The Truth

Leigh-Ann

The next morning I decide to stay home.

Too exhausted and heartbroken to focus on anything other than the growing pain inside of me.

By noon I was in the kitchen with Amelia making cupcakes.

Turns out that I'm great at baking. I find it calming and enjoyable.

"Pass me the mittens Amy"

Amelia and I have grown close somehow. She's around my age so the bonding was easy and quick.

We've grown to nicknames and first name basis and yeah she no longer calls me Mrs Dovine.

The front door opens and I freeze on my way to placing to the cupcakes in the oven.

Jacob's here.

I really don't want to see him right now.

I pray he just goes straight to his room.

My prayer isn't answered because soon his presence fills the kitchen.

We make eye contact but I look away quickly.

"Good afternoon Mr Dovine. You're back early. Is everything alright?"

"Everything is fine thank you Amelia" but he isn't looking at her.

I feel his gaze on me the whole time but I busy myself with unnecessary tasks.

"Amelia please give us a minute" he tells her and she leaves.

What the hell does he want now?

"Leigh-An-"

"Don't you fucking dare call my name. Don't you dare" I say with venom in my voice.

He can't just think he'll talk me into believing whatever lie he wants to feed me.

I'm not a naive girl with amnesia.

His eyes darken with rage as he storms towards me.

Looking at him up close I notice the dark circles under his eyes and his tired look.

I won't let that faze me.

"Would you at least let me explain?" His voice is strained.

"I don't need your explanation. Tell it to the bitch you were fucking last night."

Then I'm storming out of the kitchen to my room but he follows.

I try to slam the door in his face but he just pushes it open.

"Fuck Leigh why are you behaving like this?"

I get more angry and take slow steps towards him.

"Why am I behaving like this?" I scoff angrily.

"The question here is why you are behaving like this Jacob. Giving me mixed signals. God, no wonder I hated you before. You are an asshole.

"Even though I might not be able to remember everything. I do remember that you were an asshole. You are an asshole and you always be an asshole"

I say each word jabbing my finger in his chest.

He grabs my finger and pulls me to him slamming me on the wall. Not too hard but enough for me to shut up.

"Listen here Leigh-Ann. I'm tired of all this bullshit. Yeah I'm an asshole, I've accepted it but I won't tolerate this type of attitude from you no matter how much of a pretty face you have" he whispers close to my face.
