I Told You So Kaiden/Grace

Chronoangel94- I still don't own Mass effect just my Shepard Grace. Bioware owns Mass Effect and Randy Travis owns I Told you so

Suppose I called you up tonight

And told you that I love you

Kaiden Alenko sat staring at his phone and a picture of his ex-girlfriend Grace Shepard. He made the biggest mistake of his life walking away from her at Horizon, he broke her heart and left his with her. He realized it now he loved her and it shouldn't have mattered that Cerebrus had brought her back.

And Suppose I said I want to come back home

And supposed I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson

And I'm tired of spending all my time alone.

Kaiden leaned against the head board and wondered yet again what Grace was doing. He sincerely hoped Grace was alone, or at least not seeing anybody.

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted

And it's killing me to be so far away

He was sitting in a hospital bed after the fiasco on Mars. Grace had already come to visit once so he was alone again. He thought back to the visit and the lack of tension between them that he had noticed. Kaiden was hoping that meant that Grace had forgiven him his mistake and not that she had moved on from him.

Would you tell me that you love me too

And would we cry together

Grace walked in to Kaiden's room and gave him a friendly smile. His heart skipped a beat even as he noted it wasn't filled with love, just friendship. Jos heart began to fall in disappointment.

"How are you?" Grace asked.

"I'm fine Commander. I can't wait to get out of here and do some more work." He answered somewhat honestly.

Or would you simply look at me and say

I told you so, I told you so

I told you someday you'd com crawling back

And asking me to take you in

"Come on you idiot, tell her before you lose her for good" Kaiden muttered to himself.

"Did you say something?" Grace asked cocking her head to the right in her questioning manner.

"Nothing Commander"

I told you so, but you had to go

Now I've found somebody new

And you'll never break my heart in two again

The fear in his heart that Grace had found someone new grew with every second. He began to think of everyone on her crew that she could have begun a relationship with. Liara had always had a thing for Grace, and Grace was fond of her too.

If I got down on my knees

And told you I was yours' forever

"Grace we need to talk."

"Yes Kaiden"

"I'm still in love with you." Grace's mouth fell open in shock and she shook her head no. Kaiden felt his heart drop and knew he was going to be rejected.

Would you get down on yours too and take my hand

Would we get that old-time feeling

Would we laugh and talk for hours

The way we did when our love first began

Kaiden looked at Grace knowing that it was more than likely completely over. He began to remember how they would talk for hours on their favorite subject books, music, food, it didn't matter they talked about anything and everything.

Would you tell me that you missed me too

And that you've been so lonely

And you've waited for the day I returned

And we'd live and love forever

Grace stepped away from Kaiden and his heart was breaking more and more.

"I've always loved you." Kaiden tried once again to keep her, his commander.

And that I'm your one and only

Or would you say the table's turned

And would you say

'No Kaiden you haven't" Grace started with a grimace, "Or you never could have walked away so easily on Horizon" He took a step back in pain

I told you so, I told you so

I told you someday you'd come crawling back

And asking me to take you in

I told you so, but you had to go

"You left on Horizon Kaiden. You didn't trust me. I wasn't going to wait on you forever." She stated gently not wanting to hurt him anymore than she had to.

Now I've found somebody new

And you will never break my heart in two again

"I have one question Gracie."

"Don't call me that anymore by ask away."

"Who? Who did you fall for?" He asked fearing the answer.

"Garrus" Grace answered as the door opened revealing Garrus Vakarian causing her eyes to light up in joy. Kaiden saw the expression on her face and knew he had lost the only girl he had ever loved. The fact was he lost her to her best friend. The two nodded at Kaiden and walked out of the door together, the way he and her should have been if not for his own stupid mistake.
