Lie To Me - Ending A

Lie To Me - Ending A

If you don't love me – lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you don't love me baby – lie to me, lie to me
Baby, I can take it
C'mon lie to me

Last night was single-handedly the worst night of my life. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't stop thinking about what I had done, and what it caused me. I know it was her who had the affair, but it was never my place to keep something like this from her. She did what she did because of love. I did what I did out of fear.

A photograph sitting beside the phone catches my attention. Me and her, with the twins between us, on their first birthday. We are all laughing, happy. What I would do to get things back the way they were.

The phone rings, but I barely react. I stare at it for a moment. Could it be her? I hurriedly reach for it. 'Steph?'

'Hunter, it's Shane.'

My heart sinks. His voice sounded…defeated. 'She…she told you? Everything?'

'She won't tell me anything,' he says on the other end. 'I tried to talk her out of it, but she's made up her mind.'

I can hear the questions in his voice. She really didn't tell him anything. 'Out of what?' I ask fearfully.

'She wants a divorce, Hunter.'

The word hits me hard in the stomach, and leaves me completely speechless and frozen

A few seconds – or is that minutes? – later, I gradually hear Shane frantically asking if I was alright. I shake my head to clear it, though it's no help. I answer him with a faint, 'I'm here.'

'I'm so sorry, Hunter,' he apologises, though I have no idea why. 'I really thought you guys were going to make it.'

My mind is numb. I can't think, I can't feel, I can't…I can't live without her.

Five years ago, my dreams came true. Dreams that I didn't even know existed until that very moment it happened. I fell in love. And she loved me back.

That was five years ago, before she knew the simple truth – we were never meant to be. She was never meant to be mine.

She never will be.
