Finding my angel, facing my demon

Trouble in paradise

"Hi there, beautiful." She said to Alison in a manly voice. I would've laughed if I didn't find the situation so irritating.

"Hi." Alison replied curtly as she rested more into my shoulder, trying to keep me anchored in my chair.

"Do you plan on leaving with her or would you be willing to have some fun with a real woman?" She sat back on the stool next to Alison. That was the last straw for me. I had put up with this bitch's shit for long enough, even though she had only been there for like a minute. She was beyond annoying.

"She likes women, that is why she's with me. If she wanted a man then she would go and find a real one." I laughed and hopped off my barstool to confront the woman but Alison stood in front of me.

"Let's go home." Alison told me as she pushed me backwards towards the door. I agreed.

"What's wrong, honey, afraid you'll like it?" The 'woman' said as she reached out and grabbed Alison's ass. Alison spun around giving me just enough time to snake around her and push that fat bitch off her chair. She fell backwards onto the ground.

"Hey bitch, you have anything else to say?" I asked the woman on the ground. She struggled to get up.

"You'll regret that." she warned. I couldn't help but laugh at her.

She might've severely outweighed me but I could kick her fat ass. I had been in all sorts of boxing and self defense classes since I was a kid, due to an over protective father. She lunged at me but I easily dodged her before grabbing the back of her shirt and throwing her into the bar. I couldn't believe what that fat bitch did next. She actually tried to hit me. She missed, obviously but she immediately followed it with another on that hit me right in the lip. I hit her a couple of times and she was soon lying on the ground. Too bad in the mean time we had broken several glasses and at least one table.

"Sorry about that, Hanna." I said as I licked the blood from my lip. "Let me know how much I owe you."

Another woman, much like the first, walked up to me, while the first was being kicked out by the bouncer. At first I thought she was going to try to hit me but she didn't look too aggressive.

"My uncle is the chief of police. He is going to hear about this." she threatened.

I couldn't help but laugh in her face. "Tell him that Em from the district attorney's office says hi. He knows where I live if he has any questions."

I know the chief of police well from the time I had gotten an internship in the DA's office when I was a teenager, a position my father got me. The second girl stormed off in an angry fit. She did know shit and her uncle certainly was not the chief of police.

I wiped at my bloody lip with a napkin while I flexed my hand, no broken bones. That's always a plus. I reached out for Alison hand but she pushed me away and headed towards the door.

"Go after her. I can deal with this." Hanna told me as she walked around the bar to clean up the broken table.

I did as she said and I chased after Alison. She was seated in the passenger's seat of my car waiting. She refused to speak to me on the whole ride home but she sure as hell had a lot to say as soon as we walked into the house.

"What the fuck were you thinking!" She yelled at me as soon as she had slammed the door behind us.

"Jesus, Alison, I just hit her. What the hell did it look like I did?" I wasn't angry at her for being upset but I definitely didn't understand her either.

"You had no reason to..."

"The fuck I didn't." I said before she could finish her sentence. "She grabbed your ass and you don't think I had any reason to hit her. She is lucky she got to leave that place on her feet. If this had been before she would've been out of there in an ambulance or a hearse. I couldn't believe the nerve on her."

"You don't get it do you?" She asked in bewilderment. I had no idea what the hell she was talking about.

"No I don't, actually." I was calm. I couldn't fight with her. I didn't want to.

"Em, I can't have you hitting anyone who starts a problem."

I could see tears about to fall from her eyes.

"I don't know what to say, Alison. I can't let people hurt you like that. I won't. I'm sorry if you think that I did the wrong thing but I thought what I did was for the best." I walked towards her to hold her but she backed up, kind of like she was scared of me.

"No, Em. This isn't just going to go away because you're sorry." She turned on her heels and went towards the bedroom.

I was torn. I had one of two options. 1) I could follow her to the bedroom and risk continuing the fight and making her upset more upset. Or. 2) I could go to one of the guest rooms and risk letting the whole thing continue on bad terms. Either way I was probably fucked, and not getting fucked, but I decided to go make things right, even if I still thought that I was right. So I went up the bedroom slowly. I didn't chase her or run after her. I walked slowly, giving her time to calm (and me time to formulate a plan).

"Alison." I said gently as I reached the door. She was sitting on the bed crying. I was glad I had decided to follow her. "Baby, I'm sorry. I should've thought more about what you wanted. It was wrong of me."

I walked over and I knelt in front of her before taking her hands in mine.

"I don't care that you hit her, Em. I care that she could've hurt you. You can't beat everyone and one day you're going to learn that the hard way. I was afraid for you." She pulled her hands from mine and turned around in the bed.

"Baby I didn't mean for you to get scared but I do understand now. Please forgive me." I spoke but I got no answer so I got in the bed behind her.

I tried to hold her but she pushed me away. So I gave up, yes I gave up. There was nothing left for me to do. So I went to the closet and changed out of my outfit like she had. I decided to actually put clothes on since I didn't think she'd want me naked. I pulled on a pair of short cotton short and a simple tank top before crawling back into bed. I made one more attempt and I was slightly more successful. I got my arm all the way around her before she told me she wasn't in the mood to cuddle or anything else. I took that as to get out your not sleeping in here. I got up and went to the guest room and went to sleep.
