The Runaway Wife

Annie P.O.V

I take small steps towards the clear door. I wipe my hands on my jeans to stop the sweat and reach out and open the door.

My steps get slower as I walk towards his table and take a seat.

I clear my throat "Hi, Jesse."

He looks up and his jaw drops.

"Uh-an-annie, you-your here, I-I- thought."

I put my hand on his to stop his rumbling "It's ok now Jesse."

"I'm so so sorry Annie" I feel wetness go down my face as I stand up to give him a hug.

"Jesse" I manage to breath out while shaking my head.

"Im so sorry Annie."

"It's ok Jesse I'm here now."

I feel him nod.

He grabs my shoulders "Now, tell me everything."

I laugh while cleaning the tears from my eyes.

I sit down with him and tell him everything while hearing the sound of my phone die down.

Nick P.O.V

Where the hell is this girl!

I have been calling her for 3 hours and sending her messages

I hear the front door open "Annie!"

I speed walk out of the living room towards the front door "Annie!"

"Yes!" I see her putting her things down on the table as I grab her waist from behind and put her in a hug

"Annie! Where have you been I have been trying to contact you!"

"I'm sorry ni- I can't breath" She barley breaths out while pushing me back.

I let her go "Oh sorry love, now where were you!"

"I went to see my brother"

I just stare at her with my eyes wide open "Je-Jesse?"

She nods.

"How is he?"

She takes a deep breath in "He's fine now, I guess."

"That's good right?"

"Yeah it's great" She gives me a tight lipped smile.

She walks past me to the living room "Now where's my little boy"

"Mommy!" Luke runs to Annie as if he hasn't seen her for a year and throws himself to her.

"Where were you mommy you were gone for so long"

"I had some things to do but next time I'll take you with me ok?"

"Yes!"

She laughs while putting him down "Go to bed I'll be there right now I just gotta talk to dad okay?"

"Okay mommy."

He runs up the stairs.

"So Annie" I clear my throat "Have you made a decision yet?"

She stops from opening the refrigerator "Nick-"

"Annie the answer should be a one word not Nick" I walk in front of her.

"I just don't know."

"Annie please"

"I um-"

Annie P.O.V

"I um-"

"He grabs my face."

"Please say yes, what else do I need to do to show you I care about you and you can trust me?"

I stare into those blue icy eyes that once use to sparkle "I'm sorry Nick, I just can't trust you."

His face falls "What- What the hell do you mean Annie!" He lets me go while wiping his face "I brought you and Luke here because I wanted to work out and let Luke have a childhood with both parents Annie."

I reach for his shoulder but he backs away "I'm sorry Nick but-"

"But what Annie? You found someone else?"

I look down as I hear a scoff "Oh, of course it's Andrew. My best friend."

He shakes his head while slowly lowering himself on a chair "Leave." He says barley above a whisper.

I go closer "Nic-"

"Leave!" He harshly spits out while I see tears in his eyes.

"Okay Nick." I silently leave the intoxicating room.
