So I wanted a tiny break from my other fic so that will now be updated every Monday from now on. I wanted to write something new so this could be a oneshot but I could carry it on if people wanted. :)
It's quite short but this is a oneshot on how Robert tells Nick about him and Carla sleeping together.
"Nick can I have a word please?" Robert whispered as he stood next to him at the bar. "In the back?" He added as he gestured towards the bar.
"Can't it wait,I'm meeting Carla at the flat in a minute" Nick asked not interested in what he had to say.
"Well it's Carla I've came to talk to you about as it happens" Robert said with a nervous smile.
"Alright then,Liz is it all right if we use the back room for a few minutes" Nick agreed whilst calling over to Liz.
"Sure,but don't be to long Michelle will be back soon" Liz said as she gestured for Nick and Robert to come through.
"So come on then,what is it?" Nick asked whilst smiling "what is she getting you to do, is it something to do with the wedding?"
"No Nick it's nothing like that and after this u don't think you'll want there to be a wedding" Robert said quietly.
"What? Robert what on earth are you going on about" Nick asked puzzled.
"Carla slept with someone else" Robert quickly blurted out but instantly regretted it.
"What? How the hell could you possibly know that it's not like she would have told you?" Nick tried to tell himself that Carla wouldn't have done that, not his Carla. She wouldn't.
"Because Nick,it was me who she cheated on you with." Robert said quiet confidently he wasn't even sure why he was telling Nick, he just wanted to.
"Like she'd go near you. Your scum and anyways Carla loves me she would never do anything to jeopardise what we've got" Nick wasn't sure who he was trying to reassure Robert or himself.
"Don't believe me, I just thought you deserved to know the truth" Robert said as he walked towards the door and put his hand on the door handle.
"When." Nick uttered as he began to open the door but quickly closed it again once Nick began asking more questions. "Come on when, and where?" Nick ordered Robert to confess.
"New Years Eve and it was at that casino Carla likes to go to" Robert explained.
"My birthday" He told himself, Carla had been very shifty that day but he had chose to ignore it.
"Nick, I'm sorry. It was a one time thing and we were both very drunk" Robert tried to justify what he and Carla had done.
"You can't have been that drunk you managed to walk from the downstairs casino, book a room and then sleep together" Nick stated quite sarcastically.
"She loves you Nick" Robert added on to his earlier statement.
"She can't love me if she cheated on me with you! It obviously meant something to you if you felt he need to tell me about it" Nick shouted.
"I have to admit when I was with her I felt amazing,it meant something to me" Robert started to explain as Nick shot him a look. "But it didn't mean anything to her! She left as soon as it happened and told me she regretted it" he added.
"And that makes it better does it? She doesn't want you so everything's fine? Why didn't you just keep it to yourself" Nick was still so confused to why he'd even want to tell him, why didn't he just keep it a secret.
"No of corse not Nick, I had to tell you because I love her" Roberts sentence had gone really quiet near the end.
"Your in love with Carla? You love my fiancé someone you slept with once?" Nick laughed. "Your mad" he added.
"Nick you've got to understand, Carla would want to be with me if she wasn't with you. It's like you suffocate her" Robert spat.
Nick stood up from where he'd been sitting on the sofa and walked past Robert. He reached for the door and opened it slightly. As he went to walk out the door he turned around and threw Robert a familiar punch in the face and he went flying into the table behind him.
"Carla would never get with you Robert, she's got standards" Nick said as he walked out of the back door of the rovers.
He walked down what seemed a 8 mile long ginnel and headed towards Carla's flat. He wanted answers.
What he didn't see as he charged across the road was the car zooming towards him. The car beeped its horn for Nick to move out of the way but as he turned around it was too late. Blood surrounded his body as he lay lifeless on the ground.
Will Nick survive? I may just leave it here but it depends if people want me to carry it on or not, thank you xx
