The Wife (Sequel to SUGAR)

Killer

Leah's pov

I watch as Sugar mends Joey's wounds. Joey winces from time to time, gripping the couch as Sugar pulled the stitching through. It was uncomfortably silent, for the first time in weeks.

"You haven't been this quiet since you were mute all those years."Joey says.

Sugar doesn't respond, finishing the last stitch and cutting his needle free. He then stands, closing his first aid kit and turning away from Joey.

"I don't like when your mad at me Sugar."Joey says.

"Then don't do things that would make me cross."Sugar says walking away.

"Sugar, you know all to well how i was feeling."Joe says, standing.

Sugar halts and turns to face Joe.

"You don't deserve him as a Son."He says, making Joey's face go pale.

Sugar walks into the other room and Joe looks at me.

"What's wrong?"He asks.

"What do you mean?"i ask, walking over to the kitchen.

"You look frazzled."He says, sitting down.

"I might be."I shrug. 

"You'd better go after Sugar."he huffs.

I nod, walking off towards Sugar. I see him leaning against the wall, glaring out the window. 

"What are you thinking about?"I ask, making him turn around.

He turns back to the window as he speaks.

"When I got shot, when the ambulance got there. Jord was in it. He resuscitated me, and when i woke up him smiled at me. He told me he was going to take everything I loved from me. And then he put me to sleep."He says.

"Awe, babe."i say, walking over to him, placing my hand on his shoulder. 

He places his hand on mine.

"I'm happy to have you back."He says.

"You're happy to have me back? I thought you were dead!"i chuckle. 

He smiles, pulling me into a hug.

"Did you mean what you said to Joe?"I ask into his chest.

"With both of my hearts."He says. 

"Baby."i groan.

"I know that you're all for seeing the good in people, but that's unforgivable. I can't even imagine what Ethan had to go through."Sugar says.

"He's lonely."I say, watching the storm clouds through the window. 

"I should've let Ethan kill him."Sugar says, making me chuckle.

"I can tell he has a taste for it now, spending all that time with Jord."I say. 

"My brother was a coward."Sugar says, shaking his head.

"He was."i say.

.... ...

Ethan slowly walks down the dark hallway. He hears his fathers snoring in the livingroom and approaches. He see's his father, asleep on the couch. He tilts his head at his sleeping father before walking past him, to the kitchen. He begins searching, looking for the biggest, sharpest blade he could find. 

He opens the bottom drawer, were Sugar kept the bigger knives. He smiles, picking the biggest blade up and examining it. He then looks up, making sure his father was still asleep. He pushes the drawer closed with his foot and walks into the living room where his father was peacefully sleeping.
