Gone 2 Long (Christen Press/You)

Chapter 5

CHRISTEN's POV

5 YEARS AGO

Fear went through my body. I didn't know how she was going to react. What was there for me to do? My girlfriend was going to be home any moment now. I sat in our bedroom as I heard the front door unlock. Fuck.

She walked in quietly and entered our room. Y/n didn't say anything. She didn't even make eye contact with me. She just put her things down. Maybe striking up conversation will calm her?

"Hey babe how-"
"Are you serious? You're trying to start a conversation with me? What the hell is wrong with you Chris?"

My eyes began to water. Why am I so sensitive?! Sheesh. Luckily, knowing where this was going to go, Braelynn is out with my dad and sister right now.

I looked over at the picture on our night stand of our 1 year old as I was not trying to face my girlfriend.

"That's a low blow cheating on me with that sorry excuse of a guy. What the hell do you see in him?"
"Baby he came onto me I didn't even kiss him."
Y/n shook her head exiting our room and entering our living room. "You have to believe-" I begin as I followed her out the room.
"That's bullshit Chris! If you're going to cheat, at least own up to your shit!"

"Y/n why don't you believe me? I would never-"
I guess that pissed her off because she pushed one of the chairs in the living room making it hit the floor causing me to flinch.

We've been having issues a lot lately. Y/n's been stressed. We both have. I know, I've been making poor decisions but, she isn't perfect either.

"This is exactly why I wanted a DNA test for Braelynn because her mom seems to be a fucking hoe!" She shouts.

Her words struck me. Her eyes were full of rage and I no longer knew the person in front of me. My eyes watered up once again, threatening to spill.

"Me? A hoe? Really Y/n."
"You clearly don't see what you did wrong here. Who else have you been sucking face with or in bed with?"

"No one and don't talk when you can't even take ownership of our fucking child! You took my virginity and you're the only person I've ever had sex with so there's no way for Brae to be anyone else's but yours."

"IF SHE IS MY DAUGHTER WHY BOTHER CHEATING ON ME DUMBASS!"

"Have you like I don't know,  taken a step back to look at the difference of how you used to be with me and how you are now? You're a total dick Y/n."
"Tell me the truth. Did you cheat on me? Yes or no." Y/n growled.

I didn't want to tell her the truth. Not the whole truth at least. It's clear she knows I cheated but, not how everything went down. The way she's acting right now has me scared to death. Her eyes never left me.

"Answer the question Press." She rarely calls me by my last name.
"I'm sorry." I broke down as I let my tears finally fall. Before I could look back up Y/n had me against the wall.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Am I not enough for you?! Am I not giving you everything you need?! I've been here for you through everything!"

I could practically smell the alcohol on her. I wouldn't even say she's drunk but, it's apparent she had something.

I struggled to get out of her hold and the more I squirmed, the tighter her hold on my wrists got.
"Y/n, please baby, let me go we can talk about this."
Her hand moved to my throat, I know this is the wrong time but, I only like this when we're in bed.
"Ba-Babe you're hurting me." I struggled to speak before she finally let me go making me cough and gasp for air.
