This goes out to horns-and-halo, who suggested that I write the same story as he first chapter, only with the sad ending. Please enjoy! XD

Disclaimer: I do not own P&F...


Vanessa's bags were all packed and waiting in the car. All she had to do was wait for Ferb to come back home. She couldn't believe what she saw him do today, it hurt to feel betrayed and used…

I bet you'd never guess who I saw tonight
Guess you didn't see me in those low dim lights
I knew who she was
By the ring still on her hand
Sure looked like you wanted to be her man

She saw him with Maria, the woman he claims that he was over and through with. The woman that broke his heart and left him in the dust. Vanessa picked up the pieces of his heart and helped him get back on his feet again. Ferb had told Vanessa that he was over her and ready to move on. They both knew the feelings they had for each other, but Ferb was the one who was not ready to rush into anything. Vanessa respected his decision and told him that she would wait for when he was ready.

So about a year went by before Vanessa and Ferb started dating. They moved into a two-bedroom apartment in order to hopefully grow closer. Vanessa was thrilled about how well everything between them was going. He never mentioned Maria anymore and he looked happy all the time now.

Today Vanessa and him were supposed to meet for a nice lunch. Vanessa had high hopes about asking him about officially becoming a couple. She did wear his high school ring but they never made it official with words.

That was when she turned the corner into the restaurant and saw him… with her.

So I guess that means that things are better
Must not be so bad at home
I thought it looked like you were leavin'
But it don't
And I heard you tell her you still love her
So it doesn't matter what you say
I saw it all
From a table away

Vanessa sat at a table to watch their moves and see what they were talking about. She half hoped that they were talking about their new lives and how they moved on with someone knew. That hope was crushed when Ferb leaned in closer to Maria and kissed her on the lips…

I thought she was pretty
She's nothing like the things you said
The woman you described
Couldn't even turn your head
The two of you look lost inside a world all your own
Like you couldn't wait to get her alone

Vanessa quickly arose from her seat and ran all the way home. Tears were streaming down her face the whole way. The past moment kept replaying in her mind. Ferb kissed Maria, passionately, on the lips. How could he do such a thing?

Well, she thought, I guess he had every right to. After all, we were never really together…

But she did spend an entire year waiting for him to heal. Was everything she worked for just a complete waste of time?

So I guess that means that things are better
Must not be so bad at home
I thought it looked like you were leavin'
But it don't
And I heard you tell her you still love her
So it doesn't matter what you say
I saw it all
From a table away

So now here she was, alone at the apartment, waiting for Ferb to return home so she could say goodbye and wish him a happy life. About five minutes later, Ferb entered into the house. He looked at her face and could tell something was wrong.

"Vanessa…?"

Vanessa sighed, "I saw you and her…"

"What-"

"I saw you kiss her... I saw you mouth 'I love you'... I saw it all, Ferb."

Ferb shifted uncomfortably, "Oh, Vanessa… it wasn't like that…"

"Oh really? Because it sure did look like that."

"I don't love her anymore-"

"Don't you dare," Vanessa cried out, "don't you try to hide the fact that YOU told her you loved her AND kissed her! I wasted an entire year waiting for you, just to see you kiss another girl! Don't you know how that makes me feel?"

Ferb was silenced by her sudden outburst. She was right, he had kissed Maria but the amazing thing was that, he felt nothing. He did tell her that he loved him, but only because she needed a friend. He wanted to be there for Maria, but he made the fatel mistake of kissing her, not just in front of Vanessa but just in general.

He knew that it was wrong for him to take a chance on Maria and see if he still felt the same about her, like he did a year ago. But he didn't… the kiss they shared was probably nothing compared to what Vanessa's kisses feel like. He wouldn't know because he hasn't kissed her yet, and judging by her hurt face, he probably lost that chance forever.

Vanessa took a deep breath and spoke, "I'm leaving, Ferb…"

He looked up at her shocked, "You're what?"

"I'm leaving… I can't be with you like this."

"Vanessa I… I didn't feel anything when I kissed her. She means nothing to me anymore, it's you that I feel for.

"And you had to kiss someone to figure that out? Besides I saw that you said that you still love her. I don't care what you say, I know what I saw!"

And I heard you tell her you still love her
So it doesn't matter what you say
I saw it all
From a table away

Ferb had tears in his eyes, "I didn't mean it though… I love-"

Vanessa shook her head, "Don't say it, Ferb I don't want to hear it. You hurt me and I don't think hat I can ever trust you again. It's over now…"

Ferb dropped his gaze and didn't respond.

Vanessa sighed and spoke two last words, "Goodbye, Ferb."

Before he could stop her, Vanessa fled out the door and went out to her car. She put the key into the ignition and drove off. She didn't look back once, but she knew that he was probably standing in the middle of the road, silently hoping that she would turn back.

But she didn't…

Yes you're gonna stay
A table away


And that's the sad version. And before anyone yells at me for writing this sad part, just know that I do like writing sad things and will continue to occasionally write them... along with happy ending stories too of course. I guess I've read too many Nicolas Sparks books. You know, the author of The Notebook, The Last Song, A Walk to Remember, Dear John... well, anyway he writes all these great romance books, but there's one thing that always happens... someone dies! *wah!* Okay I'll stop rambling on... please review? :)
