Nikki's pov

" really asshole " Donna slams down a magazine in front of me with mine and Sophia's picture on it leaving the station. I sigh knowing what's coming.

" So you have an argument with me and leave and somehow managed to find your ex and end up getting arrested is that what you're telling me " She stands with her hands on her hips.

" ugh yes....but I swear nothing happened and i've a really good explanation " I look up at her.

" You know what Nikki I don't want to hear it i'm sick and tired of listening to these lame excuses you give , am I not enough for you is that it !? " I stay quiet. I hear her laugh.

" I guess this is my fault, I shouldn't have listened to Pam when she told me to see where this goes because you knew and I know that this " she gestures between the two of us.

" Was just a way to pass the time " she says the last part sadly. I feel so guilty I never wanted to make her feel this way.

" Donna " I say but she cuts me off.

" No! you know i'm right so just fucking save it " she huffs wiping a tear that's fallen from her face.

" I hope she knows how lucky she is to have all your attention even after all this time....and I hope that you don't fuck it up , because you only have one more shot " I stare at her through glossy eyes.

" Donna i'm so sorry " I shake my head standing up to give her a hug but she steps back.

" Yeah me too " She grabs her purse from the counter and without another word she leaves.

I run my hands over my face. I feel like the biggest asshole in the world. I really liked Donna and i'm sorry I hurt her. But what she said was true. I did this because I wanted to take my mind of Sophia. It was fine 10 years ago to use woman for my own benefit but i'm 32 now and a father it's just not the same. I guess one thing i've learned is to respect other people's feelings , whether I do it or not is my own problem.

Sophia's pov

" He still loves you " Emi says bluntly from across her kitchen.

" No he doesn't!  I hope that if any man saw a woman being molested they'd beat the crap out of him " I give a sarcastic smile trying to avoiding having this conversation with her.

" Yes but of all people to come to your rescue it was Nikki aka your friendly neighbour spider-man " she laughs at her own joke.

" Like Tommy said they were looking for strip joints and it was purely coincidental " She gives me the are you serious look as she goes back to cooking over the stove.

" So what became of that guy anyways I hope the mother fucker is locked up "

" He is, I had to identify him yesterday and it turns out his name is actually Jake not Christian " I play with the ring on my finger.

" Hey Em... did I ever tell you what Nikki said to me that night I left " she shakes her head.

" He said and I quote to think I was gonna marry you.... did you know anything about that " I watch as her face falls.

" Yeah....Mick mentioned it but I didn't think you knew that's why I never said anything "

Right.

I got home a couple of hours later. I look around my messy apartment, i've been too depressed to clean it up. I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling my mind only concentrating on one thing. Him.

Like it's been ever since we called it quits. The many many sleepless nights without him to hold. Worrying about if he's okay but being too stubborn to call.

Ever since I started dating Nikki everyone would praise me that he's doing so well because of me and that i'm such a good influence on him blah blah blah. But in reality i needed him just as much as he needed me. I suffer from really bad anxiety and he helped keep that at bay whether he knew it or not. He was always so fun to be around and I could listen to him speak for days. He's one of the most intelligent people i've ever met and I have so much respect for him.

I miss him dearly.

Ever since that night not a moment passes where I didn't wish I had done things differently. I should've told Nikki what Brandi was up to he had a right to know. Nikki i'm so sorry.

Nikki's pov

I am woken up to the sounds of pounding on my front door. I must have fallen asleep on the couch, I glance at the clock and it reads 10pm. I walk over to the door opening it to see Mick, Tommy and an angry looking Vince.

" Dude what the fuck we've been calling you for like an hour " Vince strides passed me into my home the guys just following him.

" Sorry man I fell asleep what's all this about " I stand opposite my three band mates curious as to why they've shown up unannounced.

" That asshole Stradlin hit my fucking pregnant wife and he's a dead man " Vince shouts balling his fists.

" Wait? Izzy? " this is not what I was expecting.

" Yeah and when I see that motherfucker i'm gonna kill him" I glance at Tommy and Mick who just stare off into the distance.

" So does this include all of us ? " I question.

" Well obviously dummy, I need a drink " Vince sighs in frustration making his way to my kitchen to help himself.

" What are we hit men ? " Mick mutters sitting down.

" he fucking walked into my house pulling me out of the bed , Pam thought we were being burgled "

" look I know he's being irrational but what if someone done that to Pamela or Emi you guys would do the same " I sit down beside Mick. There was a silence.

" So Pam tells me you and Donna broke up " Tommy says awkwardly.

" Yeah....she didn't exactly take seeing me and Soph in the magazines well " I rub my hands along my legs feeling awkward talking about this with the guys.

" Well if you're in love with someone else probably not a good idea to get in a relationship " Mick says bluntly.

" Yeah Mick couldn't have told me that a year ago buddy " I say sarcastically. He just shrugs.

" So what do I do now ? try get Soph back or just sit back and let nature take its course ? " I stare at the two of them , Vince waltzing back into the room more calm.

" I don't know man i've never been great with the whole advice thing....maybe don't try and force it so much " Tommy says standing up.

" But how do I do that "

" Dude don't be so full on, I saw you at T bones house you have to take a step back " Vince sips his drink.

" That's rich coming from you Mister what the fuck do you think " I mock his voice causing the other two to laugh.

" Okay fair enough but you of all people know that shit doesn't work on Sophia so just be casual when you see her this plan is fool proof " He smiles.

Every plan we come up with is deemed as " fool proof " and we are all deemed fools. But I guess i've to try something.
