Lost Then Found ( Melwood AU )

Melissa

I heard their footsteps coming from upstairs. I wiped my tears and hid somewhere in our kitchen. 

"I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I had a really nice time, Wood."  I heard her say, teasing my husband with her lips that's almost bleeding because of her cringey lipbites.

"Me too, baby. I love you."  My husband gave her a peck and slapped her ass before he closes our door.

I took a deep breath, knowing what's going to happen next.

"Melissa Marie!" I came out from our kitchen, "Yes, babe?" 

"Where were you?" 

"I-I was-" 

Why the hell am I shaking?

"I was in the kitchen... cooking for our breakfast." He walked towards me, "I was talking about last night, you dumb ass. Where were you last night?!"

He's going to hurt me if I told him the truth...

He's going to hurt me if I lied...

"I was with Grant."

I suddenly felt his heavy hand on my left cheek. He slapped me that I fell on the floor. I can feel that my left cheek is burning.

It hurts.

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL HANGING OUT WITH HIM?!"

"Y-You told me to leave when you came... I did, and Grant saw me walking down the streets. We chatted for awhile and then I went home."

He was about to talk but someone barged through the door without even knocking.

I stood up as fast as I can.

"Why is that whore here?" I know that voice. 

Chyler.

I know she's talking about Eve. My husband's affair.

"Who told you to come inside?" Chris asked, "Who told you to bring that bitch here?" 

"It's my house. I'm the one-" Chy cut him off, "I don't care what you're about to say. I'm here for Melissa." 

She looked at me, and my burning red cheek. 

"Omygod, Mel. What happened to your cheek?!" She approached me and slowly rubbed my left cheek, "He did this, isn't it?" 

"I'm going upstairs. I want your friend out of my house." I nod, "If I came downstairs and she's still here, -"

"WE are getting out of this house." Chy emphasized the 'We' and grabbed my hand. 

As soon as we're getting near the front door,  Chris gripped my other arm tighter than Chy's and it made both of us to stop walking. 

"Let her go." 

What Chris' have said gave me goosebumps. He never said that in a while.

"No. She is going  with me. I am never going to let you lay a finger on her again."

"Let Go." He said firmly.

"Mel, you choose." Chy said. 

I looked at her, "Let go of me. I am fine. It's an accident." 

"What?! Melissa, he is hurti-" Before Chyler could even finish, Chris pushed her and closed the door immediately. 

He was about to go upstairs but I hugged him from behind, "Thank you."
