Mistake

What Is This?

A/N: Definitely a lot longer than the previous ones and this one is really just all dialogue. Hope you like it~

I've wanted to write a story centered around this but god knows I can't get anything done OTL

 

"You love her."

 

"I loved her."

 

"You still do.

 

"I-"

 

"You do. I hear you whisper her name when you sleep, mumble I love you's when you're drunk. We're just a passing thing. You still love her so don't throw what you have together away for some passing fling."

 

"Shut up. We are not just some passing fling and you know it."

 

"I don't know what to think anymore. What if I was just that temporary piece of excitement that drew you in because the spark in your marriage died down. What if this is some sort of joke the gods like to play."

 

"Just listen to your self. My marriage is and has been in shambles for the past two years but we're still growing and thriving."

 

"No, whose to say that it wasn't just boredom that brought us closer."

 

"Things aren't the same between me and her. And things most certainly changed between you and him."

 

"He and I were broken from the start. But you on the other hand have something still. It's just been muted after time passed."

 

"Please."

 

"Please what?"

 

"Stay."

 

"You know I can't."

 

"Just the night."

 

"I won't be able to leave once morning comes."

 

"Then don't."

 

"She comes home tomorrow afternoon."

 

"..."

 

"..."

 

"I love you."

 

"You don't mean it."

 

"I do."

 

"..."

 

"If you and him have been broken from the start why don't you break away then."

 

"He already has."

 

"What do you mean?"

 

"I found his ring, tucked away in one of the drawers."

 

"When was the last time you saw him?"

 

"Maybe seven or eight months ago."

 

"He's moved on."

 

"So have I."

 

"When did you find the ring?"

 

"About a month ago."

 

"When we had our first fight?"

 

"The very same day."

 

"Why didn't you tell me?"

 

"Why didn't you tell me about those divorce papers?"

 

"You saw them?"

 

"It was hard not to when you left them on the table in plain sight."

 

"She's signed them already."

 

"..."

 

"They were sent in too."

 

"..."

 

"Why don't you say anything?"

 

"You're making a mistake."

 

"No, I'm not. I love you. I see something in you, something beautiful, that I've never seen in any other woman. I don’t want to lose you.”

 

“Please stop.”

 

“And I know you feel the same way.”

 

“Stop.”

 

“Stop what exactly?”

 

“Stop trying to make me stay. I’m not worth fighting for.”

 

“Stop selling yourself short. You’re more than worth it. Whatever bloomed between us is different from any other relationship I’ve been in. Whenever I’m with you everything just feels right. Whenever you’re away it feels like you took my heart with you. I feel hollow inside whenever I have to pretend to be happy and in love with that woman, but when I’m with you I feel all warm inside."

 

"..."

 

“Say something, please.”

 

“I-“

 

“You.”

 

“I want to forget.”

 

“Forget what exactly.”

 

“You. But I know I won’t be able to, even if I tried.”

 

“She’s not coming back.”

 

“But… I thought-“

 

“Her friends are coming to get her stuff.”

 

“Is she really gone?”

 

“She’s gone.”

 

“I still think you’re making a mistake.”

 

“Think what you want, but you’re still staying.”

 

“Do your parents know?”

 

“Do your parents know?”

 

“I asked you first.”

 

“Yes. I told them last week. They’re coming over in a few days.”

 

“Mine still don’t know. They still think we’re happy together.”

 

“You never were.”

 

“They never knew.”

 

“Who’s the idiot here?”

 

“…We both are.”

 

“Do you want me to go with you?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“When you go tell your parents?”

 

“Who said I was going to tell them?”

 

“Then how long were you planning to drag this out?”

 

“I don’t know. Maybe until I have to visit them for my brother’s birthday.”

 

“Do you want me to go with you?”

 

“I don’t know.”

 

“I want you to be here when my parents come.”

 

“You’re terrible, you know that.”

 

“Only because I love you.”
 

"Shut up."

 

"Only if you kiss me."
