Love hurts?

It's not what it looks like

Ocean's POV

Michael and I are at the store picking up some things for DJ and Michael suddenly stops "let's go this way" he motions me towards another isle "but the diapers are over there" I look at him confused then realise what he was doing. "Hello Ocean" my mother smiles through pursed lips "hi" I say coldly. I know at first I wanted to reconnect with my family but after they way they ignored me days after saying they wanted to see me again. I'm completely done with the. "He's getting big now" she says looking at DJ "yeah, babies do that" I snap about to walk off "Ocean can we please just..." I cut her off shaking my head "forget it! I already heard you out and I don't wanna hear anymore of your bullshit, ok?" I snap then turn walking away.

When we get in the car I'm still pretty pissed about what happened but in the way I feel kind of bad yelling at my own mother in a store like that. "Do you think I went to far?" I turn asking Michael "what!? No! You were right to yell at her like that especially after how they treated you" he tries to reassure me. "Oh fuck!" I sigh rolling my eyes "we forgot the diapers. "I'll go back inside you two just wait here" Michael smiles heading back into the store. While we're waiting I start feeling a little light headed so I open the glove compartment where Michael always had a bottle of water.

Michael's POV

"You ready to go?" I smile getting back in the car and turn to see Ocean looking even more pissed than when I left "we promised we wouldn't do this anymore" I look down and she's hold the bag of Coke Ray gave which I'd completely forgot about "that's not what it looks like, Ray gave it me awhile ago and I forgot it was even..." She cuts me off shaking her head "just take us home" she snaps "will you just hear me out?" She turns looking out of the window.

When we get back Ocean takes DJ and start heading upstairs. "I'm gonna put him down for his nap" she says coldly and I follow her "you know if you just let me talk" I snap as she brushes his past me going back downstairs and once again I follow her "no! I'm sick of everybody saying that" she snaps "can we talk? It's not what it looks like" she sarcastically says "will just stop being a fucking bitch and just listen!!" I yell at her "to what? We promised each other and we promised DJ. Clearly your promised don't mean shit!!" She yells heading for the stairs and I grab her arm pulling her back "I haven't broken any promises I swear!"

"Get your fucking hands off me!!!" She yells pushing my hand away then storms off upstairs "well fuck you too then!" I yell back dropping down on the sofa not bothering to follow her this time. She doesn't say anything then I suddenly hear a loud bang.

"What the fuck are you doing up there?" I frown confused heading upstairs to our bedroom. "Ocean!!!" I panic rushing over to her and she on the floor unconscious.

Ocean's POV

I open my eyes and Michael has his arms around me. "What happened? Are you ok?" I hold the side of my head feeling really groggy. "I tripped over some clothes. I must have fell into the dresser" I mutter. When I move my hand it's covered in blood and Michael picks up a t-shirt off the floor holding it onto my head. "My arms killing" I wince and Michael helps me up into the bed "just wait here, I'm gonna go get DJ and we're going to the hospital"

Michael's POV

I called my mother once we got to the hospital. I told her what's happens and asked her to come and get DJ for us. The doctor said she had a slight conclusion and her arm is broken. But she'll be ok. "How are you feeling?" I ask sitting next to her on the bed putting my arm around her. "This is your fault!" She snaps at me "why would you leave your clothes all over the floor? And don't think I've forgot about the Coke" I sigh looking at the ground "I swear I didn't take any. Ray gave it me when I first went back to work. And I honestly forgot it was in there" I truthfully tell her "so why didn't you just say that?" She frowns "I tried!" I snap then take a deep breath calming myself "I'm sorry. And I''m really am sorry about leaving clothes all over. I know this is all my fault"

"I'm sorry I didn't for not listening" she mumbles. I'm about to speak when Sherri walks in "you two back again I see" she frowns looking over at me "so what happened?"

"I tripped and fell into the dresser" Ocean explains and she looks at her skeptically "and you expect me to believe that?" She frowns "it's true!" I snap knowing exactly what she's getting at "what are you even doing here anyway?" Ocean frowns "well I am a nurse in case you forgot? Believe me I don't get a kick out of coming in here because your boyfriend can't control his temper"

"Fuck you!! She just told you what happened!!" I yell then see my mother and Joseph through the window and go out to them "I'll be right back" I snap.

Ocean's POV

"So are you gonna tell me what really happened?" Sherri asked once Michael leaves the room "I just did" she sighs shaking her head "You have to press charges" I look at her confused "for what? why aren't you listening I fell and hit my head" I explain once again "Ocean, I spoke to your mother and she said she heard screaming and yelling. If he's hurting you then..." I cut her off shaking my head "he's not! How many times" I snap "and what's with this?" She asks looking at my chart "why does it say Jackson and not Thompson?"

"Because I'm not apart of your family anymore incase you forgot you all disowned me remember?" I don't mention that it's also because Michael and I are married because it was Joseph who signed my dads name and I know he'd get in a lot of trouble if anyone found out.  "we've been trying to talk to you but..." She starts to explain but I cut her off "I'm really not interested anymore" I say coldly and she sighs knowing she's not gonna get anywhere with me and leaves.

Michael's POV

I go out into the hall way and my mother takes DJ from me "so what happened?" Joseph asks and I explain that she fell and hit her head. My mother sighs shaking her head "Michael, I don't know what Ocean said or did but whatever it was you took it way to far" I look at her confused "you think I did this?"

"Well you do have a temper" I shake my head "I didn't do this!" I say getting more pissed and hurt my mother actually thinks I put my wife in hospital "Michael, I've seen you hit her before remember? and she hit into the dresser then too. what do you expect us to think?" Joseph says "I DIDN'T FUCKING HIT HER AND DON'T LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HIT HER BEFORE!!!" I yell at him pointing at my mother. "I swear on DJs life she fell. I wasn't even in the room" I sigh. "But..." My mother starts to say something and Joseph cuts her off "if Michael's swears on DJs life he didn't do it then he didn't do it...I'm sorry we didn't believe you" he mumbles finally believing me

Ocean's POV

I get into bed and Michael walks in quietly and climbs into the bed with me still clearly upset "it was and accident. You don't have to be so upset" I reassure him. "It's not that...I mean I am upset about what happened to you but..." He sighs taking a deep breath "everybody thinks I beat you and your just covering it up" he croaks trying not to cry "and I bet Sherri was telling you to leave me and stuff when I left the room" I pull him close to me and he starts sobbing "You and me both know you didn't do anything"

"But nobody believe us. And I know I've hit you before and I truly am sorry about..." I kiss him softly cutting him off "it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks ok? We know what happened and that's all that matters" I smile slightly "and as for the past, I've forgave you a long time ago.
