She Will Be Loved

Ch. 6

Christina had just finished filming The Voice knockout rounds today and was about to leave with Max but Adam stopped them

"chris wait" he said as he placed his hand on her shoulder

she turned around and flashed a warm smile for a second "yeah?" she asked

"hey maxy, why don't you go play with cee-lo's bird for a few minutes while i talk to your mommy" adam said as he ruffled max's hair

max nodded as he shot a cute little smile in adam's direction before running off to cee-lo. adam looked down at christina and let out a small sigh

"what?" she asked in a quiet tone

"just tell me.. please christina"

"adam we talked about this-" he cut her off

"i know, but nothing you're saying is true.. just tell me, i want you to be happy again" he said in a sad voice as he took her hand gently into his

"adam please.." she said as she looked at the floor, her voice showed how hurt she was. he wasn't going to stop until he found out what was making her feel like this, he had a clue of what was happening but didn't know if it was completely true

he placed his finger underneath her chin and lifted it up so she could look at him "what happened?" he asked in a low tone as he stared deeply into her blue eyes that were now a faded color, they showed pain, they showed hurt, he could see that she needed to be saved from something. but she wouldn't tell him what it was. he knew it was matt, but he needed her to say it..

she stayed quiet as she felt tears forming in her eyes, she didn't want to cry in front of adam. she was praying to god that she didn't cry, then he'd know that something really was wrong

"christina" he said as a sigh escaped his lips "why won't you tell me?" he asked as his thumb carressed her cheek gently

"because i'm fine" she felt a tear roll down her cheek, she hadn't even noticed that she was crying

"you're not leaving until you tell me" he said as he gave her hand a small squeeze

"no. adam i have to leave" she said suddenly as she wiped her tears away

everytime she was late coming home, matt would be really angry and you can pin point what happens, he beats her multiple times and screams in her face, making her eardrums almost explode

"you don't have to leave"

"i do. you don't understand adam" she said as she sighed a little

"i do understand, matt's waiting for you. and if you're late he hit's you" adam said in a serious tone as the expression on his face turned into anger.. not at christina, but at matt. he was hurting her, he was beating her every night, adam couldn't take that fact.. he cared so much about christina, more than she'll ever know

christina's heart rate sped up in a matter of seconds as she pulled her hand away from adam "n-no that's not why, i just have so much to do at home and-" he cut her off

"stop it, don't you dare stick up for him, don't lie to me christina. it's obvious he's hurting you" adam said in an angrier tone

christina's tears started falling hard as she lowered her head in sadness "please don't tell anyone" she said as her voice cracked

adam sighed and pulled her into a tight hug "i'm gonna kill him, i'm gonna kill him" he repeated as his blood was boiling from so much anger

she was being abused by a man that's suppose to love her, not cause her pain. it all added up, the way she wasn't breathing properly, the way she wasn't leaning back in her chair, the way she never talked to anyone on set. it all made sense, and it took him this long to figure it out..
