No Escape

She put her phone back in her pocket and went upstairs. She walked into her room and found Jack laying on the bed drinking a can of beer.

“Hey hun, is Lee out?” she asked as she sat next to him.

“Dunno, why do you wanna know, do you fancy him now?” he asked sternly as he took another gulp of his beer.

“ No, I was just askin’ that’s all. Fuckin’  hell Jack what’s gotten into you lately?” she asked as she looked at him frowning slightly and raising her voice.

“Don’t you raise your voice to me, you got that?” he stated as he sat up pointing his finger in her face. She pushed it out of the way and said:

“Look Jack, I’m goin’ out tonight. Don’t know what time I’ll be back so don’t wait up and I’ll sleep on the sofa.” she then went to stand up but as she did he grabbed her wrist.

“So now I’m not good enough to sleep wiv, is that it?” he asked raising his voice and slamming his can onto the bedside table. She looked at the can then at him as his grasp grew tighter.

“Jack, you’re hurtin’ me, let go.”

“Is that why you’re sleepin’ on the sofa?”

“No, I said I’ll sleep on the sofa so I don’t wake you up that’s all. No other reason.” she shouted at him trying to get loose of his grip but he didn’t let go.

“Don’t you fucking shout at me you stupid little woman.”

“Ok, should I just not go out then?” she asked timidly as she looked at him.

“What so you can turn around and tell everyone that I don’t let you go out?”

“No, I just…forget it.”

“Forget what? What were you gonna say about me?”

“You’re hurtin’ me Jack, please, let go.”

He then grabbed her round the waist and threw her onto the bed and knelt over her and then sat on her so she couldn’t move and pinned her arms down onto the bed.

“What were you gonna say?”

“Nufin’, Jack please let go.” she cried as tears began falling down her face.

“Who you goin’ wiv?”

“Lisa and Taylor. Look it’s gonna be my first time out down town. I really wanna go out, please?” she pleaded as he knelt over her.

He got off of her, she quickly stood up and before she cried anymore she ran into the bathroom and took a shower. When the water started running she cried silently to herself. She couldn’t understand what she had done to make him turn on her like that.

Just then the bathroom door opened and Jack walked in.

He got  under the shower with her. At first when he walked towards her she moved away slightly but when he put his arms round her she turned round, faced him and sank into his chest and stopped herself from crying as she didn’t want him to see her cry.

“I’m sorry Rach, I just thought that when you said you would sleep on the sofa that basically you’d meet someone else, bring him home or go back his and then stop liking me.” Jack explained as he hugged her tight.

She wiped her eyes and looked up at him.

“Jack, I’d never do that, do you really think if I was like that that I would move in wiv you? I love you Jack, I‘ll never want anyone but you.” she replied as she kissed him.

“I love you too. Sorry Rach, am I forgiven?” he asked her softly, but hugging her tightly as he kissed her on the forehead. As he held her she had no choice but to forgive him, she didn’t want to lose him.
