To Forget - A Sweeney Todd Fanfiction.
He couldn't forget her. He simply couldn't. Her face, her eyes, her lips, her voice. He needed her in his life, as she once did him. But it would never happen. She was gone. He was left alone with only his dreams as memories. He wanted her back, needed her back, but he couldn't. He had her once, but he let her go. Strange, how you never realise how precious something is until you lose it...
He had spent all his time plotting his revenge, he didn't notice how much she loved him, when it was right in front of him. A mix of emotions conquered him at the present time : hate, jealousy, love, sorrow. His hate for Anthony - who now had Johanna - burned like the fires of hell. His jealousy for the man who had Nellie Lovett on his arm was equal to his hate for him. His love for Nellie grew and grew with each passing day, every waking hour filled with memories of her. His sorrow for Lucy - oh, how he missed her. He had never noticed Nellie's obvious infatuation with him at the time, as his mourning for Lucy and hate for Judge Turpin was all that was on his mind, but now they were gone. Both dead. Sweeney began to notice how hard times that call for desperate measures can bring two people together, but now, now Nellie was also gone. Alive and well, by the sea, with a husband, and Toby, just like she always dreamed. That could of been him, but it wasn't.
It was discovered that Sweeney Todd's Tonsorial Parlor was merely a masquerade for a murdering scheme. Toby had escaped, gotten the law to seize the barber and the baker. Toby was thankful towards Nellie Lovett. She had saved him, and he would make sure that the favour would be returned...and it was.
Toby had told the law that Sweeney had concocted this murdering scheme alone. Murdered the innocent, fed his revenge and threatened Nellie Lovett to the point of delusion - all a fantastic cover-up when the authorities seized Sweeney and she confessed her guilt - which was ignored. Toby was as calculating as the demon barber himself, later introducing Nellie to a noble aristocrat, allowing them to fall in love, move down by the sea, and convincing her to forget about Sweeney being arrested...until one day...
