Disastrous Fate-Sweenett.

Chapter 3

Todd was gazing down the streets of London. He was exhausted, trying to think what he should do with his life now.

He could'nt make out his mind. And if he wasn't good to this world anymore, then there would be one thing left to do.

Todd took his razor from his holster where it always is. He tries to cut his throat but before he could, he heard the door open. He immediately placed his razor back.

Although, there was a small cut underneath his chin. It started bleeding a bit. He looked whoever came in, it was Mrs. Lovett.

She was wearing a dark dress today. She looked perfect in it and her hair was as wild as always, still a perfect picture. He then came back to reality.

When he noticed that he was staring at her, he immediately looked at the ground just where his feet were placed.

" I didn't hear you come in " he was the first to talk from the days they avoided each other.

" I'm sorry, Mr. T. I should knock next time." she says looking down at her feet same as Todd.

" What are you doing here? " he asked finally turning to look at her.

Mrs. Lovett looks up at Todd with her arms wrapped. " I just wanted to talk to ya. " she says with her chin up. She really wanted to talk to him.

She missed his beautiful voice. They never talked for DAYS! and to be honest, Todd also missed her talking.

" What about? " Todd asks looking down and back at her. Lovett opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out.

So, she just looked down with her arms unwrapped. Oh how beautiful she was when she does that. Todd had to admit. She was a bloody wonder. His wonder.

He immediately snapped out of his thoughts. Why was he thinking this way? He loved Lucy and only Lucy.

" Why'd you lie to me, Mrs. Lovett? " he asked looking at Mrs. Lovett and standing up. " I had to, Mr. T. " she said looking at him with a sad expression.

She had her hands on her sides. A single tear began to drop. " Why? Why'd you have to? " Nellie avoided eye contact again by looking at the floor.

" I knew you would be inconsulable for knowing that Lucy had lost her mind. She's not herself anymore. Yes, she took the poison. She almost died. But when she woke up, she wasn't the Lucy anyone once knew. "

With this, Sweeney just went to his window, looking down at the busy streets of London with his arm raised and leaning on the wall. His expression was blank. His mind was empty.

" I'm sorry, Mr. Todd. "

she turned to leave but before she did Sweeney said something she couldn't make out.

" I'm sorry. " Sweeney said. Eleanor, who was not sure what he said, just slowly turned to look at him. Her expression confused.

" For what? " what was he sorry about? and she never heard Sweeney apologize to her ever before.

" About Toby. " he said while turning to her. He saw the expression on her face. Confusion. Love. Hurt. He then spotted the cut he made just below her chin a few days ago.

" And about that. " he says pointing the cut with his index finger. Nellie raised her hand to her neck to feel the wound and there it was realizing it wasn't healed yet.

She looks down to where her hand was placed. " Oh that's all right. " she says and removes her hand from her neck. And there was an awkward silence for a few seconds.
