Melissa's POV:

"We had everything in the palm of our hands Justin. Now, look at us. This relationship is crumbling apart bit by bit and it's beca-"

"I fuckin' know why bitch!!," Justin spats, cutting me off.

I'm at a loss for words.

Did he just...

I examine the man before me. His muscles tensed, jaw clenched, his eyes piercing into mine with pure anger.

"Shut the fuck up! I fuckin' know the gang is fuckin' up this thing we call a marriage!"

He takes a few steps closer to me, making me begin to step back.

I feel my back hit the wall and Justin places his hands on each side of me, trapping me while a look of hatred takes over him.

"No one fuckin' told you to fall in love with me! No one told you to fuck around with me, get married and get pregnant!"

I begin to mumble something and it pisses him off that he can't hear me.

"Bitch, speak the fuck up!!," he demands.

I flinch at his harsh words, I'm even scared to repeat myself.

"Say it again!," he screams.

I feel tears streaming down my face in no time.

"I-I said that we can't h-help who we fall in love with," I choke out through tears.

He laughs at me, shaking his head.

"Stupid," he scowls.

My sobs become loud and I can tell he's getting angrier.

I feel him grab my wrists roughly and I feel myself being thrown on the floor.

Pain takes over my body and it gets worse when I feel him kick me in my stomach.

"You disgust me. Can't believe I married a worthless bitch like you."

I look up at him, tears rolling down my cheeks.

He tackles me and I'm pinned to the floor. He raises his fist and forces it towards my face.

I jump up from my pillow, my face drenched in sweat.

I begin to cry, grabbing fistfuls of my hair.

Justin sits up immediately, grabbing my waist.

"N-No! Don't hurt me!," I cry out, pushing him off me.

"What? Baby, I'm not gonna-"

"Don't hurt me!!," I scream.

"Babe!," Justin calls.

I ignore him.

He cups my face in his hands, forcing me to look at him.

I see his honey brown eyes through the moon lit room and it makes me stop resisting him.

"Baby, it's me. Justin," he calmly states.

He wipes my tears with his thumb and pecks my nose.

"I'm not gonna hurt you baby girl. You know that. It was just a nightmare Melissa."

I nod and migrate closer to him, making me rest my head on his chest.

His heartbeat calms me down as I close my eyes, my breathing regulating.

"You know I love you," he whispers.

I feel him kiss the top of my head.

I'm surprised Bella didn't wake up from that.

Her crib is now in our room, we don't want a repeat of what happened.

"Baby, you gotta get used to this. Gangs come and go. Gang scuffles happen all the time."

"Justin, I just don't like it. It puts all of us in danger."

"Baby, I can't help that. Its too late," he explains, rubbing my back up and down.

I huff out a breath.

"Just believe in me. Trust me," he begs.

I nod my head against his chest, agreeing to his request.
