bleeding because the artery opened up. That’s why I was talking gibberish, Leighton. I never meant those awful things I said earlier.” She is getting herself into a state again over her previous behaviour.
It makes me feel guilty as sin for the way I have reacted. I hadn’t taken a second thought to talk to her doctor and find out why she would be saying things like that. It wasn’t like her so why would I have assumed she would turn so heartless and cold so quickly? I should have known, I’m her fucking husband and I should have known something was seriously wrong.
“I’m sorry for the way I behaved angel, I shouldn’t have walked out.” I kiss her forehead and pull her to me again. “We’re a right pair aren’t we?” I giggle a little as she uses her good arm to tickle my sides.
“Anyways, how do you feel now Abigail, after the whole thing with your dad?” She flinches at the word.
“Don’t call him that! He is nothing like you are with Mel, you’re a real father,” she tells me and it warms my heart to know she thinks of me as a good parent.
“I’m sorry. How do you feel after the thing with him?” She relaxes a little into me but her body still feels solid against my side.
“What can I say? I’m happy, over the moon with excitement that he is dead? To be honest Leighton, I don’t know, I don’t know if his being dead will stop the nightmares now. Just the thought of him having his hands on our daughter makes me sick to my stomach. Every time I enter her room I’m going to see him with her, that fucking gun pointed at her.” She shivers in repulsion, shakes raking her as she replays the shooting in her head. It is clear as daylight that that is what she is doing.
I try to keep the rage I still feel at bay; even with the fucker gone he is able to stir a raw hatred for humanity within me. You can’t trust anyone; you need to make your own opinion of people before you allow them any kind of position within your life.
HE WAS HER FATHER. What kind of person does that, hurts a child for his own sick pleasure? I can’t even begin to understand what he must have been thinking for his entire lifetime. I am just glad I got there and got my girl back before something bad happened.
“I know baby. He can’t hurt you anymore and I will make it my every objective to keep anybody who will harm you, away from you, or I’ll die fucking trying.” I sigh as she looks up to me for the first time since sitting with her.
“I love you, Leighton. With every breath I take, every step I take on this earth, every beat of my screwed up, damaged heart, I am yours. You own me, baby. You own everything I was, am and will be. I am alive because of you and I will never be able to repay you for the life you have given me.”
“Abigail, you are the most precious thing to me on this planet. With you and our children by my side I don’t need anything else. I love you too, so much it hurts to see you in pain.” I lean in and kiss her lips. I know everybody will think I am disgusting for going near them after her puking session, but I need to taste her lips and feel the warmth they can give me.
“I need to see Mel, I miss her so much. And Joe, is he okay?” she tells me and I smile brightly at her, pulling my phone from my pocket. I dial Ant’s number and wait for him to answer.
“Everything alright mate?” he answers breathily and I don’t even want to know what he was doing.
“Abbi is okay, Ant. She just wants to see Mel and Joe. Could you bring them up as soon as you can?” It is a wanker thing to do, to stop a man from having sex, but when it is Georgia I will stop her from ever having intercourse if I can.
“Sure thing, I’ll just get her ready and wake Joe up and then head up. Is it okay for Georgia to come?” he asks me through the phone and I can hear her giggling in the background.
“Of course, she’s my sister, dipshit. Bye.” I hang up the phone and place it on the side
