Black Heart

Mr. & Mrs. Russo

“Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Russo. You will receive your license within 24 hours.” I nodded and stood up. The last time we saw his mother was a week ago. I had two more weeks and I was two months pregnant. Don wasn’t taking this too well and neither was I. I always fainted and the vomiting was getting out of control. I was losing my appetite, I barely ate. “Okay..” I replied weakly, I placed my hand on the table and grabbed my bags going towards the doors. I was now a married woman. When I went outside ahead of Don I inhaled the aid that quickly made me gag. “Stop wasting time.” Don walked past me holding Andrew’s hand. Don helped Andrew into the car and walked around the car getting in. I rolled my eyes and got in the car. “seatbelt.” Don told Andrew. “okay.” Andrew put on his seatbelt and sighed. My feet were sore, I had a terrible headache. “I feel so sick,” I whispered placing my head on the door. “Stop starving yourself, you’re pregnant, you can’t do that.” Don, said driving off. “I can’t eat anything,” I replied feeling the need to vomit. “You could have a miscarriage if you don’t eat, if I have to I will tie you down and force you to eat.” He seemed serious. “I'll try, just not today.” He rolled his eyes and stopped. “get out.” I looked at him and so did Andrew. “What?” me and Andrew said at the same time. Don got out of the car and walked around. Oh, we were home. That was fast. I moaned as I opened the door, the cold air rushed against my skin. That had been making Don mad. But it’s become a habit. I moaned whenever I was in pain. I moaned nearly every second of the day. Don glared at me as he opened Andrew's door. I went towards the side walk. He had a lot of cars so he parked on the side of the road. Even though he could park it in the garage. “Mhm.” A man said walking behind me. “Hey, I'm dean. What are you doing wearing that when it’s cold?” I had on a red dress and black heels, my hair was long and curly. I ignored him and continued walking. “that's a little rude.” He said coming beside me. Don came towards me with Andrew. Don eyed the man and chuckled. I looked at Don and grabbed Andrew’s hand and continued walking. “If I catch you near her or even looking at her, I will kill you.” I heard Don say before walking past the man. “When we get in this house go upstairs immediately.” Don's voice was harsh. I was scared. “o-okay” He opened the door and stood aside letting me and Andrew in first. I immediately went upstairs. The door opened, there Don was coming near me. “take the dress off.” He said, I held my breath and did as he said. I was now almost naked. He came towards me, I walked backward hitting my leg on my heels. I moaned in pain and sat on my bed rubbing my foot. He grabbed my dress and went out of the room. I bit my lip and stood going towards my closet. I grabbed clothes and took a shower. My muscles relaxed once I turned the cold water on. Nearly everything in the bathroom was marble. The floor, counters, and the shower walls. I leaned against, the shower wall letting the water rush against my skin. I closed my eyes after turning on the hot water. I need the cold water again. I felt dizzy. I got out of the shower and quickly wrapped the towel around myself. I wanted to shower but I felt so dizzy. “Don,” I whispered, I needed something to get rid of the dizziness. “Don!” it barely came out as a yell. Soon enough I felt a rush of pain. “ah- ah!” I held my stomach and tried going towards the door. I quickly laid down and held the towel tightly. “Don..” I whispered crying. What’s the matter? Why am I feeling this? “Don!”
