Make Me Breathe

Chapter 75

"Sit." He brings me into the kitchen and points to the chair. I scowl at him.

"I'm going to tell you the complete and utter truth, and I don't want you to say anything until I'm done, deal?" I look at him, still scowling, "deal." I say through clenched teeth.

"I met her at the funeral, she was great ! She was nice and I thought she would make a really great friend for you. I was going to bring her over to you but then she patted my crotch. She grabbed my tie and brought me into the bathroom. She pulled off my shirt and..."

"You guys had sex." I say

"....yes, but it didnt mean anything. She said if she paid me to have sex with her on a regular basis, she would pay 1,000 dollars every time. I figured we needed the money..."

My jaw drops. "You mean-"

"We made a deal." he interrupts.

"I'm so sorry, it means nothing, and with all those hospital bills, I, we,cant afford it. Please forgive me."

"So you are having sex with another girl, so she pays you?" I ask

"I'm sorry, it means nothing."

I get up and pack my clothes.

"What are you doing?"

"We need a break." I say

"You can't leave us. Where are you going?" he asks

I sigh

"I...away from you." I say standing up straight.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, we needed money for Talia."

"And that's the best you could do?! You couldn't get a job, a loan, no you go off and fuck some random stranger you met at a funeral! Im sorry, but that hurts me!"

"Beth-"

"Wouldn't you be crushed if I went out and had sex with another guy every week?!"I shout

"That's different..."

"It's no different!"

I get my things and start my car. I sit there knowing my baby girl is in there with that dick head.

I open my door and go back inside to Talias' room.

"I'm sorry" I kiss her forehead,and make my way to my car.
