The widower

Chapter 6

Perries POV:
I woke up to an empty bed and a quiet house for once. Then I remembered me and jade yesterday I smiled and turned on my phone. I saw the time it was 8:55 I had to be in work for 9:00 "shit" I got out of bed and ran to the wardrobe taking out my uniform. I ran downstairs and jumped about putting on my heels. "Morning mummy" Leo said standing in the doorway. "Morning bud is jade still here" he nodded and jade came up behind me and hugged me. "Jade not to be rude but I'm running late can you do me a huge favour and look after the kids today" she said yes and Lucy and Lydia clung to my legs "mummy not go" Lydia said I really didn't need this "I have to go and play" she pouted "lydia go and see jade I need to go to work" she crawled off and I kissed jades cheek "see you later babe" "bye" she smiled and I rushed out the door.

I got to my work. I'm a waitress at a bar in town. I hate it to be honest but it pays my bills and feeds the kids. The night shifts are the worst the restaurant turns into a club by 11:00 and the dirty men just disgust me. Even in the day they think they can just grab me and slap my ass it's vile. I walked in and the manager Zayn tutted at me "late again Edwards that's money off your pay" I sighed "I'm sorry mr Malik it won't happen again" he shook his head "you said that last time now get to work" the bar was at the outskirts of town and it was mostly only alcoholics druggies and perverts who came in. There was a man sat at the bar with an empty glass "oi Blondie I need a refill" I nodded and filled him a beer. "Cheers" he slurred staring at my cleavage. "So what's this about you and a football player" zayn said placing his hand on my ass. "What are you on about" I said passing another customer there drink. "You've been seen kissing a footballer" I shrugged "I need to get to work" he grabbed my wrist "nu uhh you know what happens when you don't answer me do you want that to happen again" I shook my head straight away. If you don't follow the rules you get whipped and it kills you never know where it's gonna hit you. "So I'll ask you again have you been seen kissing a footballer" why is this his business anyway "yes" he grabbed my top "yes what" my throat went dry "yes sir" he let me go and I swallowed hard. I hate this job.

Jades POV:
The kids were all asleep so I decided to look around. I wasn't being nosey you could just call it curious. I walked upstairs into perries bedroom and opened the Wardrobe she only had a few dresses. I pulled out the bottom drawer and she had a few pairs of shorts that I'd love to see her in. I looked in her drawer next to her bed her bra's and pants were in there. I picked up a pair of her pants and sniffed them. "Fuck I'm taking these home." Last night was so good I couldn't process it still. "Jade what are you doing with my mummy's pants" Leo said from behind me. "Uhh nothing bud should we go see mummy at work" he nodded and rubbed his eyes. I put the twins car seat in the back and put them in it and Leo day in the front on his booster seat. I put in my music and sang. "Mummy's good at singing you know" he said patting his lap "is she" he nodded "we'll have to get her to sing sometime then" her looked out the window and then at the back seats "your cars huge" I smiled "thanks Leo" he played with his toy aeroplane looking out the window "it's like how daddy's was" I didn't know what to say it's a bit awkward me talking about his dead dad "uhh what was your daddy like Leo" he sighed "really nice I miss him he loved mummy so much she misses him still but she doesn't like to talk about it a lot because she tries and makes us happy" he seemed ok so I thought I'd ask a few more questions "and umm what happened to mummy when daddy passed away" he put his plane down "she was sad she didn't move about or talk she just cried and she used to bleed on her arms so she had to go away for a bit so we stayed with nana and Ellie" Perrie had self harmed and gone into rehab I think he was on about. I put on another genre of music and he rocked out.

We got to her work and it was not looking good it was called the 'wild Beaver saloon' we walked in and perrie was serving drinks "oi sexy where's my drink" she sighed and walked to the bar pouring him a drink and walking over giving it to him he didn't even say thank you. I sat in a quiet corner with the kids and watched the way the men were treating her. "Where's the manager I've got a complaint" she sighed "he's gone out he shouldn't be back until later" he slammed his drink down "well call him then" a man in a suit walked out "what's the problem gentlemen "I've got 2 complaints" Perrie looked down tearing up "ok go ahead" he took a swig of his drink "well first of all this slut isn't doing her job properly" Perrie looked so scared "and next I think your employers should wear less the tight skirt and blouse doesn't work anymore how about just in their bra and pants or some sexy lace" the manager laughed snd nodded "I'll take it into consideration Perrie what's going on" she was nearly crying poor thing "I I didn't do anything I promise" the manager grabbed Perrie by the Color and dragged her into the back. I can't just sit here I've got to go and save my girl. I picked the kids up and told them to sit behind the bar and don't come out until I say so. I walked to a room and I heard smacking sounds and some crying. "Please no more please" she cried out I opened the door a bit and ...

Perries POV:
The stinging sensation on my back was horrible I can't cope with it anymore. He whipped me again with his leather belt hard across my side. Silent tears came down and I just froze I felt numb. "Here comes the big one" there was a pause and then a huge slash came down my right shoulder. There was a loud bang and then a pair of arms behind me. These arms felt safe. I cried into her arms. I'd beeen putting up with this for 3 years and not said a word at least now it would finally be over. Hopefully.
