Die By My Own Hand

Chapter 13

Faith

I finally stopped bleeding but I still can't break free. I don't know why it is impossible for Ben to understand that Tim and I will work through this. That's what partners do and we deserve the chance. He runs into the room with something in his hand. "Where are we at?" I ask trying to glimpse at whatever is on the other side of the door. "At your old house!" Nothing looks familiar here. "Someone bought the house." "Yeah me!" he says smiling like he did the best thing ever. He got the envelope and a chair and came over to me. "What I am about to show you will make you done with Tim?" I wish he would just get the picture and understand that nothing will make me done with Tim. He pulls out a handful of pictures and begins to show me. Each had a picture of Tim with a different woman. Most were talking but a few had him kissing the women. My blood boiled with anger at Tim. "He cheated on me?" I asked. "Yeah. Doesn't look like the scum you married now." "But he would never cheat on me." I said. "Yeah right. I had to barely pay them to kiss him." "Wait. You made those women do that?" "Of course. To show you that he isn't loyal. A real man wouldn't let that happen." "I hate you!" I scream at Ben. "You don't mean that baby." he says stroking my face. "Yes I do! You are worthless!" I scream biting his hand hard enough to taste blood. He screamed out in pain then punched me with his other hand hard enough to knock me out.
