I'm In Love Again

We've All Been There Sometimes

*Sin's POV*

  "John Cusack is good, but he's not on my list of favorite actors." Chris said, and I shrugged. "Not on mine either, but he is as far as this movie is concerned."

  We were watching Identity in our new house, with Electra and Sidra. We just moved in last week, and we've all adjusted really well.

  Well, the girls and I have. Chris misses being with all his buddies, so he's over there the majority of every day.

  It's kind of difficult to do all the unpacking and setting up the house by myself, especially while taking care of two four year olds, but he promised to stay home all day tomorrow to help out.

  "Are we gonna just forget John C. McGinley's existence?" he asked me in a bitchy tone. "He barely has a part in it!" I shot back in a matching tone. What the Hell is his problem lately?!

  "Don't fight pwease..." Sidra whimpered, clinging to her stuffed panda bear. "We're not fighting, honey." I comforted her, ignoring the glare I was getting from Chris.

  "But Daddy looks mad..." Electra protested, starting to somewhat cower. At that point I decided it was bedtime for the girls. "Why don't you two run off to bed, okay?" I suggested.

  They both jumped up and ran from the room, as Chris emitted a low growl. I didn't feel like dealing with his shitty attitude, so I went into me and Chris's bedroom. It was weird having only a one story house, but whatever.

  I left the door open, so that way the room could air out some, and pulled some pajamas out of a drawer: a black tanktop and a pair of Chris's boxers, cuz why the fuck not?

  I went into our bathroom and changed, and when I came back, Chris was sitting on the bed, staring at his phone intently. I still didn't want to deal with him, so I went back to the living room, figuring I would sleep on the couch.

  I pulled my phone out of my bra (it was there cuz I had no pockets) and texted Ash, wondering if she knew what Chris's problem was.

Sin: hey Ash, hav u heard from Chris 2day?

Ash: no, y?

Sin: hes being an ass, it even scared the twins

Ash: srsly? ill c if the guys kno anything

Sin: thank u

  While I waited for her to respond, I clicked the TV back on, scrolling through channels till I settled on Tom & Jerry.

Ash: u havnt been on social media l8ly, hav u?....

  I raised a curious eyebrow at the message. I hadn't been on in a couple of weeks, since I posted something about Chris and I looking for our own place.

  All over Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr, there were posts basically saying that I'm trying to take Chris away from the band now, that I'm a dirty slut, I beat my children, etc.

  After a while of reading through shit, I finally made myself stop due to my sobbing. How could people be so fucking awful?

Sin: I just looked....

  I didn't get a text back. Instead, Ash called me.

Sin: Y-yeah?

Ash: Honey, please don't cry... You can't let them get to you, they're not worth it.

Sin: It's just so awful, Ash...

Ash: Did you see the stuff Chris was saying though?

Chris?

What was HE saying about me?!

Sin: N-no.... What has he been s-saying?

Ash: He's been telling everyone to fuck off and leave you alone, and you're a perfect wife and mother, and that anyone who talks bad on you is no fucking fan of his.

Sin: I... I thought he was mad at me, or I did something wrong...

Ash: No, honey, he's been at the guys because they've been helping him deal with this shit. I'm surprised Jealousy isn't getting the same.

Sin: I'm glad she isn't... Thank you Ash.

Ash: No problem. Love you girl.

Sin: Love you too.

  I hung up and wiped my tears away so that I could go talk to Chris. I saw the door to our room was shut, so I lightly knocked on it. "Come on in."

  I cracked the door open slowly. "Chris?" I asked quietly. There was a moment of silence before a, "Yeah?" I opened the door a bit more so I could pass through it, then shut it behind me.

  I went and sat next to him on the bed as he pulled a pillow over his face. "I saw what they've been saying, Chris..." I heard an unintelligible muffle from the pillow, and asked him to repeat it.

  He moved the pillow away, saying, "Don't you dare do something stupid." "I won't, I promise. Ash told me about it, and what you've been up to..." He frowned. "How did she know?"

"She asked the guys."

"Ah."

  He closed his eyes, putting his hands behind his head. "I thought you were mad at me..." I whispered, trying not to cry again. "Why would I be mad?" he asked, sounding concerned.

  "I don't know..." I felt tears ready to spill, and shut my eyes tight against it. A pair of strong arms pulled me close to the body they belonged to, and I allowed myself to be comfortingly wrapped in their tight embrace.

  "Sin, I promise you, the guys and I are doing everything we can to fight them off." Chris murmured, lips dancing on my cheek. "I don't even care much, Chris." I replied, "I just don't want to lose you."

  He chuckled. "In case you forgot, marriage is for life. That's kinda the point, beautiful. And I will always be yours." he said, kissing my cheek. We laid down and snuggled close together, and soon fell asleep.
