Swinging With April

My Wife.

~Carina~
She better miss me. And she better be wearing something nice. Don't want to be embarrassed in front of more people because of her.
I haven't seen my beautiful babe since she pretended she wanted to break up with me. Haha, she can't break up with me, it doesn't work that way. You can go on break and you can get a divorce, she clearly didn't say she wanted to divorce me. Anyway, I own her. Her dad practically begged me to marry her and he told her she has to marry me.
I drove up to the store wondering if she got here before me. Probably, she is a fast runner and I bet she misses me.
I open the door and it jingles. No one is working the cash register, did they just leave this place or something? Glancing around, I glare at my old best friend, Tiffany. I don't see how I was ever friends with her. The only other table occupied, is clear across the restaurant. I walk over getting angry, I see my wife's hair. But she is with someone. Ugh. "Who the fuck are you? " I ask glaring at her. "Well who are YOU? " She says back in almost the same voice as me. "Wow, she is so pathetic" I say staring at my wife. "Don't say that. And I'm her new friend. What do you want? Let her be she's asleep. Quit acting like everyone else." She glares at me. "Hunny, no one will treat her as good as I do."
"Who are you?! " The girl had jealousy in her voice and she was loud enough to wake April.

~April~
"...Are you?!" Is all I hear as I wake up. I look up and almost scream. "Oh, Hey Babe."
~Svanna~
No. Is she really lesbian? This is the person who texted her.. I shutter. I am NOT jealous. It's not like I even know April that well..
A strong smell is in the air. Cigarettes. April had a smell of cigarettes, but the smell was stronger on this chick. And the girls breath had alcohol and... Donuts on it. I don't know what to say. It is almost completely silent in the restaurant now. I finally find my voice and whisper "You are her girlfriend?". "No, I am her wife" The chick replies sternly. A lump in my throat appears. Four thoughts pop up in my head at once. 1) April looks scared 2) This lady looks almost completely dead 3) She seems bitchy 4) Isn't April only 16? That's crazy. I feel my stomach drop more. "You sure? She doesn't seem happy to see you" I say louder this time but still sounding scared. "The last time we saw each other we had an argument. But we are fine. Right babe? I own you. " She says, looking at April and smirking. She gets close to April and I want to reach out and attack her. There is something completely off about their relationship.

~April~
Carina stands in front of me. She looks pissed and Svanna looks like she is going to jump out of her seat and run away. "... I own you" Carina smirks at me as I zone back into the conversation. What the hell? How did she find me? Carina reaches her arm towards me, I wince. She reaches up my shirt and grabs my boob. "St.. " my face turns red, people are staring, Svanna is staring. I can't finish my sentence. I didn't want my past to find me. She can't be here. This is a dream.

~Svanna~
"St.. " April whispers. Stop? Is she trying to say stop?! What the fuck do I do? "Don't do that" I try to push her away. "Go away, I'm trying to have time with my wife." April's "wife" says. April is shaking. April closes her eyes and opens them slowly. No more shaking. No more emotion in her face. She looks completely empty.

~Carina~
Ugh this Witch is in my way. I go to take April's wrist. "Babe, come on" I Whisper, feeling almost as pathetic as her. I'm drunk, I'm not pathetic. Drunk.. Drunk.. Drunk.. My nails dig into her wrist and a drop of blood falls on the table, I look at April. No emotion. Such a beautiful girl. Show your emotions, pretty girl. I lift her sleeve. "Pathetic, right? 'Poor Baby" I laugh. Getting dizzier by the second. "DON'T CALL HER PATHETIC. IT'S PROBABLY YOUR FAULT SHE DID IT" The girl yells. I'm getting pissed, but to avoid getting called out by the cops, I will leave. "See you tomorrow at your place babe. " I say, I lean in, bite her lip and leave. Practically falling on my way. At least I am not slurring, yet.

~Svanna~
I pick up the empty shell of April. Or at least what looks like an empty shell. She is there somewhere though.

~My place

"I am so.. S.. Sorry for my wife and my problems interfering in your life. " She looks a little bit less emotionless than she had at the restaurant.

