| �Hey Nick.� �Hi. Who should I make it out to?� �Kellie.� �Beautiful name.� �You going to the club tonight?� �Yeah. I�ll met you there than?� �Yeah, I�ll keep my eyes open for you.� �You gonna save me a dance?� �Only if you save me one.� �You know it.� She bent over the table, taking his pen in her hand and wrote a number down on a sheet of paper in her hand. �If you can�t find me, call me.� Nick could only nodded as his eyes finally connected with hers. Bending over like that gave him a clear view. He smiled at her and waved as she left. �Damn.� �And who the fuck was that?� Brian asked, standing beside Nick. �Kellie.� �Very beautiful.� �Very hot.� �Your screwed Nick,� AJ said, walking by them. Nick�s eyes connected with mine. I glared at him and walked out of the room, followed by Kevin and Howie. �Woah, that wasn�t a nice look.� �Fuck the look Brian, did you see that girl?� �She worth risking Theresa?� �Dude, to hit that up�� Nick trailed off, smirking to himself. I downed the third drink that Howie bought for me. This was a bad night! Nick was down right trying to tap that ass with that fuckin� hoe, and I was standing right there. This was the last fuckin� straw. There was only one other person who knew he cheated on me and I knew he wouldn�t tell anyone else. �Want another one?� �Please D.� I saw him walk in, his eyes scanning the crowd. I tightened up my fist and let it go. �Don�t get in a fit about it,� I kept telling myself. �You know, you keep drinking like that and I know he won�t be living.� I glanced at Brian and rolled my eyes. �You know what he does Brian. You know, why can�t you stop him?� �Because he�s a grown man Theresa. Why not leave him?� I sighed and could feel the tears coming. �Because I love him Brian.� I wiped the few drops that were running down my cheeks. �But, as my promise to you and to myself, if he sleeps with her tonight, I will leave him. No excuses this time.� �I know it�s hard baby girl, but you have to. This time around, it�s a must. He�s hurt you to much.� I nodded my head and saw Nick hit the floor with that chick. �Here you go little sister.� I smiled my thanks at Howie and took a swig. �Be careful on those too girlie.� �Thanks Brian.� I scanned the crowd and smiled. �There�s plenty of hot young ladies, go find yourself one for the night.� �I just might. You gonna be okay?� �Yeah, have AJ and D, all is well.� �Be good than.� He gave me a quick hug and walked out to the floor I laid down in my bed, sleep not claming me. I turned over, running into an empty spot. I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Another night. The door silently opened and closed and I could hear his breathing. He walked into the room, stripping off his clothing the second time that night. I let the tears fall, rolling on my side, keeping my back to him. The smell was there. It lingered on him. The stench of sex and cheap perfume. And I felt the bed shift, felt his arm touching me, pulling me back against his chest. I reached out of his grasp, getting off the bed. But he was far too tired to care. I stormed out of my room and ran to the next one. I pounded on the door and heard the lock turn. �Theresa?� �Brian,� I wiped the tears away and fell into his arms. �Shhh, don�t cry hun.� AJ walked out his room, rubbing his eyes. �What�s wrong?� �Alex, he�� AJ sat down next to me and pulled me on his lap. I laid my head on his shoulder and gave into the unshed tears I had. He rocked me back forth, finally picking me up and carrying me back to his room. �AJ, you seen Resa?� Nick asked, walking into AJ�s room. �Yeah, why man?� �Where is she? Where did she sleep?� I walked out the bedroom and glanced at Nick. �I slept here, why?� �Did you sleep with him?� �And if I did? Wouldn�t be much better than the shit you have pulled on me since day one.� �So, I slept with a couple girls, no big deal. You�re the girl I love.� I rolled my eyes, tired of hearing this shit. �Fuck you Carter. We�re so damn through. I want nothing to do with you anymore. When this tour is done, I�m moving back with Howie. You can have the fuckin� place, I don�t want it anymore.� �Theresa!� �No more Nick. I promised myself, promised a friend, I would not let you hurt me anymore like this! No one knew, no one knew because I loved you to damn much to tell your friends how you kept fuckin� around on me. But you know what, I only hurt myself. So, I take it I loved you more than I loved myself. But no more!� I stormed out of the room and locked myself in mine, changing and getting my stuff together. �Don�t mope around baby girl. You�re better off without him.� I glanced at Alex and shook my head. �Time after time I let him hurt me. And for what, I don�t know.� I turned my head back around to the passing land. �You love him Theresa. That�s a big thing.� �Maybe not big enough. He certainly did not love me back.� �He had his moments of course. I think deep down he loved you. But Nick, he�s had a problem being committed.� I glanced at AJ and smiled. �Maybe so Alex. But time will heal the pain, after all, I have you.� He smiled and nodded his head. �And you can never get rid of me baby girl.� |
