THESE PLOT BUNNIES REALLY NEED TO LEAVE ME ALONE…

DON'T OWN IT. SONG IS CALLED 'CLEAR' BY MILEY CYRUS.

It's 6:00 AM and I'm wide awake cause I can't stop thinking about the stuff you were saying to me and I, I can't let it slide

Mary Margaret lays in her bed, looking out the window and thinking that it's far too early for her to be up if the sun isn't. While she's thrilled she got rightfully acquitted, she's still upset about the fact that David didn't have faith in her. If her friend/roommate who doesn't trust anyone believed she was innocent when all the evidence pointed to her guilt, the man who supposedly loves her should be able to as well. At least, that's what she thinks. Of course, as usual, the universe decides to prove her wrong and make her life miserable.

I had one of those dreams that make it all so clear to me now, I got a whole new perspective, it's so clear to me now, you can't treat me that way

She dreamt about him last night. That's nothing new. Usually, though, it's about them getting married, and having a daughter who, for reasons she cannot fathom, is exactly like Emma, right up to her name. He'd push her buttons all the time and she'd retort, 'well aren't you charming'. Last night's dream wouldn't even be considered one; it was a nightmare. Finally, things became clear. He says he's committed to her, but his actions show otherwise. It pains her to come to this revelation.

Why did I smile when I hurt inside, said I was okay when I knew it's a lie, I wanted to, believe in you, you took your chances at what was me, so I'll just forgive you and set you free, I'm on my way, I'm stepping out of the haze

David's a good intentioned man, but that doesn't mean she wants to stand next to him during a lightning storm. The poor guy seemed to have everything going against him. She was sick of forgiving him for every little mistake, but she is willing to forgive all the pain he had caused her

I wanna put the past behind, try and maybe I can find better days, the first time in a while, think I even feel a smile on my face

This is best for both of them, and she knows it. It's painful, but making the right decision usually leads to the best outcome in the long-run, or so she hopes. She hasn't smiled, not really, since his betrayal.

Sun's going down on a Saturday, and I feel alright, I feel okay

She ended things with him, and now she had the weekend to recuperate. She's tired, not more than she has been all week, but for the first time, she feels as though she can finally sleep because the fog has been wiped from the glass through which she had been looking.

THIS WAS MY FIRST MM/DAVID FIC, SO ANY AND ALL FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS FOR READING!
