Tessa's P.O.V:
I stay curled up on Nicks couch and don't utter a word when I hear him walk in through the front door. He loosens the tie around his neck and places his jacket on the arm rest by my feet."How was your day?" I mumble. He turns to me in suprise.
"You're talking." He states.
"State the obvious." I mumble and let him sit down on the couch. I place my feet on his lap as he gets comfortable and leans back.
"I'm just suprised. It's been a couple of days since you last said a word." He says.
"A couple of days is a very long time." I shrug. "I want to go to the studio." I tell him.
"Why?" He asks.
"It's been almost a month, Nicklaus. I can't stay here forever. I want to put out my album and end this contract already." I say as I stare at the tv.
"And Marshall?" He raises his brow.
"What about him?" I ask after a long pause.
"...Are you over him?" He asks, making me laugh sadly.
"I don't think i'm ever going to get over him." I say as I stand up and walk away from him.
"Tessa." Nick says, stopping me going into his room. I turn around to face him as I fold my arms across my chest and wait for him to speak. "Are you alright?" He asks after a long pause.
"No." I smile sadly and shake my head. "And I don't think I ever will be." I add. "But that's alright....Right?" I ask but get no answer. "I'll act 'alright' infront of our mangers and i'll act 'alright' infront of the papparazi and fans and my family and friends....But I will never be alright. Not after everything that's happened." I sigh.
"Look..." Nicklaus sighs after a long time. "I have no idea what you're going through but-" He starts until I cut him off.
"Then let's not talk about this then." I shrug. "You can't relate." I add.
"Hear me out before you cut in." Nick sighs.
"I can manage this one my own. I'm sick of the pain and the embarrassment...and...The Heartbreak." I let out a long sigh. "I can manage this all on my own...I'm moving out. Tomorrow morning." I tell him.
"You know you can stay here as long as you like." Nick says.
"I know but I just want to be alone." I nod.
"Okay...I..We can go hunting for an apartment tomorrow. I can take the day off work-" He starts before I cut in.
"I'm moving into an hotel. I already asked Lilly, my assistant to look for an apartment. I should get it by the end of next week." I tell him.
"Oh...Well, okay." He clear his throat.
"Thank you for everything." I force a smile on my lips before I walk away.

"It's nice." Nick shrugs as he stands in the living room and look up at the chandler. "Very nice and fancy." He adds.
"Mhmm." I nod.
"Although....It's nothing compared to my place." He says making me roll my eyes as I walk past him. I hear him chuckle as he follows me. "Why are there two bedrooms?" He says as he walks into the spare bedroom.
"Iris." I say as I walk in. "The place is only fifteen minutes away from her school and-" I start but get cut off.
"You're still looking after Iris." Nick asks in suprise.
