Chapter 4
Her hair was done and the mascara
being placed on her lashes was the last of her make up to be applied. She felt
calmer then she did when she had been having her hair done but she was still
slightly nervous. Perhaps hearing his voice would calm her she thought as she
reached for the phone.
“And who do you think you are
ringing?” She was caught. Her mother had that knowing look and she knew that
her plan had been foiled she would just have to wait it was only another hour.
“You obviously know Mum.” She said as
she replaced the phone back into the holder.
“Sweetie you are going to see him in
an hour. Can’t you wait that long?” She asked as she took her by the hand and
led her to the couch.
“No I can’t. I want to hear his
voice.” She replied honestly.
“I don’t know how you to spent those
six months apart when you weren’t together.”
“Me either” She whispered as she
reminisced.

Nick sat stunned at what Edie had just
told him.
“So that’s it? It’s over? You have
just decided that it’s over?” He asked in disbelief, not looking at her.
“I just can’t do this anymore Nick. We
barely see each other and I am spending every weekend on tour with you and I
get to work and I’m so tired. I just I think it would be better if we just kind
of took a break for a while,” She replied in a whisper, willing the tears not
to fall. This hadn’t been an easy decision to make but things just weren’t
working and it would be even harder soon as he was touring Europe for three
months.
“I know we haven’t seen each other but
we can work this out. Just…”
“How? How can we work this out Nick?
You are going to Europe for three months,” She said, harsher then she had meant
to, as she looked over at his pleading eyes.
“You can come with me. I can fly you
ou…”
“What about my job? Come on be
realistic here”
“I have told you give it up. Baby I
have more than enough to share with you,” he said as he moved closer to her
grabbing her hand in his own.
“Nick we have been through this, I
don’t want to live off you and I believe it or not I love my job” she replied,
as she pulled her hand from his grasp.
“Then what is it you want? Huh Edie
what? I love you isn’t that enough?” He yelled as he stood up and paced around
the room.
“Nick please, don’t make this harder.”
