vincent 

I wake up the next morning and notice something strange...

I turn towards the other side of the bed where usually Nina would sleep and slowly open my eyes for a second and shut them again.

wait.

did I just see Nina again? is she sleeping next to me? and then I remember how I left her and ran here. there is no way shes here.

in the last couple of days, I've drunk about 5 bottles of alcohol every day so of course, I'm not in my senses and this house is filled with Nina's memories, I see her in the kitchen while I cook dinner for her and myself, she sits with me on the swings in the evening, watching the sunset, she is everywhere with me. she is within me. this is all I need in my life now. the memories are enough for me. I can't face her anymore, so ill just live with the memories. 

I turn over to the side of my bed and notice the empty alcohol bottle realizing that I'm hallucinating about Nina sleeping next to me again. I turn towards her again and just stare at her. I know she may not be here right now but its almost like she is. her image is still so fresh in my head. even if I don't see her for the next 30 years, her image will still be fresh in my face. 

but then something happens...

my sheets pull away from me as she moves... that's never happened before. i poke her cheeks and they're warm and then I rise up in confusion and she sits up and I back away in confusion at first and she just smiles at me. i rub my eyes again to make sure, I mean yes I'm drunk but this isn't real, there's no way and I slowly look up again and what the heck no way shes still there, I hold her soft hands, and its actually there, other times when ive tried to touch her, it fades away slowly but not this time... I still can't believe it and she's just smiling at me but why isn't she saying anything. 

i slowly get closer to her and now we're facing each other but I have to make sure its actually her, and before I can do anything... she goes in for a kiss. Tears roll down both of our eyes and we both just passionately keep going. I cup her cheeks and she slowly slides her hands on my sides like she always did but this time it wasn't just a kiss, it was love.  it was passionate, aggressive, but felt like time had just frozen for a second and we both are crying. I pull away from her and just look at her for a second and then she slaps me , very hard.

" Ouch what was that for ?" i ask her while rubbing my face. I could feel the heat on my face.

and then she continues to hit me on my face and my shoulders while shes breaking down and crying at the same time.

" Why did you leave me huh... Again and what have you done to yourself? You have consumed so much alcohol, the house is a mess, what is this vincent? this isn't the man I have loved... how could you leave me again.... you could've just asked me everything and i would've told you, why did you leave me again, answer me now!" she says while sobbing and it hurts me more seeing her cry than her light slaps.

" because ..." and i get on my bed not facing her, not because i don't want to but because I can't face her after everything I can't face her.

" because what vincent?" she stands right behind me and rests the side of her face on my back. 

" because- " and she pulls me into a hug making me face her and I look down

" because I doubted you when all you did was love me, after everything you have done for me and i still listened to my mother and betrayed you and didn't even listen to you . I assumed you had cheated on me with Damon and questioned your love for me. I said some very disgusting things about you and broke you apart. I'm the reason behind all your pain and sorrow. I'm the reason you don't believe in love anymore. I'm the reason you have become like that. I'm the one who should be blamed for everything. I hate myself for that and I can never forgive myself for what I did to you but then when i came back and saw Damon and the kids with you I assumed things again and then when I went back to my mother after so many years and asked her that's when she told me that you hadn't done anything, it was all her. I hate my mother for doing this, I don't deserve your love, your kindness, or your compassion, I don't deserve any of this. I'm just a loser who got you and didn't recognize the kindness in you. you should leave me and move on Nina, im not for you" I say while tears roll down my eyes.
