Mae's POV:
"Honey, I'm home!" *Mae's husband shouts out, as he closes the front door* "Coming down in a minute babe." *Mae rolls her eyes, breathing in an angered breath*
*A loud slam startles Mae*
Mae's mind: "What the hell is he upset about now?"
*Malcolm throws a wineglass to the ground*
*Mae walked out her bedroom, tiptoeing downstairs*
"Are you okay?" *Mae asks, trying to force a grin*"Um, no, actually I'm not okay." *Malcolm scrunches up his face* "Well, what's new?" *Mae whispers to herself*
*Her husband looked at her, beginning to laugh softly*
"What did you just say?" *Malcolm scratches his chin, sucking his teeth*
*Mae said nothing. She stood completely still, feeling the fast beating of her heart*
"Nothing." *Mae said softly, her voice shaked* "I heard you say something." *His head tilts to the right* "But I did no-" "If you're woman enough to mumble, you're woman enough to speak clear." *Malcolm expresses*
*Mae sighs, taking a deep breath. She then repeats what she said under her breath*
"Mm, that's what I thought you said." *Malcolm chuckles* "I- I didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry honey. Can I get you anything?" *Mae tries to back away* "Nah, stay right there. I got something for you." *Malcolm's voice deepened, sending chills down Mae's back*
*BOOM*
"Honey?" *Mae cries out* "Honey? Now I'm honey? You've struggled to call me that for years, but now I'm honey?" *Malcolm slowly walks up to Mae, firing his glock once more to the ceiling* "I-I" *Mae struggles to speak* "I love you Mae- Mae. But, I'm just so tired of you. I should've left you, just like your mother did."
*Those words made Mae's blood boil*
"You sick son of a bitch!" *Mae screams* "Oh, you got balls now. Huh?! You wanna dance bitch?" *The room is now silent. Malcolm's expression is stone cold* "Please, don't! I'm sorry!" *Mae screams*
*Malcolm takes a deep breath*
"One." "Honey, please." *Mae cries out, backing away even further* "Two." *Mae, trips over her husband's shoes* "TEN!" *Mae runs upstairs, Malcolm chases after her*
