(One month later)
She looked sadly out the window at the huge backyard. One month. It had been a month and they had no idea where Lucas was. The police had found a few clues but none were any good. It all kept going back to that one question. "How is Glenn and Lucas's relationship?" She hated that question. The police had been insisting that this was a runaway...but where could he have gone? He was only 6-years-old!
Maybe...maybe it did have something to do with Glenn. If he had...if Lucas had runaway...it would have been because of Glenn. Lucas had never liked Glenn. It was obvious. Though...would Lucas really leave behind his whole life because of that? He knew Lita loved him, and she loved him more than life in itself. God, she was willing to do anything in the world for her baby.
"Hey."
Lita jumped at the sound of Matt's voice and she slowly turned around. She managed a small smile when she saw Matt standing in the doorway.
"Hey," she said quietly and Matt walked over next to her. They had been through so much in the past month. Lucas was still missing. Everything had gone so wrong, and everybody wanted Lucas back.
"How you doing?" he asked and she shrugged.
"Do you think they're right?" she asked and Matt stared at her. He didn't know what she was talking about.
"Do I think who's right?" he asked, sitting down at the bed and she looked at him, that same hollow look in her eye. That look that had been there since she found out Lucas had gone missing.
"The police. Do...do you think they're right? I mean... God, Matt, what if Lucas did runaway? What if it was because of Glenn?" she asked, her eyes glistening with tears and he closed his eyes.
Lita had mentioned to him, on numerous occasions that she thought Glenn had something to do with Lucas's disappearance. He wasn't really sure what he thought.
"And where would he have run? Lita, if he ran anywhere, he would have run to me. You know that. Either that, or one of our friends," he said, trying to reassure her, realizing that it wasn't working.
They sat in silence for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she heard the door slam.
"Oh, God. Y-You have to go," she said quickly and he eyed her suspiciously.
"What? Oh no. Lita, I don't care. I'm not leaving, not because he's home," said Matt, disgust rising in his voice at the thought of Glenn. God, he couldn't imagine the torture he put Lita through everyday.
"Matt, please. Just...for me," she pleaded softly and he rose from the bed, gently grasping her around the waist.
"Get a divorce," he said quietly and she shook her head.
"No, please. Matt, just go," she said and he sighed.
"I'll go. But Lita, promise me. Promise me you'll ask for a divorce."
Matt walked to the door and Lita quickly stopped him.
"I promise," she said softly and he nodded, praying to God she would do as he asked.
Matt closed his eyes, hoping he was making the right choice by leaving as he walked out the back door.
Lita swallowed hard as she heard footsteps coming into the room. 'Why, God? Why did he always know just where to find her? Had he heard the door shut? Oh please god, don't make him be mad at me.'
She knew what she had to do. She knew she had to ask Glenn for a divorce. It was the only thing that would finally ease her mind. She wouldn't feel so guilty...or she would but maybe...just maybe this was what God had planned to happen. Maybe, maybe Lucas would find his way home if god knew she had divorced Glenn.
"Lita!" came Glenn's angry voice and she swallowed hard before turning around, her frightened eyes meeting his angry ones. "Who was here?" he asked suspiciously and she closed her eyes.
"N-nobody. N-nobody was here," she said softly and he stepped closer to her, his face inches away from hers.
"Was it that Hardy boy? What the hell are you doing around him? Mourning the loss of that pathetic child-"
"Stop it! Leave Lucas out of this, okay! And don't ever, ever-"
Her voice was cut off by a sharp slap across the face. He held her throat tightly and shoved her against the wall.
"Who gave you the right to speak to me like that? Huh?! You little bitch, think you can talk to me like that!" he screamed and she tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but his grip was too strong.
"I own you Lita! I control your life," he stated, his voice lowering in volume.
She closed her eyes. She couldn't live like this. She couldn't live in constant fear. She needed to get away. Matt was right. She needed to get a divorce.
"I-"
"Don't talk," he bellowed out and Lita could smell the distinct smell of liquor on him.
She sighed as she saw his hand loosening his grip on her throat. She looked him in the eye and swallowed hard once more. This was it. This was what she had to do.
"Glenn, I-I-I want a divorce," she blurted out, not daring to look at his eyes, knowing she was in big trouble, but realizing there was a door right behind her.
Before she could even think about what she was doing, she ran out the door.
