She just didn't get it did she? Or maybe he didn't get it? Maybe they both couldn't fully grasp the situation. She couldn't grasp the fact that Nick truly did love her, and would do anything to have her back. She didn't get that Nick knew he messed up, and truly was sorry. But on the other hand, Nick couldn't grasp the fact that he broke her. She loved him with all of her heart, and he hurt her. He left her alone, broken, hurt, sad, and with twin daughters. And maybe at first she worried about him, how he was doing, if he was still even alive. Maybe she still does. But Nick didn't see that side of it. Nick only saw his side, his story. But there's more than just one side to everything. Nick didn't see the way he hurt her. Yes, he knew he hurt her, but not to the magnitude of how it actually was.
Drinking. That was the source of all these problems. Not only had it hurt things for him now, but it wasn't the first time. It was because of drinking that he lost Cecilia and Mollie. Well not so much Cecilia, as much Mollie. Cecilia had hated Nick while Mollie was around, but when he started drinking again, Cecilia refused to let him see Mollie. Now drinking was driving a wedge between him and Sarah, Emily, and Emma. But things were different this time. He loved Sarah with all His heart, and he'd be damned if he lost her.
Cheating though. That was something that Nick didn't do. Nick still remained faithful to Sarah, even when the two weren't together. Most of his days were spent in a depressing solitude. Sure now there was Hitame. But he didn't love her. And she pretty much hated him. The only reason that the two talk is because of the marriage law, but if Nick got Sarah back, then he'd petition his match with Hitame so he could be with Sarah.
Nick looked softly into Sarah's eyes. They were full of pain and hurt. Because of him. "Sarah.. I love you. I truly love you. I know that things should have been different that night, but I can't change things. Yes. We should have talked about everything. I shouldn't have left. But now we're here, and we have to talk about it." He said softly. Nick softly took Sarah's hand and held it in between the both of his, like he did when they first started dating. "I love you Sarah. And I really need another chance to prove it to you." Nick said softly.
