Patrick Stump Imagines

Step Five: Run Dry

Patrick's POV

It's been a few days after my second encounter with the girl. Yeah, I regretted everything I did that night, but at least she's trying to help me. She may not be on my side, but she's trying her best to make me do what is 'right'. I needed to tell my wife. I need to stop drinking my ass off. I need to stop cheating.

The sunlight creeped out from behind the curtains, inching closer to me every second. It wasn't terribly early in the morning, but it was early enough to where I was the only one awake. I need to plan out what I am going to say to her. What ever I say, I know she won't take it lightly.

I sighed, looking over toward the stairs where my wife should be coming down any second. She had work today, and she should be waking up. Pretty soon, my entirely happy life with her will be over...

The stairs creaked from the pressure being put on them. My eyes fixed on the female figure coming down the stairs, her sleepy eyes not yet alert that I was there. My eyes stung with tears as I watched her stop at the bottom of the stairs, finally taking notice of me. Her sleepy smile is so damn beautiful, it hurts knowing I'll never be able to wake up to it each morning.

"H-hey babe? Can we talk...?" I called over to the sleepy figure.

"What about?" She yawned as she walked over to where I was sitting. My expression softened as I stared at her. She doesn't deserve what's coming to her.

"About the last couple of weeks... How I've been drinking so much..." I told her softly. The expression on her face went from tired to serious once I mentioned drinking. "I'm going to be running dry, now. No more drinks as long as I live."
She cocked her head at me, almost like what I'm saying is foreign to her.

"Oh? Why are you banning alcohol in your life?" She asked me with such innocence. I swallowed the lump in my throat and began to talk.

"I, uh... It helped me make some.... Terrible mistakes..." I looked at her, her narrowed in confusion and then a split second later, they widened by ten times. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing would come out. Tears were starting to fall from her eyes as she shook her head, not wanting to believe what I was about to confirm.

"Y/N.... I'm so so sorry, baby. If I could take it all back, I would. I didn't know what I was loosing until I was smacked in the face by reality. I love you more than anything, and I'm so sorry I'm putting you through this. I never deserved your purity, your kindness, your love. I'm sorry you tru-"

SMACK!

Y/N's hand swept across my face with such force so easily. My head whipped to the side after the impact, and I kept it there. I didn't want to see how broken I made her. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I looked right now, and yet I'm turning my head to look at her. Her once beautiful flawless eyes are now bloodshot, puffy, and still beautiful. A melody of tears streamed down her face none stop.

She didn't say a word. All she did was stand  and stare at me with such disgust. I knew she didn't know what to do. So I helped her decide.

"I know you'll never want to see me again... I'll let you stay here, and I'll find somewhere to go. I'll pay for the rent, and what ever else you need. I'll take anything you want me to. I'll send the divorce papers in the mail so you don't have to see me." I told her as I gathered my coat, keys, and phone. I stood in front of the door, staring at the shell of the person I just broke into a billion pieces. "Text me what ever you want me to take so I can come back when you're not home. I'm so so sorry, Y/N... I love you to Pluto and back; I always will. I'll see you, maybe..." I walked out of my now old home, closing the door behind me.

I didn't move after I left the apartment. I just stood outside the door, wanting to kill myself because of what I did to her. I won't, though. Even if she despises me now, I know she wouldn't want me to.

Ignoring the vibrations in my pocket, I took one last look behind me at the door of her home, then left. I hope she can recover soon... She doesn't deserve the pain I caused her.

Hey guys! So, I'm sorry to say this but I think I'm going to be putting Jet Pack Blue on a hiatus. I'm having a bad writers block with the book, and I don't want to write you guys really shitty chapters. I hope to bring it back soon, though! Hope you all understand, and enjoyed the most likely last part of this little series!

Love each and everyone of you!
