this?”
That seemed to get through to her and she nodded slowly.
“I don’t really know. I went to the bathroom and then there was someone there with me. He told me he was planning a surprise for Thomas and then he gagged me, covered my eyes…”
She hiccuped and sobbed. I watched as she covered her face with her hands and struggled to get her emotions under control. And for the first time in a long time I felt a twinge of guilt over what I was doing. She loved Thomas as much as I loved Bella. And I was keeping her away from him in what could be his final moments…
I squashed the emotion as far down inside myself as I could. I couldn’t let it get in the way, it would be a mistake.
“Next thing I knew I was up in the honeymoon suite on the bed. Thomas burst in and there was a fight. He tried to fight him off but Thomas isn’t like that, he doesn’t like violence… And then…”
She paused again, her eyes widening and I knew she was reliving the moment. It would stay with her for ever and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
“And then?”
I prompted her along, I had to get as much information out of her before the cops came in and ruined everything.
“Thomas stood up, he was right in front of the window… And then he was gone, he just pushed him out the window. He disappeared out the window… I can’t get his face out of my head… The look of surprise on his face and then nothing…”
She broke down completely and I knew I wouldn’t get anything else from her. She collapsed against me, her face buried in against my chest. I had no choice but to hold her, it was either that or let her slide to the floor.
The door swung open violently and her brother strode into the room. I could see the bruise that was beginning to swell on his jaw, the place where I had hit him.
I didn’t try and stop him as he drew back full force and punched me. If I was him I’d have done the same, I was a jerk after all. The blow knocked me backwards onto the couch and he came after me. Stacey was in a heap on the floor, her crying reminding me of someone who was broken. And maybe she was.
“You leave her the hell alone. Do you hear me?” He wrapped his hands into my shirt, ripping some of the buttons free and tearing it at the seams. I didn’t fight him, I had what I’d come for.
“Will, leave him, he just wanted to know what happened, he wants to find who did this.”
Stacey spoke up from her place on the floor. Instantly Will released me and turned to his sister. I watched as he gathered her up into his arms and carried her from the room. He was a good man, probably always wanting to do the right thing by everyone. People like that couldn’t survive in my world, people like Christopher would simply chew them up and spit them back out.
All I could hope was that when I found Bella, she would be able to forgive me for what I’d become. I could only hope she would love the monster I now was… For her.
The hospital corridor was practically empty as I sat and waited for news on Thomas. His family sat at the opposite end and I wasn’t welcome, not after my earlier display. None of them truly understood what I had been doing with Thomas anyway. He hadn’t ever shared it, and the little he had shared with people didn’t explain why he needed such an asshole hanging around.
Burying my face in my hands I contemplated going for another cup of coffee, the stuff was more like tar but at least it was something to do. Hospital was the worst place on earth to end up. I’d always hoped that when my time came it wouldn’t involve lying in a hospital bed.
The sound of shoes hitting the vinyl flooring drew my attention upwards. Will strode towards me, a look of distaste and something I couldn’t quite put my finger on, etched across his features. He stopped in front of me and I waited for him to speak. He was probably going to tell me that I had to leave, that I wasn’t welcome there… But I didn’t
