Previously on Nathan's Journey Tonight, we learnt about Nathan's experiences, his pain, his past. Now it's time for Andrea's Journey of the story after Nathan's conviction.
It resumes to Andrea's point of view as she sees Nathan being taken away.
"In that moment, it became real... I was losing Nathan and there was nothing I could do about it..."
Andrea sees the doors close on Nathan.
"From that moment... I felt all alone again..."
She cries on the drive home, because she hoped... He'd be by her side.
"I'll never be able to let go of him... It's like..." She feels the seat Nathan was in. "I've lost half of myself..." She tries to find his warmth, she tries to remember his voice. "It's only been few minutes but I miss his voice." She replays there final moment together.
"Andrea I'll always love you, please don't let our love end on a bad episode!" Nathan says as he's being aggressively taken away. "I will find a way back to you!! I promise, I'm not like everyone else who abandoned you!! Please don't cry." She sees his handsome face smile at her one last time.
"I wish I said something... Anything... Now I completely regret it... He had such a beautiful speech for me... While I just stood there crying like an idiot!" Her tears of grief quickly turn to anger and self hatred. "I hate myself for it... I wish I could've held him until it all ended... I wish... Maybe if I commit a crime we can be together again?" She says desperate nonsense as she knows she couldn't stop this.
"Maybe... If I was good enough in the first place... He wouldn't have needed to fuck Emily... If I was hotter... Maybe if I..." She breaks down going on a downward spiral.
"I can't talk like this... I know god has got me. This is happening for a reason." She gathers herself gripping the wheel looking forward but her lip is still quivering. "I've got to be strong for them." She thinks as she rubs her stomach. "Nathan left me with a mini him in me. So I'll never truly be left alone" She feels her stomach and she feels his hand on it, she knows no matter what happens he'll be with her.
"I've got this!" She says full of conviction and an adorable smile.
She drives the long way from Uptown past North Shore back to her house. But it feels off...
"This house doesn't feel like a home... Without him..." she gets out the car and as she walks.
"I remember this is where I first saw him again after everything... He ruined our name, he made a fool of me. But... I can't stay mad at him... I can't let go of him. I had every right to be mad, I should've divorced him... But I couldn't bring myself to. I don't know why I have a love for the unstable, I love the chaos that comes with him..." She goes deep into thought about Nathan as she walks through the house thinking of how she feels about Nathan.
"I love holding him through the fire, I don't care if I burnt by the flame. And I know he'd do the same. To him this is no game. And I know this sounds lame. But the thought of him is driving me insane. Coz with him I ride in the fast lane. And I feel the rush and on his raise to fame. After he was framed." Andrea says in a dramatic poem of her love for chaos from Nathan.
"Even though it was chaos... Having him made that feel like peace, it felt like home. He reminds me of him..." She remembers her father who was her rock growing up. "He made chaos feel like heaven. Taylor... Mom... I still hate her for how she abused Dad... He was such a kind soul and she hated him for it. I'll never be like her to Nathan." She thinks as she vividly remembers her mom shouting and hitting her father while he was trying to hide it from her.
"He was trapped in a cage... A bird cage with a carnivorous hawk.. He was never allowed to talk. He was forced to stay because of me... He knew if they divorced the court will give her sole custody. He sacrificed himself for me..." She says sees her father smile gently at her and she can't help but see Nathan as him.
"He truly is the man of my dreams..." She smiles while crying tears of regret.
It cuts to morning as Andrea slept on the couch in Nathan's gown.
"I love his smell so much..." she says as she snuggles smelling the gown and it reminds her of the morning Nathan made her breakfast in bed and those intimate mornings. "I hate this..." she realizes
"Because now I live off of memories of the past..."
She says standing up and wrapping the gown tightly as it's oversized.
"Shit I forget my phone in the car." She goes to the door about to open it.
But as she opens it the media was waiting outside for her. The camera's blasting down on her with her guilty gazes.
"Andrea, daily news! Is it true your Nathan's accomplice?!"
"Andrea, why are you still in the house your man killed a woman in?!"
"Andrea, world press ,what are you going to do with Nathan locked behind bars?"
"Andrea will you go out with me?!"
Their questions rain down on her and unlike before she doesn't have her umbrella with her...
"No comment!!" She said desperately getting in the car and driving off.
"That was rough... Wait a minute did one of them legit ask me out on a date?!" She realizes what that last reporter asked her and she breaks out laughing.
