Nikolas slammed everything off of his desk as he sat down and let all the tears that he had been holding back go. The woman he thought he'd spend the rest of his life with had just told him that she didn't love him anymore. Why was he surprised though? It was a long time in the making and he knew that eventually with all the added hospital hours and the pushing him away that this is what his marriage would lead to. He poured himself another glass of scotch and looked around at the mess. His eyes bloodshot and puffy his face swollen and red from all the tears from that day. How could Emily tell him that? Did she mean it or was it just some mean joke to push him away as everything else had been since he had gotten out of prison. It was too late to try and play mr.fixit now because as much as he hated to admit it and come to terms with something so heartbreaking there was nothing left between him and Emily. It was over.
Courtney herself had to come to terms with the fact that Jax was planning to take their baby from her as soon as he had custody in his hands. How had he gone from the loving man she had married to the cold manipulative calculating decietful man that he had become? She didn't want to believe Nikolas when he told her what he had heard. She had almost slapped him but she couldn't bring herself to do so. Jax had played her like a game of twister. Twisted her emotions until she had fallen for every pathetic lie and alibi. How could he be so hateful? Did he not know that nothing had gone on between her and Nikolas. Atleast nothing in the sense he had thought. She had found herself at Nikolas living room door at Wyndemere. There he sat in his chair crying clearly heartbroken. She swallowed the lump in her throat at the sight of how bad he was hurting as she knocked. He looked up to catch her eyes. What could she say to him? How could she make the hurt that filled his big brown eyes go away?
She walked over to him as her eyes filled with tears as well. He didn't say anything he just got up and walked over to her as he hugged her. She held him as they both cried. Silence really did speak louder then words. "Emily..." he choked to get the words out. "She admitted she doesn't love me anymore." he said as he looked down. "Oh Nikolas..." Courtney sympathized as she placed her hand on his. "I'm sorry...about everything...you were right about Jax I should have believed you." "Please...Don't apologize...both of us have done that enough already as it is we shouldn't do it to each other." He said as he dried the tears from her eyes and smiled. "I can't help it...I don't want to hurt you." She laid her forehead on his chin as they held hands. "You won't." he promised as he kissed the top of her head. "The only thing that could hurt me is to keep denying how I feel about you." he admitted.
