An: Don't own them not making any money off them. All characters belong to J.E and song belongs to The Band Perry. This is a Steph/Joe break up. Cupcakes won't like it. It is a one shot but may eventually turn into a series of song fics starting with this and ending with Steph and Ranger together. Read and Reviews.
Lula and I were after a skip, Robert Johnson, he was pulling out of his driveway just as he pulled up we decided to follow him and take him down wherever he stopped. We followed him to a seedy motel and what I say there shocked me a little but not to much. I had my suspicions. There parked in front of a room was none other than Joe's truck and Terry Gilman's car. Joe had told me he was going fishing with Mooch for the day and would be back this evening. No Mooch here and this doesn't look like a pond or lake for fishing. We got out and walked to our skip he came willingly since he had just forgotten his court date. We got back in the car and my new CD, The Band Perry was playing 'You Lie'.
It ain't complicated
Well, I've grown to hate it
I never liked the taste of crow but baby I ate it
They tried to warn me
They said that you were ornery
So don't bring me those big brown eyes and tell me that you're sorry
Well you might as well throw gasoline on a fire
The way you lie
The entire way to the police station all I could think of was why did he cheat on me, why did he continue to lie to me. Two men in my life have not cheated and lied to me, I will not trust so easily next time. Three years with Joe granted we were on and off again but still how many of those years had he cheated and lied? Lula sat next to me quiet letting my have my mind run rapid. She was a good friend she saw it to and was being quiet letting me process everything.You lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor
You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
It just comes way too natural to you
The way you lie
After dropping our skip off I dropped Lula off at the bond's office and drove straight to Joe's. I packed up all my things and loaded them into my car and sat on the couch waited on him to show up. I flipped through the channels waiting after I found nothing I went back out to my car pulled my CD out and took it inside and put it in his stereo and turned You Lie back on. He walked in as the second verse started. I watched him to see what his reaction was. That ain't my perfume
I bet she had a curfew
You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you
So why you lookin' so nervous
You know you're gonna deserve this
I oughta kill you right now and do the whole wide world a service
Well my daddy's gonna straighten you out like a piece of wire, like a piece of wire
The way you lie
He looked at me and he started looking very guilty. I gave him a weak smile,
"I'm done Joe, You lied to me and there are not telling how many other lies you have told me. I saw your truck and Terry's car parked at the Motel on Route 1. I can smell her perfume on you. I don't want to hear any excuses or other lies. You are a good liar you had me fooled for a long time but no more. I'm done, don't call me, don't come to my apartment and if you see me somewhere just walk away." I said that as the chorus came back on. You lie like the man with the slick black hair who sold me that Ford
You lie like a palm tree in the back yard after last month's storm
You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
It just comes way too natural to you
The way you lie
As soon as the chorus finished I pulled the CD out of stereo and walked back out to my car. I put the CD back in and turned the song back on and listened as I drove out towards the Delaware River. When I got there as I got out I noticed I still had the promise ring he gave me on. I pulled it off and set down and cried holding the ring in my hand. Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna drive into the big ol' muddy river
I'm gonna park my car in the middle of the mile-long bridge
And then I'm gonna cry well maybe just a little
Then I'm gonna slip off the ring that you put on my finger
Give it a big ol' fling and watch it sink
Down, down, down
There it's gonna lie
Until the Lord comes back around
After my crying jig I flung the ring into the river and watched it sink in the river. It's time for me to move on with my life without Joe. I'm glad I never married him and thank God I got hives every time I thought about it. I had the car stereo up as the chorus came on one last time and I sang along.Because you lie like a priceless Persian rug on a rich man's floor
You lie like a coon dog basking in the sunshine on my porch
You lie like a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store
It just comes so dang natural to you
The way you lie
The way you lie
Well it's what you do, it's who you are
Never again will I let a man lie and cheat on me like Dickie and Joe did. From now I'm going to live my life for me and screw what the Burg or my mother think. The two Burg me she wanted me with were both liars and cheaters. The next man I'm with will not be from the Burg nor will he be trusted fully until he can prove that I can trust him. I walked back to my car with my head held high and a new resolve. Everyone in Trenton better watch out, Stephanie has had it and isn't take anyone's shit anymore.
The End at least for now. If you have know a song that could work with as the next part let me know. I may continue it if I come up with more songs. If not this is it. Please Review. Hopefully I will post one of my longer stories soon but I've been listening to a lot of music and these keep coming to me.
