Regret

Did i do the right thing?

Okay, so I'm not sure I like this chapter but please let me know if you would like me to carry on with this story or not.

I woke up checked the time on my phone then looked over at Nick he looked so peaceful when he was sleeping, last night when i got home I knew I had to talk to Nick after Roberts threat but I just couldn't do it, I couldn't break his heart.

As I ran my hand softly over Nicks bare chest his eyes fluttered open and he pulled me closer and held me in his arms, "morning" he mumbles in his sleepy voice, I felt safe with Nick, I was content.

I went over to answer the door, it was Michelle, she was probably here checking up on me "to what do I owe the honour?" I looked up at Nick as I was packing things in my bag for work, he's been trying to talk me out of going in to work until the gossip died down but I wasn't sure it would, I had to face everybody sooner or later, maybe it was best to get it over and done with. Although it seemed Michelle had the same idea "there'll be whispering and finger pointing however long I wait, won't there?"

I wasn't sure I'd done the right thing, I mean Aiden and Kate needed to know but was now really the right time? I'd already had my world turned upside down now I'd done them same to them. "Why don't you let me make you some breakfast at the bistro?" I wasn't sure what good that was going to do, I mean I had to face everybody eventually, I needed to do this for myself.

I walked into work, i knew they were all gossiping because when I got there they went quiet I had to put things straight to stop the rumours. "Alright, listen up. Here's the truth as appose to the rumours that are flying around" just as I said this Kate and Aiden walked out of the office, I wasn't even sure they would turn up after yesterday.

"Yes, Johnny is my dad. No I didn't know until a few days ago, neither did Aiden or Kate." None of them looked shocked of course they knew nothing stayed a secret round here very long. "You won't be seeing him in here ever again, any questions? No? Good."

I turned back round and walked in to the office followed by Kate and Aiden, I couldn't help feeling guilty, Kate told me it wasn't my fault but I couldn't help thinking I was partly to blame, they didn't deserve any of this.

Soon after Johnny turned up at the factory, I knew things weren't going to go well and I was right as soon as Aiden saw him things kicked off, "this is isn't the time or place"  but Johnny wasn't having any of it he still carried on trying to worm his way back in, before I realised what was happening Aiden had punched Johnny and told him to get out, "Aiden that's enough!"

Nick came to meet me from work, he never took his hand away from my waist the whole time we walked down the street, it was like he was trying to protect me and keep close to him. But I am strong I can handle this, that's when we saw Johnny he had his bags in his hand I presume Kate had kicked him out. "Looks like someone got the message" Nick said as he saw Johnny and pulled me closer to him, "so much for vowing to put things right between us" Johnny stopped as told us he was going away to give Kate some space although he did make some joke about how he's sorry he was only going about a ten minute drive away, I presume he's only stopping around because of his share in the factory. Although he says that's not the case, he said he was gonna put things right even if it takes until the day he dies, I don't believe that this can ever be put right "I don't think you've got a hope in hells chance of putting this right" he gave me one last look, brushed his shoulder on mine then walked off. I saw Nick looking at me, checking to see that I was okay and I was, I wasn't going to let what Johnny has done beat me.
