Nine years.

Nine years, Stephen Hart had been in Nick's life. He'd stood by Nick through so much and Nick had needed him. Through pain... and joy... and then pain again. Sometimes, he was the cause of the joy and Nick clung to him in those moments. But, he'd also been the cause of some of the pain and Nick had shoved him away then.

What Nick hadn't realized was that Stephen had needed him as much and, without Nick, Stephen had nothing to hold onto and nothing to hold him up.

And he had fallen.

Nick wasn't far behind.
