They were never on the same page. Lately all they seemed to do was fight. Most of the time it started of something small and then turned into a screaming match, and before they knew it they were sleeping in separate bedrooms. Jack stayed at work as long as he could, pouring himself into work to avoid the fights. He would come home late and excuse himself to bed, neither of them say more than a few words to each other. How had it ended up like this? They used to be crazy in love and now they just seemed crazy. Their marriage was in shambles, broken. It wasn't supposed to be this way, it was supposed to be perfect, but somewhere along the way they hit a wall.

Kate paced around the living room as she waited for Jack to get home. She had been trying to prepare herself for this moment for a month now. She knew that this would be hard, but it was for the best. It wasn't fair for both of them to be stuck in an unhappy marriage. They both deserved to find people who would make them happy. Deep down she would always have a love for Jack, but sometimes love just wasn't enough. Soon enough this would all be over and they would both be free to live their lives. She hoped that he wouldn't fight it, she hoped he would let it go and move on. They had been stuck in this for a year now. Nothing seemed to work, marriage counseling, romantic getaways, nothing. Their marriage was broken, there was nothing left to salvage.

Around midnight Jack finally pulled into the drive. He noticed that the lights were still one, which could only mean one thing…she was waiting to talk to him. He knew that sooner or later he was going to have to face her. He hated fighting with her all the time. Turning off the car, he decided it was now or never, he had to get this over with. He had given careful consideration to what he was going to say to her. There was a new marriage counselor at the hospital that he was going to suggested to her. They had tried counseling a year ago when things started to fall apart, but they had never really given it a fair try. He wasn't willing to throw his marriage down the drain…not yet. They could make this work. It wasn't going to be easy, but he was willing to try for her.

"Hey," She greeted him, as he walked through the front door. "I've been waiting on you." She had been waiting up for hours, hoping that she would find the courage to do what needed to be done.

"Sorry, I had to check on some of my patients and then finish paperwork," He told her, making his way over to the couch.

"Jack, we need to talk," Kate told him as she followed him into the living room. She knelt down on her knees next to him so that she could be face to face with him.

"I know," he sighed. "I think we should try marriage counseling again. There is a new counselor at the hospital and I have heard that she is really good." He said to her as she looked away from him, keeping her eyes focused on the ground.

"I don't think that is going to work," She said, not moving her eyes from the ground. Slowly she found the strength to look at him again, noticing the confusion on his face.

"We will make it work, Kate," He said his voice sounding desperate, like a broken man who was dying on the inside. "I know that we have had our problems, and I know that I haven't been here lately, but I promise that I am going to fix this."

"I'm tired of this, Jack," She said trying to hold back the tears. He was making this harder than it needed to be. He always had a problem with letting go and moving on. "I can't do this anymore. I can't do us anymore. It's not fair to either one of us to be stuck in this marriage. All we ever do is fight, and it's just not worth it anymore."

"Please, Kate," He pleaded with her, "I can fix this, I promise." He couldn't lose her, not after everything they had been through.

"We are broken, broken beyond repair, Jack," She told him, the tears began to fall down her face. "I've met someone else."

"What?" Jack asked her, surely she didn't just say those words. They were meant to be together forever, soul mates, best friends.

"I've been seeing someone for a month now," She informed him as she looked away from him. "He makes me happy, Jack. If you love me, then please just let me go."

"I need you, Kate," He cried, tears were falling fast down his face. "I love you. I will do whatever it takes, but please just don't give up on me."

"I will always love you, but I can't do this anymore. I can't just sit around and wait for you to fix this. I want a family, Jack. I want to have kids. I want a husband who loves me more than his job." She said as she gained the strength back in her voice. "We don't want the same things. Somewhere we just lost it and now there is no way to get it back. Please, Jack, please let me go. It's time to move on. You will find someone who will do the one thing I couldn't…make you happy."

"But you do make me happy!" He shouted at her, he had tried to keep it cool, but his temper was getting the best of him. "I love you! We can fix this, it's not going to be easy, but we can do it!"

"I love someone else, Jack. There is no way to change that." She told him, as she stood up and began to walk towards the door. "I'm leaving. He came over tonight and helped me pack my things. I'm so sorry, Jack."

"It's not over!" Jack shouted as he stood up from the couch and walk towards her. "You can't just leave. Where are you going to stay?"

"With him. I'm moving in with him." She whispered as she hung her head down and let the tears flow freely. "I hope you someone who makes you so happy, Jack. I will always love you. Goodbye." She turned towards the door and turned the knob. She couldn't even bring herself to look back at him. She wanted to stay with him, but she knew in her heart thing would never change. She couldn't hold on to the past, it was time to move on with her life.
