"Paul please, we've been through hell and back to get here. Please don't make us go there again!"

"Im not. You are. You keep bringing up my past and convincing yourself that im off doing god knows what with whoever and im not Steph! Im not. Just trust me will you?"

"I do trust you its just, I never see you anymore, you always go home straight after shows, why? the only time I see you is when we're at work and that's crap if you and I are in this for good."

"Steph, just…I dunno."

"How did we get here? We've been great for the last few months. What happened?"

"I dunno. Life I guess…."

"Life sucks."

"Tell me about it."

"The only reason we argue is because you don't trust me…"

"Paul, I do trust you its just.."

"Steph, if you trusted me you wouldn't need a 'its just..' you would trust me and that's that."

"Maybe we should forget this altogether then! Save everyone the hassle!"

"Maybe we should…"

________________________________

No you shouldn't, you idiot how could you let him leave like that! Urgh.

Your argue with yourself over and over again which gets you nowhere. You have been a couple for almost 5 months now and things were going great have been since the beginning but little things just kept picking at your brain, like; why he goes home after most shows, why, when he's on the phone he hangs up when you walk in, just little things you've noticed.

You know he's not cheating, or you hope to god he's not. He's not that kind of guy. Yeah, he's had a past, everyone has but there's something about him has changed since you began dating. He's more secretive and private, he's always been a pretty private guy but now its different. But you need to know what's going on, your not ready to through this all away for some trust issues. You can work on this, you cant break up, your in too deep.

Tapping your hands impatiently on the steering wheel, as the traffic lights stick to being red, agitates you a little bit more than you already are. The rain batters off the windscreen as if someone if attacking your car with a stick. You fiddle with the radio because your hating the current song choice from that station, and that one, and that one….you give up and shut the radio off just as the lights turn green.

Driving through New Hampshire, you try and get your bearings, its been a while since were in his house and you try to remember which way to go because getting lost, right now, is not your main aim. Your main aim at this point is to apologise and tell the love of your life how much he means to you and that you're a silly cow and you do trust him and want this to work.

You know your on the right road now, driving through the wooded area that leads towards his house, you finally arrive and recognise hummer parked outside, with another car next to it, one you've never seen before.

The air is slowly getting tighter in your throat and you feel the oxygen slipping away, this isn't happening, maybe he just bought a new car, its not another woman, it cant be. You begin to think it is, you have only been together a short time, its possible, everything is beginning to make sense, you feel the tears pricking your eyes like needles and hastily wipe them before they fall. You hate that you jump to conclusions, you have done for years. Part of you wants to blame your father, you saw how upset your mother was when she found out he had strayed and you began to think all men were the same. When our parents relationship goes wrong, every relationship you venture into is doomed from the beginning with you, you always see the negative side when it comes to love and you just need one guy to show you that they aren't all the same.

Its been ten minutes and your still sitting in the front seat of your car, you don't want to face the person inside the house, not if he's doing what you think he is.

'C'mon Steph, stop being to freaking ridiculous' you try to convince yourself there is nothing going on but its not working, the only way to find out is to go in….

The rain has now reduced itself to a little shower and you pull your coat tighter to shield yourself from the wet. You look back at the pure black sky, your emotions are mirroring the weather right now as you slowly raise your hand and knock on the dark, hardwood door. You hear nothing and then footsteps coming towards the door, at the same time you swear to yourself you just heard a crash of thunder in the distance.

You hear the door unlock and watch as it is swung back o its open state. Everything just happened about 20 seconds slower than it should have done. Your eyes widen at the person standing in front of you.

"Stephanie…?"