The next few weeks went by semi fast. I think April had started to think of me as a friend. She still refuses to tell me about her past and about her wife and things, but we are getting there. She refuses to talk with me at school and I feel bad seeing her sit alone. I got into the cheer team and I made other friends that were semi popular and really nice. Every day after practice I would drive April to the park or her house. She refused to come to my bedroom when I invited her to my small mansion. I just want her to be safe. She is my friend. Eventually, Carina, her wife will be back though and that may cause April some harm.

~April~
I take off my hoodie and shirt and put on a fuzzy grey sweater that goes down past my knees and I pull on pajama pants. I lay on down, swinging my legs over the edge of my bed.
~Flashback~
WTF. How am I supposed to face Svanna? What am I supposed to do if she hates me, it's not like I have known her my whole life or anything. I can't talk to her after the problem at the restaurant yesterday.. Loads of thoughts, terrible thoughts, fill my brain. I check my phone. Get your ass out here babe. I want you. Now.
I run out the door, I wont piss her off today, hopefully.
I race to the once beautiful park. "Hey beautiful" Carina says in a gruff voice and grabs my ass. I can't do anything about it, but I want to. Or maybe I can do something about it? ~Thud~ my body hits the ground and she is laying on me, shoving her tongue down my throat. My head spins. I am fine. I say to myself. "Babe, you are getting so skinny. I love it. I am glad your parents made you marry me." At the mention of my parents I immediately shut down.

"I. I want a divorce.. Or.. A.. A br. .. Break or something " I Say trying my hardest to sound confident, but still stuttering. My patents are gone, I don't have to stay with her.. She looks at me and punches me in the face. All I can think is, I won't let anyone know she hit me again. I will stay home for a few days, saying that I am sick.
~Back to reality~
I touch my face.. Oh.. Right.. That was two weeks ago.. She's gone back to Colorado now. Thankfully.. I look at myself in the mirror. My eye is no longer black.

~Svanna~
~School~
I lean up against her locker. It doesn't have notes or gum on it today, I ripped them all off. I see her shuffling my way and I smile and the sight of her. She sees me and tries to smile back, but I know she doesn't feel like smiling. A girl walks toward April and she falls to the ground. I run to help her, but she's already up. "I'm fine. " she says looking down "I told you, don't come near me. It will ruin your friendships. And your crush will think your weird." She walks away with a falter in her step, like she might collapse any second. She looks sicker than before.. Then it hits me, what crush? I don't have a crush on anyone, do I?
Looking through the crowd, searching for her colorful hair. Nothing. Where did she go?

~April~
I sit in class in the back when Tiffany sits next to me. "Hey. Why don't you stay away from Svanna. Your going to ruin her chance at getting a boyfriend. They will she is like you." She points at me and shakes her finger. "Tsk. Tsk. We don't want that. Do we? Seeing as she is the only one who will talk to you like you are a human. When your not. Right, Monster girl?"
I am ruining her life.. Shut.. I don't want to hurt anyone. I never ever wanted to hurt anyone. I look up and see that Tiffany has scooted far far away from me. Disgrace to human nature. I scoot further way so she is comfortable. I draw for the rest of the period, instead of listening to Mrs. Bridge.*Bzzzz* the bell for lunch rings. Everyone hustles out the door and I walk behind them. Instead of making my way to the cafeteria, I go outside. Sitting down by a tree, I grab my soda and chug it, than read on my cracked phone. Hey. It's Svanna. Wanna sit with me in the lunch room? Tiff and them went to Dutch Bros and I didn't want to go. I close my phone and sigh. Why do you have to try and be nice to me, Svanna? Why have you not just beat me up already? I look through the window into the cafeteria and there she is, sitting alone.

"Hey.. Hey... Don't text me an.. Anymore.. Don't.. Even L.. Look at me. " A tear starts to roll down as I say this, but I turn away hoping no one sees. I run away and head for the girls least used bathroom. I sit and cry. Like the biggest crybaby ever. No one walks in. No one comes in, no one will come in. This bathroom is unused.
