Chapter 45
**Mary's view**
I told dad how everything happened. He seem to be very sad and pissed off. Well of course cause she was his kids mother. My mother. I never forgot that day. Now I keep good care of my dad. Nothing won't happened to him when I'm around. Dad showed me picture of my brother. “Oh my god dad. He looks so much about you. And he looks older than me.” I looked to my dad. “Well he is older than you. It's a long story sweety.” He smiled. “Are you saying that I got big brother from the past?” I was confused. “Like I said. Long story.” He put picture to his wallet and smiled. “I got time.” I looked at my dad and was exciting. He laughed and hug me and put me to his arms. “I don't sweety. I should be at work by now.” Work? I looked up to my dad and was confused. “Work? You have work?” I asked and he takes something out of his pocket and he gives badge for me. “I'm a cop. You should be proud of your father now.” I looked at badge and start to think. “But dad... This is not you. I remember my dad perfectly. He wasn't a cop.” I looked at my dad. He stood up and smile. “Oh sweetheart. I have better life now and I'm proud of you that you had found guy like Nick. He's nice. Nicer than your fiancĂ©.” I sighed and give badge to dad. “Dad... please...” “Just listen to me. You deserve much better than him. You should be with Nick. He said how he treats and said bad thing for you. Like piece of shit.” Dad now raise his voice for bit. “Dad! You listen!” I snapped at my dad and then I hear Mike to cry. “Damn it... Give me second.” I said and walked to cradle and lift Mike to my arms. “Hey there sweet pie. I'm here.” I looked to my dad. “Dad... This is your grandson Mike. Wanna hold him?” He nods smiling and walks to closer. I give Mike to my dad and smiles. “This is your grandpa, Mike.” Dad takes Mike to his arms and smiles to Mike. “Hey little guy. You look so handsome.” I smiled and took picture of them with my phone. “Awww... Dad. That's so nice.” Dad looks at to me and smiles. “I'm serious about that you should be with Nick. Just get divorce.” I Smiled to my dad. “Dad... Let me talk, okay?” He nods and smiles. “Good cause... Nick and I are back together.” I smiled to dad. “Back? You had been with him before?” He asked confused. “Well yeah... Nick and I had break up 2-3 times. We have our up and downs. But I really love him dad even thought Nick doesn't wanna get married.” I took mike back to my arms and gently sing for him to get back to sleep. “Nick doesn't what?” Dad asked and was little choked. “Oh come on dad. Marriage doesn't solve anything. Only matter is that we love each other.” He start to shake his head. “No, no... I want my little girl to get married. I want to hear this from Nick.” He then walked to door and open it. “Nick. Come here for minute.” Then both walk inside and Nick looks at me smiling. “Is everything okay?” Nick asked and was very confused. “My daughter just told me...” I didn't let dad finished. “Just stop dad. Why can't you just believe what I told you?” Both looks at me and dad says. “I just wanna hear it from him.” Nick looks at my dad and is now even more confused. “Hear about what? Is this about Bridie?” Nick asked and then my dad looked at me. “Who's Bridie?” Oh boy... Yeah I forgot mention about Bridie to dad. Nick looks at me. “I'm lost. Could one of you tell me why I am here?” I put Mike back to cradle. “Dad... You should sit down.” I told him and he shake his head. “I'm fine... Who's Bridie?” he asked and I looked to Nick. “Bridie is our daughter. Your granddaughter, sir.” Nick said and looked dad and then to me. Dad now looked at to me. “You have daughter? How old is she? Must be 2 at least.” I looked at to Nick and sighed. “Actually... She's 4 years old. Mary was 15 when she birth.” Nick said. Dad was now very angry. “WHAT?!” he looks at me and is very pissed. “Dad don't... I love her so much. Don't make big number of this.” “Why not? You were still child to have her! Why you did it?” Nick lead his back against to wall and looks at me. “I would like to know that too. She lied about her age. I thought she was 23.” Dad looks at to Nick and is choked. “And you just decide to make her pregnant?” he asked and moved closer to Nick. “No, sir. I didn't even know I have daughter until 4 days ago. She never called me and told about her. All are her fault.” I was screwed. Dad hated about lying. I sat down to rocking chair and bite my fingernails. I notice dad was looking at to me even I wasn't seeing it. “You never told Nick that he have a daughter? You never called him to tell about it?” he asked and I just couldn't answer. I was so fucked up. “Just answer to him, Mary. He deserve to know the truth.” Nick said. God I hate that Nick was all the time right. “Truth huh?” I looked up to both.
