Neliue POV
Getting into my room, I lay down on the bed, I try to take in deep breaths to not let my tears fall but I guess it isn't worth it. I can already feel the waterworks forming up. "Oh my god, how will I even tell them that he's never coming back? how will they even take it? I don't think they will even understand?" I just think they're still to young to have this burden on their shoulders. I'm not trying to underestimate them, God knows I'm not, maybe I'm scared, scratch that, I'm freaking terrified. This is too much for them to handle. I choose not to do this to them.
"I also can't go back now or get him back in our lives, especially when the kids are here now." I can't forget all the things he did to, the way he battered me everyday when he was drunk, I remember every whip lash, every punch, every kick to the stomach. The tears are full on now, making their way down to my cheeks. I remember everything like it just happened yesterday.
Flashback
The doorbell rings as I was sitting down on the couch flipping on some stupid shows on the TV. I leave the remote on the couch as I go to open the door for James, I knew he was the one coming home right now, obviously, we are the only people who leave in the house plus the staff but they only come in during the day and they most certainly don't come in at work at 2am in the morning drunk.
"Honey you're home." In the state he's in, my voice comes out squeaky but today I'm so happy to let it bother me. Maybe the news will change him. "He's going to love the news." I thought.
I help him get in the house. One of my arm on his shoulder, his on my waist. Even now when he's this drunk, I don't fail to notice how his touch sends shivers down my spine.
He roughly gets my arm from his shoulders. "What the hell, if you could just let me help you, you can barely walk by yourself." I yell at him
