Prompt: Girl You Left Me For – Deana Carter

Twenty years ago today had been the day that Erin Strauss's world had came crashing down around her. She sat staring at the calendar on her desk and she wanted to just run and hide. She was not sure she could handle having to see David Rossi today. It was because of him that her world had came crashing down all those years ago.

She closed her eyes on a wave of pain she fought to keep the memories at bay. She did not want to remember right now. She knew that when she went home tonight she would remember every words that was said, every word that was left unsaid and every look that was shared good and bad that day.

She opened her eyes back up when there was a knock on her office door. She knew exactly who it was by the way the person knocked. It was the last person she wanted to see that day. Hell if she were honest it was the last person she ever wanted to see. Unfortunately though she ended up seeing him every day and every single time she had to put on an act but thankfully he bought it. She was just thankful he never knew her long held secret and if she had anything to say about it he would never know.

Before she could say anything to the person knocking on her office door it was thrown open and in walked her personal tormentor with a smirk on his face. "So Erin today has been twenty years. Are you as happy about that as I am?"

Erin swallowed the lump that lodged itself in her throat and glared at Dave. "What can I do for you Dave? If you just came by to torment me then you can do that later. I know for a fact that you guys have a case so should you not be in the conference room? Plus if you really are wanting to torment me today Dave then you need to go and get the girl you left me for. Oh wait you cannot get her because she left you not even a week later."

Dave glared at Erin as she rubbed that into his face yet again. He wanted so much to say something but he knew that she was right. His tormenting of her will have to wait until later. He just wanted her to know that he was thinking about what had happened twenty years ago today between the two of them. He frowned when he saw the pain in Erin's eyes but then he thought his eyes were playing a trick on him because when he looked closer her eyes just held all the coldness and hatred that she felt towards him.

"We will finish this later Erin. You have yourself a nice day now." Dave said.

Erin watched Dave turn around and walk towards her office door but before he could exit her office she said in a hard tone "No, Dave we will not finish this later. As far as I am concerned we are finished. You are the one who loves to hurt me. You are the one who does nothing but torment me. Well I have had it up to my head Dave and I will not let you do it anymore. You need to leave me the hell alone or I will make your life hell just like you have made my life a living hell for twenty years now. You have yourself a nice day Dave."

As she was talking to him she walked towards him and then pushed him out of her office. Before he could say anything to her she slammed the door in his face and then locked it. She barely made it back to her chair before her legs gave out and she felt the tears flood her eyes before running down her face. She could no longer stop the memories from flooding her head and soon she was back to the night that her world went up in flames literally and figuratively.

She was waiting on Dave to get to her house because she had some news that she had to share with him. Today was their one year anniversary and she still could not believe it. She could not believe that they had been together for a year and have been working together for five years now. She was happy about the news that she had to share with Dave and she could only hope and pray that he would be happy too.

When she heard his car pull up she rushed to the front door and opened it because she could not wait for him to knock. She got the shock of her life when she saw him kiss a woman in the passenger seat of his car before actually walking up to her front door. She could not believe that he had brought another woman to her house especially tonight of all nights. She could not believe that he was cheating on her.

"What is going on Dave?" Erin asked.

Dave looked at Erin and saw that she was still as beautiful as ever but instead of telling her he said "Erin, I need to tell you that I have been seeing and sleeping with Marie for the last three months. When you started to withdraw from me I turned to someone else."

Erin's mouth dropped open as she looked at Dave in shock. "You have got to be kidding me! What the fuck Dave? I thought you loved me! Or is that something you say to all the women you get into bed with you. I cannot believe you! How could you do this to me? How could you do this to us? How could you do this tonight of all nights? Do you even know what tonight is Dave? DO YOU?"

Dave raised an eyebrow at Erin and said "What is today Erin? Why is today so important?"

Erin raised her hand and slapped Dave across his face hard. "Today is our one year anniversary. I guess I should have known that everything out of your fucking mouth was a lie. GET THE FUCK OUT DAVE! I HATE YOU!"

Dave's mouth dropped open a little in shock but then he snapped it closed and he glared at Erin and snarled "You mean to tell me that I decided to come clean to you on our year anniversary? I am so proud of myself. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the night then Erin. You are nothing but a cold fish in the bedroom and I found someone who knows how to satisfy me in the bed. Ask yourself this question Erin. WHY WOULD I WANT A COLD BITCH LIKE YOU WHEN I CAN HAVE ANY HOT AND VIBRANT WOMAN THAT I WANT?"

Erin's breath caught in her chest at Dave's words and she felt like a thousand knives were stabbing her but she managed to keep the calm appearance on her outside as she said "Just leave Dave. Get out and stay the hell away from me!"

She watched Dave walk out of her front door and out of her life and as soon as the front door shut she broke. She started crying and could not quit. She lost all track of time until she cried herself to sleep. Unfortunately when she cried herself to sleep she was woken up by the fire alarms screaming and a fire not only in the kitchen but in the living room where she was at. She lost consciousness again before she could even get outside her house.

The next time she woke up she was in a hospital room and she had been told that she lost her baby. She knew that nobody even knew she was in the hospital and she made the Doctor swear not to tell anyone. Not only had she lost the man she loved, she lost their baby and her home all in one night.

She came out of her thoughts when her cell phone chirped. She looked down and sighed as she saw who it was from. She deleted the text message without even reading it. She could not and would not let him make her hurt any worse today than she already was.

A/N 2: So this was a hard chapter to write since I didn't use contractions in the chapter… I can honestly say I have no clue how cuteass does it… lmao… I had a hard time doing it and had to keep hitting the backspace to go back and retype some things… So click the pretty button and let me know what you think of this first chapter…
