You are mine ~ Bennoda ✔️

••• 8. Beaten up •••

Chester's PoV

"Cora... I gotta say. You look nice today." Mike was checking Cora out. This hurt more then every time I got beat up. Cora bit her lip "You always do." She had a seductive tone.

"We heard about our relationships. What about yours, Cora?" Mike smiled at Cora. "I'm not seeing anyone. But that can be changed."

I can't believe it. Mike is nearly cheating on me right in front of me! Does he want to get rid of me that desperately? I felt terrible! My eyes started watering. Mike can't be serious. He can't be right? He said he'd love me forever. Was it all a lie? How could he do this? We have a fucking family! This will hurt the kids too! If he would be flirting with anyone right now that would be me! Especially now... I crossed my legs.

"Yes it can." Mike said back at her, I must've sworn he winked at her.

Then he whispered to me "Getting mad Chazzy?"

What?! This was all some sick joke?!

"Was this a joke?" I just asked. "Yeah. Of course." Mike said. Cora did not look amused.

Cora asked Mike "Have you ever... Experimented, with other guys? Like, one time in high school or....?"

He shook his head "no, I don't think I have."

"So you're not sure?" She said. Looking rather angry.

"Well, maybe when I was drunk. I think not tho." Mike started getting uncomfortable.

"How often did you drink in high school? We know Chester's answer so why bother." Cora rolled her eyes at me. "N-not a lot." Mike answered. "So Chester never pressured you into drugs or drinking? He seems like the kind of guy." Cora glanced at me. Mike spoke "No, Chester wasn't like that. Never will be never was."

Cora seemed to pretend like she didn't just say a bunch of bullshit about me...

"I saw on the Linkin Park site that there will be another tour." She smiled. We both nodded "Yeah, it's probably gonna be minutes to midnight." I smiled. I really love touring.

She kept glancing at our hands... she finally spoke up about them "You guys know what the Bennoda rings are right? Why are you guys wearing matching rings?"

Because it's our wedding ring...

"Mike and I have very similar taste in many things. That's why we're such great friends." I said. Mike smiled at me. Cora looked annoyed with the answer but forced a - once again - creepy smile, I guess some people just have that. "Oh okay." She gritted her teeth. Maybe she was just having a bad day.

"Are you okay, Cora?" I asked. She looked at me angrily "I thought this was an interview about you two. Not me.". "Well, yeah but...." I mumbled. "let's continue then." She interrupted me. Mike and I glanced at each other and nodded awkwardly.

After the interview. Back home.

She was asking some shady questions. It was freaking me out. 

Mike went to get groceries and I was watching the kids.

I was just sitting on the couch until the doorbell rang, I went to the door to answer is. Once I saw who it was, My skin grew pale, My heart started pounding and I got dizzy.

"Hey there Little brother.". I couldn't answer for a while. It was too overwhelming. "W-what are y-you doing here?" I stuttered."Still got that stuttering problem, eh?" He let himself in. "Remember Chazzy. How you were the reason that I spent 20 years in Prison?" He chuckled, pinning me against the wall. Lila, Otis and Draven had to come in at the wrong time. "D-daddy?" My brother looked over at them, then back to me with a disbelieving smile "Chester Charles Bennington has 3 kids. Wow. Poor kids.". My eyes started watering. My brother laughed as soon as he noticed the tears "aww, you gonna cry again Chazzy. Is it all too much for you again? Why don't you just try and kill yourself again."

I spoke up to the kids "K-kids. To your brother's room please." They obeyed.

"Brother? There's 4? So did that Mike guy finally see how useless and disgusting you are?" He spat. I won't let him do this to me again. You know what. Fuck him! "No because not everyone's a dick like you." My brother backed off, he didn't expect that of the guy he once knew as a shy quiet boy. "You finally grew a pair! But Chester, Shut the fuck up." I felt a sharp pain on my cheek as his hand slapped my cheek.

He laughed. Not this time. My hands were clenched into fists and before he could expect it, I punched his jaw. He looked so surprised. I didn't seem like the skinny scared kid. But I gotta say, I'm freaking terrified now.

My brother pushed me against the wall and started repeatedly hitting an kicking me until I was on the floor with a bloody face. He spat on me and left the house. I got up and knocked on Jaime's door "you can come out now.... uhm... not downstairs tho.." I ran back downstairs before the kids could see me like this.

I cleaned the blood from the floor and I headed for the shower. I walked into Jaime. Fuck. He gasped as he saw my face "Dad! What happened?!". I sighed "it's nothing important. I'll be fine. Don't worry... and don't tell the others." "D-do you need any help?" Jaime asked. "Please watch your siblings for me okay? And when Dad gets home tell him to go up stairs. Oh and Jaime... please uhm... can you clean the remaining blood downstairs?" I knew I didn't have time to do that, I didn't want mike to see me all bloody so I had to shower first. Jaime nodded and went to Lila's room, everyone was there.

I went to the master bathroom and decided to shower. I stepped in the hot shower and the wounds burned. Blood mixed with the water as it was pouring down the drain.

This chapter kinda sucked, sorry.
