Author's Note: So I decided to add a chapter to this story. I was listening to the song 'The Truth' by Good Charlotte and it inspired me. I hope you enjoy. There is a chaptered fic sequel to this story in the works for some time in the future.

Tommy looked away from Hayley, he couldn't meet her eyes. She'd finally confronted him and now it was time for the truth to come out.

"Tommy, I want the truth from you," Hayley said getting up and walking to the window, staring out of it, fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall. She's confronted him and his look said it all, her Tommy was wasn't hers anymore. Was he ever really hers to begin with?

"Hayley…" Tommy walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't," she shrugged it off. "Just give me the truth," she said stepping away from him.

"There is someone else," he said staring out the window she'd just moved from. "There has been, for about a year now," he said quietly.

Hayley blinked at him. She felt like she'd just been slapped across the face, a year. For a whole year they'd been living a lie. She felt her walls crumble and the tears began to fall. "Who is she?"

"I met her through school, she's taking care of her nephew, who is one of my students," Tommy said turning back and he saw the tears. "Hayley, I'm so sor…"

"Don't you fucking dare say you're sorry Thomas James Oliver," Hayley spat out hotly. "How dare you say something like that to me, you're sorry. Obviously you aren't if it's been going on for a year," she said angrily wiping away the tears that were pouring down her cheeks.

"I didn't mean for this to happen," Tommy said walking towards her. "I swear to god Hales," he said putting his arms around her.

"Don't touch me," she said pushing him away. "You have no right to touch me anymore, ever!"

"Hayley I didn't mean to hurt you," he said going to her again.

"Well you did! I'm your wife Tommy. I'm the one you promised to love and honor for the rest of your life, not some tramp you met at a parent-teacher conference," Hayley yelled pushing him away again. She felt broken; her heart had felt as if it had been smashed to pieces.

"It's not my fault," Tommy said holding his hands up. "I didn't mean to fall in love with her! It just happened!"

"Ooh it's not your fault, that's so typical of you Tommy, you don't take responsibility for anything, you never have," Hayley said bitterly. "Whose fault is it then Tommy? Mine? Was I not enough for you? Is that why you had to go slumming with someone else?"

"It's not your fault Hayley, I love you," Tommy said walking to her again. He winced when her hand connected with his cheek.

"Don't say that! Don't you ever say that to me again, you have no right, none what so ever to say those words to me after what you've you been doing," Hayley spat at him angrily. "You don't love me, you know nothing about love if you think you can say that to me after what you've done."

"I do love you Hayley, I'm just not in love with you," Tommy said quietly.

"Were you ever? Were you honestly ever in love with me Tommy? Or was I just convenient for you?" Hayley asked, her heart breaking even more hearing those words from Tommy. How dare he say them to her after what he did?

"What?" Tommy asked, shocked by the questions falling from her lips.

"You've found a million ways to let me down, so I don't hurt when you're not around, I was blind," Hayley said locking eyes with him. "But now I see, this is how you feel. Say it to me Tommy, if this was ever real. Give me the truth Tommy, even if hurts her me. I don't care anymore, I just need to truth," she said softly.

"You gave me everything I ever needed, you were there for me through all of my bad times, you were the constant presence in my life," Tommy said walking over to her and putting his arms tentatively around her.

"You're not answering my question. Please, just give me the truth. I need to hear you say it, please," she buried her head into his shoulder. "Give me the truth," she whispered breaking down into heartwrenching sobs.

"How can I not love you Hales?" Tommy said holding her tightly.

He still hadn't answered her question. That's when she realized it, deep down inside. He'd never been in love with her. She'd just been there for him, a constant presence in his life. Someone safe, someone who'd never hurt him. "I hate you," she said pulling away from him.

"Hayley…"

"I hate you so much," she said shaking her head. "I want a divorce."

"Hayley," Tommy moved towards her again.

"Don't. Please, just don't. I'll get the paperwork tomorrow," she said heading for the door.

"I love you Hayley," Tommy said watching her walk to the door.

"I hate you," she said softly opening the door. The last three years of her life, years where she'd never been so happy, they'd all been a lie. She'd wasted the last three years of her life on someone who'd never been in love with her; she'd just been a crutch. She walked out the door feeling like her life was over.
