Nick and you have been arguing nonstop for a few weeks. When you guys aren't arguing and at each other's throats, the silence is awkward; like there is an elephant in the room.
Nicholas sits in the living room as you make yourself some coffee. You two can't even look at each other. The relationship didn't used to be like this, at the beginning it was great, you two couldn't keep your hands off each other and always showed affection. Now, that you haven't been like that in a while it feels like the beginning of the relationship was just a dream.
When Nick is about to leave to go film, he kisses you goodbye. What used to be a loving and passionate kiss is now a peck with no feelings around it.
When you get home from work tired you make yourself a tall glass of red wine and drink it, hoping it helps with all these feelings that sworn your brain.
As you sit contemplating what it was like when you and Nick first started dating to now it all hits you at once and your eyes become heavy. Thinking about the fact you two would go to sleep at night talking about the future and that you guys would get married and start a family all seems so far away right now. Tears well up in your eyes as you can't help but think that the reason you are fighting is because of you.
Nick arrives home, slamming his keys and phone on the table in frustration. You don't bother to ask how his day went because you don't want to get into another argument.
He sits down on the opposite side of the sectional couch. You fill his eyes on you as he notices your teared stained face and red eyes.
He ask what's wrong. You scoff as you reply.
"Seriously, Nick? We've been arguing all week and you're really gonna ask what's wrong!?" you say.
"Fuck. Y/N, sorry that I was being nice and checking on my girlfriend!" he says getting loud.
"I don't wanna argue. Not tonight." you say setting your wine glass down, as you walk over to your bedroom.
"Y/N! Talk to me!" Nick says following after you.
"I can't stand us arguing anymore!" you say.
"Well what do you want me to do!?" Nick ask.
"I don't know! I just want to stop." you reply.
You two continue to argue, Nick started to raise his voice and becoming overwhelmed with anger.
"Dammit! I'm exhausted, what the hell is this all for!?" Nick says.
You sit in silence. Nick and you thinking if your relationship will mend or it will break. Nick thinks throwing in the towel will take some effort so he wants to fix this if it's even possible at this point. Your relationship has fallen so deep in a hole you don't think it can be saved.
"What do you want to do?" Nick ask.
"I can't keep doing this Nick. I can't keep crying myself to sleep at night. I can't keep waking up with you as we go our separate ways and don't speak." you say.
"Do you wanna break up?" Nick ask.
That question shocked you. Not knowing if that's what you two needed or not.
"I don't know. Maybe not a break up but just a break. Some time to figure this out. All I know is this right now ain't working." you say.
"Fine. I'm gone." Nick says as he walks out of the bedroom, going to the kitchen as he grabs his phone and keys. He leaves, not looking back as you begin to cry, wondering how it all went downhill.
