The Concert (Nick Carter)

chapter 46

2 months later

"Elsa, let me see my son!" Nick yells from outside

"Your drunk!" I yell while tears run down my face

For the past 2 months Nick has been coming home drunk and I'm sick of it

"I live here too! God damn it!" He yells

"Let me in!"

He throws a beer bottle and I flinch

I hold a crying Daniel close to my chest

I close my eyes hoping the crashing of glass well go away

"Elsa this is my house! My son!" He yells

"You should've thought about that 2 months ago!" I yell angrily

He begins to kick the door "I said open this fucking door!"

"Come back tomorrow when your sober" I say as I'm sitting on the cold hard floor of the living room

After 10 minutes the sounds from outside finally stop

I sigh In relief when I see that baby Daniel is asleep

I carefully get up from the floor and carry Daniel to mine and Nick's room

I lay him on Nick's part of the bed

"I'm sorry" I whiper kissing Daniel's cheek

The next morning

I'm awoken by loud knocks coming from the door

I open the door sleepily and see Nick

"What are you doing here?" I ask rubbing my eyes

"I live here. Can I come in?" He asks coming into the house

"I mean your already in so why not" I say closing the door

"Where's Daniel?" He asks

"In Our room" I say walking towards our room

And there he was carefully places between pillows sleeping peacefully

"Can we talk?" He asks

I nod in agreement and we both sit on the bed

"Look I just want to say that I'm sorr-"

"I want a divorce" I say cutting him off

His eyes widend "a divorce? Why?"

I laugh sarcastically at him "what do you mean Why? Nick you've been coming home for 2 months drunk"

He stays quiet

"This isn't the first talk about you apologizing for coming drunk" I say crossing my arms

"A lot of shit is going on with my family"

"We're your family" I say pointing between Daniel and I

"I'm talking about my mom, my sisters, Aaron" he says running a hand through his blonde hair

"Was it worth it?" I ask un crossing my arms

He looks at me confused "about what?"

"Losing us? Losing your family? Losing your marriage?" I say as I wipe my tears away angrily

He grabs my hand "I'm not losing anything" he whispers

I yank my hand away from him "Nick, when I looked at you I saw a man that I loved. And when I look at you now.. I'm disgusted with what I see"

His words seem to hit him and he looks at me hard

"What we have is different"

"What we had was different" I say correcting him

"So you want a divorce" he says hurt

I nod "I think it's best for the both of us"

He bites his lip and he tries not to cry "what about my son? Please don't take him away from me"

I shake my head "I'm not taking Daniel away from you"

He sighs as he gets up and now tears are running down his face and he hugs me

"I love you"

I sigh sadly and I hug him back and before I know it I'm sobbing into his shoulder

"I'm sorry" he tightly holds me

"I'm sorry I ruined us"
