Chapter 10
"So Sara, what do you want for breakfast?" Nick asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Umm you see that cupboard there to your umm" she held up her hands and made and "L" with both hands to figure out which was which "left?"
"Yea, why?"
"Open it" He slowly opened the cupboard and saw boxes of cereal. He picked up one at a time and shook them. "Sara all these boxes have like nothing in them!" She laughed.
"I know Nick, that's the point! I always leave a little bit of cereal at the end of a box, and open another and do the same with that one."
" Uh Sara there's got to be at least seven boxes here." He glanced at her with a worried expression spreading across his face.
"I know Nicky, but we can handle it." She grinned.
"Oh, so this is the nice romantic breakfast we've been talking about?"
"Sure why not? Cereal is very romantic Nicky! When you want it to be" Her tone turned husky, and she leaned herself against him pushing him into the counter.
"What ever you say Sidle." Their faces were inches apart. "Now let's eat because I am a very hungry man! Where do you keep the bowls?"
"In the next cupboard." She pointed and then began to pull cereal boxes out of that cupboard. Nick turned around with two small bowls in his hands. "Uh uh, the big bowl Nicky, we've got to share."
"And are we going to be sharing a spoon as well?" he asked seductively.
"Only if you want" She quipped.
"Mmm maybe."
"OK I'm really hungry now." She whined. She sat down at the table and began to pour the rest of the cereal from all the boxes into the one big bowl.
"Uh Sara what are you doing?"
"Well you didn't think we were going to finish them off one at a time did you?" She smiled evilly and continued to add milk to the cereal.
"Um no, but that looks like shit!" He looked at the cereal and laughed. It was a mix of Lucky Charms, Apple Jacks, Fruit Loops, Golden Grahams, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Captain Crunch. Sara took a big bite out of it.
"Mmm, this is good."
"Yea" The rest of breakfast was done in silence except for a few laughs from Sara laughing at Nick's faces as he kept eating the cereal mix. They cleaned up and sat down in the living room. Nick wandered over to the pictures that he had seen before. He picked up the picture of Sara and the guy who he didn't recognize. Probably from her band he thought. "Hey Sara can I ask you something?" She stood up and stood by his side.
"Yea Nick sure anything."
"Did you love him?" He looked up and just gazed at her intently his eyes locked on hers. She looked down at the picture, took it from Nick's hands and sat down on the couch.
"He said he loved me, and that he would always be there and that he would never hurt me." Sara's expression softened and her eyes began to well up with tears.
"What was his name and how did he hurt you?" Tears began to fall from her eyes. "I'm sorry Sara, we don't have to talk about it if you don't want, I mean I was just wondering.
"No Nick it's OK." She sniffled looked at him and smiled weakly. "His name was Paul. And after we recorded that CD everything went down hill. He started to get into drugs-Heroine to be more exact. And alcohol and one night he came home and he was drunk and all doped up. And he umm—he.."
"Sara what did he do?"
"Like I said he was drunk and doped up and he…he…ra…he raped me." Nick winced at the words that came out of her mouth. "Nick it's OK really he didn't know what he was doing and I was to afraid to fight back."
"No Sara it's not OK! Some one violated you! Someone you loved and trusted with all your heart! Sara it's not OK. Did you at least tell someone?"
"Yea, I filed a report and he was arrested, and sent to jail where…he…he um committed suicide. And it was all my fault Nick."
"NO Sara it wasn't, shh" She was sobbing. Silent tears were falling down his face as well. She looked up to him.
"Nick why are you crying?" She wiped some of his tears away with her thumb.
"Sara I was hurt when I was nine, just about the same way you were, and it took me years of pain and nightmares to realize it wasn't my fault, and this what you're telling me now isn't your fault." He kissed her forehead.
"Thank you Nick. OK enough crying let's do something." She sat up and stretched.
"OK like what?"
"Movies?"
"Sure let's go." Nick stood up and pressed play on the CD player.
"Nick what are you doing?"
"I like to hear you sing." She smiled and continued to walk down the hall.
