Stay 2: The Untold Chapter

Chapter 9. Another Problem

Charlie's P.O.V

I woke up and I stared at him for an hour before getting up. I didn't know what to do anymore about the pain in my chest every time he holds me or kisses me, or whenever he tells me he loves me. I just miss the whole idea of laughing and not frowning soon afterward. I also loved the idea of my husband not cheating on me.

I walked towards the kitchen wondering what's next. Ever since I was 17 there's always been some sort of drama I didn't understand. I hate the idea of having to deal with all that crap all over again. I grab a cup of ginger tea and sit on one of the island chairs. Brianna walks in tying her robe.

"Hey." She pours herself a cup of coffee

"Hey."

"How are you today?" She walks towards me

"Fine." I look down at my tea

"You're gonna have to ask him about it sooner or later."

"I'm not asking my husband why he cheated on me." I sigh and stir my tea

"You look like something I'd fish out of a junkyard dude. You look horrible honestly." She sighs "You're not sleeping, barely eating anything anymore, and I see how uncomfortable you are around him."

"I can't pretend like it didn't happen. I can't keep sitting here and pretending like the pain is all gone. Brianna, I'm tired of the wars, the fights, the deaths, and the burning of my dream home. I want peace for once in my life." Tears start to stream out of my eyes

"I get that, but us being the children of criminals and living life as we've never worked for anything in our lives is not gonna help anyone."

"Brianna we have to end this. After all this Keith drama I'm done. I'm leaving everything that involves the Olson Coulson family behind." I get up and leave the kitchen before she could change my mind

I walked up to my room. I slowly entered hoping I wouldn't wake Kristen up. I walked in slowly and looked over to the bed and he's still covered in our sheets. I hop on over to the bathroom and close the door. I rinse my face off with water before deciding to take a shower. After filling the bathroom with steam I step into the water and let it roll down my body. I didn't hear the door open but the next thing I know Kristen is behind me. He kisses my neck and wraps his arms around me. I ease into him while taking in the water. I smile at every kiss he plants. I miss these moments when we were happy, at peace with each other. When I thought Kristen could never betray me like this. I close my eyes and try to concentrate on the water instead of him. After a few minutes of standing in the water and teasing each other. I turn the water off and walk out in a towel. I dry my hair with another towel. Kristen walks out with one towel wrapped around his waist. He walks into the closet and grabs a pair of sweat pants and a plain T-shirt.

"What are you doing today?" I ask

"Nothing much. I'm going to see Keith." He responds while combing his hair

"Why do you want to go see him?"

"I need to know why he burned down the house." He puts on his pair of sweatpants

"Oh." I simply respond while I apply lotion on my arms "How do you know it's him?"

"Cause of something he said." He grabs his keys

"Oh okay. Good luck then."

He nods and says "I love you."

"Hmm.." I smile and walk into the closet

He sighs before leaving the room.

Kristen's P.O.V

I sigh before leaving the room. She hasn't said it in a while. She only said it once and that was pretty much it. She even tenses up when I try to hold her. She isn't comfortable around me anymore. I'm surprised she even let me shower with her. I thought she would've yelled at me to get the fuck out or something.
