Hey people!
This is yet another continuation of the episode "Dummy Twins". This idea came to me a few weeks ago but because of my laziness it wasn't until now that I decided to start writing it. I know my stories are kinda suck-ish, but I just wanted to have some fun and practice my English. I finished the second chapter at 4 am and I haven't found a beta reader yet so this may have several grammar errors. If someone could help me improve my grammar I'll really appreciate it. Thanks for reading and please leave a review.
Without wax,
Laura.
PS: Happy Almost New Year!
Niles couldn't stay like that anymore. It was too much pain and his heart could not take it anymore. Just thinking about what happened made him feel like something inside of him was dying.
While he packed everything in his suitcase he recalled what had happened just a few minutes ago.
CC was slowly pacing in front of him looking towards the ground and then away from him. She mockingly said: "Me, marry you? Please, you are a pathetic excuse for a man. "
"Ditto!" Answered Niles with a strong and also mocking tone. Then, looking straight into her eyes he toned down his voice a bit saying, "But at least I know when it's time to move on. You are going to spend the rest of your life pining for a man who doesn't loves you and who is married to a woman half your age."
Fran approached him and exclaimed with a bit dramatic wave of her arms, "Oh Niles, please don't go!"
Ignoring Fran, Niles continued his speech while pointing to where Maxwell and Fran were, trying to keep his eyes away as little as possible from CC's face. "Look around you. They are married. They are starting a family. Where are you going to be ten ... twenty years from now? You are going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' to your friends in rehab, and wondering what might have been. "
When he finished talking he waited for a while, hoping to see if CC had anything to say. But she said nothing. She was just standing still while staring at nothing.
"I'll be leaving first thing in the morning, sir." It was the last thing he said before climbing the stairs and going to his room.
His eyes filled with tears again. He felt like another piece of his heart was breaking. He loved her, loved her more than he had ever loved. Every morning he opened his eyes by the mere hope of seeing her. He made cheap excuses so he could stop by the office for the simple reason of making a joke or hurl an insult her way. He lived for those rare moments in which both enjoyed each other company, forgetting their differences, like when they danced in a ceremony or a banquet.
But now he had ruined everything. Well, actually it was not his fault that she was a proud and cold hearted bitch. He did everything possible to get her attention, be more to her liking and deserve her love. He even went to the trouble to produced his first play on Broadway just to earn her appreciation. But she could never see beyond his job, status and social class. For her Niles would always be a poor lowly servant and he could not continue living like this. He could not live in the same house that she frequented every single day. He could not bear to see her almost every hour of the day knowing that he could never have her. Above all, he could not live with the humiliation of this night.
If at first he was not sure that his decision to leave was the best, his mind was now completely determined. He had no choice at all, Niles must leave the mansion. For more that it hurt him having to say goodbye to the Sheffield and although he would miss them like crazy, nothing compared to the suffering that he was for sure going to feel if he stayed there.
He finished packing his bag with just enough clothes for a few days until arriving to his destination. Where would he go? He didn't know, and frankly, he didn't even cared. He could always return to England with his parents. Maybe he could go to visit some of his relatives in France, or ... He just didn't know. Niles just wanted to go as far as possible. If he could he would disappear from the face of the earth.
Before going to sleep he decided to write a letter to CC, his love, because although he was deeply hurt he could not deny that he loved her more than life. He would tell her through this letter all the suffering she had caused him and explain that the love he felt for her was real and he couldn't deny it anymore. Niles'll give it to Maxwell tomorrow before leaving so he could deliver it to CC later.
After writing the letter he said aloud, "I guess this is goodbye. Maybe, someday, we'll see each other again. I wont ever forget you Babs, I love you." And he brushed his lips gently on the envelope where he had put the letter, like he was giving it a farewell kiss. And with that he lay down to sleep, just to be persecuted in his nightmares by the mocking laughter of the blue-eyed blonde that he loved so much.
