The Ex-Wife

Seven

We had been driving all day and we barely spoke to each other after our little 'sing-a-long' sometimes we would make a passing comment to each other 'nice weather' or 'I think we made a wrong turn' which then would be occupied by 'and you got me shot at'. Even after our little moment he still drove me crazy... which was one of the reasons why I married him and divorced him too, but god he makes me angry! Finally we entered Townsville and I was actually quiet shocked at how far we drove away 2 nights ago. I looked at the dashboard and the small clock read 10:30pm, I pulled my head from the window and looked around I saw Brick pull up his red hoodie around his head.

"What are you doing?" I asked

"Here" Brick said reaching over to the back of the car and shoved a blanket onto my head

"Wha-"

"Put that over your head and lay low" He ordered I looked at him like he had grown an extra head, however I HATED being told what to do and when the orders are coming from Brick I usually ignored him. And now was one of them times.

"I don't think so..."

"Fucking hell Blossom just listen to me! You never listen to me! Even when it might save your goddamn life!" He hissed violently at me I looked into his burning red eyes and I suddenly felt very small so I 'hid' under the blanket. I felt Brick slow the car down as he turned corners but then the car suddenly jolted and a rammed into the dashboard in front of me causing my head to slam off the side, I moaned in pain until...

'BANG BANG BANG'

Gunshots. I had no doubt in my mind that's what they where, It made sense now why Brick had told me to get under the blankets it was because we where nearing our apartments and the people who attacked us might still of been there, and by the sounds of it they where. The car swerved and swerved quickly I was so scared I was going to fall out when the car stopped. My anger burned my nerves away as I peeked out from the blanket, we were parked in a small ally way it was barely pitch black and Brick was holding a gun in his right hand looking over his shoulder.

"WHAT THE MOTHERF-" Brick muffled my screams by slapping his hand across my face and shoving me back down into the chair

"I swear to god Blossom I will kill you if you so much a utter a single word!" He hissed

My eyes bulged and my stomach dropped, he has never spoken to me like that not when we got divorced not when we rowed NEVER. I got this extremely strange feeling in my throat and the air got knocked out of me. Brick pressed himself against me when I heard footsteps rush past (obviously the people who shot at us again) but my mind was stuck on pause.

'I will kill you' 'I will kill you'

It was ringing in my mind over and over again, I mean sure he had told me before he wants to kill me but never with such venom. Brick slowly got up from me and looked around.

"Right I think their gone are you okay?" He asked me

"Okay? OKAY?" I stood up and jumped out of the car, I felt drops of rain hitting my face. Great just what I needed.

"Errr what's wrong?" He asked I didn't listen to him though I began walking up towards the front of the ally way.

"Bloss-" Brick reached for me but I spun back facing him tears pooling at my eyes

"You wanted me dead how the fuck do you think I feel!" I screeched at him the rain fell harder making both of our hair stick to our faces.

"Oh no you don't! Don't think your fooling me by 'crying'" He added quotation marks around crying "And what are you talking about dead? I never said I wanted you dead!" He yelled back at me
