A/N: Okay. I've changed my mind on where this story is going, and so the answers I gave to those who had asked me certain questions…just forget them. Sorry. But I had intentionally intended to just end this on the second chapter. As you can tell that's not happening. If you're confused on anything, just ask, I'll do my best to answer.
He didn't come back either. He would stay away if it killed him.
Sometimes he told himself he was doing it for her safety. Sometimes it was because she was too good for him, an on the rare occasion he admitted it to himself, it was because she reminded him of all he had lost.
He was thinking about that last one as he sat on one of the stools around the island in the kitchen eating the left over take out from the day before. He no longer had any real plans for the future, no hopes that he'd get married and have a family. No more comfort of friendships. Things he'd once taken for granted, all gone.
The silence in the house was enough to choke him. Reaching over to the radio that was mounted to the under side of the cabinet he flipped it on. "Come as You Are" by Nirvana was playing. A song that reminded him even more of the past.
As Kurt Cobain's voice filled the air. He wondered what Maddie would think if she knew the full truth. What he was. Who his enemies were. The betrayals he'd been dealt and dealt out himself. The mistakes he'd made that had shifted his reality so drastically. The blood he was after.
He briefly fantasized that she'd smile up at him after his confession and say that none of that mattered to her. That they could still be friends, or whatever they were. He was so sick of being alone, a friend to talk to everyone once in awhile would go along way in easing his burden.
He glared out the window. That was a joke. She'd run as fast as she could to get away from him, either because she thought he was crazy or even worse because she did believe him. It wasn't that he thought her cruel. Just smart. He wasn't someone you kept company with for the pleasure of it…well maybe he was. He grimaced as he thought about the girl from last night that he had brought home. He couldn't remember her name. What would Maddie think of that?
A/N: Not that this has anything to do with anything, but that song, "Come as You Are" just reminds me of Nick. Don't know why.
So, yea. Thanks for reading. Now go review, and have a wonderful day.
