A/N: This is just a little Meth (Merle/Beth) one-shot. I got the idea for it while listening to "Trailer for Rent" by Pistol Annie's.

I hope y'all enjoy it and don't forget to review! :)

Playin' the Missus

Beth stood in the kitchen of their small trailer, staring at the beer cans and cigarettes that littered the kitchen counters, the living room floor and the coffee table.

She was sick of his shit and him comin' home high every night.

Seein' him passed out on the couch made her wonder if maybe her daddy and sister were right.

He had finally told her he loved her and promised he would get clean for her and their unborn child.

In return, she gave him everything. Gave up her dreams of college and singin'. Gave him a child and played the missus.

Standing there three years later, she cursed him and then herself for believing him.

He never hurt her physically, just with his lies and empty promises.

She caught a glimpse of one of the many holes in the the walls and decided it was 'bout time somebody got the hell out.

She went to their bedroom, put her jeans on and packed her bags. Then she went to their sons room and packed his bags.

As she was carrying them to her truck, she let a few tears fall.

How could she have fallen for a man like Merle Dixon?

She put her truck in drive and started towards her brother-in-laws house to pick up her son.

She drove to the bank and withdrew the money her daddy had given her for when she finally came to her senses.

She bought a map at a convenience store and after studying it, she sent a text to her sister and called her daddy.

When she pulled away from the store, she pointed her truck towards Tennessee.

Merle woke up to find there were no lights on in the trailer, no food cooked and his wife and son were no where in sight.

He flicked on the lamp beside the couch and went to the fridge to get a beer.

When he opened it, he saw an envelope taped to the beer box.

He grabbed it and a beer and went back to the couch.

He sat the beer down on the coffee table, lit a cigarette and opened the envelope.

Inside was Beth's wedding ring, her set of keys and a folded up letter.

He unfolded it and stared at Beth's handwriting.

Merle,

You've pissed me off for the last time.
