Warning: signs of trigger
———Georgie's POV——-
Something wasn't right. Bones was home after his short tour but he was acting different. He's been in his own world, he can barely bring himself to touch me. I don't know what happened but I needed to find out. "Talk to me Bones please. Don't shut me out." It broke my heart to see him so broken. "I'm fine George I'm going sleep." My mind was thinking so many different scenarios and each seemed to be worse than the last. I didn't know how to fix him but I needed to before he went back on tour else I don't think I could honestly say that the section would be safe in his hands, I've never doubted him not since the very first time meeting him. But something happened out in Afghan it's that or the only other explanation broke my heart even more and that was he was cheating on me. I fell into a restless sleep unprepared for what challenge I would face next.
——-Bones POV—-
That tour haunted me. It destroyed me to think that Georgie was blaming herself. I knew me being like this was eating at her but I didn't know how to tell my wife what happened on that tour.
"Shoot him!" I was prepared for the end I wasn't fighting how could I when being held hostage. He was back. Jamie was out of the police cells and in Afghan once again successful on taking me. Emily was there and some of there friends each armed with a sniper. I wasn't getting out of this alive. "No! Captain McClyde is a very valuable asset to me. See I could kill you, break Georgie's heart but one day she'd move on and be happy again. But I could break you which would destroy you both and split you up taking away every ounce of happiness she ever wrongfully had." I didn't know what he was going to do but I knew my head was spinning. Emily came over and gagged me using an old dirty cloth. My hands was already tied together with rope and I had lost any energy that remained within me after Jamie pulled my head to the side and harshly pushed a needle into my neck. "Should keep you quiet." The memories was so fresh in my mind it hurt, I was there each time I shut my eyes and I'm still there when I'm awake. Emily undid my belt and then harshly flipped me on to my stomach. I was scared for the first time in my life I was so so scared. Jamie began to slowly remove my pants as I struggled as much as I could with the little energy I had. "Revenge does taste sweeter when you wait." Jamie's sickening voice never leaves my mind. He then briskly pulled my boxers down. I knew what was happening but there was nothing I could do to stop it. He eventually finished with me. "Army kit completely removed leave him in his boxers then chains back on him." He raped me and I couldn't even defend myself. My baby girls big blue eyes looked up at me as I cradled her in my arms allowing a single tear to fall as we sat in the front room I said everything out loud for the first time "your mummy's going to hate me I'm dirt now I'm not a man I couldn't protect myself."
I hadn't notice Georgie walk in the room and I certainly didn't realise that she heard everything. "Oh bones." She kneeled in front of me and placed her small hands on my knees. "George." I could see in her eyes she was broken hearted herself after hearing that. "Look at your little girl. Is she still looking up at her daddy the way she has every day since being born." "Yeah she is." "Your still hers and the boys dad. And your still that man I fell in love with. This won't be easy I'm not going to lie but we'll get through it together like we always do." I headed to put Payton in her cot in our room before going back downstairs to Georgie. I broke down. "Just hold me. I'm safe there nobody can hurt me when I'm with you." I fell into Georgie's arms as we clutched on to each other like we was never going to let go. "I'm here. Your home now your safe." I didn't want her to let me go, I felt okay for the first time since what happened I felt okay to speak about it I felt okay to cry. She laid a kiss on my head as she still didn't let me go. "I love you. Please remember that." "I'm sorry Georgie. For pushing you away." I was lying in her arms while I played with my wedding ring. "I promised to love you unconditionally, to never judge you. To be the strength and backbone when time was tough. But most of all to never judge you no matter what. That still stands and it always will." I clutched on to Georgie for the first time since the accident I was happy well as happy as I can be. "Let's go to bed." I got up and took Georgie's hand as we headed upstairs. I felt better now I had spoke to her. Payton was lying awake I'm her cot wriggling. She instantly started laughing when she seen me and her mum. "Like your mother aren't you aye. Just want attention don't you." Georgie had Olly in her arms and I picked up Payton as both of the baby es was happy to be in our arms. "I love you Alex McClyde." "I love you more Georgie McClyde." We was all awake now and playing with the kids. It was going to be a very long road before I fully recovered but I had my kids and wife so I knew I could do it.
