The fights ... They fight almost every night . Fight about how little time he spends at home. Fight about how she doesn't need a job . Fight that all she is meant to be is a trophy wife , wearing dresses that cost more than college tuition and weddi...
The door opened to the apartment and she walked out to see Ben , texting on his phone and throwing his keys on the counter .
"Nothing but a trophy wife ?" Rey asked when he walked in.
"Pardon ?" He asked .
"Nothing but a trophy wife ! Those were some of the last words you ever said to me before my accident... Followed with 'I hate you too'" Rey snapped .
"Rey ... How do you know that?" He asked .
"That song that was on my piano ... It talked about it ... The journals I used to keep ... It's coming back ! All the stupid ass things you've done !"
"Rey calm down -"
"You're a drunk... A filthy drunk ... You drink and drink and drink ... You flirt with other women ... What happened on my 21st birthday ?"
"You turned 21-"
"No ... You kissed another woman ... You kissed someone at my party ... My birthday party ... "
"Rey I -"
"Save it ! You're a filthy drunk who cheats ... And I can't believe I allowed myself to be married to you for all this time !" She was growing red in the face and her voice was higher "I loved you ... You know that last time you said you love me to me was almost as year ago ..."
"You never say that you love me -"
"No ! That's a lie ! A huge fucking lie ! I checked my phone ... I sent you 'I Love You' texts every day ... You would reply 'you too' or wouldn't answer... "
"I'm stressed -"
"How on earth are you fucking stressed ? You're a millionaire... No a billionaire... You own several thriving clubs and bars in the city ... Have your own line of Cologne for men and you're a producer on your own show ! You're an Oscar winner ! You have an Emmy and the lowest any of your movies have ever gotten on rotten tomatoes is a 92% ! How the fuck can you be stressed ?" She asked "you have a career ... A wife who lets you fuck up every day who loves you nonetheless ... A wife who is making herself a music career so you have something to be proud of ! To prove that you're not just interested in a pretty face ! So how the hell are you stressed ?" She asked , angry and hateful ... Spitting the words with hate .
"My father has cancer okay!" He yelled walking away.
"What?" Rey asked .
"My father has cancer !" Ben snapped sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand .
Rey walked over to stand in front of him "how come you never told me ?"
"Because this a family thing -"
"I am family Ben ... I am your wife ... He's my father-in-law... I helped him plan Leia's 50th birthday and their 30th anniversary party "
"I know but this is a Solo thing -"
"I am a Solo ... My legal name is Reyhanne Alessandra Kenobi Solo... I took your last name ... Don't you remember ? Announcing Mr. And Mrs. Benjamin Solo... Why didn't you tell me ?"
"Because you don't need to know -"
"My husband is a drunk because his father has cancer ... Don't you think I would want to know ? No correction need to know" she sat down across from him on the coffee table .
"You don't need to know shit Rey ! You're 21... Your suppose to be out partying and going to clubs not worrying about your father in law!"
"No ... Because you're the one who's out parting and going to clubs !"
"I have to get rid of my stress some way-"
"You know ... Some people take up painting or working out ! Not drinking themselves half blind!"
"It's the only thing I know ... You wouldn't understand ... You're only 21-"
"Only thing you know ? You used to write Ben ... You would write screen plays and scripts ... About some of the best stories ever ... Why didn't you do that anymore ?"
"Because Rey !" He yelled "because I'm not enough for anyone ! My scripts are fucking trash ! My ideas are worse than a little kids ! I'm a useless actor who gets played as the pretty boy and that's all I'll ever be to the public ! And the fact that drinking hides all my faults and my father makes it ten times more appealing!"
"You're drinking tore us apart ! It left me in a loveless marriage! And the only person here that deserves to drink is me ! My husband is a liar and a cheater and keeps things from me!"
"I do them to protect you!" Ben yelled .
"Protect me from what ? Wanting to help my father in law and mother in law in there times in need ? Wanting to be there for my husband ? Wanting to be there and love him!" She shouted .
"Protect you from me being gone helping back home ! From being with my father and not being with you !"
"You go to bars every night and get wasted ... How's that staying with me ?! I rather you be with your father then making out with other women!" She stood up marching out.
"I do those things because I don't know how to react !"
"No ... It's because you don't love me Ben ... You haven't for a long time ... Look Ben ... Look at the picture !" She pointed to the wall where their wedding photo was , their eyes in the photo filled with happiness. "Then look at all these ! You're distant ... Your eyes and body language say it all... You don't have to tell me that you don't love me because I know it!"
"You've lost your memories-"
"I'm remembering the important stuff ... And you know ... Right now I wish that I never got my memory back ... I wish I never wrote in those journals and that I never had seen that on the piano ! I wish I thought that you were a good husband ! I wish that I didn't realize how horrible you are to me ! I wish I never met you Ben Solo!" She screamed and then slammed their bedroom door.
-A.N.- I'm so bored ... Like I've been at the hospital all day doing nothing but holding Sonny... My sister in law is sleeping still and my mom and her mom are all out so I'm here holding the baby until my brother came back ... When r finally did I drove home and didn't look back !
