Inevitable Turns

27.Ultimatums in relationships,ever heard of that?

Isabella's P.O.V

The past few days have been hard after the Zachary thing.I try my best not to think about it but it always comes back like a haunted memory.Accept it and move on but this time I wasn't going but it was easy. Everyday seeing Josh pains me a bit.

I enter our room and see Josh sitting on the couch. "Hey,"I smile at him but he just looks at me with a blank reaction.

"Did you lie to me and about what?" I freeze.His eyes hooded and afar but still burning me down.What is he talking about?It couldn't be..?No way.

"What are you talking about?"I ask him causually,knowing there's no way he can be talking about that night and I didn't lie about anything else.

"Are we really doing this?"he almost whispers as he pinches the bridge of his nose,his eyes not meeting mine.

"What are you talking about Josh?Look at me,"I tell me getting a bit annoyed as I stand near the table,opposte him.

"Really Iz?"he asks me with hurt in his eyes as I feel he knows but how was the question.As if going to tell him,no way.If he will know, everything I've worked on will go to waste.I knew he would have killed him right there that day but now I don't know what he'll do.I'd never lie to him but I did it to protect him.He wouldn't understand it but I had to.He already has a case history and the last thing I want is for him to got to prison killing someone because of me.I'd never live after that. When I look back at him,his entire face is filled with anger,almost like that day but even worse,scaring me a bit.I've never seen him like this.

"I'm talking abut him trying to ruffy you,"he yells as he stands up pointing his finger at me as I shrivel back.He is really scarying me now but the only thing in my head is how did he know.I didn'tt ell anyone,not a soul.There's no way he knows.As if already knowing what I'm thinking he gives me the answer.

"If it wasn't for Leilani,you wouldn't have told me would you?"he aks me but I don't answer,kowing that's the truth.It hurt me lying to him but I had to do it but now there was no point.

"Do you even know how big that is,do you Iz?He tried to rufy and rape you.For hell sake rape you,"he aks shaking my shoulders as I jerk away from him.

"But he didn't, I'm fine,"I yell at him as the memory replays in my head.The ways he handcuffed me,kissing me against my will,his hands roaming my skin while I couldn't do anything but let it happen.

"You're fine,really.You think you're fine?You are lying to yourself Iz,"he yells and that's it I'm not going to listen to this if all he wants to do is yell at me over it.I am about to walk away when his hand stops me.

"What?Are you done rubbing it in my face Josh?"I yell annoyed to a point never before.

"You think I'm rubbing it in your face?You told me he did nothing Iz,nothing.Was that nothing?Do you expect me to be fine when someone tried to do that to you.You aren't something hat just goes and coems in my life Iz,you're my purpose and reason.You think I'm going to be fine with it?Maybe if you told me, but you lied Iz,"he says as it stings me bad.I did lie to him but he wouldn't ever understand why and having this fight with him is pointless.Pointless but hurt me bad,the words and way he's yelling at me.I understand he's hurt but that isn't the way for him to let it out but then again you lied to him,you have to fix this,I tell mself as I take few deep breaths.

"Yes,I lied and I'm sorry but you don't have anyrights to yell at me like that Josh.I know I hurt you but I did it for you.And for Zach nothing really happened other than what you know.He tried to ruffy me but it didn't happen and no he didn't rape me because you came on time,"I tell him as his anger clams down a bit.
