[A/N: I was listening to this song by the Barenaked Ladies (yes I like
them) and I got the idea for this fic. It was so sad to me! Actually, the
first verse only applied, so that's what I put. The rest of the song is
about a woman's "significant other" cheating on her. That didn't really
fit, but if you want the rest of the lyrics, try azlyrics.com. I like
them! ^_^]

Off The Hook
*All around the room Your things are placed And next to you he fills the space And so it seems Your saving grace Is only saving face The pictures of the two of you On holiday On honeymoon*
Gaz sits on the bed, next to a box of photographs. As she thumbs through a pile, her husband of two years shifts his position next to her, to get the glare off his laptop screen.
*You thought that he was wanting you But he was only wanting you To let him off the hook*
She picks up a picture of her entire family at Christmas last year. The smiling faces looked back at her, but there was still hatred between her brother and her husband, his rival. Sometimes, she thought he had only married her to spite her brother.
*He was your imaginary friend He was heartless till the end*
Gaz picks up another. It is from their vacation to Roswell. They had had fun. He had been not only her husband, but her best friend. But time had trialed their marriage.
*And something bends And then it breaks Your worst mistake accepting Enemies On bended knees A litany Of tragedies*
She pushes some of her purple hair away from her face as a tear forms in her eye. She thinks about the recent fighting. They had been so close and now they were so distant. So different yet so the same.
*You're vexed It seems you're hexed*
She puts her hand to her head and closes her eyes tightly. It had been so nice in the beginning. The sad realization that her husband had only been using her had crept up slowly. It tears away at her because she has never been hurt this way before.
*And at the sex He expects You'll let him Off the hook till Something that you heard When you were sleepin' left you Shaken while he stirred When you awaken you will Make him eat his words right off the- Hook and line Every time*
What sex? She recalls their nighttime activities. Sleeping. One night, in particular, stands out. She remembers waking to her husband screaming and cursing her brother's name. She now looks at Zim. He looks at her out of the corner of his red eye and continues working. She puts the pictures back in their box and puts that back into the closet. She puts on a pair of black boots and a black jacket, grabs her car keys, and walks out the front door. He never moves an inch as she drives 20 miles to Dib's house.
[A/N: Ok. So I couldn't figure out how to end this. I think it sucks. Oh well. I'm tired. (Tis only midnight!) Goodnight fans!]