"Well I still got it I guess." She says as she flicks her hair and smiles but she knows that any other guy would never compare to him...
"I'll never able to let go..." Andrea says as a tear falls from her eye. "I've got to get to work..." But she realizes what she's wearing.
"I can't do my job like this." She goes to the nearest clothing store.
"Nathan's not gonna mind me using his credit card." She says being very cheeky.
"Let me just buy a simple suit maybe even get myself breakfast at KFC, who knows..." She thinks smiling as she goes on a spending spree
"My man will understand, it had to happen. He'll pay off the $400 I spent in one morning." She says with a straight face as she finally drives off to work with her nice hair, new power suit and her breakfast burger from KFC.
"Alright I can start my day properly." She arrives at George and Michael associates. "I'm so glad Michael gave me a job as a secretary if he didn't I would've been a stay at home wife and he'd boss me around." She cutely pouts thinking of Nathan. "No, I can't be thinking of him right now." Slaps her face and takes a deep breath and walks in.
"Your late Andrea." Nathan's lawyer from his trial says as he pulls Andrea by the arm.
"I'm sorry Michael, I had a rough morning and..." She tries to plea her case.
"You do realize you can't lie to a lawyer right? I see you had a great morning with all this unnecessary things, your were out spending money you don't have." Michael coldly states the truth taking his anger out on her.
He yelled at her so much that it almost drove Andrea to cry.
"Look I'm sorry for yelling. After the trial all my clients left because they think I'm an incompetent lawyer, my reputation for always winning my cases has been completely destroyed. Please just get to work or we won't have a firm anymore because George dying and me losing... This might be the end of the firm..." Michael says as the whole firm has no clients at all.
Andrea wipes her teary eyes and gets to her desk and works. "We had 27 clients with heavy cases like Nathan's of rape, murder, and such terrible crimes... This basically was the convict's firm? Why would George and Michael take such cases?" She thinks as she walks to Michael's office with her reports.
"Michael if I may, why do you take on such cases? You know these monsters are guilty?" She asks.
"Are you saying Nathan was guilty?" Michael fires back.
"No he wasn't." Andrea replies almost angry as he shouldn't compare Nathan to these criminals.
"You want to know why?" Michael asks seeing that Andrea is unhappy with his answer.
"Yes" she says as she sits down.
"These guys, most where in Nathan's exact shoes as they are framed for these crimes as a cover up for some mafia gang. They go by "The Eclipse" there's been multiple counts of mass murder caused by this gang no one knows who there leader is as his face keeps changing he's a master if disguise." Michael says as he pulls out a picture of a familiar shadowy figure.
"That's... Marcus Rossi!!" Andrea vividly remembers that face, those rings, those tattoo's there's not a single doubt in her mind... It's him!
"You mean that bartender who turned out to be the club owner?" Michael asks as he also remembers him. "It's not confirmed because no one's caught him in the act, or there has been spies sent in on him but... They never live to tell the tale. He remains the king of Pourte Rico and now he's already taking his territory to America he's starting here in New Orleans then he's gonna spread and consume the whole continent. As soon as he does that no country can oppose him not even Russia... If Marcus isn't stopped we'll live in a world ruled by him..." Michael says as Marcus's grand plan has been revealed.
"Is there anything we can do?!" Andrea says as she realizes how terrible this situation is.
"Those clients I had, they all said they'd help bring down Marcus but after they saw how Nathan's case was absolutely destroyed they backed out as they fear Marcus so much they can't stand up against him... He used Nathan as an example to anyone that tried to oppose his reign would will be locked away for life." Michael says as he shows Andrea his attempts to appeal the case. "All my attempts to get Nathan out failed, they won't let him have a second chance until we bring undeniable proof."
"Is there anyway to find proof?" Andrea asks desperately trying to find something.
"It's not our department, we'd need a cop." Michael says as he closes the file.
"Fine we'll get the police involved." Andrea tries to bring up a counter point.
"The case was closed and it's been archived, we can't reach it... I'm sorry Andrea..." Michael was about say what were all thinking.
"Don't say it..." Andrea cuts him off him refusing to accept it. "There has to be a way, I won't lose Nathan like I lost my father by the hands cancer. I won't let Nathan die in that cell!!" She says her cries changes to anger then to tears of regret in one burst. "Wait I know someone..." she realizes.
"Officer Jameson can help!!" She says her lighting up from the sun behind Michael.
It cuts to black
