Your Husband
Jason~
It's pretty funny how the world works sometimes, just a couple of weeks ago I only put up with Brenda for Sonny and Carly's sake and now I'd be willing to go to war with them to keep her safe.
She didn't say much once we got back into the car, she just let her head fall against the window and starred out at the road ahead. It was hard to remember that we were the same age as I saw her then. She looked years beyond her age, she looked defeated by the world. Normally, she looks younger than her age because she's so scared that she's acting on impulse without thought to the whole picture. She let everyone believe she was dead because she thought it would save them. I saw their faces though, I felt my own pain when I thought she was dead. That's not the face I see anymore, this is she doesn't care, the world's beaten her down so much that it hurts to bad to care.
I wish I could see her as I saw her earlier this evening. Laughing, jumping up and down on the bed, swaying and singing to the music. She doesn't deserve to have this death sentence hanging over her head, she's only 27 and chances are she won't live to see 30.
She suddenly turns her head a little and laughs "I'm not going to fall apart Jason" she frowns a little and smiles again "Well not again that is" she laughs a little more "Kay how about I promise not to for at least another day or so."
I frown "I didn't think you were"
"Uh huh, you've spent more time looking at me than you have the road." she shifts her seat to look at me "There's no way I could ever thank you enough for this Jase." She reaches out her hand and touches the back of my neck and it drops down to my arm before it falls back down to her side.
It's funny how after living with a person you start being able to know what they're thinking. I switched hands I was driving with and clasped her hand within mine. "You're gonna be okay Bren, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you."
She laughed as she turned back to focus her face on the road "You're acting like a Dad Jason."
"Not a Dad Brenda, a husband, your husband." I said as I pulled into the garage.
