Absolution

“I would like some answers, now. I think I’ve been patient long enough. You know who I am. Now tell me what is going on.”
He hated the tremor in her voice, but he couldn’t do anything about it now. Not until he had answers.
“Look, I’m going to get us a room,” he said wearily. “Stay here. Don’t try to run, because I will find you.” He looked deep into her eyes, and she rewarded him with a look of strength he hadn’t expected to see. He hoped his next words didn’t drain her courage. “You can’t run from me.”
David left the car and went into the hotel. He walked up to the counter, worried she’d bolt. It didn’t take him long to get a key. When he looked towards the vehicle, he relaxed. She sat there, waiting. He hurried to the BMW and opened her door.
“Let’s go. I got us a room on the ground floor, and after I make a call, we’ll sit and talk.”

Bella sat in a chair by the window so she faced David. “Who are you calling? Does this have anything to do with that Chevy in town?”
He continued to the chair by the room phone without answering.
“Why aren’t you using your mobile?”
He gave her a look and dialled. Apparently, he’d meant it when he said he would talk to her after his call. She gave a deep sigh as he ignored her. She drummed her fingers on her chair as her calm slipped away.
Her head started to pound from the echoes of the people in the next room. She wanted to go home. Usually it took longer for the voices to affect her, but with the day she’d had, the wave of thoughts came at her faster than normal. At this rate, she would pass out before David got off the phone.
The pain usually started with a dull throb and escalated, depending on how many people surrounded her. Tonight, she couldn’t even hear David over the roar in her head, and she really wanted to know the details of that phone call. She wanted to understand, but she couldn’t even focus. She would give anything to block the sounds coming from the room next door. The voices echoed in her head, bouncing around like a marble game she couldn’t win.
“That’s my hot momma, come to daddy.”
“Yes, baby, I like it there, baby. More, more. Harder, harder.”
“Wait, no, no, no. Stop”
“I want more.”
“No, stop.”
“Right there. Can’t this lug hurry up, already? Maybe I’ll fake it. I need to get home to my husband. Come on, stud.”
“Man this bitch is hot.”
It flowed through her head with no end, one voice wrapping over the other.
Bella felt a tap her on her shoulder and jumped. She couldn’t focus her gaze, and David looked fuzzy. She tried to reach up to his face. She wanted to wipe the frown away, but she couldn’t even move her hands.
“Anabella, are you okay? I’ve been calling your name for a couple of minutes. What’s going on?” David looked worried.
“I…can’t…I…” Bella passed out.
