Lyrics of our life

Happier than ever

Hello, a new oneshot is here. Leave a comment with a guess, which song this is based on :)

Robert grunted annoyed as his phone rang. Now he had to get up from his comfortable couch. He had left his phone in the kitchen on purpose to get some peaceful time but in case there was a big fire he had to leave it on loud. Expecting exactly that, a call about a big fire, he was very surprised to see that it wasn't that. It was Andy calling him. Curious what she wanted from him at 10.30pm he picked up the call.

"Hey." He said clearing his throat. "Hey there my handsome soon to be ex husband." She slurred her words a little. "Your drunk." Robert stated simply. It explained the call, after weeks of complete silence between the two of them. "I'm not drunk! Okay maaaybe I had a drink or two buut I'm perrrfectly Cleear." Andy continued. "Yea sure. I can hear that." Robert said annoyed. Despite everything a part of him was still waiting for Andy to realize what she was doing but once again that wasn't why she called.

"Soo I'm close by aand passing through our well your street anyways so I'm gonna come by." Andy said. "Are you driving?!?" Robert asked her shocked. Never had she done such thing and he thought she would never. Too many times they had seen the consequences of drunk driving on calls.

"I toold you I'm not drunk. I'll be there in 5." And with that Andy just hung up the phone. For a moment Robert stood there looking at his phone in shock. He started pacing around his place, looking out to the driveway every few seconds. After a couple of minutes he went outside and looked up and down the street hoping to see her car. And then he saw it coming, to his surprise for the state she was in she was driving a straight line.

Andy parked the car and Got out. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING ANDY?! DRUNK DRIVING ANDY? YOU KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED? YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH!" He yelled at her immediately.  Andy didn't seem very bothered by his outburst and walked past him, in a not so straight line, into his house.

Robert sighed and followed her inside. Andy slipped out of her shoes and let her jacket fall down onto them before she let herself fall into the couch and pulling the blanket over her. "Yea sure make yourself comfortable." Robert said annoyed as he walked by the couch. He took a bottle of water out of the fridge and sat down on the coffee table. "Drink." He ordered her as he held the bottle out to her. Hesitantly Andy took the bottle and sat up. They sat across from each other in silence while Andy kept sipping on the water.

"You can sleep on the couch." Robert said quietly. Andy already laid back down and as she hit the cushions she was fast asleep. Robert went through her jacket and took her car keys upstairs with him. He didn't want to risk her taking off before she was completely sober.

Laying in his bed, his thoughts kept him up. Andy's behaviour got more and more annoying as the weeks past. It felt as if she was simply torturing him for whatever reasons she might have. He had given up trying to figure out what she was thinking. Something that once came natural to him, was now impossible. She wasn't who she used to be.

Sick of thinking about her he tried his best to push these thoughts away. After a while he was able to find some sleep.

When Robert woke up the house was still silent. Either Andy had left without her car or she was still asleep. He wasn't in the mood to see her but still, it was his house and the coffee was downstairs.

Walking down he saw Andy still sleeping on the couch. Back in the day he wouldn't have made a coffee now, simply just so he wouldn't wake up his wife. But time past and now he didn't care. The loud coffee machine woke Andy up. She looked around confused but quickly the last night came back to her.

"Coffee?" Robert asked. "Uhm no thank you. I should probably go." Andy replied, desperate to get away from the drunken mistakes she had made last night. "Andy, we need to talk. And before you argue I took your car keys last night so if you want them back you'll have talk to me first." Robert put down another coffee on the kitchen island.

Andy contemplated just leaving her car behind but she got up and took her seat at the kitchen island. It was her place, it's where she had sat each morning.

"Why did you come last night?" Robert started. Andy's actions kept confusing him and he needed clarity. "I was drunk." Andy stated. "Yea you were and you were also driving which... honestly makes me furious but despite that, even drunk there's a deeper meaning behind why you came here. I just- what do you want from me Andy?" He looked at her but she looked down at the coffee mug in her hands.

"I don't know Robert okay? I was drunk, I was passing through on my way home from Joes, so my drunk self made a stupid mistake." Andy bit her lip. Robert couldn't help but let out a huff as he heard her excuse. "Come on we both know your home is the opposite way from Joes." He was annoyed at her stupid excuses she kept making.

"Fine you weren't on my way, but I still came. So what?" She looked at him annoyed now. Not sure what is point of all those questions were. People do stupid things when drunk, he should know that. "So what? Andy you keep coming to me for things, drunk or not you always expect me to save you. And I do I take you in when you turn up drunk, I picked you up when you were stranded, I held you when you couldn't sleep... but we are divorced. YOU filed, you didn't want to be married to me, so why can't you let me go?" It felt good to finally get it off his chest. Andy sat in silence surprised by his honesty. She hadn't seen it that way.

"Andy you've treated me like shit for almost two years now, I'd never do that to you but it's hell for me. You don't want me but you also don't want to let me go and you keep coming to me for things. I hate being here, I... I hate being in Seattle, being near you." He let out a breath he'd been holding in. This morning he hadn't planned to be quite this honest with her but now he was putting it all on the table. It was way past time.

"I- I don't know what to say." Andy said quietly. She couldn't look at him so she played with her mug instead. Deep down she always knew what she was doing to him wasn't fair but she could never stop, something always pulling her back to him.

"I just don't understand it Andy. I know you talk shit about me all the time. At 23, to everyone at 19 but I would never do that to you.  I wouldn't want to hurt you but why do you keep hurting me?" He paused but Andy still didn't look at him or say anything so he continued. "These past two years have been some off my worst years in my life, I tried to talk to you, I apologized and all you did was make me sad and miserable. But I'm so over that, I'm ready to move on Andy so stop wasting your time trying to make me feel bad."

"I'm sorry Robert." Andy whispered. After a moment she finally looked up at him and for the first time she could actually see the pain she has caused him. "I really am sorry. I don't know what's going on with me." She said sincerely. "Well me neither but as we're finally talking for once I think it's a good time to tell you something else. Please be cool about it and not freak out." Robert said. Andy slightly raised an eyebrow waiting for him to continue.

"I'm seeing someone, we've been dating for a few weeks and before you ask who it is. It's Natasha, the new chief." Robert said, ready for her outburst that he was hoping wouldn't come. "The new chief? Seriously?" She yelled getting up. Robert chuckled at her response. "You're the one who slept with Beckett, who if I recall correctly you didn't know before. I know Natasha from way back, we had a thing back then too, it's not like I'm going for some random person just to hurt you, that's your specialty." He knew he hit a nerve now.

"That's not fair." Andy crossed her arms in front of her chest. Robert shook his head. "Clearly before today you weren't aware that you made me miserable. For you it was just a game." Robert stood up now too. "So you're happy with her?" Andy but her lip.

"If you really want to know, yea there was a grieving phase when you filed for the divorce but over time Things changed. When I'm away from you, i'm happier than ever. I'm not saying this to hurt you and I wish I could explain it better and I wish it wasn't true. I wish you never filed for divorce but you did and I'm okay with that now. I moved on Andy and it's time for you to do the same."

He looked in her eyes, hoping to see a glimpse of his Andy but nothing. This wasn't the women he married. He saw nothing but hatred in her eyes and while he hoped somewhere deep down Andy was still in there it wasn't his job to help her anymore.

Robert walked to the door and opened it. "You should go now and in the future just fucking leave me alone Andy." No hatred in his voice, simply the need to move on with his life without her childish games.
