"Mine's a bit spread out right now. Two of my younger sisters are in college at Yale and UCLA respectfully, the latter just started this year. Then the next sister down from them is finishing high school this year and going to Stamford next year, then my baby brother is at Dalton and about to go into his sophomore year there. So, other than my youngest sister, no one is actually at home right now. But my folks are, and I've always been close to them. I have shit load of extended family all over the the place too. Other than when I was away at Dalton, I can't actually think of a time I was away from family, and that didn't even count because my cousin went to McKinley," Nick said, pulling his lips to the side in thought. It really was the case, but he hadn't really thought about it before.

He nodded as he listened, fiddling at the IV in his forearm when it started to sting a little. "I've only known Mercedes a short time since I've been back in Miami, but she's fantastic. Because Mike is close to all of them, I've just connected by default but I'm more linked to Blaine here than anyone else. He's the one I got in touch with when I knew I would be back in Florida and he suggested Mike as a room mate because he had split with Quinn and was going to live on his own when he came here for med school. It's a lot of random links, but in saying that, maybe it's just inevitable? I never lost touch with Sebastian. I even spent some time in France with him and Jeremy when they were over there. I'm still in touch with just about every Warbler, uh, save for you," he added with a laugh.
