“What even is this!” Jason snaps at me. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAeQxdovkrvh
“You said you-”315Please respect copyright.PENANAmiJGlWo7QG
“No, I never said that, are you stupid or something!” He slaps his hand down on the table.
Tears come to my eyes. “This is what you wanted, you asked for-”315Please respect copyright.PENANAm0wF2E5io0
“Are you questioning me?” He raises his brow. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAf8Sjbsra63
“Ja-”
He flips his plate up, I push my chair back feeling unsettled.
“Sorry I will clean this up” I whisper without meeting his eyes.
I hastily rise to my feet and grab his plate, his eyes never leave me, he grabs the plate from me making me jump, I flinch when he throws it down on the floor.
“Time after time Sophie, I have to pick the pieces up! Why is it you can’t be normal and do one thing right?” He said with pure bitterness
I try to rush away but he grabs me and pulls me back and pushes me against the wall.
“Do you take me for a fool?” He speaks through gritted teeth.
I shake my head no, I try to meet his gaze but he always has a way of making me feel so small, he bangs my head against the wall.
“Look at me baby” He taunts me.
I force myself to look into his eyes which are holding nothing but anger and hatred towards me.
“I have so much patience for you, I do everything for you, I work hard, I provide you a house with a roof over your head, I spoil both of our girls, I give you massages, even took you out for a nice meal the other night, I hold you close every night, everything I do if for you and this family and I ask one little thing of you, to cook and you can’t even get that right? What example are you showing to your girls? That you’re an idiot, incapable of doing simple things?”
My vision goes blurry with the tears that threaten to fall, he sighs and leans his forehead against mine.
“You tried okay?”
I nod my head, he kisses my head wrapping his arms around me tight, I’m shaking feeling empty on the inside, the way he always makes me feel.
“M-Mommy,” Ellie says quietly.315Please respect copyright.PENANAn2PCO6SId8
“Mommy’s okay darling, she’s just had a tough day,” Jason says softly and sways while holding me. 315Please respect copyright.PENANA01RB5IxBZq
“Awh mommy hugs!” Ellie wraps her arms around my leg.
My lip wobbles and I hide in Jason, he holds me tighter, I cling to him.
“Love you, mommy...Daddy, I’m getting hungry” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAkBXDLxh8Rw
“Dinner will be soon but silly mommy messed it up so how about a pizza?” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAUijb1Nlh82
“Yeah!” She squeals and runs out.
I look up and he looks down.
“Again...If it weren’t for me, what would you tell them huh? That you let them down with food?” He pouts.
He gently brushes my cheeks away. “Why don’t you clean up you’re looking..” he steps back. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAsvaJLiP7l0
“W-what..” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAMklptrpjjp
“Old, haggard, so off you go, clean up and try to look presentable for once in your life” He squishes my cheeks chuckling…
I’ve cleaned myself up, I go downstairs into the kitchen and Jason walks in. “Finally done..” 315Please respect copyright.PENANApZnsdDpoDZ
“I heard pizza-” 315Please respect copyright.PENANA5NDFdFw4JQ
“Oh, that...Well we were all really hungry”
I blink, he chuckles. “Only fair you know, you messed dinner up so you can cook but looking porky” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAC8gNcj1DLI
“Huh,” My voice goes high.
He chuckles. “Just a smidge but you’re beautiful to me, don’t mind cleaning up our mess do you?” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAToVQRwGHyd
“No” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAvOnsxby34t
“My angel” He pinches my nose chuckling and walks out.
Maya walks in with her pizza box. “Some spare, I was stuffed” She chuckles.
I smile and open it. “Looks yummy” I smile. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAXVc6ALqWbx
“Dad said you already ate” She taps the counter. 315Please respect copyright.PENANADphqwWOTug
“And I have, I’m really hungry and it’s..pizza” I crack a smile.
She cracks a smile, I eat some pizza which tastes amazing.
“Think I could go to a mates house for the night?” She sheepishly smiles. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAC1sn6SLWWf
“When?” I chuckle. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAU0X5uWwPzT
“Tonight, dad said eh so...Mom, know you love me”
I laugh. “Maya!” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAVm6duyGLSn
“Oh, mom please!”
Jason comes in, I smile at him. “Jason, can she go”
Maya pouts to him. “Please” 315Please respect copyright.PENANA2VZRxTSlpI
“Tough one..” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAtwyWYbnrjX
“Oh please dad, please, know you love me most! I was first born, was me for like ten years”
Jason chuckles. “Alright you can go”
She squeals jumping up and hugs him. “Thanks, dad” She runs out and his eyes meet mine.