“I tell you both a truth! Yes everything is my fault! It's my fault Nick and I break-up in the first place cause Nick doesn't wanna get married! And I promise to myself that I never call him! So I kept that promise until Hannah send me invitation to a wedding! So here I am at a hospital with 2 people who don't understand how bad it hurts that You dad start to drinking when Mama died! And Nick... Every girl want to get married! Now I don't really care any fuck! This is so bullshit! You both are bullshit! No both of you get out!”
Wow... That was longest line I ever said. But they deserve to hear the truth now. Both looked at each other and were speechless. “You were talking about that I don't wanna get married?” Nick asked and looked at to me. “Is it true, Nick? You don't wanna get married?” My dad asked and looked very choked. “Please talk outside.” I begged. “No... This is about you too, Mary. Your dad need to hear this. And so does you.” Nick said and looked at to me. “Okay. I'm listening.” I said and sat down on bed. Nick took deep breath and start to talk. “Okay. Here's the thing. I was 23 years back then when I said I don't wanna get married. Now that I'm 29 I can't stop thinking of married. Your sister was right, Mary. If you could wait view years we might be married by now. I loved you so much and you mess up it.” What? Me? He wasn't serious. I looked at to Nick. “Me? That's so bullshit. I loved you too and you left me to my room cause I wanted to get married.” I snapped at him. “See... That's your daughter Mr. Pieling. Always saying that it's someone else fault.” Nick said and pointed at me. “Sweety.” My dad said and looked at me. “What?” I asked and looked at him. “Nick already told you that he wasn't ready to get married when he was 23. And you were what? 14?” he asked and started to count. “Well maybe I was little overreacting.” I said and looked both of them. “Little? Babe... You take it too serious.” Nick said. “You two give me a headache. Please go!” I said and walked next to window to look out.
I heard door to shut down. I took deep breath and start to cry.
**Nick’s View**
I walked outside with Ronald. He offered me a coffee and I couldn’t say no. We walked to cafeteria and sat down to talk. “So I have granddaughter Bridie. Tell me about her.” Ronald said and drunk his coffee. “What should I say? I had known her only 3 or 4 days.” I said and drunk my coffee for bit. “Do you have a picture of her?” He asked and I took my cell phone and showed a picture. “That’s Bridie.” I said and smiled. Ronald looks at the picture and smiles. “She’s so beautiful. She looks so much about Mary when she was little.” Ronald said and laughed. “Really? I haven’t see any picture of her when she was little girl. Do you have picture with you?” I asked and smiled. Ronald gave my cell back and took his wallet. “I got it here somewhere. Oh here it is.” He said and give me a picture where was Mary with her sister Hannah. “Oh no… What they are doing in this picture? Water war?” I asked laughing. “Yeah… They shoot water on me after I took a picture.” He said and we both to start to laugh. Ronald was great man. I never thought I would get along with him. He is getting a better man. I can feel it. What Mary has told me about him it’s not that guy any more. “You can keep it if you want.” Ronald said and smiled. “No. It’s yours. I got many picture of Mary at my house.” I said and give it back to him. “Thank you. You are good man, Nick. I so hope you and Mary get married someday.” Ronald said and smiled. “Me too, Ronald. Me too.” I said smiling. We drunk our coffees and then Ronald needed to go back to work. We said goodbyes and then he left. I sat down back to my seat and then I heard whispering behind me. I looked my behind me and saw 4 girls smiling and looking at me. “Yes I’m Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. What you girls want?” I asked and smiled. They walked closer me and this 1 girl start to talk. “Just picture with you and autograph.” I stood up and smiled to girl. “Sure. Did you girls follow me to hospital or something?” I asked and give them autographs. “No… My sister is here. She was in car accident. Her name is Lisa. She’s so crazy about you. Would you come to see her and say hi?” girl said again. I looked at to girl and smiled. “Yeah. I got time.” I said and took my stuff and walked with my fans to Lisa’s room. I didn’t have even bodyguard with me. This was crazy. Where was Q anyway?
