The Unhappy Bride

Scarred

"Mike." I said as he closed the door behind his self.

"Kayla what's going on?"

"I should ask you the same thing. Why were you at her house?"

"Kayla I needed help with something."

"What'd you need help with?"

"Makayla I-

"Bullshit! If you can't tell me then I'm done."

"Kayla can we talk alone please?"

"Only if you're going to tell me."

"I am." He said as he walked towards me.

"Give me five minutes Kyle. If you hear me or Mike scream then come back to me."

"Text me, let me know if you need me" Kyle said as he glared at Mike before he left.

"Kayla she was helping me plan something for you." He said as he laid next to me. I was a little hesitant but then again he's still my husband and I still love him.

"Why didn't you just say that." I said. We wouldn't be here right now if he'd just told me. Now I have to call Brice to apologize.

"What was that about?" Mike asked.

"What?"

"If you hear me or Mike scream come back."

"I'm scared." He had to know. We were bound to have this conversation, sadly it had to be today.

"Of what?" He said as he pulled me into him.

"Mike I really love you, but I can't shake the thought of you hurting me." I felt like my mom and he was my dad. I know I was being crazy but I'm tired of being hurt emotionally and now physically.

"Kayla, it's not going to happen again." He said as he kissed me. I didn't realize I was crying until he wiped my tears away. "It was an accident, I was upset. I promise Kayla it won't happen again." He continued.

"But what if it you get upset again, what happens then?"

"Kayla I mean it, it's not going to happen again, how can I prove this to you? Let me make it up to you."

"I don't know." I am a firm believer in the saying if you do it once, you'll do it again. Then again he might have changed, I could see that he was very compassionate and very gentle now. The thought of him hitting me still lingered on. I knew he was different but the thought of him hurting me again didn't escape my memory. His strong hands around my neck and my mom. It was all too much.

"Kayla I'm sorry baby, I really am." He said as I laid my head on his chest. He kissed my forehead.

"Promise me you won't hurt me." I said as I looked into his eyes.

"I won't baby, I promise." He said as he kissed me. The door opened slowly. Mike stayed in the bed as the nurse came in.

"Makayla."

"Yes."

"We have the X-rays from your leg and some other news."

"Okay."

"Your leg left is broken, you sprained your right ankle, you bruised your arms and you had a concussion."

"Well." I sighed as she put the clipboard down.

"You'll need to get a cast on your left leg."

"Okay."

"All we can do is bandage it you'll have to go to the orthopedic center get the cast."