He walks to me and grabs the pizza from me then drops it on the floor, I look down then up to him and he walks out, I lean my head back. I clean up and start to get ready for bed...As I climb into bed a small smile comes to my lips, I nestle into the pillow and stretch out, my eyes close, I hear the door creak open.
“Baby” Jason says softly.
I don’t move, my heart starts racing as I feel him come closer, he crawls on the bed.
“Baby” He kisses my shoulder.
I let a soft little moan out, his hand runs through my hair, his body presses against my back, his lips meet my ear.
“Do you take me for a fucking idiot princess?” He whispers calmly with his lips gently brushing across my ear sending chills down my spine.
I look back and his eyes give nothing away...
I stare at Jason sleeping, I look over his features, his lips slightly chapped, his age is showing, he has small fine lines by the corner of his eyes, his harsh features now soft, he looks so peaceful but it won’t last, it never does, I wedge myself out of his arms carefully. I get free of his grip. I back away on my tiptoes feeling the coolness of the wooden floor. I spin and sneak out of the room.
I take a shaky breath and do a little run down the stairs, I get to the bottom and stump my toe. I bite my lip and look back, I don’t know why I’m so nervous about walking around the house by myself. I feel like a child who is up past their bedtime trying to hide from their parents so they don’t get told off. There is no warmth in this house, very few pictures are up, the walls are plain white and plain, there is nothing warm are cozy about this house but I’m forbidden to change anything since it’s up to Jason.
I unlock the back door and step out, a small smile comes to my lips, I step into the grass, it’s damp, there’s a slight chill in the air which wraps around my body, I bite my lip looking down watching my steps on the grass, feeling it between my toes, I sit up on the swing and swing myself, a small laugh leaves my lips.

I lean my head back closing my eyes feeling the breeze through my hair, I swing higher feeling free, I open my eyes smiling which slowly fades as I see a figure by the window upstairs staring. I stop myself abruptly feeling the air leave my lungs, I look up and he’s gone. I stand up feeling my heart race, butterflies race around in my stomach. I rush to the door, I get inside, lock the door spin. Jason is stood there, it’s pitch black but I can see his figure, the way he is standing, the fact his fists are formed.
No words are said, the air grows thick, he slowly steps closer, I back against the door but it’s impossible to back away anymore. I slowly slide down the door curling up.
“I’m sorry” I struggle to find my voice.
But he does not speak and he grabs my hair and throws me lower to the floor. My cries are quiet but his fists beat drums through my ears. I try to push him back with my feet but it’s no use. I roll onto my front trying to crawl away, tears stream down my cheeks, he pulls me back with my nails dragging across the wooden floor. He hits my back, the blow knocks me flat onto my front.
“You trying to humiliate me?” His lips press against my ear and his fist clamps onto my hair. 315Please respect copyright.PENANArUp2SF3aON
“No” My voice breaks. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAk7gFB7bk6S
“Think I forgot last night and now this, I’ll humiliate you, you want to be outside fine, be my guest” He smacks my head on the floor.
He drags me to my feet, he opens the door and pushes me out, I miss the step and land flat on the stone patio. I roll onto my back and he spits at me in utter disgust, the door shuts and I hear it lock, I burst into tears and stumble to my feet.
“Jason” My voice breaks.
I lean my head on the door. I sniffle.
“I’m sorry, I want your cuddles, please..” I try to open the door. 315Please respect copyright.PENANA5fZAJeTtkI
“I’m sorry” I break down.
The door unlocks, I open it, I shakily step inside, I hold him tight, he lifts my up, I hold him tight shaking. He locks the door and carries me upstairs without a word being said. My breathing is shaky, every breath hurts. The door shuts.
“You do not leave my side” He spoke with a dry voice.
I close my eyes leaning my head on his, he lays in bed, I whimper tensing my body as I feel a shooting pain by my ribs, he shows no remorse yet I want nothing more than his forgiveness. I look up to him, I cup his cheek, I look to at his lips.
“I’m sorry Jason, I only wanted some air, it was nice feeling the wind through my hair and I..I got caught up” 315Please respect copyright.PENANAhFbpnnG3iZ
“Sleep” He presses his lips against mine and pulls me. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAqI9RLfVjxV
“Do you for-”
His hand covers my mouth. “Sleep” He orders me, his tone less soft than the first.
I nod but regret it instantly when I get a pounding feeling with it. I close my eyes tight curling up trying to sleep.315Please respect copyright.PENANALqtimqM9d1
