What song should I put for this chapter?

"Loyal where the fuck are you?" he screams. I try my best to clean up the broken glass but I'm too late. He storms into the living room to see one of our vases shattered on the floor.

"What the fuck?!" he growls as his voice drips of venom.

What happened to the loving man I use to know?

"I'm s-sorry I wa-was vacuuming and the cord g-got tangled" I stutter trying to hide my face behind my hair.

"Look at me you useless bitch" he groans. I whimper and slowly raise my head to come in contact with those ice chilling green eyes. The same ones that made me so interested in him. The same ones that made me fall for him and the same ones that screwed me over.

"Get up" he snaps.

I can smell his alcohol stained breath from here. I slowly stand on my own two feet praying he doesn't hit me again. I can't take it....last night was too much.

I remember looking in the mirror this morning seeing the purple bruises splattered across my thin torso. You could still see the marks from his fingers around my neck when he tried to choke me.

I remember the way his fingertips slid against my skin. They use to feel like silk but now they feel like a never-ending nightmare.

A hard slap that throws me across the room knocks me out of my thoughts. I feel the tears start to brim my eyes.

"Don't cry you little wuss" he dismisses.

"I'm not a wuss" I whisper hoping he didn't hear me. I think I only said it because I was trying to make myself believe it.

But do I?

"What did you just say?!" he grumbles loudly.

"Nothing I-I'm s-sorry" I stutter bringing my shaky hand up to brush my hair behind my ear.

He swiftly walks over and grabs my hair, and yanks up. I scream in pain as my head throbs.

"What the hell did you just say to me?!" he growls with his face centimeters away from mine. I look into his eyes and there red.

Great, he's high too!

"What happened to you?" I sob. What happened to my Jakie?!

He throws me on the couch, hard. My face collided with the arm of the chair, which by the way isn't soft at all!

"Jakie... you're hurting me" I try to use his special nickname to bring him back. To bring my baby back...

I watch as regret and sorrow flashes across his face. He runs over to me and crouches down on the floor. He lifts me into his lap and cuddles me.

"I'm sorry baby, I lost my temper that's all," he says rocking me back and forth. I wish I could say there is still hope that he will come back to me, but you can help someone from drowning, but not if their gonna bring you down with them.

And right now, I'm gasping for air at the surface fighting the chain that's about to drag me under as well.

I run my hand through his hair and say "It's okay, baby. It's okay" as tears calmly slip down my cheeks.
