Chapter 21

Nikki’s P.O.V

“Hello Nicole,”

Those two words were enough to open my eyes in shock and caused me to stare wide eyed at the man I vowed to forget about.

“David.” I whispered to myself, in shock of the new revelation. David is behind all of this.

He lets out a laugh that used to send tingles up my spine and caused me to smile. Now that laugh made me cringe and caused my spine to stiffen.

“You are behind all of this?” I questioned out loud in anger as I stared daggers into his eyes. The eyes I saw at the hospital, the eyes I used to spot staring at me adoringly, and the eyes that used to make me melt at the glance. He pouted, “Oh was that disappointing news for you?” he said mockingly. He suddenly launched forward so that he was standing in front of me.

I flinched back as he lifted his hand and tilted my chin gently to look at him close—up and properly, “Or did it make you want me more?” he purred as he kissed across my jawline. I jerked my head in the opposite direction, in hopes of creating more space between us.

He growled at my reaction and forcefully pulled my chin to look back at him. This time he didn’t let go of my chin as stared at my face. “You’ve changed Nicole,” he simply said before backing up away from me and leaning against the wall I faced.

“Why are you doing all of this? We haven’t done anything wrong here.” I cried out in exasperation.

He let out a bark of humourless laughter, “haven’t done anything? Oh how precious of you to say. You all have caused all of this, it’s your fault my life is wrecked.” He shouted at me with his eyes crazy and his stance tensed.

“Me? David, what are you talking about? I never did anything to you. I was the perfect girlfriend to you, I cared for you, I gave you space when you needed it, I didn’t get jealous when you talked with other girls, I was there for you and I….” I trailed off attempting to stop the tears threatening to fall, “I never did anything to you David.” I whispered the last part, afraid if my voice were to be raised an octave, it would crack.

His eyes immediately softened at my words, his postured visibly relaxed. He stepped forward, toward me and wiped the tear that fell with his thumb. “I know, you did all those things, you were an amazing girlfriend and if things were different we would still be together, I wouldn’t have cheated on you, I would’ve waited until you were ready and most importantly I would’ve been the one you loved, you would’ve been the one that I loved.” He confessed to me as he stared into my watery eyes.  He crouched in front of me and continued watching me.

His eyes suddenly became cold and hard, all signs of the loving care gone. “But that’s wishful thinking, because things aren’t different, you are still the cause of all this. The cause of my ruins.” He angrily announced in my face. He stepped back from me and started pacing the room, more like stomping though.
