My Hector?

I then entered the parking lot of a place that was once me and Hector's home. It saddened me to have to question if it was still our home.
I stopped thinking so doubtfully and cut off the ignition and began to walk up the path rather quickly.
I opened the door and I finally saw the man I had loved so dearly. I ran and hugged him so tight and I just couldn't let go. I couldn't speak, I couldn't breath, all I could do was cry in his arms and feel the fire forming in my lungs. He then loosened his grip and I knew I had to let go, but I didn't want to, I wanted to hold on as tight as I could so he would never leave again, so that I would never have to say another goodbye or have to see him walk out the door. I then let go rather slowly and I could feel that my lungs where beginning to take air again and the tears had stopped falling.
He then opened his mouth and began to speak, "I'm sorry Sky, I have some things I need to tell you, but first I need to know.... Will you always be by my side no matter what, like we said in our vows for better or for worse?"
The hesitation in his voice scared me. I was even afraid of the question as a whole. No matter what he said, would I still be by his side? Will I still see him as the same man I once married? I couldn't tell him yes nor could I tell him no. I wanted to be by his side forever, but first I needed to know what he had done. " Can you tell me what you did first?" I asked a little afraid of the answer. He then got rather tense and I was afraid of him perhaps hitting me, but I never thought he would do such a thing, Hector wouldn't even kill a fly.... But this wasn't Hector. What had happened to him, to make him become such a different person? His jaw then clinched and he began to say "Answer my question, Sky" now sounding a little less calm. "I do not know, it depends on what you are going to tell me" I then responded knowing he could hear the fear in my voice. He then got up and began walking to the door.
"Wait! Wait.... Where are you going?" The tears began to fall again, but these were no longer tears of joy. I found myself screaming for him. He then turned around and raised his hand and forcefully pushed me into the wall. Everything became rather dizzy and I could feel blood dripping from my head. Before I could say anything else I had blacked out. The last thing I remember is him looking over me.
-------------------------------------------
I open my eyes and I felt as if I had the biggest headache in history. But I'm no longer in my home. I'm in the back seat of a car and I'm moving. Had I been kidnapped? As soon as I was about to scream I realized my mouth is filled with a sock and I was tied up. I sit up and look at who is driving, never the less it was my partner Hector. He looks at me in the rear view mirror and he begins to talk to me as if me being tied up wasn't a problem "Hi babe, we are going to go on a little trip." My eyes then widened and he continues to say "...don't worry everything will be fine, we are going to live happily married, for better or for worse." I begin to cry harder than before. Had I married a crazy man? Was I no longer going to ever see my family, friends, or life again? Why would he hurt me? What happened to him? What did he do that would cause him to just up and leave?
I continue to cry and lay down, for there was nothing I could do, i'd been betrayed by a man I loved, and deep down I still loved him. Deep down I wanted to still be his woman and I wanted him to be my man forever. Although that is what my heart wanted I realized this was no longer my Hector. This was a man I did not know and didn't want to have any ties with.
