Enough is Enough
Warren walked silently to the apartment door. He didn't' know what awaited him inside. Would Rogue be pissed or understanding. Or would she even be there? He twisted the handle. Locked, of course. He lifted up the welcome mat. That key was gone too. Just as he was about to find some other way of getting inside- the door opened.
"What?" Rogue said. Warren didn't know what exactly to say, "I-I came h-home."
"Finally," she said, not moving from the doorway, keeping him outside. "I thought we were good, Warren. Then this?"
"I needed-"
"Time? Space? A few moments alone?"
"I t-thought you'd understand…"
"Really? Cause I don't- Warren. So explain it to me, why don't ya? Explain to me why my husband never talks to me, never lets me in on his problems, and just thinks fuck it! I'll go get drunk and try to kill myself, she won't mind."
"Well I didn't do it this time!" he said. "Don't care. I'm tired of you and your issues. We should be able to work them out together, but you don't tell me anything."
"You don't ask!"
"I shouldn't have to," Rogue hissed, "I just shouldn't."
"Rogue, c'mon, I need you…"
"Really?" Rogue finally moved from the doorway- but stepped out, instead of letting him in. "I find that hard to believe."
"I go to work, so I can feed you and take care of you. I come home, tired, exhausted and irritated, and there you are- almost dead."
"I've never gotten that far," he snapped. "Not yet," she quickly retorted, "But I'm not sticking around for you too."
"Rogue!" "And then you complain that I never say I Love You. Well I let my actions speak for themselves, and taking care of you seems to qualify in that category. And when do you say you love me? Never."
"I can't live without you!"
"Really? But you can die with me, huh?"
"That's not fair," Warren replied. "Maybe not, but it's not like you fair to me either."
Warren hadn't noticed the bag she had in her hand, but now, it was clearly obvious. "You're leaving?"
"Why should I stay?" Rogue asked, "So I can give up my life to protect you?"
"Just wait, I'll get better!"
"No. No more waiting. I'm done. I've waited for years for you to forget that life, and be with me. I've waited hours today, for you to return and talk to me. But you didn't. And I'm not waiting any longer."
"Please Rogue!" he chased her down the stairs, but she didn't look at him as she kept walking. "Come back!" he begged from the bottom of the stairs. Rogue was already down the sidewalk and through the parking lot when he started crying.
"Don't leave me."
