"You don't mean that."
"I do," he said. "I'm sorry. If I had realized that..."
"What? That you were in love with a fucking dead woman?" you spat. "Seriously, Steve, do you hear yourself? Peggy had a fucking life without you. You have a life without her. Are you really going to ruin all of that because you...you can? You're fucking delusional if you think you and her will ever work out."
"No," Steve said. "We were crazy think that this could work."
You looked away. Sure, you relationship wasn't perfect. But what relationship ever was? You had your ups and your downs, but you were so sure your triumphs outweighed any of the hardships. You couldn't have been more wrong.
While you were trying your damned hardest to make things work, Steve was off fantasizing about a woman he couldn't have.
A woman he couldn't have until now, it seemed.
"Fuck you."
"Y/N..."
"Don't say my fucking name. We could've worked out if you just put a fraction of the time you imagined a perfect, American pie life with Peggy into living in the fucking present. Fuck you. Go to her. I don't give a shit anymore."
"I don't want to leave on bad terms."
"Well, you can't stay on good terms. How fucking naïve were you to think that I could a-okay with you running off to the past? That it wouldn't hurt me? Fuck you, Steve. You know, I'd say I hope I never see you again, but by the time you make it back to now, you'll be knocking on death's fucking door."
"I-I do love you. I swear I do."
"There was a time that I would've believed anything you said, but that time is gone. You don't love me. You never did. Not when you always wanted to go back to her. Bye, Steve. I...I hope she's everything you ever wanted." You shook your head. "Actually, I hope she's nothing like you wanted. I hope you go back there and can't ever come back, and everything you thought you wanted was just some shoddy daydream of a fool who couldn't recognized the good in front of him. And I hope you know I will hate you til my last breath. Because you are fucking worst."
"I'm sorry."
"And I wish I could believe you. But, I believed that you loved me, and we both know how wrong I was."
