*****1 MONTH LATER*****

I was sitting in Chris's house while he went and picked up dinner. I was spending the weekend with him while Chase spent the weekend camping with a friends family, a little fun before back to school. I start fiddling with his piano and I thought back to when Wade caught me playing piano once.

*****FLASHBACK, 10 YEARS AGO*****

Chase was spending the weekend with Wade's parents and we were going to have time alone, finally. It never seemed to happen. I knew he would be home from work soon and dinner was going to be finished by the time he walked in the door. We had a piano in out house we moved into, it came with the house and I was teaching myself to play just for fun. I had learned to play Truly Madly Deeply and I was going to surprised Wade when he came home from work. I was fiddling around when Wade walked in the door and I smiled at him from the piano.

"Hey." He said coming over to kiss me.

"Hey. You still trying to play this thing?" Wade asked with a chuckle.

"I actually learned how to play something and I want to play it for you." I said and he laughed.

"Chopsticks doesn't count Sky." Wade said with a laugh and I looked at him annoyed.

"Not chopstick Wade. Come on let me do this for you." I said and he groaned and sat next me. I started playing our song. I made it halfway through and he was laughed.

"What the fuck was that?" Wade asked and I just looked at him.

"Truly, Madly, Deeply." I said hurt. Wade scoffed.

"Didn't seem like it to me. Leave the playing to the professionals sweetie." Wade said. I just closed the lid to the piano and went to leave the room but stopped.

"You know I was trying to do something nice for you and you just fucking ruin everything. You ruined my life when I got pregnant and got married so damn young! I never got a life because of you!" I screamed and Wade just looked at me.

"I ruined your life?! You think I liked being saddled with a kid and wife while all my friends were going out, getting drunk, picking up chicks at the bar. I had to become a provider! I didn't want that!" Wade yelled.

"So sorry you didn't get to go out and sleep with whores! If that's what you want just go now! I don't fucking care! There's the goddamn door!" I yelled pointing to the front door.

"Oh yeah you would like that wouldn't you?! Get me out of the fucking house so you can sit and tinker on the piano a little more and not do shit!" Wade yelled.

"Not do shit?! I cook you for, always what you want, I clean this damn house when you make the mess, I take care of our son! I do just as much as anyone with a job!" I yelled.

"Bullshit." Wade said and I groaned and I heard the oven timer go off. I walked in the kitchen and took the homemade lasagna out of the over. I tossed it on the table.

"There's your fucking dinner. Enjoy it!" I yelled as I left the kitchen and went to the bedroom. I never felt Wade come to bed that night. We also never apologized for the fight or talked about it.

*****END FLASHBACK*****

I never played much or even sang much after that. I knew I did karaoke and played that one time at my parent's house but that was the first time in about 5 to 6 years. I sat down to play a song I had heard recently and fell in love with it.

🎵I need a lover to keep me sane
Pull me from hell bring me back again
Play me the classics something romantic
Give him my all when I don't even have it
I always dreamed of a solemn face
Someone who feels like a holiday
But now I'm in pieces, barely believing
Starting to think that I've lost all feeling
You came out the blue on a rainy night, no lie
I tell you how I almost died, while you're bringing me back to life
I just wanna live in this moment forever
'Cause I'm afraid that living couldn't get any better
Started giving up on the word forever
Until you give up heaven so we could be together
You're my angel, angel baby
Angel, you're my angel, baby
Baby, you're my angel, angel baby🎵
