Disclaimer: I Don't own them.
She couldn't understand it. It made absolutely no sense. All she knew for sure was that her relationship was failing. The man she loved was at the center of her problems, or that's what her friends told her. At first she could not, would not believe it. Her friends had to be wrong about him, he was everything she wanted. He was handsome, kind, and loved her, didn't he?
If he did love her then why was he acting the way he was. 'This doesn't make any sense!!!!'
"I have to do something to get my mind off of this."
She walked into the kitchen and began to fix dinner. But she couldn't stop thinking about her problem. She found the harder she tried to forget her problem the more it plagued her mind. 'He loves me dammit!!!' Even to her the statement sounded half-hearted. If anything the comment brought about more confusion and nervous tension.
'I cant takes this anymore.'
With that she fled to their room trying desperately to find anything to prove to herself that she wasn't wrong. She found no such relief she threw herself on to their bed and wished for sleep. Her wish was granted in a restless sleep.
* Two Hours Later *
The ringing of their phone interrupted her rest. She sleepily tried to find the phone in hopes of being able to return to her rest.
Ring, Ring, Ring
"Hello."
"I'm so sorry!" came the mumbled reply.
"Serena, slow down what are you talking about?"
"I saw your boyfriend kissing another girl. I'm so sorry!" she wailed.
All she could do was listen to Serena as she told her about what she had seen. The only thing that she could think was it wasn't true, but Serena's proved her wrong.
"I was out with Rei and the rest of the girls. We were just coming back from the Crown Game Center. They just got the new Sailor V game. Which I got the high score on. After we had a couple of drinks we all headed home. On the way Makoto notice your boyfriend heading home with one of his friends, when this girl came up to him and started kissing him. At first we thought it was someone else but we heard that girl say his name. I'm so sorry."
"Thanks Serena." Cane the numb reply.
"I'm so sorry, are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah, I'll talk to you later.
With that she hung up the phone and decided to find out the truth for herself. She would wait for him to come home then she would have her answer. She sat down in the living room and waited.
* One Hour Later *
She was on edge. She hadn't move from her spot on the couch until she heard raised voices in the hallway. He was back from his night with his friends. She moved to the door getting ready to open it and get an explanation when she heard the last thing she wanted to hear.
"I didn't know you were such a ladies man. I don't even have it that good, man."
She immediately went to 'her' room and threw herself on the bed. "I'm home," he called from the door. Getting no response he began to look for her. She was not in their room or in the living room. He stopped in front of her old room. There was no way she could be in there she had not slept in there since they had first got together. Passing the room by he decided to simply go to sleep.
~~~~~~~~ The Next Day ~~~~~~~~
She awoke to find their apartment empty. 'He must be at work' she thought. After he had come home last night she had realized that his mannerism was slowly changing back to what it had been when they had first met. The only thing that explained that was the appearance of that girl. She decided if he didn't care for her anymore then she wouldn't stay. So she pulled out her bag and began to pack.
I don't understandYou look just like the man
In the picture by our bed
The suspense in pounding and
Clouding up my head
As she packed what was in her room she noticed the pictures on her desk. There were pictures of herself, her friends, and her boyfriend. Seeing herself looking so happy brought her to tears. She decided to pack them to have something to remember their time together.
I'm checking your clothes
And you wear the same size shoe
You sleep in his spot
And you're driving his car
But, I don't know just who are you are
She was in their room now. She wasn't packing anymore was simply staring and remembering their time together.
~~~~~~ FlashBack ~~~~~
He had always been antisocial, never say much to others, but that was what she liked about him. She had first met him when she started college. She found that he was interested in the same things she was. She was in computer class casually listening to introductions when she was invited into a chatroom named 'Hello'

There's a stranger in my house
It took awhile to figure out
There's no way you could be who you say are
You gotta be someone else
Cuz' he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do
He would adore me
He wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced
There's a stranger in my houseShe smiled through her tears as he remembered their first date. He had been so nervous.
~~~~~~~~ FlashBack ~~~~~~~~
He arrived exactly on time; after all he wanted to impress her. He quickly ran over his checklist in his head. 'Tickets. Check. Flowers. Check. Keys. Check. Good to go.' He knocked on the door and held his breath…
~~~~~~ End Flash Back~~~~~
I'm not sure who you are
Don't see your shadow around when you walk
Dontleave me no kisses
Goodbye with no words
If the walls could talk
They'd have nothing to tell
She was back in her room now. She was still in tears as she sat at her desk. She remembered their first kiss and the first time he told her 'I love you'. Her only thoughts were 'I have to let him go,' as she began to write.
Dear….
So what could it be
Is there someone imitating me
Could she be taking my place
Look me in the face
And tell me that I'm wrong when I say
There's a stranger in my house
It took awhile to figure out
There's no way you could be who you say are
You gotta be someone else
Cuz' he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do
He would adore me
He wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced
There's a stranger in my houseShe had finished the letter an hour ago. She had placed it on their bed where he would be sure to find it. On top of the letter she left her picture and a message on the back of it. Taking one last look at their apartment she grabbed her bags and left.
Pop quiz
Tell me where we first kissed
Tell me where my spot isTell me if I liked it; loved it
As she approached the door she only hoped the he would be happy. With that she raised her hand and knocked.
Or could it be
That the stranger is me
Have I changed so drastically
Is it I want more?
Could be
And you remain….
He had just arrived at their home to find only his belongings. He didn't understand what was going on. The only things that belonged to her were on the bed. A picture and a letter with his name on it.

Serena had just finished talking to Rei on the phone when she heard someone knocking on the door. She answered the and was met with her oldest friend in tears.
"Amy!!!"

He had read the letter twice and he still couldn't believe it. She had left him and all she had left was her picture. He could only stare at her, then he noticed the message on the back.
