NICK


    I threw Marcus’s phone away then kicked the tires of his car. I was so angry that I didn’t know what to do with myself. “You fucking moron!” I bellowed in anger. Marcus looked like he was going to faint, clutching on his chest as if it hurt. He could die for all I cared.


    It should hurt him like hell, he saw everything I went through when he took her from me and now, just when I was epting that he had her. he went and fucked it up! Nowy another fucking man from somewhere we don’t know was busy giving her the attention he never gave her.


    What the hell was I supposed to do with that? “You called the here for this shit? fix it, fucking fix it now!” I yelled in his face pulling him closer to me with his cor. I was mad, enraged. What pissed me off even more was that <b>the </b>moron just cried.


    He didn’t say a fucking word, he just cried. Bloody shit! wh the hell was I going to do with Marcus. I swear to God above. If he didn’t have a child to take care of, I would have killed him! “Why are we such fuck ups?” we? I the moron just say we?


    Did


    “Speak for yourself, you are the moron in this story. You say everything I did and went through; you were supposed to do better than me, you were supposed to take care of her, <b>never </b>to repeat my mistakes. You!!! fucking failed.” I did too in the past but God damnit, he was supposed to learn from that.


    Do better, keep her heart safe and love her. I was epting <b>that </b>she was never mine to keep but he, was supposed to keep her. I was supposed to just be a bystander, their shadow, keeping them safe from a distance. Watching their beautiful love story and watching my heart be happy.


    He fucking failed. “What is the point of you yelling now? we both fucked up, you the first time and <b>now </b>me. that guy is me when you fucked up.” He shook his head then startedughing like a crazy person. “I bet that guy feels the same way I did back then, I bet he thinks I am a moron like you do. I bed he saw a diamond tossed out and thought God is on his side.”


    He continuedughing as I watched him with nothing but pity. “I bet he feels like the luckiest mother fucker in the world. I felt the <b>same</b>, I don’t me him.” heughed some more then bent down holding on to his knees.


    Then theughter turned into cries. I felt like shit watching him cry painfully like that. I didn’t mean to make him feel worse, but he was losing Olivia and that meant, we might nevery our eyes on her for a very long time. He might even receive divorce papers in the next couple of weeks, who knows.


    I went to him and helped him up. He suddenly threw himself at me hugging me and crying so much. People kept looking at us, am sure they thought we were gay or something. Marcus cried so much that I felt bad for yelling at


    him.


    “Oh, shut up now, crying is not going to help with anything Just wait <b>and </b>see what Ethan says next. Who knows, your letter might change her mind, and she wille back He looked at me now his anger visible.


    “How the fuck am I supposed to hear from Ethan? You broke my fucking phone!” I shrugged. “You are rich, get a new one.” I walked into the hospital leaving him behind looking for his phone. I was hurting too. I wanted to see


    Olivia.


    I knew I was never going to get her back; she was never going to be mine again. I got that but I still wanted to see her, to make sure she was alright, to be able to see my son grow up as well. I didn’t want to be fighting with her over custody because that was going to push us further apart.


    I wanted her back home<b>, </b>back in New Vige where I could just visit them whenever I wanted to. I sighed gett off the elevator. I was <b>in </b>such a <b>bad </b>mood that I found myself in the paediatric ward. The father <b>made </b>me angry,


    maybe the daughter could make me feel a little better.


    I got inside and the nurse was finishing changing her. “Car hold her, do that thing Marcus, her father does when he is here?” the nurse smile batting hershes. Goodness! She was flirting with me, but she was so bad at it that she looked like something was in her eye.


    She told me to sit and take off my shirt. The whole time she was watching me closely. Poor thing. She then ced that rat on my chest then covered us with a small nket. wille back to check on you.” I said nothing.


    She left and I closed my eyes. I was tired. I thought with Sandra dead, the drama will cease. But boy, was I wrong. I felt like it was just starting. “Thank you.” I heard Marcus’s voice. I didn’t open my eyes though. Having the rat on my chest calmed me.


    “We mi


    might as well raise this rat of yours because it looks like it’s mother is noting back. We might as well get used to it. I will ask mother to teach us a few things about talding care of a baby.” I heard him chuckle.


    “What?”


    “You sound like a true dad.” I clicked my tongue in annoyance. “Just because you lot hid my son from me, doesn’t mean I am <b>not </b>a true dad. You all just deprived me of the opportunity to be one.” I heard his footsteps getting closer.


    “I am sorry about that. Olivia was just worried you will never leave her alone. That you will keep bothering her because of Samuel…wait! Did you just call my daughter a ra?” I chuckled, I was wondering when he was going to pick up on that. “Nick, you moron…”


    “Shhhh you will wake the baby.” I said with a finger on my mouth shutting him up and still with my eyes <b>closed</b><b>. </b>
