In a brand-new interview with the Daily Mail, Bobbi Kristina Brown‘s boyfriend, Nick Gordon, recalls the tragic events leading up to finding her unresponsive in the bathtub in their shared Georgia home. “I can’t blame myself for another addict’s addiction but I feel like I failed her. She didn’t make it. I wish she got help,” he told the publication of their substance abuse struggles. “I wish she got my spot [in rehab]. I did not protect her the way that I was supposed to — even if it was from herself.”

As he began retelling the story, he revealed that he was hanging out with some friends until almost 4 a.m. "Krissy thought I was with some other females and that's when she got upset. She called and said I had to come home," he said.

"I saw a couple of bottles of wine," Nick said, noticing that Bobbi Kristina already seemed "messed up" by the time he got home. "I thought she had just been drinking, maybe smoked a little. She was upset, we
got into a little argument and then we made up and went upstairs and lay on the bed for about 45 minutes and did what adults do."

After reconciling, Nick said he went downstairs to go play on his game station. "She got up and was doing her own thing. She was getting up and getting dressed." But he goes on to remember what happened next around 10 a.m.

"The Xfinity [cable] guy came and had to do a bunch of stuff in the house and and I had my friend Max [Lomas] walk around with him because he had to change all the boxes and I wanted to make sure he's not stealing anything or taking pictures. So [Max] walked him into my room to show him the box in there. He knocked on the door and didn't hear a call from Krissy."

"He knocked on the bathroom and still didn't hear a call from Krissy and that's when he found her in the bathtub. Then he calls my name," the 25-year-old said. "I'm sorry this is hard."

"I knew instantly something was wrong. you know there's a tone; you can hear it in someone's voice," Nick said. "I ran to my room and then I saw my girl on the floor. It was so traumatizing. I dropped to my knees and kept giving her chest compressions and blowing into her mouth," he said. Nick claims he believed he saved her just in time, as she started spitting up some water. "I thought
she was going to come around but that never happened."
