We've only just begun (A TW FanFiction - Book 1)

Part Forty-Four

Rheanna's POV

What am I going to do? How could she not of told me about being married. I never even got an invite to the wedding, even after everything. She comes back in with a big smile on her face. She is holding two cups of tea and she looks like she has fully recovered from hearing my story. "Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost" She asks worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine" I reply, forcing a smile on my face. She gives me a weird look, before going back into the other room. As she goes, I look at her hand and notice her wedding ring, and a necklace she is wearing, which is in a shape of a love heart. It reads "Mrs Pywell". So it's true then! I can't hide the truth from her. How could Wouter do this to her? She is such a nice person and she hasn't ever done anything to hurt anyone and what about the baby? She is too young to go through this! I need her to know, but I can't be the one to tell her! He needs to tell her everything and as if I wasn't feeling stressed enough with the trial just around the corner and the fact that I'm five months pregnant. Just then I hear the lock turning on the front door and the door opening. "Honey! I'm home!" A familiar voice shouts, in a loving tone. He then comes into the living room, where I am still left sitting. He is holding a rose and a bottle of wine. He stops dead in his tracks and almost drops the bottle. Then Lauren walks in with a big smile on her face.

"What are you doing here?" He asks, suspiciously.

"Erm, well" I begin, but I am interrupted by Lauren.

"Oh don't you remember? I told you that I was having an old school friend stay with us because she has been going through a lot lately and what's that, a rose! What for?" She asks him smiling.

"Yes, I remember and it's for you" He smiles, handing her the rose. I just look down, so that Lauren can't see the expression on my face.

"Guilty conscience? What have you done?" She laughs, looking at the rose.

"No, I just love you. Do I need a reason? Where's Frankie-Olivia?" He asks.

"She's at my mums. Speaking of which I better go and fetch her" she smiles, kisses him on the cheek and then heads to the door. "Bye baby" She turns back and winks at Wouter, "And I'll see you later Rheanna" She then leaves. For about two minutes me and Wouter just sit there in silence, before one of us actually speaks up.

"You need to tell her the truth" I tell him, awkwardly. He looks around and straight at me. He has a sad expression on his face.

"I can't" he says quietly.

"Don't tell me you can't when there is no reason you can't. It's just that you don't have enough balls! Now man up and tell your wife the truth. She might not see through the wine and roses, but I for one do and you can't keep lying to her!" I tell him.

"You don't know what it's like for me, Rheanna. This will kill her! And I don't see the point in breaking her heart over just one kiss"

"One kiss! Yes only because I walked in and saw you, or who knows what would have happened!"

"Look, I will tell her! I promise, but after the trial. There's no point you and her falling out because you know, is there" He says, smiling a little bit, like he's onto a winner or something. So we agree to keep it quiet until the trial is over.

*Two days later*

I roll out of bed and I am greeted by some loud noises coming from the room next door. Either they are wrestling or doing something else. I look at the alarm clock, which is by the bed. It reads "7.30". I have two hours till I am due in court. I am shaking with nerves and I have no idea how today is going to go. Not to mention the fact that I haven't even told anyone about what he did to me. Sure I've said "he hurt me" but that's as far as telling someone I have been. I get dressed and ready for court, and then I look at the clock again. It's not 7.55. It's approaching so rapidly. I am so nervous, I feel like I can't breathe. I look in the mirror to find, a woman wearing a black suite with bags under her eyes and looking ten years older than she actually is. I also see a woman, who has been hurt and abused and a woman that is filled with pain and nerves. I never used to look like this. I used to strong. The noises have finally stopped now. I then look at the clock once more and it is now "8.10". I better go and get something to eat. I go down stairs to find wouter sitting in his boxers with a fag in his mouth, watching TV. When I first met him, I never thought that he would live like this. He looks round and sees me looking at him. Then he looks away again, nervously. I then leave the room and go into the kitchen to get some breakfast. There I find Lauren. She is sat feeding Frankie-Olivia. She looks up at me and smiles, whilst whipping some yogurt from Frankie's mouth, with a spoon and shovelling it back into her mouth. "You look smart. Are you all ready?" she asks me.

"Yeah, bit nervous though" I tell her, whilst helping myself to some cereal.

"Don't worry about it Wouter assured me that Angel is good. She won't let Lewis win" she smiles again.

"Are you coming then?" I smile back, even though I am dying inside. He speaks to Lauren about Angel? He is truly a dirty man whore! Now I'm not acting like I'm a saint because I know I'm not! But him! Him! I hate him! I then look at the clock, once more. Only to see that it is 8.30. We have to leave now, or we will be late. I am shaking more than ever now. I scoop the remaining few pieces of cereal from the bowl, before getting up. We all get in the car with those two in the front sand me in the back with the baby. She is so cute, it just makes me think about the fact that I will have my own little baby boy, soon. Wouter begins to drive and the journey feels like it takes forever. We are all sitting in silence and I'm just waiting until I can finally breathe again. We park up outside the court house, and I just freeze. Frankie decides to pock me in the face, before almost wetting herself, laughing. Everyone gets out, and I do too, only it feels like I'm going in slow motion. I step out of the car and I almost faint, however Lauren manages to put her arm around me to stop me falling over completely. Then all of a sudden I see him, Lewis! He is walking into the courthouse like he's done nothing wrong, with Max, Jay, Kelsea, Tom, Maria, Siva, Claire and even Rach. They all look over at me and begin to point. Then Jay says something to Kelsea and they both begin to come over to us. What the hell do they want?
