She woke up to a pounding headache. She couldn't remember what happen the night before. All she knew was that it wasn't good. She sat up in bed and looked over to see her husband sleeping beside her she sighed and got out of bed. As she made her way to the bathroom she stopped suddenly in front of the mirror and caught a glimpse of herself. As she stared at the woman in the mirror she gasped as she started to remember what happen the night before.

She had been waiting for him to come home she had planned a romantic evening just the two of them and as always he didn't come home. She wasn't really surprised by that fact. It was around 1am when she heard him fumbling with his keys outside the door. She walked over to the door and opened it just as he was putting his key into the lock.

He stood there before her with a shocked look on his face as he took in the sight of his wife standing before him wearing a silk purple nightie. He looked her up and down as he pushed past her into the house. "What the hell are you wearing that for, Sharon?" he said as he walked past her to the kitchen.

"Well, Jack, I was planning on having a romantic night with my husband, "but he decided that getting drunk was more important than spending time with his wife." As she spoke, he turned and looked at her.

"Well, if my wife wasn't such a cold hearted bitch then maybe I would have come straight home." She stared at the man in front of her. She didn't know this man. He had changed so much since they got married.

The sound of the refrigerator opening brought her out of her thoughts as he opened to get another beer.; "Don't you think you've had enough of those for one night? she asked as he walked around her into the living room.

He stopped mid - step and turned. She never saw his hand coming toward her face as he slapped her across the face knocking her to the floor. As she lay there looking up at him, he bent down so he's face to face with her. "Don't you ever tell me what to do again! You got that Sharon?" he snarled at her as she lay their crying in the floor. He turned and walked to the couch leaving her laying on the floor.

As he was making his way back into the kitchen, she got to her feet. She had already had enough of his crap this was the final straw she thought to herself.

As she pushed him up against the wall. she had him by the shirt as she gritted her teeth at him, "Don't you ever hit me like that again, Jack." or the next time you will regret it. He looked at her he could see that she was pissed. He didn't care he would do whatever he wanted to.

She let him go and started to walk away from him when he grabbed her again and spun her around. As he wrapped his hand around her throat he began kissing her as she fought him to get away.

He only tighten his grip on her as he drug her to the bedroom throwing her on the bed and doing whatever he wanted to her as she lay there screaming and crying. Finally she just lay there and let him do what he wanted praying that it would be over quickly. "You know you like it rough Sharon." he continued repeating as he moved inside her each time harder than the time before.

After he was done he rolled off of her and lay down on the bed next to her as she rolled onto her side and began to cry herself to sleep again. Tomorrow will be different she thought as sleep began to take over..

As she stood there in front of the mirror wiping the tears that had fallen down her face, she could hear him moving in bed behind her. She stood still as possible as he got up from the bed and walked past her to the bathroom stopping to kiss her on the side of her head. He didn't notice the bruises on her face and neck as he went into the bathroom.

She pulled herself together and walked into the bathroom behind him and began getting ready to take a shower . As he stood in front of the mirror he caught a glimpse of her face and neck and a cold chill ran down his spine. He didn't remember putting his hands on her the night before but obviously he did. How could he have been so stupid? He thought to himself as he watched her.

He stood there watching her as she walked toward the shower. "Can I join you, Sharon ?" He began to move toward her, "No, jack," she said coldly as she stepped into the shower. leaving him standing there watching her As she showered she cringed and cried over the events that had taken place the pervious night.

He made his way into the kitchen and began getting his things ready for the day while standing at the counter. When he heard the all too familiar sound of heels on the hardwood floor coming up the hall as she rounded the corner, he walked toward her as she stepped away from him.

"Sharon, honey, I am so so sorry for what I did." I know that doesn't change what happened but I am so sorry."

She listened to him intently as he spoke. "Jack I don't have time for this right now." Plus you don't mean it anyway."

He stood there in shock as she made her way to the door, he looked into her sad green eyes. She had been able to cover up the marks he left on her with makeup. He finally spoke, "FINE! I take all back." If you want to act like a cold hearted bitch then I will treat you like one," he yelled as she walked out slamming the door behind her.

She managed to get to her office without anyone noticing her. She was thankful for that. She didn't feel the need to explain anything this particular morning. It was fairly quiet day around the L.A.P.D. she was grateful for that.

She had been working on some paperwork and going over some reports. It had been a fairly quiet day and nothing out the ordinary happen. She looked up to see Jack walking toward her office. She walked out and met him halfway.

"What are you doing here Jack?" She asked coldly as she led him back into her office and slammed the door behind them. He looked at her shocked, "I came here to apologize to you.. I feel so bad about what happen last night.

"You know I would never hurt you on purpose. She looked at him speechless for moment, "You would never hurt me?" Really Jack!

"You have some nerve coming in here and trying to play the sad, pitiful, husband. We both know that you are full of it. "Just save it." He looked at her as he turned to walk out of her office, "I tired. He said as he walked out. And with that he left her alone again.

