A New Chance

Chapter 10

Days had passed and I decided it was time to check up on Neal. I walked into the office and he was still there. He hadn't moved because well he can't move. I walked in and man did it reek, he probably peed himself since he couldn't go to the bathroom. I walked up to him and sure enough he was all stained.

I covered my nose and gave him a gross look. "You stink." He just sighed. I pulled on his wheel chair and I wheeled him into the tub that was halfway full. I wheeled him up there and threw him into the bathtub. He screamed for dear life but I did not give a damn. When he fell half of his body was under the water.

I was so angry at this man that this was not even half of what he deserved. I took a glass of wine and started drinking. "Take care of him they said, bathe him, clothe him they said, what about me," I said as I took another sip of wine. I looked down at Neal and he was making bubbles. I scoffed.

"Stop making those damn bubbles, you're making yourself look more of a fool than what you already are." I look at Neal's face and he looked scared but I didn't give a damn. "You kicked me out of our house, you tried to keep me from our money, No, you deserve this." I grabbed my head and wanted to cry.

This was all too much but I had to be strong. I look down and I see the Neal was fully submerged. I sighed. I went and pulled him back up and Neal gasped for air. I leaned him against the tub and he's just coughing. "You see Neal I was there when all we had was each other." I then get up and leave him sitting there.

I walked out of the bathroom and my head was spinning. I wanted for him to suffer more yet I could feel myself changing, I didn't want to change but Neal needed to suffer. I walked back into the bathroom and I take him out of the bath tub. I wheel him up to the room and put him into a dry set of clothes.

Once I did that I wheeled him to the dinning room table where the torture was going to continue. I serve myself a tasty salad and a glass of wine. I sit across the table from him and I start to eat it. Neal hasn't eaten in days so this I was going to enjoy. "Mmm this is so delicious," I say as I savor the salad. I look up at Neal and he's almost in tears.

"Emma...." I stop chewing and smile. "Oh my bad sweetie, are you hungry?" Neal nods. "Yeah," he softly says. I smile. "Oh then why don't you go to the kitchen and get yourself something to eat then, hmmm?" Neal starts to cry out. "Maria." I give him a confused look then chuckled.

"Maria!" I called out and chuckled again. "Maria is gone." Neal continued to cry. "Your little tramp didn't leave any money to pay her so Maria left and so did she." Neal continued to cry. "You know she packed up all her things and some of yours and left." I took another bite then chuckled. I looked at Neal and he was just suffering. I was glad, I was so happy to see him suffer.

"You wanna know something, she cleaned out your whole bank account, all of it. You tried to keep it from me and she took it all. Huh?" I laughed out loud and took another bite of the salad. This was gold, I was enjoying what I was doing to Neal because just like I said a million times before he deserved it.

"Neal, you are like so many men who'd rather leave with trash than make it work with a good woman." Neal continued to cry but I could see anger in his eyes. "You're a coward Neal." He shook his head and I slid my plate of food to him and it landed all over his lap. He cried and I got up and walked away.

I left him sitting there and I walked over to my room. This was too much for me, but he needed it. That's when I see a message on my phone, it was from Killian and he had sent it 4 hours ago. He wanted to meet at a bar near my place to talk. I check the time and it's passed our meeting time.

I didn't want to go but I had to. I changed into different clothes and I grabbed my purse and made my way there. I walked in and I see Killian sitting at the counter. I sat next to him and he sighed. "I thought you were gonna stand me up." I shake my head. "No." He nods. I go an order an iced tea as I put my purse down.

"Emma I hadn't heard from you in a while, please tell me what's going on?" I sigh. "I have a lot of things going on right now Killian, and I don't think I can complicate it." He scoffs. "Complicate, I'm a complication?" The tone of how he said that crushed me. He wasn't a complication but I couldn't deal with him right now.

The waitress serves me my drink and I quickly grab it. "You know about Neal Killian, he's awake and he's back home. We are back together." He gasps in disbelief. "Emma don't you do this, that man did everything in his power to try and break you but you made it and you found strength and passion for life you never had before. Why would you turn back?"

My heart hurt, I couldn't face him. I turned around as he just faced my way. "Why?" He screamed. "You can't answer me can you, Well I know the answer. You're just like me, every time things would go good I would sabotage my happiness." God I was in tears as he was saying all this.

"I learned that I do deserve to have good things and a good a life and I deserve you." My tears were just flowing out. I really wanted to punch Killian but I couldn't. "Look at me Emma." I shook my head. "Look at me damn it!" He screams. I sigh and I face him.

"You're a good woman, and you deserve me and you want out of that life, I know you do and the only reason you're going back is because you're still afraid. I'm right here, I love you but I need you to trust me." I shake my head. "I'm sorry Killian." He gets up and sighs. I really don't want to lose him but I can't do this.

"Don't Killian.." He scoffs. "Don't What Emma?" I sigh. "What do you want from me?" I sigh again. "What? Am I supposed to say let's be friends?" I nod. "Yes." He shakes his head. "You don't get it do you. When you really love someone you can't just be friends." I try to grab his hand and he pulled away.

"I don't want to lose you Killian." He sighs. "Yeah well I don't want just half of you." I sigh as he walked out. I was devastated in how he was feeling. I just couldn't go through with this, I was bound to Neal for now so that's all that matters.
