Falling back

Chapter 1

Ian POV

    We're starting to shoot season eight of 'The Vampire Diaries' and it could be my last season, Nikki, my wife, wants me to leave and focus more on our relationship. It's a tough decision because part of me wants to leave and do other stuff knowing that Nikki is right but the other part is saying stay because I've been on here from the start and leaving just doesn't feel right this is my second family.

    I talked to Julie about it and she said that I need to have a decision in 2 months so that they can plan but I can't just make up my mind in two months I need longer. All the cast knows about it and says whatever I choose they'll support me a hundred percent. It's lunch right now and everyone went out to eat while I stayed back in my break room. 

    Looking over pictures, old script, and finding old notes that everyone had written for me when I announced my engagement. Re-reading them and remembering how everyone was so happy for me, well not everyone. Candice, Kat, Steven, Michael, and Zach's note were as deep as everyones it was just saying 'Congratulations' or 'I'm happy for you'. 

    I knew why they weren't the happiest when I said I was getting married to Nikki because they were the closest to Nina they liked the two of us together and when we split they took her side. 

    Nina, I haven't thought or talked to her in two-ish years we ended things on an okay note but after I started to date Nikki Nina was distant she didn't hang around me much and only said Hi or Hey not her usual up beat self. I know it hurt her but she moved on with Austin given that relationship didn't last very long. 

    I continue to look at the other stuff in my room when I'm interrupted by a knock on my door, "Come in" I start to put stuff back. 

    "Hey brother" Paul comes in "What's going on in here?" he looks around the room and sees everything I've been looking through and picks up a pile of pictures that I haven't looked through. 

    "Well I was just looking through some stuff." He nods and starts flipping through the pictures. "Have you thought about what you're going to do?" I look up at him and run my hands through my hair.

    "No, it's a tough decision I don't know what I'm suppose to do parts of me wants to leave the other part is telling me to stay. Given the part that is telling me to leave is Nikki, she says that I'm always working and not focusing on us. Why does this have to be so hard? If you were in my position what would you do?" I stare at hime waiting for an answer.

    He's silent for a moment the says "If I'm gonna be completely honest I would just listen to what you want not what Nikki wants, sure you work a lot but this is your job if you feel like she is right then leave but I think that Nikki just wants you to leave because she can't stand being alone." he makes a face after saying that. 

    Paul wasn't the biggest fan of Nikki, he's always tried to avoid her because whenever they were near each other she wasn't the nicest person the him. 

    There's a moment of silent before the door opens and Nikki walks in she gives me a innocent smile before seeing Paul he's already getting up and leaving.

    Nikki looks at me and ask "Why was Paul in here?" I look at her for a moment and notice that she said his name like his name was poison, what was the matter with her? "Oh he was just coming in and we we're just chatting."

    "Oh okay, well I just came in here to ask you if you've thought about what your choice was?" She tilts her head a little. 

    "Well I'm thinking it's just hard." She nods as if she understand but I doubt she does. "Well when you know tell me, but I should know what you are going to chose, right?"

    "Nikki I told you I need time." I look down at my watch and realize that I need to go back to shoot more scenes. "I have to go back to work see you in three hours or maybe less ok" I give her a quick kiss and leave.

    After two and a half hours of shooting it was time to leave, Nikki waited for me and we left together. The rest of the night wasn't that eventful we just cleaned up, ate, and got ready for bed.

   The next morning I get up at 9:30 without waking up Nikki I get ready for work and leave, on my way to the studio I get a next from Julie telling me to go to the conference room for a quick meeting. I get there quick and see that everyone is already sitting around and talking I take a seat between Paul and Matt we talk for a bit until Julie comes in.

    "Good morning everyone! So since this might be our last season I wanted to bring back some old character and I'm so excited to welcome back..."
