"You booked the night train for a reason
So you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse"

"That's not fair! You can't just leave for a week again! Do you just expect me to sit here and wait patiently until you get home? For all I know there's another girl-" He cut her off before she could finish. "HEY! You know that's not true. I love you and only you ok? I promise."
He walked toward her, arms outstretched ready to embrace her forever. However instead of stepping into his embrace as usual, she pushed past him toward the door. She grabbed her keys and reached for the door when he finally spoke. "At least put o a coat 'Beth. It's cold outside." His voice was quiet. Hurt. Yet his number one priority was still to keep her safe. But she ignored him, her coat still in his hand, and left without a word.
Once she got to the train station she got on and sat in the only seat that was vacant and chose a random destination. When she was settled she hugged herself and silently cried until she no longer could. No one even looked her way but it was better that way. It made her feel more alone. 'Which you deserve' she told herself. And that was it.

"Your mom's ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
Champagne problems"

The tears welled in his eyes as the betrayal and sadness overwhelmed him. He blinked the tears away before they could fall. How could she say that? He looked at her face and saw the shock that he felt displayed on her face.
"I-Perce-I-I'm" She began but he stopped her. "Did you really mean that? Do you really want to break up?" Guilt flashed on her face as she replied. "No! NO of course not I just - I'm stupid. I shouldn't have said that - I - I'll make it up to you I - I promise. Just p - please don't leave. I love you so much and I - I would die without you. Just - Just dont leave"
