"I'm sorry Ratchet..."
Ratchet stopped walking, one leg 'causing a small splash of water.
Ratchet moved his head to the side. "What do you mean Prime?" He asked turning around fully.
"I....I don't want to be with you anymore..." Optimus said almost hard enough to hear. "H-Huh?" Ratchet's smile was fading slowly.
"I...Ratchet...I don't love you anymore." Optimus said more loudly. Ratchet stared at him. His eyes blank. He soon dropped his umbrella. "W-What do you mean...? You don't love me anymore?" Ratchet asked, tears building up.
"I...I have...fallen for another...." Optimus averted his gaze.
Ratchet's eyes were blank again, empty, broken, sad, many emotions in one. "Y-You...is...is it..?" Ratchet stopped. "Yes...yes it is...it's Megatron..."
Ratchet's face changed from anger to sadness. He sobbed quietly, mostly muffled by his hand. He removed his hand and smiled. "I-I see..."
He wanted to vomit. "Ratchet, I'm so-" "You don't..have to..." Ratchet waved his hand, dismissing what Optimus was about to say.
"It's fine really, if you don't love me anymore, it's fine...just...hope he makes you happy, happier then you probably were with me..." Ratchet picked up his umbrella and walked away.
His footsteps now fading. His vision of Ratchet was consumed by the rain.
Optimus stood there...
Alone...
"I'm sorry..."
...
Ratchet was heartbroken...
His heart shattered like a broken mirror.
Sadness choking him...
Swallowing him up whole...
His heart pieces were disappearing...
He tried reaching for them....
Nothing...
He was empty...
Alone....
He collapsed on the floor, sobbing loudly. His clothes and hair making him shiver. He hated when relationships ended like this.
But...he knew it would end the same...
Just like every other time...
Again
And again
And again...
"Life's a bitch huh?"
'This one really messed you up...how pathetic...'
His body lost all control and he broke everything he could reach.
Bedside table, tools, pictures, books, sheets, everything.
He stared at the room, breathing heavily. His rage getting to him. 'Why am I getting worked up over this?' He questioned himself. He didn't know the answer...
"Love sucks...life sucks..."
He looked up and smiled.
He closed his eyes...
He didn't want to open them again...
But he knew he'd have to...
Until life decided to take him...
'Optimus....'
'I hope you find happiness with Megatron...or anyone else...I just want you to forget what we were...I want you to forget who I am...'
'I want you to forget...'
Ratchet's tears began to fall again.
...
I hate myself for doing this