She managed to spend the rest of the day in peace she finished up the last of her paperwork and gathered her things to head home. She was exhausted and just wanted to soak in a hot bath.

Once she arrived home it was strangely silent again. Which that didn't surprise her anymore. She figured that he went out and was getting drunk again, but this time they would not have a repeat of last night.

After she had went about her nightly routine she was sitting on the couch when she heard someone outside the door. She got up and made her way to the door and opened it to find a very drunk and disheveled jack standing before her. She helped him inside as he struggled to stand on his own. She couldn't hold him up and he slid down the wall.

He sat there looking up at her while she walked away from him. "Your not going to help your husband up out of the floor?" He stared at her waiting for a response but didn't get one. She looked at him as she made her way down the hall, she stopped and looked at him.

She spoke coldly "You got down there you can just get yourself back up." She walks away and goes into the bedroom.

"You can't leave me here like this Sharon." You really are a cold hearted bitch." He knew that would get to her and that she would come and help him like she always did.

She walked into the bedroom and sat down on the edge of her bed and stared at their wedding picture that was sitting on her dresser. How could it have all gone so wrong.

She was lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear someone knocking on the front door. She got up and made her way down the hall jack had gotten up off the floor and made it to the couch where she found him snoring.

She looked through the door and saw Lt. Flynn standing on the other side. She opened the door to find him staring at her.

"Can I help you Lt." She asked as she stood in the door way watching him.

He looked her up and down and he noticed that something wasn't right but he just pushed it to the back of his mind. "I just wanted to bring you this file that you left behind today. "I didn't know if you mite need it or not he stammered as he spoke.

"Thank you Lt." I appreciate it, "Well I just wanted to bring it by since I was on my way home. He looked at her a few more seconds. "Can I ask you something Captain?" She looked up to see him staring at her intently, "What is it Lt?"

"Is everything ok around here?" She looked at him startled for a moment just as she was about to answer him she heard Jack stirring around on the couch as he got up and walked over to where she was standing she could still smell the whiskey on his breath, "What the hell are you doing here Flynn he asked as he stepped in front of his wife.

Flynn looked at him before he spoke, "I was dropping off a folder to the captain that she left at work today."

"That's what I'm doing here Jack." he said coldly. He could feel his blood pressure starting to rise as he looked at the man standing before him.

"I was just leaving actually," He said as he smiled and nodded at Sharon. She smiled back as she stepped back from the door as Jack watched the entire scene before him.

He slammed the door and turned around "Were you flirting with him?"

"well were you?" he yelled as he started to get closer to her.

She stood there and stared at him, "what makes you think I would do something like that jack." She could see him gritting his teeth and shaking his head.

"You are my husband why would I look at another man?"

"I don't know sharon you are a beautiful woman who could have any and every man she wanted." "Except for one little thing your is a cold hearted bitch. She knew what was coming next she braced herself for what was about to happen.

Just as he was about to take all of his frustration out on her when she swung on him and connected with his jaw as he hit the floor. She stood there looking down at him smiling to herself, "I told you that you would regret it."

He stood up and looked at her, "You bitch!" "You are going to pay for that!" He was screaming at her now, Just as he was about to raise his hand and hit her the front door flew open..

Before she could blink Lt. Flynn had Jack in handcuffs on the floor. He looked up at Sharon. "Did he hit you Captain?" She stood there in shock as he picked jack up off the floor.

"No Lt." He never hit me, Not yet anyway.. She couldn't believe that she was admitting this to someone else.

"How did you know what was going on?" She asked slightly puzzled.

"Well I knew something wasn't right when I was here before, you looked so scared and helpless." 'I know your not it threw up red flags at me but I let it go and I gotten on the elevator and had gotten downstairs when one someone called the cops because they heard yelling and screaming coming from your apartment."

"When patrol arrived I told them I would check it out. "I knocked twice but with all the screaming and yelling that he was doing no one heard me."

"So I tired the door knob and it was unlocked so I opened about the time he was making his way to you."

"Do you want to press charges on him or you want to let him go?"

"I want to press charges on her though, Jack spoke up.

"Shut up Jack!" Flynn yelled at him as he tighten the grip on the handcuffs.

She looked at the scene before trying to decide what she wanted to do, after a few minutes she looked at the Lt.

"Yes I want to press charges Lt." Jack looked at her with a shocked expression. "Come on sharon you wouldn't do this to me." "Would you?"

He asked trying to stand as the Lt. tightened his grip on him.

"Captain are you sure about that?" Lt. Flynn asked, "Yes I am" She knew that once he got out he would make her life a living hell but she would handle that later. "Yes ma'am, "If you say so"

"Ok Captain," "I'll get him out of here as he walked jack to the door, "Sharon you bitch!" "You are going to be sorry." Flynn had heard about all he wanted out of the jackass, "Jack how about you just shut the hell up huh!"

"Captain if you need anything just call." She smiled at him, as he started to leave, "Thank you Lt. "I will. As Lt. Flynn walked out of the condo with jack in handcuffs she shut the door behind them and laid against as the tears began to fall this isn't going to end well she thought…
