The Unbreakable Series (Acceptance)

Chapter 17

A WEEK LATER

I wake up alone. I decide food first and walked into the kitchen grabbed everything sat down to eat. Bill comes in and kisses my cheek.

"Good morning". He tells me.

"Well good morning to you too". I say.

"It's here I want to do it tonight". He tells me.

"I am going to ask you again Bill". "are you sure you want to go through this"? I ask.

"I am 100% sure yes". He says.

"Do you have all the medications you are going to need"? I ask.

"Yes, everything is in my bathroom". he tells me.

"Bill this is going to kill for a few weeks so be ready". "Oh, where do you want me to put it"? I asked.

"Right above my heart". He tells me.

"Oh God no". "I can't do that, it's going to hurt even more". I tell him.

"I don't care Sweets has my heart and will always have it". "The world needs to know". He says.

To be honest with myself a part of me is happy I am doing this. so were even I know that's petty but it's how I feel. We spent the day watching movies. when the last one was over.

"everything is ready let's go". He says.

I followed him out back, I see the fire going and the iron in the fire. Now I am starting to second guess doing this. A part of me wanted him to hurt and the other didn't. we get to the tree and he stands there facing me, he takes his shirt off.

"I want it right here Sweets". he says.

pointing to his chest. Right above his heart.

"I can't do this Bill". I tell him.

he grabs my chin and looks deeply into my eyes.

"Yes, you can find that part of you that wants to see me suffer". "Do this as pay back". "for everything I have ever done wrong to you". "Please do this for me". he tells me.

I take a deep breath and walk over to the fire. I look back at him.

"you might want to have your back on the tree you will need the support". I tell him.

He backed up. I came over with the iron, I put it exactly where he wanted, waited and pulled it away. the whole time he is yelling, growling and crying. I fall to my knees.

"I am so sorry". I tell him.

"FUCK that hurts" he yells.

He comes over to me

"I need help". He says.

"With what"? I ask.

"I need to get to my bathroom". he tells me.

He put his arm around me. I know someone who is 4'11 isn't much help especially when the other person well over a foot taller. I did all I could to help. We got to his room and he could get the rest of the way on his own.

I walk in and see him putting the cream on. He has tear stained cheeks.

"I can't believe I did that to you". he says.

"I am so sorry Bill". I say.

I am crying so hard now. I feel like such an ass for hurting him. the guilt is killing me. I will not hurt him again. I never want to see him hurting again.

"I don't enjoying causing you pain like that". I tell him.

"Stop I deserve every bit of it". he tells me.

He walks out and lays down on the bed. I jump on crawl to the other side of the bed and looked at him. I knew how bad that branding felt.

"you should take some pain killers". I say.

"No". he says.

"why not"? I ask.

"Because it wasn't me that gave you the pain pills it was Billy". He tells me.

"Bill please for me take the pain meds". "it would make me feel less guilty". I tell him.

He got up and went to the bathroom, grabbed some and took them.

"Thank you". I say.

"I need to know why are you going so easy on me"? he asks.

"Truth or lie"? I ask him.

"truth". he says.

"Truth is how can you want to hurt someone you love".

"You love me"? he asks.

"Bill do you know anyone else on this planet that would get branded to prove their love to me"? I ask.

"No, I don't". he replied.
