Only you (Book 2)

Hot headed

Scar POV

„Wanna tell me what happened?" I asked the kids after we sat down on the couch. They seemed really scared and I'd love to go up and see after Nora but I think she should have Lizzie by her side now and the kids need someone they know around them.

„we where getting ready this morning for school and someone knocked on the door. Mom got down to look and after a moment we heard a vase shatter." Quinn explained first.

„then we went down to look what happened and we saw mom pressed up against the wall and a man held her by her neck." chase added while she was waddling with her legs.

„can you tell me what he looked like?" I asked while taking their hands to squeeze them a bit.

„dark wavy hair. It was a bit messy and almost shoulder long." Quinn described and I had a feeling who it could be.

„He had a cap on with a dark jacket and a beard."
Chase added and I nod.

„If I show you a picture would you recognize him?"
I asked while pulling my phone out and they nod.

I looked for Lizzie's chat where I've send her some of the wedding pictures I made back then.
I showed it to the Quinn and chase and they nod eagerly.

„This is him. That one." they pointed out and my body started to boil.

Nora POV

„Why? Why would he do such thing?" she asked innocently but yet I can see something twitch in her face as if she has flashbacks of something she's trying to hide as well.

„Nora? What did he want from you and why did he approach you this way?" she asked now sounding a bit more demanding and my mind went into spiral once again.

„Your not helping me with this interrogation."
I cried out quietly feeling how I'm starting to panic again.

„I'm sorry but I need to know why it happened."
Her words sounded halfhearted and I shook my head shutting down once again. I could tell her but I won't. Not when I'm in this state of mind.
So it's for the best if I lie for now.

„I wish I knew." I answered while looking at her.
People say that it comes of as a lie if you don't look at someone but I gotta bring it out as if it the truth. I hate lying to her. I hate lying in general but this is... an emergency lie.

„So you don't know why he stormed into your house and choked you? What did he say? What did he want?" her questions feel like burning light on me as if I was sitting in the bright light of an interrogation.

„Can you stop asking me all these questions about him? Shouldn't you know what your husband is up to?" I got a bit louder and she leaned a bit back probably in shock why I snapped.

„I feel like shit already and you are not helping me right now with asking more and more. Everything I was trying to leave behind years ago is starting to crawl back and I don't- no I can't handle this right now."

„You can't run away from your past. People are gonna find out about you being alive eventually. Is this what we are to you? Am I and scar a problem?
Something you wanted to avoid? Then why are you showing up at a masked ball just to see us? Did- did you wanted to move further away and this was some sort of goodbye once again? You where the one who ran away by faking your own death.
You where the one leaving us. Leaving me. Out of nothing I didn't even get a letter or a text message." now she got louder as well and I feel like things just start pour out in a bad way. We both are emotionally overheated.

„You abandoned me. You made me grieve over you for such a long time. I've cried day and night knowing that I won't get any closure from you.
I would never understand why you did what you did just because you faked your fucking death. Do you know how that feels huh? Because to me it seemed like you've build up a great life with kids even. Where is your partner huh? I mean you must've had sex to you know get kids that look just like you." she almost yelled and I listen and felt ever single word she said as if i was stabbed by a dagger.

„That's enough." I whispered and she seemed surprised that I didn't scream back.

„Is it? Because I got a lot to say since I'm here-."

„I said ENOUGH!" I got louder now shutting her down so she would let me talk.

„You have no idea what I had to sacrifice. You have absolutely no idea how my time has been ever since I faked my death and spoiler alert I can tell you it wasn't easy and it wasn't good. So before you judge me start asking other questions like who made her do this? Because she definitely won't decide to do this on her own. Don't you think there must've been something or someone behind this? I can tell you there was and still is but I won't tell who because you know why? I'll tell you why.
I do it because of you. I did it because of you and I'll keep doing it for you because I can't even bare the thought that something might happen to you if I act towards my emotions. I'd rather fake my death again if it means that You'd be safe."
I took a deep breath after pouring my energy into every single word and she looked at me absolutely perplexed with glossy eyes. I hate to see her cry and even more that I am reason why she cry's but I can't keep everything inside me anymore.

„My kids where the only good in all this horrific mess. They where one of the few things that brought me joy and I am the ONLY ONE who raised them. There is nobody by my side and the other one isn't in the picture and never ever ever will be." I added and leaned back placing my hands in front of my face to rub my eyes cause I'm tired of her being so hot headed.
