"it hurt him too, you know that right?" Jacklynn said, now standing over Vanessa "seeing his wife killed before him. Having to think about his children without a mother. a husband without his wife. It hurts him more than what he lets show." She set down a plate of apple turnovers and left the room
She opened her eyes gently sighing a few minutes passed and she was gently crying
Brink had stayed in the kitchen, letting the kids go with Jack's for a fun day while he stayed in the house. He sat on the table, subconsciously playing with his wedding ring while his mind wandered back to a few nights ago
Vanessa got up limping to thier bedroom she shut the door locking it laying on the bed she cried her heart out
Brink let silent tears fall as he continued to think. He stood after a few minutes and went to his training room, needing to let some emotions out. Stripping off his shirt, he hauled himself up on the hoop and swung himself back and forth, waiting for the music to start
Vanessa let out a piercing scream before continuing to cry
He sighed softly and dropped down from the hoop, not bothering to put his shirt back on. He slowly made his way up to their room and sat against the door "Kitty Cat, so beautiful, chace a butterfly…" he sang softly
She continued to cry , harder this time
"Let me be yours they said, let me fly with you…" his voice cracked slightly and he was forced to take a breath "you will alway's be mine, he said, prosing all of eternity for her."
She croaked out an 'im sorry' before continuing her sobbing
"It's not your fault my cat." he said softly "can I come in?" he asked, standing and leaning against the door
She stood unlocking the door and opening it her eyes red and swollen tears rolling down her cheeks as she sniffled
He sighed in relief and pulled her close, shutting the door behind him and pulling her into bed. "it's okay kitty, it's okay.."
" No it's not I'm sorry I'm so sorry if I could've just been better It wouldn't have happened I'm sorry I'm a horrible wife you deserve so much more more than I can give to you" she sobbed
"No, my love, how could I ask for something more when already have such a wonderful wife who has miraculously stayed with me for all these years and has provided me with two beautiful kids? hm? I don't want anyone else but you Ness. If anything I should be the one begging for your forgiveness for not protecting you like I should have from him"
She shook her head " he wanted you dead he told me but I couldn't let him brink I'd much rather kill myself than have you killed" she said
“No love, don’t risk your life for me.” He pressed a kiss to her head and held her close “I’m not worth your sacrifice.” He curled around her protectively and held her to his chest
She sighed her breath shaky
"breath my cat, everything's alright." he rubbed her back and started humming the song that he had left playing downstairs.
¨I´m sorry ¨ she apologised again
"it's alright, we all have our off days. some last for more than a day." he pressed a kiss to her brow and stroked her hair "still not hungry yet? I can bring the food up here if you don't want to move." he asked gently
she shook her head ¨I don´t want anything¨ she said
"okay, that's fine." he rested his hand on top of hers and continued to hum the song that was playing "my poor kitty cat, feeling crappy today."
she nodded burying herslef in his chest
He gently pulled away from her and stood. He shut the black out curtains and turned on the black lights, illuminating the room in a hazy purple. His tattoo's glowed neon in the purple light as he settled besides Vanessa again
