Dear Love Of Mine

Down The Street

Marley is 4 months old now. She's gotten so big. I decided to let Kirstie watch her for a few hours while I took Mitch out. We haven't been on a date since before he got pregnant.

I know a lot of couples that have kids and then grow to hate each other because the kid 'ruins' their relationship since they have to care for them instead of each other. I don't want Mitch and I to be like that because I love him so much and don't want us to hate each other. So I explained that to Kirstie and she said she's more than happy to watch Marley for us whenever we need.

"You ready babe?" I asked Mitch as he walked out of the room.

"Yes I am. You?"

"I'm ready. Alright. Let's go."

Mitch and I walked hand-in-hand down the street after dinner. We were on our way to the movie, "How do you think Marley is?" Mitch asked.

"I'm sure she's fine hun. Don't worry. We're out to have fun and not worry about her, as much, and just enjoy being with each other."

"You're right. I'm sorry love. I really enjoy spending time with you out here. Ya know. Just walking hand-in-hand, being in each other's company. I love you."

"I love you too hun." He leaned over and kissed me, until we bumped into a man on accident.

"Sorry mate." I looked at the man we ran into. He was wearing black jeans and a black shirt under his black zip up sweatshirt. He had a black hat on his head that I realized was a ski mask. Wait.

"Yeah. Sorry. We'll just continue on."

"Uh huh. I don't think so." He looked down at Mitch and I's conjoined hands. He scoffed and grabbed our arms. He pulled us into a dark alley way.

"What're you doing?!" Mitch yelled at the man.

"I'll do whatever I want!" Mitch jumped as the man went to punch him in the face, but stopped right before his fit collided with his cheek, "You guys are together?" He asked.

I nodded, "Married." He looked over to Mitch again and pushed him to the ground, "Hey! What're you doing man?!" He gave me a disgusting look and spat at me.

"I'll do whatever I want fag!" I was taken aback. Really? Homophobic slurs. You gotta be kidding me, "Since you're both gay, I get to choose which ever one I want."

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"You'll see. You'll watch because I choose your beautiful hubby here." He ran his fingers along Mitch's jaw seductively.

"Don't touch him like that!"

"Oh it's about to get worse boy." He unzipped his jeans and grabbed Mitch's head, shoving his c0ck into Mitch's mouth.

Mitch was having a hard time as the man kept shoving himself deeper into Mitch's throat. I was completely disgusted but I couldn't do anything. I noticed the man had a gun in his back pocket. He would easily shoot me if I made a move.

"Your hubby does good. It's probably all he's worth for." I saw tears falling down Mitch's face as the man got more and more aggressive.

He ripped himself out of Mitch's mouth and Mitch let out a loud sob. I went over to him but the man hit me in the face with his gun, "Stay away from him or I'll shoot you." I backed up away from Mitch. The man grabbed Mitch as he backed up against the brick wall. When he turned him around, I knew what he was gonna do. I couldn't watch this. I started to cry. Hard. The fact that another man was inside my husband, against his own will, made me sick.

I couldn't take it anymore as I looked over to see Mitch bent over with the man thrusting into him. I got up and ran over to the man. I shoved him to the ground and picked Mitch up as he fell too.

"Mitch. Run, please. Please go get the police." I kissed him, and then I felt something. Pain. In my chest.

I looked down to see blood pouring out of my chest. I held the wound with my shaking hand, "Mitch." I fell backward onto the cold cement.

"Scott! No Scott! Stay with me baby! Don't leave me please!"

"M-Mitch." I coughed up blood and Mitch held my head up on his lap.

He ran his shaky hand through my hair as the other tried to apply pressure on my wound. I coughed up more blood.

"Scotty. P-Please love. I need you. Marley needs you honey. She needs her dad. I can't lose you. I'll lose my mind."

"Mitchy. I l-love you. So so much."

I slowly felt myself slipping. I felt numb all over as Mitch leaned down to kiss me. I'll miss him. And Marley. The two most important people in my life. I'm leaving them behind.

"I love you Scott! Please! Don't leave me!" Mitch screamed as my head started to bob back and forth. I was gone, I knew it. This was it.

"I love you Mitch." I thought when you died that it went black. But all I saw was a bright light. I knew it wasn't good and I didn't want to go. I grabbed Mitch's hand and squeezed it as tight as I could, "So much."
