Ok I just thought of this, well not really I thought of this a while ago, but it was a lot longer, and I don't want to do it that long so I'll just put up the part I really liked. And I know I still have to put up the next chapter of "the place no one wants to be" but o well.
Realising
Once Sweeney finally realises he needs Nellie Lovett, will it be too late?
It was a glum morning in London. Mrs. Lovett was standing behind the counter waiting for the morning rush to come in her shop.
But instead of the bell she heard barking. That was very odd to her, curiosity got the best of her, and after all she was brought up in London, one of the nosiest parts of it too.
So she want out the side of the shop to take a look and saw a man about her age standing there with a dog, trying to get him to heal.
"Noisy lil thing isn't it?" she asked.
"Oh hullo, yes 'e is, he'll probably settle down soon this being a new place and all."
"Yes, 'e looks like my childhood dog, barker, I loved 'im dearly. Though 'is name had meaning, lil nit wouldn't be quiet 'round those he liked."
"Oh I had a dog when I was younger too."
"Yes, well I've never seen you 'round 'ere before, so did you jus move 'ere?"
"Yes I did, you see my wife died about eleven months ago, I would've left sooner but times is hard and I didn't have the money."
"Oh I'm sorry to 'ear your wife died, my husband died years ago."
"Well I'm sorry for your loss."
"But why London? It's certain not to lighten your mood?"
"Ah well I'm a tailor, I herd there was no one around these parts that does my kind of craft, so here I am but I do wish once I save up money to move."
"Where?" Mrs. Lovett asked him not noticing she's left poor Toby all by himself in the shop.
"By the sea." He said his deep blue eyes sparkling.
"MUM!" Called a voice as little Toby came into the picture.
"Oh mum 'ere you are," he said clearly a little relived at him finding his dear adopted mum.
"Oh Toby I'm sorry love! I didn't mean to worry you I was jus talking to mister…" She was cut off by the sandy brown haired man.
"Taylor, William Taylor's my name," he said with a smile.
"Ha-ha that's kinda funny, with you being a tailor and a Taylor."
"Yes a lot of people say that. Um I have yet to hear your name, Mrs…"
"Lovett, Eleanor Lovett."
"So this is you son," William said nodding toward Toby.
"Yes, no, well he's kind of adopted."
"Yeah, mum is truly a blessing, sent by the good Lord himself," Toby said smiling.
"Oh but you are the blessing, pet," she said hugging the small boy."
"Well you do look quite happy, and like mother and son." William was smiling at the scene.
Toby was smiling 'hmmm Nellie Taylor, I like it, and this William guy, I haven't seen mum look so happy, even when Mr. T actually acknowledged her presence, which was very rare'.
"So Mrs. Lovett the winter festival is coming in town, today, I saw some posters up when I was walking spotty here. Will I see you and you son there?"
"Oh yes! Of course!" she said with more enthusiasm then normal.
"Great maybe you can show me some other places wile were there."
"Of course, the festival is at Hyde park, right?" she asked, she never really paid much attention to the posters.
"So mum, that's means I'll really get to go to an actual festival? With dancing, selling, buying and fun and games?" Toby asked getting more and more excited with every word.
"Yes love have you not been to one?"
"No, Pirelli never let me go to one, only try to sell his elixir at them."
"Well this will be a great experience for you!" William said.
Just then Sweeney Todd came out of his shop to see the three people and dog standing there, the people all in smiles.
"What are you all doing out here?" he asked confused as he came down the stairs.
"Oh Mr. T we're jus talking, buy the way this is out new neighbour, William Taylor, a tailor from-"
"America," William said smiling at her, she smiled back.
"Oh! Mr. Taylor this is Mr. Todd he's barber that lives above me own shop."
"Oh I see, what do you do for a living anyway, Mrs. Lovett?"
"I bake meat pies."
"Oh well I'm sure there the best in all of London," he smiled again.
She giggled like a teen in love.
Toby noticed this and grinned to himself.
So did Mr. Todd and he felt himself frown. But he had no reason.
Sweeney POV
It's because your jealous.' a voice from inside his head said
'Am NOT!'
'Yes you are'
'No I'm not, why would I be jealous?'
'Because you love her' it purred
'Do not!'
'Yes you dooo! Sweeney loves Nellie, Sweeney loves Nellie' it teased.
'No I love Lucy, only her'
'Oooooooooh no you don't! Benjamin Barker loved Lucy, he's dead! Your very much alive, and wasting your life,"
'Sigh no I'm not!!!!'
'Just to let you know it's really no use to lie to yourself'
'I'm not lying!!!!'
'Sorry to tell you but you are'
'I'm not talking to you anymore, mostly because Mrs. Lovett has said my name like ten times now, and is waving her hand in front of me eyes'
"Mister Todd!! Love!?" she called for the fifth time.
"Huh?" I say jerking back to reality blinking and taking in my surroundings.
"Mr. T, love you blanked out for like five minuets."
"Oh I was just thinking, well actually fighting with myself but who cares." I then bite my lip trying not to smack myself for what I said.
"Well I better go back up to my shop hehe" I laughed nervously as I turn quickly and fast-walk up the stairs, muttering "You made me do that" on the way.
'Why did you make me say that?'
'Well you weren't telling the full truth, since you won't tell yourself the truth, you might as well tell other people the truth'
Nellie's POV (back to where we left off)
"Well that was unusual behaviour wasn't it Toby?" I ask my young boy.
"Yes mum, it was, I wonder wot 'e was talking 'bout? Fighting with 'imself?"
"So, I take it he doesn't act like that normally?" William asked
"No, no course not!"
"So I'll see you at the festival and Mr. Todd too?"
"Ah yes! Mr. Todd I've got to tell 'im! But yes like I said you'll see us there," I added giving William a warm smile. 'Somethin about this man makes me smile, I don't know maybe it's is beautiful smile or maybe his eyes that stand out against is sandy brown hair, I don' know but I like 'im very much, it's almost like… love at first sight.'
"Well I have to go now, got some unpacking to do."
"Ok, bye Mr. Taylor." I say.
"Bye!" Toby said cheerily.
I walk up to Mr. Todd's place as Toby goes into my shop and William to his house.
When I near the door I hear pacing but not the normal loud slow thump of his boot, I hear a face paced thump,thump,thump against the hard wood.
"Mr. T?" I ask as I slowly open his door. He is pacing there quite fast and muttering to him self. He stops and bangs his fist against the bureau thing.
"I am not lying to my self!" he snapped at no one.
"Mr. T!" I said louder.
"Huh?" he said looking up and over to see me.
"Mr. Todd the festival is in town taday so I was wonderin if you wanted to go, with Toby William and me."
"Oh sure I guess."
I smile and say "Ok then, we'll be goin soon."
"Ok I'll be down, not too long from now."
Normal POV
Mrs. Lovett left and Sweeney started to pace once again.
A while later.
Someone barged into the shop and smiled and said "Mrs. Lovett!"
"Yes?" she replied not knowing this girl that came in.
"Ha-ha you don't recognize me do you?" she asked as Mr. Todd came down.
"Um no miss, I don't," Nellie replied.
"Well you should after all you were the only one I trusted with my secret." The yellow haired woman said
so I was goning to make this a one-shot but ki thought of a better idea, and just to let you know I wasn't going to put in the woman, that was the change but I did it anyway!
