"N..nothing." damn I'm no good at lying. They'll see straight through me stuttering like an idiot. I never stutter in front of them."Come here Carly Bear."
"W..why?" fuck not again.
"Now Carly Bear!" he almost growled.
I shuddered, walking slowly over to him. I've never once seen Jonathan lose his temper like this. Okay so he's lost it before but I can see this being worse than the last and only one time he snapped.
I stood close to the bed. He shook his head. "A little closer, Carly Bear."
I took one last tentative step. "Can you get a tissue Cas?"
"Sure."
He picked up a tissue and dipped it into the water he ringed it out and gave it to Jonathan. I stood there nervously, something I had never felt in front of them before. He put his hand behind my neck and pulled me close, taking the tissue and wiping it across my neck to clear away all of the visual foundation and glared as he dropped the wet tissue and glared at me. "Who did this to you Carly Bear?"
"I..i.."
"Answer me Carly Bear."
"He.. He.."
"Where's Kyer?" Caspian asked.
"He went to talk to the doctor."
He nodded. He knew, the fucker knew.
"Did Ky do this?"
"He didn't mean it I swear he.."
"I'm going to fucking kill him."
"No, don't."
"Hey guys, what did I miss?"
He let go of my neck.
Kyler
Jonathan looked up at me with the eyes I never thought I would see again. They held a lot of anger issues once held a long time ago when he discovered he had PTSD.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?"
"Nothing I.."
"DON'T FUCKING LIE KY! SHE HAS BRUISING AROUND HER FUCKIGN NECK! CARE TO EXTREMELY N WHY THE HELL CARLY BEAR HAS A CHOCKING RING AROUND HER FUCKING NECK!"
"It's not what it looks like."
"IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW."
"Leave him Jonathan he didn't...."
"Shh I'm talking."
Carly glared at me but I didn't give a shit I wanted answers to the truth she was scared of giving. I stared coldly at Kyler "I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD EVER LAY A FINGER ON HER!"
"It's not, I swear. I was having a nightmare. And.... and Carly was lying next to me. I thought she was someone else. I was shouting out and I put her in a chokehold. I swear I don't mean to, I already apologised."
He looked concerned towards me. "When did this start happening?"
"When we returned from Africa."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because you had too much shit of your own to deal with. I thought I could handle the nightmares until last night it was worse than the others. When I hurt Carly when I realised I had to do something before I did something worse so I went to the doctor before I came here. She's sorting me out with a counsellor."
He nodded. "Good."
He breathed out relieved that I hadn't gone for him. If he hadn't told the truth I would've done it. Carly was only protecting him even though he could've done a lot worse he could have choked her to death. I'm not sure what happened last night but whatever she did had stopped him from killing her. If he had I would never have forgiven him I don't think he would've even forgiven himself.
