Chapter 37: Breakout

*you're pov*

I slowly turned over and a wave of pain hit my chest and back. I looked and saw nothing, 'he must've squeezed me till I passed out. My back hurts, probably a cracked rib and some bruises. ' I slowly sat up and looked around the room.

I was in a large comfortable bed with many soft blankets keeping me warm. At the desk on the other side of the room was Wyatt his familar ginger hair would normally make me feel safe. But I started to remembered everything he told me.

"So it was you this whole time, you told the world Nobles about Molly and the crew. THEY TRUSTED YOU!"

"AND THEY WERE FOOLS!" He jumped up causeing the chair to fly across the room. He grabbed my wrist and held them with a firm grip. 

"Everything I did was for us!"

"What about Belle? What did she do to deserve to die."

"She didn't you're right but, that only happened because of you. I would've never had to kill her if you had just listen to me and left the island behind. I asked you to leave with me, but you were to worried about being a mother you forgot you were a killer. I felt disgusted and you were so weak, look at you. You couldn't even fight me off, you use to be our commander. Strong, fearless, a leader I watched you do what was necessary and I fell in love with that!" He let me go and put his hand on my cheek.

"It was a lie." I whisper.

"Huh?"

"IT WAS A LIE! I was always scared I just hid my weakness with anger and I told you all it was for the best. I was just too weak to fight back. JUST LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!" I must've pissed him off because next thing I knew he hit me across the face.

Everything happened so fast I didn't even know it till I felt the sting on my face. And opened my eyes to the floor below me.

"IM SORRY! I didn't mean to i just-"

"Don't touch me! You are not the man I married,  STAY AWAY FROM ME!" I put my hand on my face feeling the sting of his hit

"So what you find out who I really am and you're just gonna break your vows how fickle." He threw me on the bed and trapped me under him.

"What happened to till death does do us part, you find one hiccup in the road and you call it quits. What did you never actually love me, I was just something temporary to entertain you."

"Of course not, I-I"

"So why- why do you feel the need to hurt me so? I did all this because I love you." He dragged his fingers through my hair. Something i never thought I'd get to feel again, but knowing what he did made his touch feel cold. He was no longer the gentle caring man that had know, he'd change, or maybe he'd always been that way and I just never noticed.

I looked him i felt pity, I never actually knew him yet I claimed to love him. I'm not sure who's worse me for being ignorant or him for wanting to cause me pain and misery. I had no idea what to do so I did what I always did, I wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered.

"Im sorry Wyatt, I thought I knew who you were I made assumptions about who you were and never took the opportunity to actually know you."

He was shocked by my hug and immediately pushed me off and stepped away.

"This is exactly what I'm talking about!"

Both of our attention turns to the sound of footsteps running towards the room. They stopped then loud banging came from the other side of the door.
