A/N: So this is my first story-like ever. This scene kind of bother me so I just had to rewrite it. Be gentle please!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
I sat there speechless as I listened to Larry tell me he thinks this experience has changed us both and that we should get married now. That we will get through all stupid lonely and embarrassing stuff together as husband and wife. I feel a little lost and confused for a minute but I manage to pull my shit together.
"Larry, you're right we have done, I have done, some stupid embarrassing shit since I've been in here," I say finally. "And I'm sorry for the way it has all affected you, I truly never meant to hurt anyone, I never meant to hurt YOU."
He nods and looks down at the table quickly and then back into my eyes.
"This in between bullshit is crazy, I know, we can't keep doing it, and Larry I love you" I pause and he smiles. "I really do love you, I always have. You're someone I can curl up with, and you always know when to order Chinese," at this he looks confused but I just shake my head and continue, "You are everything I am supposed to want. Everything that I want to want."
At this he face falls, and a frown forms.
"I love you Larry, but I am IN LOVE with Alex. I always have and I always will but it scared me, we scared me. I can't pretend that she isn't what I need and want anymore, you say this place changed me and maybe it has a little but more than anything it's made the real me come back to the surface. The me I lost when I walked away from Alex."
Larry scoffs looks away, and then mutters "You've got to be kidding me."
"I'm not, really I'm not and I am sorry that I am and have hurt you but I've realized that I can't live a fucking lie and tell myself that I am over Alex and that she isn't the love of my life, because she is."
"That's just great Piper, really great. I don't even know what to say to that. What do you expect me to say to that?" At that he stands up and is walking away, or rather storming off. I turn around to call out to him but he is already through the gate.
"Fuck."
I sit back and look around; amazed that nobody noticed Larry leave, nobody realized that I just crushed the heart of someone I really do care about.
