Die Alone

--Mika's POV--

It has been over a month since Andy had left. I'm over it now. I guess I was kind of prepared for it.

Nick took it the hardest. He felt abandoned by Andy. Andy hasn't seen or talked to Nick or the girls since leaving. I honestly don't know if I want him to.

"Dad, can I talk to you?" Nick asks as he steps into my room.

"Yea. I can't sleep anyways," I tell him.

Nick crawls underneath the covers with me and lays on what was once Andy's pillows. "There is this girl I met. Her name is Shelby. She's Sydney's sister. Do you think it would be okay if I asked her out?"

"Are you asking my permission? Or are you asking if it's okay to ask your friends sister out?" I ask.

"Both, but I don't even know if Sydney and I are friends since the whole Rian thing," he says.

"Well I think you should take the chance and ask her. You never know until you try. Have you asked Sydney?"

"No. Should I?"

"Probably. Just to make sure he's alright with it," I tell him.

"Okay. Can I sleep with you tonight?" Nick asks.

I nod and turn off the lamp.

"Goodnight Nick."

"Goodnight," he yawns.

I couldn't sleep. Well I could, but I just had nightmares whenever I did and wake right back up. I dreamt of Andy and his new lover. I dreamt of him taking the kids from me and rubbing it in my face that I'll die alone, because right now that's how I feel. I feel like I'm going to die alone.
