It wasn't that Emma didn't love Chris with all her heart, she did, and maybe that was the problem. He was always off betting and gambling on the games, sometimes he won, but when he lost, he lost big. It was a huge stress in Emma's life. Sure he bought her nice things, but often she would have to sneak out an pawn those items just to pay the bills. Emma missed the excitement of going out, being around people, Chris just always seemed more interested in making a quick buck than being with her.  She often had dinner ready since she got home first, it was the same every night, a kiss on the cheek and then off in front of the TV he would go. Often Emma would go to bed alone, while Chris would stay up to finish the game.<br/><br/>------------------------<br/>Poor Lena couldn't breathe as Mathis thrust hard into her small mouth. As he hit the back of her throat, she gagged an coughed. He held her head tight, so there was no chance of Lena getting a break, she would have to finish him off.<br/><br/>Carl was so handsome in her eyes, she could not believe that such a stunner was actually talking to her.  "Hi Carl, so nice to actually talk to you for real." Emma smiled again, she didn't know, but something about Carl just made her, happy. Something she hadn't felt in a long time with Chris.
