Stung by the Wasp (a Chris Motionless fanfiction)

The other side of him..

***
The day's seemed to get slower.
Elise and Chris barely spoke to one another.
Chris was mostly in his office working.
Elise came in tired from work almost every day.
They ate in silence, watched TV in silence and if they were to talk it was small talk.
Elise has been going out late at bars, coming back late, bruises on her hips and forced kisses on her neck.
Chris wouldn't notice. The whole house was in a blur.

-Elise's POV-

I tiredly set the table for dinner.
Serving Chris and me some homemade lasagne,
I sat at the table, resting my head in my hands,
I was exhausted, the on going headache was driving me insane.
I looked across the room to see Chris still in his office.
I sighed,
"Chris, I made dinner" I said.
He got up, coming through,
I flashed him a small smile as he grabbed his plate.
My smile faded however as he grabbed a fork and knife and left the table to eat it in his office.
He left me to eat alone.
I let a tear slide down my cheek as I began to eat.
Silently sobbing to myself.
I cleaned up, throwing out the leftovers which there was a lot of.
I stood by the door of Chris's office.
"How is work going" I said tensely,
"What?" He turned in his seat,
Confusion in his voice, as I had not spoken to him in days.
"Work, how is it going?"
"Stressful" he sighed,
"Relatable" I said leaning against the wall.
There was a silence,
"The food is good," he said lifting an empty plate.
"I didn't know we had the number for the Italian delivery place"
"I made it actually"
"Oh-
His phone went off,
He picked it up,
I took his plate and left.
"-no, I said it would be done by the end of next week you heard me wrong,"
"-no I'm not changing the deadline!"
"Fine don't listen to me, if you wanna complain, complain to the record company how about that"
I heard him slam the phone down.
"Chris I think you should take a break from all this"
"Unlike you Elise, I can't just quit my job, I actually have to commit, I have people waiting for music to be released"
"What is up with the attitude recently?"
"No idea, you tell me"
"Is this about last week? Because we haven't spoke at all since then"
"I've given up" he stood up.
"I quit!"
"You wish for me to leave you?"
"no, I want you to stay"
"Then why are you pushing me away"
"Your pushing me away!" He got angry,
"Stop yelling, please my head hurts,"
He signed,
"You still don't wanna go after them do you?"
"Your still dwelling on the matter is see."
"You can't be serious Elise!"
"What do you want from me" I shook my head,
"I don't know," He sighed,
"I've did my time,"
"I have waited for this opportunity, for him to get what he deserves !" I Said beginning to cry.
"But what do you deserve? You don't deserve to put yourself at risk for them!"
"I love how you suddenly give a shit, after you haven't paid much interest in me for weeks"
"Shut up Elise! I'm stressing the fuck out over the important things! I have music to write!" He screamed
I left the room at that.
I've never heard him shout like that,
Was this the side of Chris that I was fearing all this time?
That hurt.
I ran a bath and lay in it.
The hot water burning my skin.
I took out my piercings and I let a tear slip.
What if my sister were to see me, god she would be ashamed.
I have treated Chris like shit, and I have fucked up the thing we had just like everything else.
Maybe it wasn't them, maybe it was my fault all along.
I lay back, I'm so sorry Chris.

-Chris's POV-

I sighed and headed upstairs to hear crying coming from the bathroom.
My heart sank to a pit of guilt.
I knocked on the bathroom door.
"Ellie? Darling are you okay?"
She went silent.
"Im coming in okay" I said softly opening the door slowly.
Elise was crying silently, biting in her hand trying to cry quietly.
I sighed kneeling to her.
"Hey, hey, come here," I put my hands around her face getting into the tub,
"I'm sorry" she cried.
"Shh, shh, I didn't mean it," I hushed,
"It's my fault, I fucked us up" she said shaking like crazy.
"No, it's me, I've  been really stressed okay,many I took it out on you, I normally get like this with the band but now I've turned to you"
"I wish it was like old times too" she sniffled.
"I don't care, just as long as I'm with you okay?"
She nodded and snuggled into my chest as we lay in the tub,
"What's this?" I trailed my thumb across her bruised hips.
"Nothing"
"No, tell me" I said concerned.
"I was sexually assaulted on the way home from work the other night"
I bit my lip and shook my head, a tear slipped down my cheek.
"I'm so sorry," I whispered kissing her forehead,
She turned to me,
"Are we trusting each other again?"
"I never doubted you I just- was scared that's all" I blushed.
She kissed my lips softly and held my hand.
"I love you" I said looking her in the eye,
She never did back.
"I love you too Chris"
"I will wait for the day when you can look me in the eye and say that"
She nodded letting a tear slip.
I wiped her tears.
"Let's take everyday as it comes yeah?"
She nodded.
"My shoes are soaked" I sighed,
She giggled.
