When His Eyes Opened

Anger was boiling within Elliot’s eyes. The word ‘skank’ was like a sharp blade that was sent piercing through his heart. To him, Avery had always been the purest, most innocent person in the world, so she couldn’t possibly be the woman in the video.

However, no matter how reluctant he was to admit it, the woman’s face and voice, along with her pregnant belly were all proving Elliot wrong.

“I’ve known you for almost twenty years now, Elliot, do you think I would hurt you?” Ben saw the pain in Elliot’s eyes and felt sorry for him. 

“If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Chelsea. We ran into the scene together that night. Do you know why we held back from telling you about it? It’s because we wanted Avery to give birth to your child and we didn’t want to cause any trouble at this time… But it turns out that Avery is shameless enough to record a tape like this!”

“Don’t you think that the video is blurred out?” Elliot’s senses and urges were playing a tug of war within him and tore him apart as they did.

 “That video has to be fake!”
