☆~“Its too bad you’re married… to me”~☆

You had been high school sweethearts and together for a while, so once you graduated you decided to get married. You thought that marriage would make your relationship stronger, but in reality it was the opposite. Things got worse. Chino had been working on the second album for his band Deftones and along with that his drinking started to get worse. There was no longer nights filled with sweet words and kisses, instead it was insults and literal injuries. You both had became abusive, you to keep yourself safe, and him because he was drunk and out of his mind.

You had heard the song he was working on called Mascara. You stood in the doorway of your shared bedroom as he played his guitar and sung some lyrics. You couldn’t help but almost feel sick since it was exactly what was going on between you two. Chino had looked up since he noticed your presence finally. “Hey honey..” He says in a quiet voice and motions you to sit with him. This was the first time in a while he had been this gentle.
