The Darkness Within

Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

Chantelle felt like she had been hit by a ton of bricks. She found it so hard to open her eyes, like fucking ouch. Finally able to slowly open them she looked around and cringed. Struggling as she tried to sit up. The fuck happened to her?

Like really fucking ouch, her body was aching, then it hit her. Avery was pregnant, Blaine was hurting an in turn he hurt her. It was the one thing she feared, the one thing she was waiting to happen ever since she returned here.

It happened, like she knew it would. Funny how everything she had tried to do to get Blaine to hurt her, he never really did hurt her. But when it came to the recollection of his family, yep, she didn't need to open her mouth. He would hurt her all on his own.

The way he changed, the way he became that man again. That monster just freaked her out. She was the example of his wrath. When his hurt took over nothing could bring him back. Chantelle pushing him for the last few months did not help matters.

Making her way into the bathroom Chantelle flinched when she saw her reflection. Oh god, she was back alright. She looked like a battered housewife. Good, let him look at her and see what he fucking did.

He would so be hating on himself right about now. Let him fucking suffer. Chantelle did not want to see him or Liam nor Avery.

The moment that Liam had said that they were pregnant, Chantelle knew what the outcome of that would be. She was that outcome, being beaten almost to death was the outcome of Blaine's hurt.

Blaine dished out his hurt on her as he always did. Two things that Blaine had no control over and it killed him, first being the reminder of his family, he would just lose his head, second being his jealousy where she was concerned. No control there either.

Chantelle shook her head and attempted to get out of the bed. Slowly but surely she managed to get into the bathroom and had a quick shower, she wore her bathrobe and moved into the room to rest. Her body was aching, it took so much effort to move around.

Hala walked with Priscilla and the moment she noticed her face she shook her head. The three of them sat on the bed. "He is like many men, they lose their head." Hala said after a while. She loved Hala, it was like having an aunty. "They idiots." Her broken English was so cute.

"I reckon all men in general are fucking idiots." Chantelle shrugged her shoulders. Hala agreed. Priscilla was rolling around all smiles. She kissed her fat white feet. After a while she asked Hala where Daniel was.

"Liam and Avery took him to the beach." Okay so they would definitely know just how bad of state she would be today. Great, this humiliation was ongoing it would seem. She must seem like the biggest fucking loser to the world.

Priscilla was getting restless after a while and Hala left to put her to sleep. As soon as Hala walked out the door Leanne walked in with a tray of food for her. "Fuck!" That was the reaction she got.

"Fuck off Leanne." Chantelle replied with no emotion.

"Um, have you seen your face?" She asked her clearly shocked.

"What do you think? Why act all surprised for, it's not the first time I've been this pretty?" She said sipping her juice. Leanne sat down on the sofa opposite her and shook her head.

"Yeah but not since... Not since you had Daniel, he has never hurt you this bad. That's really fucked up." Chantelle shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah well what can I say, I bring out the best in him." If Chantelle hated anything in this world it would be people taking pity on her. She did not want nor need it.
