I do....





Chapter 11

*Nat*

Two months later.
Well here I am, getting married in three days, I’m supposed to be at my mom’s house tomorrow for all that fun things that you do. ‘Oh your getting married type of things.’ great, just what I want. Anyway, Nick hasn’t changed, since that night where we did it everywhere and all night he’s only cleaned up a bit, by stopping drinking and we talk, but not what you think about talking, just we will sit down at the table and ask how our days were and stuff like that.
Anyway, I’ve decided to leave today, just because me and Nick are like gone, we had our fun for once and now he’s distant. I’ve packed everything that I need except for a few things which I will get later. I took a few bags and went to the back. I left Nick a note and walked out the door, hoping that maybe, just maybe some how this can all be stopped.

*Nick*
I was coming back home, from work, after I bought some food for the week. I cut back on my drinking and now everything was looking better for us. Even if she was getting married in a few days. I walked into the kitchen and looked at the counter and saw a note, ignoring it, thinking it was I’ll be back type of thing. I put everything away and picked up some water and looked at the note.
Nick,
You said that we were going to be different when we started to make up from all of this, you did for awhile, but then it just went away, and then you became distant, so I decided to leave a day earlier, just because of that and you just don’t seem to care. I love you, I still and always will.. I just hope now because I’m forced to do this you are going to maybe become better friends with me. I still want you to come to everything. The wedding, the party, everything. I need you there not only as my friend but you’ve always been a shelter for me no matter what, Nick remember when Don was attacking me? You were there, you were the only one there. That’s why I need you here. I’m going to be at my mothers for a while so if you need anything call me there. I’ll come back later to pick up the rest of my stuff for my life in hell.
Love,
nat.

I looked down at the ground and slowly sank to it, I started to cry. She left me, I had this night planed out for us too.. We were going to go out to eat and talk. Simple but something to do for the last days together. I started to scream out for Nat, and then after awhile about an hour of putting myself in this I went into her room. She had everything packed except for her bed stuff. I went on her bed and slowly cried myself to a light sleep. The next day I woke up and refused to leave her room. She was leaving me, and I couldn’t do anything about it, she was getting married tomorrow and I had no part in it. I couldn’t go because of the pain like now I just can’t leave this bed. We made love here a few months ago and now we were going to be apart.
Someone was at the door and I ignored it. Looking at all of Nat’s things. Then I heard footsteps.
“Whoever it is, steal what you want and go away!” I yelled.
“I’m not trying to steal anything.” the voice said.
