The crow & the butterfly - SHINEDOWN
Pax rubbed his face waking up from the night, he looked over at the kitchen seeing Gale cooking eggs. He walked over and looked at them,
She didn't bother looking back because she knew who it was behind her, "Scrambled or fried?"
Pax looked down, "Whats better?" he wrapped his arm around her waist,
Gale looked at him, "Move em or loose em." She pointed the spatula at him,
Pax smirked and grabbed her ass,
She jumped, "I didn't mean that way!" She looked at him blushing heavily,
Pax laughed dropping his hand, "I know, I cannot help it," he smiled,
She rolled her eyes then handed him a plate of eggs,
Pax took them and walked to the couch starting to eat,
She walked over carrying a protein shake drinking it down,
Pax looked at her, "You drink those nasty things?"
She looked over at him, "To survive? Yes." She sighed, "I have to eat alot of these.. .Nasty things." She smiled at him,
Pax chuckled, "Hmm..." he looked her up and down,
She raised a brow at him,
Pax chuckled and shook his head, "So Red, you gonna turn on the tv?"
"First, my name is Gale. Not Red. And two I don't watch much tv. I'd rather read." she pushed the remote into his chest,
Pax grunted then chuckled, "Alright," he turned on the old tv, "DVDs?" he looked at her,
She sighed, "Only a few." she stood picking up a milk crate that was half full of videos,
Pax smiled and started digging through, "Oh whats this." He pushed a DVD into the tv and it started playing,
She looked at him and raised a brow, "What did you put in?"
Pax chuckled, "Well it said Burlesque, So."
Gale just rolled her eyes at him again then leaned back,
Pax chuckled and smiled watching, "You know you could be her," He pointed to Ali,
Gale looked down, "I highly doubt it..." she looked down,
Pax sighed and pulled her close,
Gales head landed on his chest, she was about to struggled but she relaxed and watched the tv,
Hours later: Call Me - Shinedown
Pax looked down seeing her asleep, he smiled and pulled her closer to him as he laid back kicking his boots off closing his eyes,
Gale moved slightly leaning into him more holding onto his shirt,
Pax rubbed her back then frowned feeling bumps and gashes, "What the.." He lifted the collar of her shirt and looked down in it then narrowed his eyes seeing deep depressions in her skin, some where healed from long ago, some were new and just beginning to scab over,
Paxs face wrinkled with worry, he took off his jacket and looked at the scars on his arms. He looked at hers and his own, "Same pattern, no. She couldn't be doing this," he punched the couch, "Gale! Wake up." He pushed her slightly,
She whined then looked up at him, "What, What happened.." She rubbed her face,
"Where did you get those scars." He pointed to her back ripping off her shirt, "Where did you get those!" he screamed looking at her,
"I...M..my job."
Pax shook his head, "No...No..." Pax cuffed his face,
Gale frowned reaching on her back feeling the scars, "I let him... He pays... A lot.." She looked away tears starting to run down her face,
Pax looked at her, 'I know." He took off his shirt and showed the scars along his skin, "Don't go to him ever again."
She looked up at him, "Hes done more then that." More tears flushed and ran down her face,
Pax frowned looking at her, "What did he do."
