War of Love {Sequel to Family War}

Chapter 5

Fifteen minutes had passed since Monique locked herself in the bathroom of her apartment. She sat herself down on her toilet seat, trying to think of what to do as James stood outside the door, pleading for her to open up. 

The sudden hollow echo of his knuckles scratching against the door was enough to drive her insane if continued for longer. She didn't like t be in a vulnerable and terrified state. She had always tried to act tough and put up a brave image to protect herself and her sister, but she wasn't that strong as it seemed, in fact she was far from it.

"Monique...sweetheart" James sighed, as he continued to slowly scratch against the door. "I promise I won't hurt you if you open the door. I just wanna talk" he said as calmly as possible, but she wasn't buying any of it.

"You are so full of shit, fuck you" she cursed before getting up from the toilet seat and walking towards the door. 

"Fuck me? after everything I've done for you, you fucking-

"You took advantage of me, James!" she snapped quickly cutting me off. "I tried to run away from you so many times, but you had me trapped. I couldn't speak for myself back then, I didn't know what I was doing and I would've done anything to get some money, even sleeping with a pathetic and lonely bastard like you, but I'm done with that so just leave me the fuck alone".

The silence that took over as I finished my rant was almost deadly, and it felt as if something were about to happen. 

"You think you're all so special now, huh?" James scoffed, placing his hand on the door, as Monique clenched her fists tightly, whilst looking around for something she could use to protect herself. "Let me tell you something you probably don't already know... you have a very nasty attitude, and you're a pain to be around, and one day your precious David is gonna give up hope on you and leave you, just like your mother and father did... and your sister too".

As he finished of his last sentence, whilst chuckling to himself, Monique could feel rage began to radiate from her body. Her eyes were like a demon's; fiery and full of hatred and waiting for an opportunity to just explode. 

She was about to open her mouth to speak up once again, but was quickly interrupted by a loud knock coming from her front door, and immediately wondered who it could be. Several seconds later, she then heard someone forcefully barge open the door, and she quickly rushed out of the bathroom to see two police officer's rushing over to tackle James to the floor and handcuff him from behind, and confusion began to fill her mind.

She watched as James screamed and tried to fight out of the grip, till one of the police officer's stood up to acknowledge her. "Are you alright?" he asked, causing her to take a step back. She had felt uneasy about cops ever since her father was killed by one when she was a little girl. "Its okay I'm not gonna hurt you. We got a call saying that he had forced himself into your home and threatened you with a gun" he explained, as she scrunched up her face bewilderingly.

She rubbed her forehead frustratingly about to speak up, till she looked ahead spotting David leaning on her door frame. As the two police officers rapidly picked up James and dragged him out the front door, David placed his hands on his hips and looked at her worriedly before speaking up. "After we finished talking you forgot to end the call so I heard everything and called the cops right away... I thought he was seriously gonna hurt you, I was very worried" he said, as he slowly walked over to her.

Monique glanced down at her window to see James being forced into the backseat of the police car from outside, before turning her attention back to David. Without realising it, her heart began to fill up. She knew that he cared for her, but she didn't deserve it for him to do something like this.
