p class="MsoNormal"MONOLOGUE SIXTEEN- LINNIE/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"LINNIE/p
p class="MsoNormal"Ow..oh...why did I have to open my mouth? I-I didn't seem them actually do anything. I can't believe I just accused my own wife for cheating! What's wrong with me? Oh..she doesn't deserve someone like me..she deserves someone much better than I./p
p class="MsoNormal"I don't understand why he was there though. There's no way they could be related, and I don't understand why Nora didn't bring him into the guest room. I wish I could just ask her why but I'm too…tired…/p
p class="MsoNormal"I can barely move in this hospital bed without any of my bones aching or my cuts getting out of hand. Nora really got my ribs good and I think there's still some glass shoved inside my skin when Nora threw me on the coffee table and yelled at me to go to hell. It just seems lately, everyone wants me to burn in hell. I don't know why. What did I do to deserve hell? All I'm trying to do is raise a family. Do I not deserve one? Am I a terrible person? I must be. I have to be. Why else would Nora hate me?/p
p class="MsoNormal"I-I thought I was doing good. I give more often than not, and I tried to be kind and polite to the people around me, but lately, all I've been getting a return are spits in the faces, jeers and jokes towards me, and people wishing my wife and I were gone. That we're terrible people and deserve to be locked up in prison for life. I-I don't wanna go to prison! Please! I didn't do anything to deserve it! I just want some love..is that so much to ask? Why does no one love me? I miss my mom and dad..they were the only people, besides my sister, that loved me. They made me feel good about myself, but now, I can't stand to even look in the mirror./p
p class="MsoNormal"Honestly, I don't know what hurts more, my injuries or the way no one seems to respect me, or even love me. They keep asking things from me, Darren had stolen from me multiple times, Nora always demands that I do chores for her, Chelsea barely keeps contact with my anymore, and Cosmo's more concerned with his own family, which I don't blame him for, but it still hurts. I have no one to support me and I'm starting to fall on my wit's end. I don't know what I did for everyone to hate me, but whatever I did, can't I just be forgiven? Please? I don't know how much longer I can take all of this./p
p class="MsoNormal"I..I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here anymore. When Nora goes to work, I'm leaving and taking my stuff. I'll see if Cosmo will let me stay at his place or if he wants me gone and tortured in hell as well, which ironically, would be a better place? Anywhere is better than Nora's. I don't want to keep doing this anymore./p
