RAIN

Chapter Two

---4:00 PM----

---RAIN's POV--

I stared at the steering wheel, I didn't mean to say those things but...I guess they were bottled up for so long after...the accident. "UGH!" I said as I Let out a frustrated scream. The heavy drops of the rain against the car's window filled the silence in the car. Bright neon lights flashed on and off in front of me. 

"Bar Rema..." I said under my breath "No place feels like home." I got of the car and walked towards the bar. The rain against my hair felt good. It feels right to be out here and not at home. I open the door to a dark room light up by neon colors and dim lights. People chatting and sipping their drinks, the air thicken by cigarettes. 

"Rain!" someone shouted to me "Welcome Home, I hope you're having a good day!" 

A small smile grew on my face. I walked over to the bar "Well, isn't it Quinn my favorite bartender."  

He slid me a whisky with no ice and rested his elbow on the bar table, "How's the sunshine doing?" I glared at Quinn and slowly sipped my drink. 

Quinn let out a small chuckle and leaned off the bar table "You're really having a bad day huh?" 
He made eye contact with a man across the room and grabbed a bottle of Gin. "You can always talk to me Rain, this is your home" He poured the Gin into a glass and nodded at the man across the room. 

"It's nothing." I told him with a straight face "Just Ben and Alex." Quinn slid a man a glass full of the Gin, and he walked away. The bar swung open and a soaked man walked in. I looked over my shoulder and made eye contact with him. He sat down next to me and ordered scotch. I gulped down my whiskey "Another" I said to Quinn who replied with a nod. 

"You're a pretty tough girl" The man next to me said "Not everyone can handle their whiskey." 

"Well I guess, I'm different" I told him rolling my eyes. "Why are you talking to me?" 

The man let out a chuckle as Quinn placed his drink on the table. "I'm just looking for a friend for the night" he said holding his drink. I stared at him for a brief second then back down at my empty coaster. "In all reality, you seemed like you had a story behind your eyes" he gulp down his drink and let out a refreshed aaaaaahh. Quinn placed my drink on my empty coaster then disappeared into the back of the bar. 

"Yeah, I got a story" I picked up my drink and sipped from the glass. "A story that has a closed chapter and Is no longer accepting new supporting characters."

"Is that your way of telling me I got no chance?" the guy said with smirk "I'm Robert" he held out his hand, asking for a hand shake. I glanced down at his hand then back up at him. 

"Rain." I said shaking his hand. "What are you doing here in this bar?" 

He chuckled and looked down in his drink, "Running away from my problems like everyone in this bar" He looked over at me, "What about you Ms Rain? Why are you here?" 

"I'm running too, seems like I'm not fast enough though." 

"I respect that." 

--12:30 PM 5 more drinks in--

"And I told him, dude you were so drunk last night! He continues to deny that he was wasted until I showed him this video." Robert pulled out his phone and opened his photos. He clicked on a icon and a tall fair skinned man started moving on the screen. I leaned in closer to the phone. 
"William! Let my cat go!"

"But I gotta do somefing!!" William whined.  He stuffs the cat into a pillow case. "ITS A PILLOW! ITS A PET! ITS A PILLOWPET!!" William screamed. 

"OKAY LET MR. SNUGGLES GO NOW!" 

The video ended and I couldn't' breathe. "Oh my god!" I said gasping for air, "He did not really do that!" 

Robert slid his phone back into his pocket, chuckling "He did He did" 

I threw myself on Robert's shoulder, holding my stomach. "I need friends like that!" 
Robert smiled and looked down at my face. He leaned in and kissed me and I kissed him back. Quinn who magically made a reappearance took notice to the kiss. He watched us for a good minute before returning to his customer. 

"Want to take this to the bathroom?" Robert bit his bottom lip, He wants me and strangely..I want him. I nodded in agreement, we both got up and walked to the bathroom. He pushed me against the wall and kissed me roughly. I can taste the scotch on his tongue. 

"Another Blue Balls please!" ordered a customer, "Make it snappy my lady doesn't like waiting"

"You got it!" Quinn answered as he started mixing the drinks. The Bar door open and a tall man with a hood covering his face walked in. He walked over to Quinn who greeted him with a Hello. 
"Welcome to Bar Rema, you're a new face?" 

The mystery guy took of his hood, "I'm looking for a lady name Rain. She normally comes here on the Weekends. Have you seen her?" 

Quinn gasped a little, "Ben..?" 

Ben smiled a little and wiped some of the rain off his cheeks "Yes, I'm Ben" 
Quinn broke eye contact with Ben. "Do I know you?" 

"You're Rain's husband" Quinn said under his breath. "Oh shit, she fucked up." 

"Excuse me?" Ben said trying to get Quinn's attention again. "Do you know a Rain?" 

"NO HABLA ENGLISH!" Quinn said as he darted into the back of the Bar. Ben had a puzzle expression, he rose an eyebrow and turned away from the bar "Okay then.." he said. 

I can feel Robert in me, I quickly gave him my body. God it feels like he owns my soul now. "Ah, Robert..." I said "It feels good" 

"This damn door won't open!" said a muffled voice, they were shaking the door knob "Why won't it open?" 

"Robert stop! Someone's coming" I tapped him on the shoulder "Did you lock the door?" 
Robert didn't stop, he kept moving which caused me to moan. The door was forcefully pushed open. Robert and I looked at the person at the door surprised. Me more than Robert.

"Rain...?"

"Ben!?" 

Ben looked over and Robert and clutched his fists. "You bastard! That's my wife!" 

"I don't see a ring on her finger" Robert said with a smile, "So technically she's not you're wife right now." 
I can't talk, it's like my voice disappeared. "Rain!" Ben shouted "How could you do this to me? to Alex?" 

"I-I.."

Ben grabbed Robert off of me, "Get off her you asshole! Keep your cock in your pants or next time you won't have it to play with!" 

Robert backed away and covered himself up. He looked over at me and winked "I'll see you around Rain" 

He pushed past Ben, and left the Bar. Ben looked up at me with a disappointed look. "Ben I can-"
He cut me off my raising his hand. "Rain, I've had enough" he said 

"Ben, please" I fixed myself and hugged Ben. He didn't hug me back. "I really can change!" 

"HOW MANY TIMES-" he cut himself off by lowering his voice. "How times is this going to happen? We have a fight, you run off to drink and sleep with another guy"  

I can feel tears building up, I can't lose Ben he's the only thing keeping me together as a person and a mother. "Ben...I'm really sorry. Please. Please don't go." 

Ben pushed me back slightly, he reached for my hand. He took off his ring and dropped it in my hand. I looked down at the engraved ring. Together forever Rain

"Ben please!" I begged. Ben turned around, and breathed in and slowly out. He started to walk away.  

....

I lost him.
