Can We Learn To Love Again ( Sweeny Todd Fand Fict)

Ch11 Sweeney's POV

I set and wait for what seems like the longest time for Mrs. Lovett to get back. I pace the room just waiting for her. I hope she's ok, that nothing bad happened to her. I take a seat in the both and wait. Just when I'm about to go look for her the door slams open and see Nellie kissing some man who I've never seen before. His hand is all over her. I can't believe she would do this before it goes any further I make my presence known.

"Mr. T what. what are you doing here" Nellie saws? I can tell she's drunk and that she had been crying her makeup is slightly smudged.

"who's this" the man who had his hands a Nellie says coming up behind her.

"he rents the room upstairs" she says and cross her arms obviously mad at me it hurts to be referred to as that when we are so much more.

"I didn't know where you went" I say trying to control my temper

"well I don't have to acer to you so if you will excuse us" she says walking over to the door she holds it open as if I would actually leave her alone with this man.

"now Nell..." I start hoping to calm her down a little. She can be so stubborn at times.

"I think the lady wants you to leave" the random man says. I start to get angry. Who the hell does he think he is all he wants is to continue what he was about to with Nellie.

"well the lady is also drunk off her face and I don't think a seemingly kind stranger is fit to tend to her" I say starting to lose it.

"Sweeney" Mrs. Lovett says she doesn't want me to hurt this guy I can tell. I want to so bad. I take a deep breath to gain some composure.

"no Nellie I will not let you bring some stranger to your bed just to get back at me" I say addressing her

"I'm not getting back at you, I am having an adult relationship with a man I meet and it is none of your concern what I do because you don't give a dam about me anyway" Nellie shouts she's so drunk and with her anger on top of that she inconsolably. It hurts that she doesn't think I care.

"it is my concern and you know I care" I yell back at her. Everything I've been trying to do is to show her I care.

"well if caring is treating me like shit then being kind then I think you need to look up the definition" she replies slamming the door and coming close to me.

"how can you say that after everything that's happened" I counter looking down at her.

"how could I not, I did everything for you been everything for you and you almost killed me. more than one" she says holding back her tears.

"he what" my and Nellie both look over at him relishing he's still there.

"shit Nellie" I reply glaring at her. If he told anyone about this, we could be in big trouble. The dam women can't keep her mouth shut.

"wait a minute" the man says as I step closer to him taking out my friend.

"Sweeney don't you dare" she says in a warning tone I can tell she sell worked up again but I don't have time for this.

"you're the one who can't keep her mouth shut" I spent back at her there's a moment of pause when no one in the room makes a sound.

"sorry love, make it clean Sweeney" she says looking away. The poor man looks so scared but that only puts a small smile on my face as I kill him. I do it quick so there's not a lot of blood. That's what he gets for touching Nellie.

"don't move" I call out as I drag the body down to the bake house. Once there I through him in the oven. Then I head back up to the pie shop.

"it's done" I state when I walk in then I here Nellie start to sob

"I can't go on like this" she says distressed. This is all my fault I dragged her into this life.it brake sky hart to see her like this.

"I'm sorry pet. For everything" I say comforting her she looks up at my then leans closer and kisses me. I'm surprised at first but it doesn't take long before I'm enjoying the kiss.

"why can't I stay away from you" she says after we break apart

"you love me "I state smiling a little. I know she does iv just never know how to deal with it.

"that's the problem" she replies and start to wipe at her tears

"it doesn't have to be. Nellie despite what. What you may think I do care for you maybe even have fillings for you" I confess taking her hand in mine

"you do" she asks and I can see her eyes light up at that. I've always be attracted to her I'm just bad at shooing my fillings.

"yes I just, I feel bad. About Lucy like I'm betraying her" I reply and it's the troth I miss her. But she is the past.

"I know dear but it all in the past" she says and I know she's right. She always seems to understand.

"I know" I say and I just stand there for a minute not knowing what to do with myself.

"well good night Mr. T" she says finishing her cleaning. I hope we can get past this.

"good night" I say and I go back to my shop. Once there I change my closes and sit in my chare. I know I have felling for her, maybe even love her. She seen everything to me since I got back. I wish I had my old life back. But I'm not the same person I once was. I'm much more insane. Lucy was a good woman but we were married because we had to be not because we wanted to be.

"oh Lucy" I say looking at the small picture on my desk. It's the only think I have from my past life. I hold it close as I fall into a fitful sleep in my barber chair.
