Another Love

Part 4. Forgivness

"There you are, sit down." Nick ordered nicely as he shut the door behind Carla. "Would you know where Peter is?" He asked her.
"I've only just come out of hospital, I don't think I even care where he is at the minute." Carla sassed. Carla sat down on her white sofa while Nick brewed the kettle.
"How are you feeling?" Nick worried. Before Carla answered the flat door opened. Peter entered the flat and looked back and forth between Nick and Carla.
"What's he doing here?!" Peter shouted.
"I'm here helping her after you put her into hospital." Nick said spitefully. Peter looked at Nick and then walked quickly towards Carla.
"I'm so sorry baby, I don't know what got ahead of me. The booze-" Peter started apologising. He bent down a kissed her cheek and hugged her. Before he could finish his sentence, she interrupted him.
"It's okay, you didn't mean to. But Peter, you need to stop drinking. You turn into a different man!" Carla cried.
"I should go." Nick said quietly whilst walking out the door.
"Yeah you should." Peter said stubbornly.
"Oh Nick, thank you so much for everything." Carla turned to face the door and smiled at Nick. "And if you see Steve, tell him I can't see him later about the wedding." Nick looked back at her and nodded. He then shut the door quietly behind him.
Peter sat next to her on the sofa. He wondered to himself why it was Nick that was helping her, but he just kept it to himself. He wanted to forget this whole thing.
