Elizabeth held back the tears on the way home. She slammed the door and headed inside. Didn't even bother grabbing boxing tape and gloves before heading out to the garage.

Punch.

Punch.

Punch.

Punch. Punch.

Punch. Punch. Punch. Punch.

She kept punching releasing everything. Sobbing while doing it. Finally she couldn't take it any longer before dropping to the ground and crying. Liz slowly rocked back and forth trying to soothe herself, but no avail.

"Jesus." She breathed, looking down at her bloodied and swollen hands. She pushed herself up turning around to go clean them up. She stopped in her tracks, frozen.

Red was standing there in a hoodie and jeans. "Sweetheart..." He murmured. He took a step towards her seeing what she would do.

She stood there frozen.

He took two more, no reaction. He reached her, his hands close enough to pull her into a hug. It pained him seeing her like this, because of him.

This was all his fault. He blamed himself, what a fool for leaving her.

"I'm so so sorry Lizzie." He gently took one last step towards her pulling her into his arms.
