Nick: *Walks out of the office, ignores Cody, and walks toward his cubicle*
Cody: *Confused and breaks away from a talk with someone else* Hey, Nick, what happened in there? You looked pretty pissed.
Nick: *Gets to his cubicle* I'm fired.
Cody: Oh, man.
Nick: Yeah.
Cody: How long you got?
Nick: 2.
Cody: Months?
Nick: Weeks.
Cody: Ouch.
Nick: Yeah.
Cody: What you gonna do, man?
Nick: Uh, try not to worry? I don't know.
Cody: I'm sorry.
Nick: Huh, yeah. My ex-wife called this morning.
Nick's POV
So I felt that would be a nice time to share my family problems. Sorry. Excuse me. Ex-family.
End of POV
Cody: You mean, Selena?
Nick: Yeah, no other ex-wife is there, Cody?
Cody: What did she want?
Nick: Christmas reunion.
Cody: *Shifts uneasily* You going?
Nick: Hell to the no, Cody. What were you, born yesterday?
Cody: Dude. Between you and me, you should go for it.
Nick: *Looks at him* Why?
Cody: Look, I know you practically hate them but, *grabs a chair and sits down*, Andrew needs you. He needs a father figure.
Nick: *Sighs and sits down* I just hate seeing Selena's mother, Mandy, her father, ugh, just the entire Gomez family.
Cody: Your son is a Gomez, Nick.
Nick: *Looks at Cody*
Cody: Go, that's what I'd do.
Nick: What about Selena? When I see her?
Cody: What are you talking about, man?
Nick: *Bites lip* Nothing.
Nick's POV
Cody wasn't yet informed of my big crush on my ex-wife that I hid like a diary. I was avoiding family gatherings so I wouldn't have to see her in particular, because it just brought back unneeded memories.
End of Nick's POV
Cody: Just go. When do you have to be there?
Nick: 23rd.
Cody: It's already the 21st. I say, start driving up there tomorrow.
Nick: Up WHERE? They live in the fucking middle of nowhere!
Cody: Dude-
Nick: It's freaking 6 hours from here!
Cody: Dude?-
Nick: There's no reception there either! What the hell am I supposed to tell Ms. Anderson? "Hey, yeah, I know you just fired me but I'm gonna take my vacation days now!" Hell, no, Cody.
Cody: DUDE! Stop it! Just go, forget Ms. Anderson. I'll tell her your job hunting, alright? Just freaking go.
Nick: *Looks at him* If they kill me-
Cody: It's on me, I know.
Nick: *Looks at him for awhile* You owe me.
Cody: We'll see about that.
Nick's POV
And with that, Cody turned and left.
Which brings us to the 23rd, me ringing the doorbell at the Gomez residence in uptown NY, snow plastering the log house that proudly stood. No neighbors. Nothing. No grocery stores for 50 miles, or gas stations.
Were these people nuts?
End of Nick's POV
