As Rio was walking away, Beth gained a certain confidence, remembering the words he told her not so long ago, she yelled, "We're here to win, Bitch!" Immediately regretting it, she turned on her heels and walked out followed by Annie, her sister, and Ruby, her best friend.
When she got home with groceries, her husband, Dean, was there with an empty bottle of scotch in front of him.
"Where have you been?" Dean asked.
"Just getting some groceries for dinner. I thought you would still be out screwing your secretary and losing all of our money," Beth retorted.
Immediately, she knew she made a mistake. Dean rose from his chair and in two long strides, he was towering over her.
"What the fuck did you just say to me?"
"You heard me! What you thought I didn't know?"
Just as she finished her question, Dean's hand came down across her face, busting her lip.
"You ungrateful bitch! You wouldn't have any of this if it wasn't for me!"
Again, his hand came down across her face while he wrapped his other hand around her hands pinning her against the wall.
"It's none of your business what I do! Your job is to take care of my kids, my house, and fuck me when I want! That's it!," he yelled at her, hitting her in the stomach.
He hit her so hard she was sure she would vomit. Before she could, his hand came across her face again.
"You just love to piss me off, huh? You're enjoying this aren't you, you disgusting bitch!" Dean yells, spitting in her face.
Too proud to beg and too weak to fight, Beth stands there and takes it, fighting back the tears determined not to let him see her cry.
Again, Dean's hand comes across her face and Beth can see the sick look in his eyes of enjoyment and lust. After hitting her again, he turns her around, pushes her over to the table and pins her arms behind her back. Then Beth hears his zipper and feels his hand yanking on her panties. Then Dean pushes himself roughly into her. After what feels like forever but is only 5 minutes, he cums inside of her.
Beth stands up and a single tear escapes.
"Tell the kids mommy has a headache. I'm going to shower and go to bed."
Before waiting on a response, she walks up the stairs and straight to the shower. She turns the shower as hot as it will go. She takes off her dress and underwear and black pumps and puts them in a pile.
'I'll never wear that again' she thinks to herself.
She steps into the shower, sits down, and lets the water run over her. As the water rushes over her, she sees blood and cum mixed into the water. Now, she finally starts to cry. After scrubbing herself for 30 minutes, she finally gets out of the shower and works her way to the mirror. She surveys the damage done. Busted lip, cuts on the cheekbone and above her eye, a black eye that is already swollen, a huge bruise on her stomach where he had punched her, and bruises around her wrists and arms where he put his hands. Sighing, she steps out of the bathroom and walks straight to the guestroom crawling under the covers.
Beth finally opens her eyes and looks at the clock. 09:42. She drags herself out of bed and down the stairs to the kitchen, making herself some coffee.
"Beth! Beth, where are you?" Annie yells as she walks through the house.
"In here. Want some coffee?" Beth asks.
"Yeah, su.. What the fuck happened to you?!" Annie practically yelled.
"Oh, I just fell down the stairs. Here's some coffee." Beth said pushing a mug toward Annie.
"Bullshit! Was it him? Did he hit you again? I'll kill him! I swear to God I'll fucking kill.." Annie started rambling.
"Annie! Stop! I'm fine! Let it go!" Beth yelled.
"No, this is not okay!" Annie screamed.
"I'm divorcing him." Beth whispered.
"It's about fucking time." Annie said.
After a few minutes of silence with the two girls drinking coffee.
"So, this is why you aren't going with us to meet Rio, huh?" Annie asked.
"Yeah. And I'm taking the kids to mom's for spring break," Beth said.
"Well, okay. I've got to go. We don't need to keep gang friend waiting!" Annie says as she's walking out.
Ruby and Annie are waiting at the designated meeting place for Rio.
"Now, why didn't Beth come?" Asks Ruby.
"Oh, she 'fell down the stairs'. Or so she says. Fucking Dean. The piece of shit did it again." Annie explains, using air quotes when saying that Beth fell down the stairs.
"That's bullshit! I hope she's fucking divorcing him this time!" Ruby replies.
"She says she is. I just hope she does before he kills her! I swear! I'm so tired of the piece of shit!" Annie complains.
"Not me, I hope," Rio mumbles while walking to the picnic table.
Annie and Ruby almost jump out of their skin.
"Dammit man! Make some noise when you walk!" Annie practically yells at him. "No, not you. Although I am tired of you fucking sneaking up on people!"
Rio smirks and lets out a light chuckle. "Where's your sister?"
"Oh, well she had to go to the doctor and take the kids to mom's for spring break,"Annie replied.
"Cool,cool" he mumbles. "Boys, load 'em up."
Beth gets home after taking the kids to her mom's and goes straight to the liquor cabinet. She pulls out bourbon and starts drinking it from the bottle. After the argument with her mother about leaving Dean, she just wants to forget. Taking the bottle with her, she goes straight to the freezer and gets out two bags of peas and goes upstairs and crawls into bed. Not even ten minutes later, she is asleep. She is woken up by the sound of glass breaking downstairs.
