Perfect Timing

°20°

When i walk into the house, i wasnt happy. The house was a mess, toys everywhere.

"Jackson!" I yell. From the corner of my eye i see three bodys come from the hall way.

"Why is the house a mess?" I yelled.

"We were playing?" He says. I huff and walk into the kitchen. When i walk back out i see the boys.

"Jackson! What did you do to my babies hair?" I screamed, Westen had like brown stuff in it.

"I didnt do it, he did, i swear." He says standing behind the boys.

"Im going to give them both a bath, when i am done, this house, better be fixed." I say picking up Hayes and holding Westens as we go to the bathroom.

When i finish up bathing the boys i order pizza and change out of my work clothes.

"Babe, i have to go, work." Jackson says walking into the room and grabbing his gun and car keys. He walks up to me and kisses me goodbye.

"Dont forget to tell the boys goodnight. Love you." I says before he walks out of the door.

"I am, love you too." He says leaving.

I get into one of Jacks shirts and lay down in bed, i grab a book to read thats been sitting on my night stand when Westen walks in.

"Whats wrong baby?" I aay setting the book down, hoping i can start it soon.

"Can i sleep with you, i like sleeping with you?" He says standing next to my side of the bed.

"But what about daddy, where will he sleep?"

"I-I dont know, i just wanted to sleep with you, i missed you." He said looking at his feet trying to hide his tears.

"Aw baby, i was just kidding, daddy will be able to fit on the bed, come on." I say sliding over, he climbed in and layed down. I leaned over him and flicked off my lamp on my night stand.

"Goodnight mommy." He says sucking his thumb and twirling my hair with the other.

"Goodnight baby." We both passed out into a peaceful slumber.

3 am

What is that noise? I wake up and wipe my eyes, to see better, i look over and see Westen still sleeping, i walk out of our room and head towards the boys room, i see Hayes still sleeping too. I walk into the living room and see nobody, i walk into the kitchen and jump when i see Jack flick on the kitchen light and take a sio from his beer. With his face all messed up.

"Oh my god, what happened to you?" I said whispering but in a panic. I walk over to him and hold his face in my hand and look at the cuts on his face and the black eye. He pushes my hand away from his head.

"Nothing, go back to bed." He said taking another sip from his beer.

"No, not when you're hurt." I said looking down at him as he leans back in the chair.

"Go, i dont want you here." He said rudely.

"Jack?" I say feeling hurt.

"Just leave!" He screamed getting up and wrapping his hands around my neck pushing me into the wall.

"Jack. Stop, your scaring me!" I whimper.

"Just go." He says letting me go and going back to his seat.

"No." I say pulling up a chair and sit in front of him.

"Cleo, im not kidding, now, for the last time, get the fuck up and leave." He says.

"I dont care." I say crossing my arms.

"Fuck Cleo, im trying to hold my anger back! Go!" He screams in my face throwing his beer bottle against the wall.

"Im not leaving"

"Cleo i dont want to hurt you." He says gripping my arm.

"Do what you have to do, i just wont be here when your done." I say looking into his eyes.

"Cleo." He growled.

"No." I said ripping my arm from his grip.

He slapped me across the face. And gripped my neck.

"Is this what you want?" He seethed through his teeth.

"All i wanted was to be here for you." I choked out trying to breath.

"Mommy?" My heart stopped, Jack let go of my neck and looked behind me.

"West go back to bed, me and mommy are just talking." Jackson said rudely.

"Dont talk to him like that." I spit.

"Shut up." He said and slapped me across the face, in front of Westen. I got up and grabbed Westen.

"Fuck you Jack." I said and went down the hall and grabbed a duffle bag and put some of mine, Wests, and Hayes, clothes in it. I put shoes on Westen and put on pajama pants for myself and slip on flip flops. I put Westen in the truck and go back inside and get a sleeping Hayes. I put him in the car and walk back inside and tell Jack im leaving.

"Im going, you obviously dont want me here, ill just go." I said turning around walking to the door.

"Good take those stupid pieces of shits too, i killed the ones dad and the other was a stupid mistake, just like loving you." He said.

"Dont worry, i wouldnt leave them here with a disgusting piece of trash who calls himself Jackson. Hope your gang is better than your family because thats all your ever going to have." I said and walked out. I drove too Kaylens place.

I took the boys inside and layed them in her guest room. I walked into her room and layed in her bed with her in it, she started to wake up.

"Cleo?" She said drowsy.

"Yeah, it- its me." I squeaked out, trying not to cry.

She leaned towards her night stand and flicked on her light.

"Aw babe, whats wrong?" She said hugging me.

"Its Jackson, we got into a fight and it didnt end well, he called the boys  pieces of shits and called me a mistake, he slapped me in front of Westen, and choked me. All i did was want to make sure he was okay, he, he had cuts and marks all over his face." I cried, huffing in and out trying to breath because right now i can't. I feel like my air ways and closing in and making me slowly loose consciousness.

"Breath Cleo, in, out, in, out." Kaylen said rubbing my back.

"The boys are here?" She asked.

"Yeah in your guest room." I cried. I couldnt stop, i knew what i signed up for the moment he asked me out and when i forgave him.

I just didnt know he would act like this when something doesnt go his way.
