4. Chapter 4

Hello, Thank you to everyone who has read this story. I'm not sure how long it will go on. But to anyone who may not enjoy the whole POV thing. Eventually I will go back to general POV. But I feel like to capture the true emotion. Of this story, it is easier to due through POV's. But here is chapter 4, I hope you all enjoy, Blessings, Butterfly582

Jack's POV,

I finally walked in the door. After three hours of being stuck at the Mayor's office. The house was quite, and I didn't smell anything coming from the kitchen. I walked in and found an almost cold. Tray of some kind of yellow food with black spider legs sticking out of it. Sitting on the stove. I wondered where Sally was. I walked around the house and checked everywhere. I finally found her asleep in our bed room.

I walked over and stroked Sally's hair. Before planting a kiss on her cheek. Sally stirred in her sleep. Before rolling on her back. And looking up at me. I smiled, "Hey sweetheart, how are you? Are you feeling okay?" I asked.

"Um, yeah, I'm fine, why?" Sally asked, as she sat up on the bed. "Well, I thought you might be sick." I replied.

Sally shook her head. "I'm fine" I looked down and saw a bandage on Sally's arm. I gently took the injured area in my hands. Sally winced in pain.

"Honey, what did you do here? Does it hurt?" I asked. "No, not too bad. And it was just an accident. I slipped with sewing scissors in my hands. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Sally replied.

Sally's voice was so cold and so plain. It felt like I was talking to a robot. I kissed the bandage area. Before standing up and helping Sally up. "Are you hungry?" I asked.

Sally shook her head no. "You go ahead and eat." She kisses me on the cheek. But there is no love in that kiss. It feels cold and forced. After that she walks to the bathroom. And slams the bathroom door shut. Making me jump at the noise.

Sally's POV,

I slam the bathroom door shut. I probably just scared Jack. But he's the master of fright. He'll be okay, I look down at my bandage covered arm. Jack's words still running through my head. "Are you okay? Are you sick?" Oh sure Jack, all hunky dory. What do you care? You'd probably be too busy to listen. Even if I told you the truth.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't know what was happening. I felt so confused, I felt so lost, I had so much pain and anger built up inside. I felt like a volcano, which was ready to erupt. I splashed some water on my face. Before leaving the bathroom. I walked into the kitchen. To fine Jack picking at his cold meal I had made. I went and sat across from him. But I didn't say much.

"Sally, aren't you going to eat?" Jack asked. I shook my head no. "I'm not hungry" "Are you sure you're not sick?" Jack asked.

"I told you I'm fine!" I snapped. Jack didn't say anything. I sighed, "I'm sorry, but really Jack I feel fine. I'm just not hungry that's all." I replied, with a fake smile plastered on my face.

Jack didn't looked convinced. But he didn't ask me anything else. After dinner I didn't really talk to Jack. We sat in the living room. In an awkward silence for about thirty minutes. Until Jack suggested we go to bed.

We went into our bedroom. I laid with my back to Jack. He finally put his arm around me and planted a kiss on my cheek. "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked.

I gritted my teeth. Normally I loved it when Jack looked out for me. But tonight it just annoyed me and made angrier.

"I told you, I'm fine! Now please, stop asking me that!" I snapped. "I'm sorry I was just checking. Well sleep tight I will see you in the morning." Jack gave me one more kiss. Before laying down and falling asleep.

I laid there and let more tears fall. "Am I okay? No I'm not okay, you moron. You don't love me! If you did, then you would know without even asking that something is wrong."

I close my eyes and just try to sleep. I want my husband back. I want the happiness in our marriage back. I want this pain and anger to go away. I lay there and quietly cry myself into a restless sleep.

Sorry, I know this chapter was a littler shorter than the others. But chapter 5 will be up soon. Thanks to everyone who is reading and following this story. Blessings, Butterfly582 :)
