Rearview

Jade/Nick songfic from Nick's POV.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Home and Away characters or the song Rearview by Anastacia from her self titled album.

I used to tell myself
That you would wait
I borrowed time for two
And I twisted fate

Nick sang. He sat looking at photos of him and Jade from last Summer. Before the Dorm, before Angie Russell. When things were fight.

I left us floating in the air
For the wind to hold onto
It let me down
It let you go

If only I could've done something he thought. Maybe if I'd tried a little more it would've been okay. He would never know now.

I drive around like everything's okay
And I feel the lightening
In my own mistakes.
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
But I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you.

He had tried talking to her but Rhys, Kirsty and Dani had made it hard for him to explain straight away. Maybe if they'd been more understanding he might have had more of a chance. Really hecouldn't blame anyone but himself.

Somethings the things you want are hard to take
Sometimes the one you love
Are risks you don't make

That was certainly true. He knew he should have fought for her and he never never should have gone on that stupid reality Tv programme.

The dust had settled into nothingness
And I yearn for yesterday
Just look around
I'm still the same.

'I am the same' Nick said out loud. 'I'm still the same guy that Jade fell for.'
But luck had not been on his side.

I drive around like everything's okay
And I feel the lightening
In my own mistakes.
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
But I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you.

'I need her back. My life's empty. He was right Seb was more concerned with the Kirsty/Kane issue and Kit wouldn't let him wallow in self pity.

So many things that we didn't day
So many reasons the world's not the same
Oh it's not the same.

I can't think straight now I'm alone. I'm falling apart without her. I want to tell her how much I love her but I cant.

I drive around like nothing here has changed
And I feel the sky has one more cloud to break
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you
I drive around and everything has changed
And I feel the lightening
It's in my own mistakes
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you

Jade didn't want her anymore but he needed her more than ever. 'Part of me will always be with you' he whispered.

I used to tell myself that you would wait.
