In this chapter, we get to see from Nicholas Garnett point of view, what happened that day when Gabriella left him.

Fuck, she's gone, what the hell was I such a fool to let fucking Serena get in to this. Hell, no, I'm not worth a women like Gabriella. I turn around and walk towards the kitchen, where I see the vase and the white roses that she gave to me. I tear off the card from the vase, put it on the kitchen counter. I look down at the card where I can see the text "I want to be alone with you". Oh, Gabriella. I miss her presence, oh, hell, I turn to the bar stools and kick all of them so every bar stools ends up lying on the floor. Her, her words going through my head, "I'm in love with you", "You're beautiful, Nicholas." Oh, I go to the living room, dropping down to the floor. I can feel something flowing from my eyes, what the hell, what the hell is that? It feels like someone has taken something away from me, and trampled it down like glass. I hear someone coming into the apartment. Gabriella? Please. Come back.

 - "Nicholas !!" it's a voice that sounds like my brothers. "What the hell is going on? "He says, he sits down on his knees towards me.

- "Gabriella is gone" I answer and pulls my hands at the face. Sam grabs my hands.

- "Let me see your hands, you can get infections."  he says. We put ourselves up from the floor and walks towards the couch. I sit down, and Sam next to me. He places his bag between us. He start to put up hospitals gadgets on my coffee table. He takes my hand and clean the wound, it hurts a lot, but it's nothing compare to what I feel about Gabriella leaving me.

- "What happened?" ask Sam and continue cleaning the wounds on my hands.

- "Serena came here, I got panic, I told Gabriella to hide in the bathroom. I have never seen a young woman so scared, so helpless. I didn't know what else I would do"I say, and can't help but to fight my anger. I need to calm myself down.

- "What the hell? Why where Serena here? Do you still have a contract? " Sam says and begins to look at my hands.

- "I don't fucking know, she said she was horny and I told her off. We don't have a fucking contract anymore" I say and put a hand in my face. I'm so frustrated. Why, why can't I hide from my awful past.

- "What the hell, why are you so fucking weak for her then? You should have introduced her to Gabriella instead. Your Idiot " says Sam, leaning back on the sofa when he is done with my hands. Sam has right. What an idiot I am. 

- "Shut up. If Serena found out that I have gone on a few dates with Gabriella during the contract time, then, I'm dead. "I reply. 

- "Nic, there is a lot of things that Serena could do.  You have Gabriella. There are guys who would walk over dead bodies to get what you have. Yes, you've had it tough, I get it, it's the past, but facing it Nic! Make it into something good instead. Who knows where you and Gabriella end up, you might start a family, what the hell live a little. Nic, start dreaming! You heard what dad said, he was so damn glad you met Gabriella, you would now start living a life like anyone else. Gabriella is a good chick. You are a fool if you let her go. "Said Sam, and stands up. 

- "She said she was in love with me" I say. Sam sits down once again. 

- " What did you say? " Sam ask. 

- "She left" I put my hands over my face, I realize how fucking stupid I am. 

- "You love her?" Says Sam and looks at me. 

- "I have never loved anything that much" I respond and look at him. 

- "You are retarded." he says and gets up from the couch. 

Damn, for this. Why should my past go in the way of my future, my future with Gabriella. I never thought a human being would mean that much to me, or especially a girl. I love her. I care for her. Fuck, I'm an idiot.
