All this time I was wasting,
Hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
And it's taking me this long
Baby but I figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again,
But not this time around
It had been a year since Ruben had died, and their relationship had finally gotten back on track, they were better than they were before, stronger. But he fucked it all up again, and he could be damn sure it was over for good this time.
She sighed and turned the stereo up, she was sick of hearing her phone ring. It was driving her crazy that he knew she didn't want to talk to him but he was too damn stubborn to let her go.
You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can say that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no ohhh
She closed her eyes and the scene replayed again in her head.
Opening the door, her jaw immediately dropped and tears stung her eyes as she watched Rikki kiss him, and him kiss her back. Her keys hit the floor and the sound of the metal hitting the hardwood pulled the two of them apart.
"Lindsay." Danny gasped as he stepped back from Rikki and moved closer to her.
"Don't." she said stepping back into the hallway. He looked just as crushed as she felt, but she knew had she not walked in, it would've went further. "Don't."
Looking so innocent,
I might believe you if I didn't know
Could've loved you all my life
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
And you got your share of singers
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen
Cause it's worked each time before
As a fresh set of tears started to fall, she moved from the couch into her bedroom.
Moving to the closest she pulled all of his clothes out and threw them on the floor. Then pulled the duffle bag down from the top and shoved them all into it, then she removed any remainder of him from her bathroom and threw that all in the duffle bag.
She pulled an old box of condoms out of her nightstand and grabbed a post-it note from her desk and wrote 'Don't get her in the same kind of trouble you got me' and placed it on the box before shoving that into the bag.
But you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no, ohhh
You're not sorry no no ohhh
"Here's your shit." She said as he opened the door and she threw it at him, the best she could at least. "and stop calling me."
"Lindsay wait." He begged throwing the bag on the floor and chasing after her down the hallway. He grabbed her arm and turned her around to face him. "Let me explain."
"Explain what?" she barked ripping her arm from his grasp. "That I interrupted your…I don't even know what to call it…interrupted you and Rikki. I'm done Danny, I'm done with you."
"She kissed me. I didn't do anything." He said boxing her in against the wall.
"You kissed her back. I saw it, I was there." She said as she brushed the tears off her face.
You had me falling for you honey
And it never would've gone away, no
You used to shine so bright
But I watched all of it fade
"I'm sorry." He started, but was stopped when she slapped him across the face.
"No you're not." She said stomping her foot. "If you were sorry you wouldn't have done it. AGAIN."
"You shouldn't be getting this upset. It's not good for the baby." He said trying to calm her, but she slapped him again, harder.
"Fuck you." She yelled. "You don't get to tell me what to do." She said calmer this time. "I loved you Danny, after the first time I was stupid enough to believe it was just a one time thing, I should've known better. Once a player always a player."
So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did - before
You're not sorry, no no ohhh
"I never played you." He said, hurt obvious on his face and in his eyes, his cheek red from her slaps. "I love you."
"You don't know what love is." She said gently shaking her head. "I'm done with you Danny. I will let go this time. You won't be able to change anything. I'll never trust you again, ever. I don't even know how I'll be able to share a child with you."
"Lindsay, we can work this out." He begged tugging her back to him by her hand as she tried to walk away.
"We can't, I can't do this every year, every time I see you with a girl." She said pulling her hand back. "I'm over it Danny. Over us."
"What about the baby?" he questioned as he tears fell down his cheeks.
"We'll figure something out." She said and pressed the down button for the elevator as she sniffled. "See you at work."
"I'm sorry." He pleaded as he slid down the wall to the ground.
"No you're not." She softly as the elevator doors closed.
You're not sorry, no no ohhh
