starter call
for: @cocainumking + jimmy
verse: main verse
He had a house key; it felt so domestic. So he didn’t come back to her everyday, dinner was never on the table (unless you counted take out boxes she hasn’t cleared away yet) and two out of ten times he did show it, it was past 1am and he had blood on him but it still felt nice.
Not today though. The key in the lock makes her feel sick, standing in her hall, shaking like a leaf. She never really got that phrase until now; she’s ready to drop. Surely he can tell from her face, surely he knows. Men, they’re so god damn oblivious. Celia can only mouth at him, get out. Get out, go. Her eyes shine with tears and there is a small blue bruise forming on her high cheekbones, only just noticeable in the dim light. Her long front hall, with large arches on either side leading to rooms, stretches out behind her too. It’s a terrible place to get caught.
As Jimmy steps towards her, she raises a hand, shakes her head, but it’s too late. A man, twice the size of Celia steps out of the shadows behind her. She flinches as the gun is pressed against the back of her head. She knows he isn’t the only one in the house; how can she get that to Jimmy? Don’t lose it, he has back up. “I’m sorry,” Cee’s voice breaks and the movement is enough to let tears fall. “I am so sorry.”
