Chapter 105

Dot held her quietly and listened while Kim was telling her about the last days events. She really had to control herself to stay calm and not walk back to Jon’s room and beat some sense into him.

His accuse was ridiculous. Kim would never be able to cheat on him and especially not in that condition she was in right now.

“Why? Why is he saying things like this, Dot? You know him so much long. Why is he doing it?” Kim asked her sobbing. Dot sighed and shook her head lightly.

“I don’t know Kim. Maybe he is …insecure.”

“Insecure? Jon?” Kim looked her surprised. Dot snorted lightly.

“Yeah, believe me even Mr. Rockstar has those moments. Maybe those pics triggered something.”

Kim looked at her doubtful.

“That’s no excuse though for his behaviour though.” Dot clarified. Kim only nodded.

“I don’t know what to do. I’m not sure I can stay.” Kim whispered after a couple minutes.

“I can understand that Kim and I will come up with an explanation for the kids if you want…” She had to. Especially Steph and Jesse would freak out when they figured out how their father behaved.

“…but I think you can only solve this whole problem and save your relationship when you stay.” She pointed out carefully. Kim sighed.

“Well, assumed you still want a relationship with him after this.” Kim looked at her sadly and Dot knew she hit a nerve.

“I don’t know. Obviously he doesn’t trust me. How should this work? Besides he really hurt me.” Dot nodded understanding.

“I think I lay down a bit and then see what happens.” Kim slowly got to her feet.

“Thanks, Dot. I really appreciate it. Even though it may be a little weird considering that you were his wife for so long.” She gave her a long hug.

“Nonsense.” Dot paused shortly.

“I’m here if you wanna talk… and Fran, Lexi and Ali should be back by tonight too.” The other women took the kids for a sightseeing tour of London. Dot was really grateful for that. Jon and Kim’s fight was so loud it could be heard in all their rooms.

Dot watched Kim slowly walking towards the elevator and as soon as the doors closed, she turned to walk towards Jon’s room.

She only had to knock once before the door was ripped open by a rather mad Richie. Without saying a word she crossed the room with long resolute strides. She knew drastic measures were necessary to get through to Jon and erase his opinion about this wild scenario.

Jon only had seconds to realize that his ex-wife was in the room before he was pushed backwards and pinned against the wall.

“Dot…what the?”

“Shut up! For once in your life, Jon…. shut up and use your brain!” she hissed at him.

He gulped. He’d only seen her this angry in his life once before. The day he doubted her intentions towards him.

“You find a nice, intelligent and smart girl, who is willing to accept all your stubbornness, your monster ego, your life itself, in which your business and music always come first, who adores our children and would do anything for them and you have the nerve to accuse her on cheating on you?”

“ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?”

“Dot, I…” she held up her hand.

“I’m not finished Jon.” He shut his mouth.

“This woman was nearly raped twice, Jon. She is doubting she can let the man she loves, which for whatever reason is still you, ever trust enough again to be intimate with her and you tell her it’s all just a fucking GAME she’d come up with?”

Jon tried to say something, but the warning Dot’s eyes sent him, made him stop.

“Do you know how it is if a total stranger presses himself to your body?”

“Do you know the panic that rises in you when you realize he won’t take his hands off you even though you told him to stop?”

Jon swallowed hard and shook his head lightly from side to side.

“Do you have any idea at all what kinda fear she felt? For what kinda pain she was preparing for?...No, you don’t.”

“But I tell you this…if it wouldn’t happen to you…to any of you…”

She glanced shortly at the other band members in the room, they were watching the scene in awe and took a step back when Dot turned her head and brought them into her focus.

“…you wouldn’t have the strength to continue with your life. You would not be able to leave the house and you know why…?”

The men shook their heads collectively.

“…because you are weak!”

He was still leaning against the wall, her words echoing in his ears when the door had long closed behind her.
