Light In The Darnkness (Glamrock Freddy X Reader)

James

You sat with your daughter on the couch as James inspected literally every crevice of the house. You had to resist the urge to roll your eyes. He wouldn't find anything. Riley took the plushies your daughter had gotten from the group and hid them at her place. You had left your uniform at work in a locker. And the meds were hidden so...

Yeah he was just wasting his time.

You really didn't miss him. You didn't miss his short blonde hair or empty vacant hazel eyes. He was well built and if he wasn't such a peice of shit you'd still consider him an attractive male specimen. But now you despised everything about him.

And looking at him made you sick.

You missed Freddy's electric blue eyes... his embrace. You wished you were back with your friends. They'd probably be performing right about now.

After what felt like forever he finished his search and now glared down at you.

"Hmm. Guess things seem fine so far. But all month I've had a really bad feeling like you were doing shit behind my back. Probably cheating on me like a little hoe" He huffed.

"I haven't done a thing..."

Except get a job and make four amazing friends. And you were indeed technically cheating on him but oh well. You knew he'd cheated on you plenty a times. Girls had left you many subtle hints. So you really didn't feel bad.

"Did I say you could speak?"

Shit.

You shook your head no and stared down at your lap.

Thankfully he didn't do anything he just sighed heavily and walked away.

"I'm gonna take a shower. Be useful and Heat me up something to eat."

You felt your whole body relax as he walked away.

You wanted to leave so badly.

You looked to your daughter to make sure she was okay. She gave you a reasurring smile and you gave her a brief hug before doing as you were told.

You hated doing shit for him but you'd rather avoid getting hit. Especially with y/d/n around.

You made the easiest thing you could think of. Spaghetti and meatballs. Your daughter liked it and james wouldn't complain.

It was kinda unfortunate that things turned out like this with James. He really had portrayed himself as the perfect guy when you two met in senior year. He had sisters and a mom who he showed a lot of respect too. But when it came to you...

It was different. He just wanted to control you and treat you like you were beneath him.

And he did it in segments.

He love bombed you and manipulated you and got you to cut yourself off from your family and friends. Then if he ever hurt you he'd love bomb you some more afterwards.

It was a cycle and a pattern thay you realized too late.

Because once you two were legally married... it got worse. He took the marriage as a full proof way of owning you.

Love bombing became less frequent and you had no one to reach out to.

You'd almost killed yourself once or twice even went to self harm. But you were to scared to go through with any plans.

Then after hours of coercing you, he got you to agree to have sex and in time you learned you were pregnant.

At that point leaving was impossible because well you couldn't provide for yourself. You had to depend on him.. and you wouldn't kill yourself when you had another living person inside you.

And basically over time things just got worse and worse and you were trapped.

This is the closest you've been to getting away. So you truly hoped this would work.

And tonight you'd test it.

You set up the table and mixed 1 and a half pills into his drink.

When he came out of the bathroom you were serving the food.

Without a word he sat down and began to eat. You gave your daughter some food and she waited for you before eating her own plate.

You watched James like a hawk. Tensing each time he took a drink worried he'd notice the drug.

"Bitch quit staring at me."

You averted your gaze quickly.

Oops.

Your daughter and you looked at eachother. She knew what you had done. You didn't hide it from her.

It was sad but in this environment she was forced to be a bit more mature and grown up for her age so you were always straightforward with her when needed. If only for her own safety.

You'd also stocked up on a lot of sleeping pills for this. Using your own money for food to get them. So you truly hoped this would work.

And if it did you'd give them to him at each dinner. Because by the time they kicked in he'd be going to bed.

You really could just as easily kill him. But that would be found in an autopsy so sadly you couldn't.

Bedtime rolled around and James had been yawning almost nonstop.

You put your daughter to bed and told her not to leave her room under any circumstances.

"Hun if this works... mommy will continue going to work at night. But if at any point in time James wakes up while I'm at work... never leave this room. You stay asleep. If he wakes you and asks where I'm at just tell him where I am okay? I don't want him to hurt you and I'd rather he come for me than you get hurt..."

"But I don't want you to get hurt..."

You thought for a moment. "That's why you tell him where I am. Freddy and the others will have my back."

You hoped thay would be enough to satisfy her and it seemed to do the trick.

"I know Freddy will keep you safe."

You turned her in kissing her lightly on the cheek. You closed her door as you left her room and went into yours and James's room.

He was out. For a second you were worried he was dead but unfortunately he proved to be alive when he began to snore rather loudly.

You sneered in disgust but got into bed next to him. You stayed up all night making slight noises here and there to see if he'd wake up. Usually he was a light sleeper so when he didn't wake up at any point in time you felt underly relieved.

Perhaps this would actually work...

(Fun fact: when I first introduced James I really just thought of the first name that came to mind XD and oh!? Another chapter. Damn I'm on a rolllllll ahaha it's 1am and I'm not tired at alllll just feeling a tad bit 🤪)
