Finding Myself

Nick Closure

We pulled up to the house I once thought I would be calling home. I stare blankly at the house. It's as if I'm reliving the memories of last night all of it flooding back to my mind. I reach up feeling my cheek still feeling the sting. I look at my bestfriends not even noticing the tears brimming in my eyes.

"I don't know if I can do it guys" I say softly and unsure they grab my hands as Sarah wipes my eyes and lifts my chin "you don't have to do this Brianna" she whispers "but if you want to were here" Piper says running her thumb over my hand. I sigh and sit up straight. I had to be confident and hear him out. If it don't go no where then at least I can get my stuff. I nod "okay I'm ready" we all hop out the car and walk up to Nick's house.

I knock slowly and carefully. It takes a few minutes but he comes and opens it. I don't even recognize the man in front of me. His eyes are puffy his hair a mess but his breath still smells like Achohol. "Nick" I say softly he looks at me then looks behind me "you brought back up" he scoffs

I nod " I didn't know what you might do" he shakes his head "you think I would hurt you on purpose?! Dammit Bri!" He yells I take a step back from him. yelling scared the shit of me. "Have you been drinking again?" He rolls his eyes "wouldn't you like to know" he scoffs

I sigh "Nick you know I love you but I can't be with you like this." He laughs dryly " you don't love me sweetheart. You walked out on me for that stupid ass girlfriend stealer" I stare at him in disbelief. "Are you fucking serious? I walked out on you? You fucking kicked me out Nick! Do you remember last night at all? You fucking slapped me 3 times" I show him my face "you shoved me against the counter" I pulled up my shirt and show him the bruise "you fucking grabbed my wrist so hard that it left a mark" I show him my wrist "I'm fucking glad I left if your gonna act like this. " I scream as the tears threaten to fall.

His face softens and he looks at me in the eyes for the first time "I'm so fucking sorry Bri baby I never meant to hurt you please give me another chance please" he cries pulling me into a hug. I almost give in when I hear foot steps coming down

"Nick baby whose there" I pull out of the hug and look at the beautiful blonde girl I bite my lip about to cry feeling the girls grabbing my hands.

"Not now bitch. I'm dealing with something" he waves her off "Brianna she means nothing to me. You've got to believe me" he says looking at me with pleading eyes.

She walks up behind him I realize that she's wearing one of my night gowns. My eyes grow wide I'm bout to loose my shit "that's not what you been telling me the last 3 months Nicky" my mouth falls open 3 months?! That was half our relationship

"Your pathetic nick. I don't want my shit. I'll just buy new stuff" i say bout to turn around he grabs my wrist pulling me back "you can't just walk away from me bitch" he raises his hand about to slap me both Piper and Sarah jump in front of me Piper grabbing his wrist. "You fucking lay another finger one her and your life will be over with" Sarah says sternly "oh yeah what you gonna do bout it" he scoffs " you don't want to mess with us Nick. I promise you" Piper spats in his face dropping his hand and guiding me back to the car. I hear the door slam shut making me jump. I walk numbly back to the car and get in. I stay quiet.

"You want us to take you back to Noah? We can stay a bit and have a movie night" all I can do is nod and stare out the window.
