stood there silently holding the lease in his hands. It wasn't too long after when Tbh started to tear up silently, tears of regret and guilt streaming down his face as he slowly collapsed to his knees. He was crying silently as he stared at the door, lessening his grip on the lease in his hands as he let it fall to the ground.

-What have I done...?-

Laff was cooking dinner in the kitchen as Wictoria was helping Nadwe make his bed when someone knocked at the door. Laff looked up from the stove as he turned it off so nothing would burn; moving away from the kitchen over to the door to open it. Joocie and Charlie were on the other side with Joocie's stuff; the slightly shorter of the two looked like he was crying the entire way here. Laff stared at the two for a bit before nodding softly and inviting Joocie inside as Charlie set down the suitcase by the door.

Joocie was quick to turn around and hug Charlie tightly, silently thanking him for helping him out. Charlie smiled softly and hugged back, returning the thanks before pulling away slowly. He reassured him that Joocie could call or text any time if he ever wanted to just talk before leaving. Laff waited until the exchange was over before he quietly closed and locked the door, Joocie taking off his backpack and zip-up jacket as Laff turned to him. He offered dinner with Joocie quietly replying "I just want to go to bed now..." in response.

Laff understood as he gently took Joocie's hand, leading him down the hallway to Nadwe's room. Both Wictoria and Nadwe were waiting by the door and once it was opened, the two quickly hugged Joocie as tight as they could. The reason Wictoria was helping Nadwe make his bed was that when Nadwe heard Joocie was going to stay with them for a while; he offered up his bed so he didn't have to sleep on the floor or the couch. Wictoria let go after some time and walked out of the room beside Laff as Nadwe pulled Joocie over to his bed, making sure he knew it was okay to take his small bed for now.

Joocie was more than exhausted by this point but smiled softly and thanked Nadwe quietly. Laff smiled softly and motioned to Wictoria that they should finish getting dinner ready, so the two left leaving Nadwe with Joocie as he laid down on the small bed. He quickly closed his eyes as he strangely felt comfortable being in a bed this small, smiling softly. Nadwe smiled softly himself as he knelt beside the bed, taking one of Joocie's arms and laying his head on it. He didn't know why he did that, but he just wanted to let Joocie know he wasn't gonna leave him any time soon.

-Once you were lost; and now...-

-You're back home...-
