Chapter 16

Somewhere during the night Mark came home. Cheyenne didn’t even notice. The last few days were too much for her body and mind and she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning she woke up. Mark was sitting next to her in bed, looking at her while tears were streaming down his face. At first Cheyenne didn’t know what’s wrong and when she tried to reach for him, her body screamed in protest. It hit her like a ton of bricks… she was so stiff , she could barely sit up straight.

“What the fuck have I done to you baby! What the hell did I do to you? Look at your face, God I was so drunk how could I do this to you? I went crazy. Oh Hon , how am I ever going to make up for this mess?”

Cheyenne sit up very slowly, trying to ignore her aching muscles.

“Mark I don’t know what went through your head yesterday, but I’m sorry I’ve never been treated like this in my whole life. Your childish jealousy towards a rock star is pathetic and then you used Jon as an excuse to rape me….Yes Mark rape me. Why do you look at me like that ,what do you call it kinky sex?”

Mark just stared at her, his faced an unhealthy grey colour.

“I know it has been hard on you when you lost your job. Do you think you are the only one suffering? Now you think drinking and staying out with your buddies will make it better, well it won’t Mark. It won’t pay the bills….And let me tell you something now that you are sober. Try and hit me again and I will make sure you land with your ass in jail ,do you understand me? If you are not interested in a relationship anymore tell me, and I’ll go. Cause I’m not gonna be some man’s punching bag and sex toy…’

Mark just stared at her with shock written all over his face.

“Honey I’ve never meant for this to happen. I lost my head yesterday. Oh God I don’t know how I’m going to make up for all the shit I’ve caused! But I’m gonna try and be a better man. I am so sorry”

And with that he stood up and pull her into his arms. Cheyenne flinched when he hugged her too tight. Her body was one mass of pain. Mark pulled back and realised the damages was worse than he thought.

“I’m going to take a shower , cause I’m going to be late for work.”

He stroked the bruise on her cheek, his face flaming from embarrassment.

To think I did this to her beautiful face.

Mark turned around and went to the bathroom , his shoulders slumping.

While he was busy in the bathroom Cheyenne went to get clothes for her to wear for the day. She had to call the office.

I just know Mr. Sunshine is going to have a major anurism. But I cannot show up like this at the office.

Cheyenne took of her nightdress and walked towards the bed where he clothes lay. She heard a sharp intake of breath when she turned around. Mark’s was standing there , staring at her.

“ You’re whole body is full of bruises, your arms, your stomach,your legs even your beautiful breasts. I’m a fucking monster! Look what I did to you!”

He walked closer and fell on his knees in front of her.

“ I am so sorry baby, this will never happen again, that I promise you!”

They stood like that for a while, when they heard his telephone ringing.

“ I have to go, I guess its Shaun calling to find out where I am. I’ll see you tonight ok baby?”

Mark lowered his head and kissed her softly on the lips , turned around and walked out.

Cheyenne walked towards to bathroom, when she pulled down her panties to sit down on the toilet, she felt a burning sensation when she peed and when she wiped herself everything was full of blood...

Yeah he really tried to tear me into pieces yesterday, and by the looks of it he almost succeeded.

Cheyenne got dressed and decided to call Mr. Sunshine.