4 girls walked inside the room and there was laying down on bed in bad shape this brown hair girl. “Lisa. Here’s someone who want to say hi to you.” same girl who talked earlier say to Lisa. I walked closer to Lisa and smiled. “Lisa? Hi… It’s Nick. Your friends here asked me to come to see you. How are you feeling?” I asked and smiled. Lisa opened her eyes for bit open and smiled for bit and I just couldn’t stop smiling too. “Nick… This is dream isn’t it?” She asked very quietly. “No… I’m here. Feel this?” I asked and touch her hand. Oh she started to cry. I guess cause of happiness to see me. “Yes I can feel that.” She whispered. “Just hang in there. Are you in pain?” I asked and looked at her. “Not anymore, but earlier I was. Nurse gave me some medicine to feel better.” I looked at to other girls. “How long she’s going to be here?” I asked. “Doctor said that 3 weeks. She can’t walk anymore.” other girl said. “What? That’s so terrible. Sorry to hear that.” I said and looked back to Lisa. “Lisa? Be strong. You will walk someday again. I’ll pray with other guys.” I said and touched Lisa’s hand. “So nice of you, Nick. Thank you.” She said quietly. “Sorry girls, but I need to go now.” I said to girls and smiled. “May I ask you a question?” this little girl asked. She was about 10 years old. I smiled to her and nodded. “Yeah sweetheart. What you want to ask?” I asked. “What are you doing in hospital? Is someone hurt?” she asked. I looked at other girls and I didn’t know what to say. “Well girls… My girlfriend just labor her baby so… She’s here cause of baby.” I said and I just couldn’t believe I said that to them. “You are father?” 4th girl suddenly asked. “No. He’s not mine. Sorry girls, but I really can’t talk about this. Take care, Lisa. Was nice to meet you.” I said and walked outside. I closed the door and sighed. “I so hope that won’t go to press tomorrow morning.” I said out loud and walked to Mary’s room. I saw her sitting still next to window looking outside. “Is it raining?” I asked and looked outside. “Yes. What are you doing here, Nick? I don’t wanna see anyone.” Mary said and looked at me. “Just want you to know that your dad left back to work. He might wanna come to see you later if you want.” I said and walked closer to her. “Fine by me.” She stood up and looked at me. “How’s Mike doing?” I asked and smiled. Mary looked at to cradle. “I guess he’s sleeping.” I looked at to cradle to see Mike and there he was. Sleeping. I smiled and looked at him “He’s so amazing. Even he’s not my son, I’m gonna be there for him. I can help him to walk and talk.” I said exciting. “You don’t have to.” Mary said and sighed. “I want to. Let me do it.” I begged. She looked up to me and smiled. “Okay. If you really want.” I put her to hug and smiled. “I won’t let you down, babe.” I said and kissed her cheek. “You better not.” Mary said and laughed. I looked down on her and smiled. “ I promise you. I had change. You have to trust me. I never ever let you go again. And yes. I will marry you.” I said and smiled. “I didn’t even propose you.” Mary said and looked at me odd look on her face. “Yeah I know… After your dad showed a picture of you and your sister Hannah playing water war, I decided to marry you.” Mary looks at me. “Wait what? Picture of me and Hannah?” Mary asked. I only nodded and smiled. “Dad still have that? I thought he throw it away.” Mary said and sat down on her bed and sighed deep. I sat next to her and put her to my arms. “You looked very cute. You were naked” I said and laughed. “Hey. I was kid that day. Don’t make funny of me.” She said and hit me to my stomach. I only laughed. “Sorry. I won’t. But it was very cute picture. Your dad wanted to give it to me but I said no.” I said and smiled. “Did I ever told you how my mom died?” She suddenly asked. I started to think of. “I don’t remember. Wanna tell me?” I asked and looked at her. “Yeah. I had think of her a lot lately. I told dad about it and he couldn’t hear what I was saying. Mom was his first love.” She said and sighed again deeply. “You don’t have to tell me.” I said and looked at her. “I want to. It’s killing me if I can’t tell you about it.” she said and put her head to my shoulder. I hold her in my arms and give kiss to her head. “Okay. You tell me then. I’m listening.” I said and so she started to tell me how everything began with this Joshua. Mari’s mom Tara engaged with this Joshua. Only Mary knew what kind of asshole he was. I feel so sorry for her and her sister Hannah. Joshua was raping Mary!? What?! “What? He raped you many times?” I asked and she stood up off the bed. “I’m sorry. Please continue.” I said but she couldn’t continue. She was in pain to think of it. I walked to her and put her to hug. “I’m right here. He can’t hurt you anymore. He’s gone.” I repeat to her because she told me that he killed her mom Tara and himself by jumping on the roof. Why someone can be so terrible to do something like that? I’m so glad he didn’t kill my love and Hannah. We weren’t here right now if he would do it. I thank you God for not let her go away. Mary looked very tired so I helped her to bed to sleep. I sat myself to chair and be was awake whole night. Mike view times cried but Mary didn’t hear. She was so in sleep. I looked after Mike too that night. Oh I was gonna love this boy even it wasn’t mine. We were going to be a family. And I was going to marry Mary soon. I hope so.
