My Life, My Forever (Sequel)

Chapter 11♡

(Nina's P.O.V)

Getting in the car, I called Olivia. As I started to drive, nerves crept up inside of my stomach. Just watching the evening go by, I heard Liv's voice. "Hey Liv. How are you doing?" She said that she was fine. I tried not to cry. "How are you? It's weird that you're calling me this late. Has something happened?" Turning around the corner, I told her things..

"Me and Simon had a disagreement. He thinks that it's time to tell Axel about what really happened to me.' Liv then comforted me. "Aw Nina. It has been a few years since you went through this. But, I do get where you're coming from.' I told her that I also became guarded again. "I told him that he knew where the door was. I basically pushed him away again. I'm actually suprised that he didn't leave.'

Olivia said that her brother does love me. "You've been together for like two years. You're engaged. And i'm really happy for you both." I thanked her. "Because you're in it together, it's harder. I do understand.' I thanked her. "I'm here for you, Simon and my nephew anytime.' I asked her how Elliot and the kids were. "Elliot is loving his new job. He's coming home tomorrow night. But, I just miss him.' I smiled. "That's natural, but I bet you're loving his new look!' She giggled. "Of course I am!" Telling her that we'd arrange another girls night soon, she reminded me about Pheobe's baby brunch. "Oh yes. I'll see you tomorrow afternoon. We can catch up then.' She wished me luck for therapy. "Thanks." After ending the call, I went inside.

"Hi Nina. It's not like you to come down and see me at this time.' Greg poured me a glass of water. "I know. Sorry.' He said not to worry. "Why are you here?" Taking a deep breath, I remembered what Simon said.

"Why not? He's a teenager Nina.."

"I'm here to talk about my child's biological father.' Greg got his notebook out.  "Everything was fine until he brought it up. Axel loves him so much. He's the only father he's ever known.' Greg agreed. "What was your first instinct when he brought it up?" I now felt sick. "I told him that he knew where the door was. I feel so bad for pushing him away." Greg said it was normal. "You're still protecting your son and it's okay to do that." He asked me how I felt about Seth..

"Take as much time as you need." I tried not to clasp my hands together. It was a bad habit of mine.

"I feel sick when I even think about him. He was like my first proper love. I thought that he was litreally the most amazing guy. He was my world. Nothing else mattered." I let myself cry a little bit. "Then, he took advantage of me. He took away every fibre of my being. I remember just crying about it.."

"I can't talk about this right now.." Olivia and Amanda were sat with me in the cubicle at the hospital. "You don't have to. We can just sit here. In slience."

...

"I felt awful. Violated. Then, I met Simon. He makes me feel speical. Loved. How do I continue to keep letting him in?" Greg said that I've progressed. "You went from not letting him in emotionally to telling him everything. That is good. What I advise you to do is to firstly, apologise. You need to do that. Otherwise, the problem will escalate. Then, I suggest that you sit down and talk through the fear of the realness of what will happen next.' I took a deep breath. "Thanks.'

(Simon's P.O.V)

Me and Axel arrived at the swimming baths. Getting ready, we then got in the water. Axel then started off. "You're good at this buddy." He kept going as I kept up with him. He had something on his mind.. He wouldn't ask me to drop him off at his grandparents for no reason. "Are you coming?" He shouted across the room. "Yep." Racing him, he splashed me. 'Oi!' As we did a few more laps around the pool, he got out. Wrapping the towel around his body, he sat on the side. "Do you love my mom?" I nodded. "Yes I do. A lot.' He then looked at me. "What's going on?"
