We could have a life, us two.. (Completed)

Never lied

It had been days and all he heard was again her crying.. he had enough off her she was crying day and night.. He couldn't left one tear and he was the one who killed his own wife. All he could do was pacing and drinking. He was sick of it, he had to focus on the judge who just slipped out of his hands.

Nellie was waiting for her death..

"Mom" Toby embraced Nellie, "What did he do mom, please tell me why are you crying? Did Mr Todd do something horrible to you?" The day Toby found Nellie in the bakehouse Nellie was crying hysterical on the floor of the bakehouse "Mom please tell me.." He pleaded scared to see his mom like this.

"Oh Toby it's not him, I-I did something horrible" Nellie cried feeling guilty of lying to Sweeney. Why had she done something like that? Why didn't she tell the truth rightaway? Now it was to late to think likle that.

"Is it the things in the bakehouse mom? I promise I won't tel anything to anyone mom I promise, you can trust me, please don't cry." Toby tried to comfort her the best he could. He didn't know what was going on the only thing he knew was his momwas upset.

"Oh Toby" Nellie held him closer to her chest and continued crying.

They could hear the footsteps banging from above.. Sweeney was finally coming downstairs making Nellie tremble in fear. "Toby go out please." She pushed him gently from her chest not wanting him to witness her dead. "No mom I'm not going anywhere, I won't let him do anything to harm to you" he held her tighter not wanting to let her go.

The door swung open .. he stood there with stone cold eyes his razor in his hand.. "I'ts time" Nellie thought.. and kissed Toby's cheeks "You're a good brave boy and I love you never forget that" was all she could say and started sobbing again.

"Enough for fucks sake, enough!" Sweeney screamed.

"Please let him go, not in front off him" Nellie pleaded looking at Sweeney then to Toby "No mom i'm not going"

"Leave us boy" Sweeney pointed to the door and when Toby didnt move "Leave us" he screamed.

"Please Toby" Nellie pleaded "I'm going mom beceause you want it but I'll be back soon" said the poor boy and kissed Nellie. All she could do was nod with a sad smile.

Sweeney closed the door, he stood there glaring at her they don't know for how long.. but the long silence was torture for Nellie "I'm so sorry" she cried after a while.

"You.. all you deserve is to die" Sweeney finally spoke.

"I never lied, I was only thinking off you Mr. Todd I had no bad intensions, I dindn't say she was dead, she.. she was weak in her head after she took the poison she couldn't remember anyone not even baby Johnanna. She.. she kept running away I cloudn't keep her at home thats how she ended up on the street. I did take care of Johanna beceause she couldn't. I did everything I could for her.. I did.. "

"Why.. why didn't you tell me?" he screamed.

"I was afraid you couldn't bear to see her like that" she cried.

Sweeney came closer "So you thought thinking she died was more bearable. I killed my wife with my own hands you think thats bearable?" he screamed

"I-I'm so sorry just kill me already" and when sweeney came closer with his razor in hand she waited with closed eyes.

After a while when Nellie couldn't feel any move she opened her eyes and thats when she saw that Sweeney was long gone. Mr Todd she uttered his name in confusion.


***

Days had passed Nellie had already exposed Beadle's body in the bakehouse so that the judge wouldn't found any clue if they where going to look there. She was making soup and looked at the ceiling and sighed thinking about him.. iff he only knew.. The more she waited the more it was was getting on her nerves, waiting every second for when he would come down and cut her throat, she was going crazy but didn't stop taking care of him either. She kept carrying meals up the stairs for Sweeney, of course he didn't evet take a bite most of the time all he did was drinking gin.

Sweeney was drinking just to keep te voices in his head shut. "I was thinking of you", "I was afraid you couldnt bear to see her like that" thinking what she said to him that day. He was sick of thinking he threw the bottle acros the wall and thats when she came in she flinched with the shattering noise off the bottle. She had a tray with a bowl soup and some bread in her hands when she putted down she saw he hadnt touched the tray she brought this morning. She brought the tray with warm food down and took the untouched one in her hands. Before opening the door she hesitated "Please eat a little love"

Just when she wanted to step out the door "Like you care" he suddenly replied and came out of his the barber chair, that was te first time after all those days she got an answer from him and he started interacting. She turned aroud and froze when she saw him take quick steps towards her. Coming to a halt right in front of her that was when she smelled hed been drinking again.

"I care" she gulped after a moment "What?"
he barked with narrowing eyes and grabbed her by the throat.

"I-I care about you" was the answers with difficulty beceause of the pressure on her troath. "You deserve to die Mrs Lovett" he hissed "Then why don't you I'm waiting for it" she breathed out as he tightened his grip and came closer they felt each others breath on their faces and looked intensly into each others eyes. After a while he loosened his grip and dropped his arm beside him "Get out" barking in to her face as he pointed to the door ha was mad at himself beceause he couldn't.
