The way it should be//a.a

Adele's POV

I didn't understand.

I didn't understand him and I didn't understand me.

He was always home. I knew for a fact he wasn't cheating, but day by day I could feel our hearts slowly began to detach from each other.

It feels as if we hadn't been a couple for 2 years. Like he doesn't know me and I barely know him.

But we live together.

---------------

Before when he came home from work we would always discuss our day, but for a little over two months now, there has been no more than a 'good' exchanged between the two of us.

Two whole months since I felt his lips on my own.

-------------
He stormed through the bedroom door, only standing a few inches away from me.

He looked right into my eyes and said the words I didn't want to hear.

"Babe, this just isn't working. You and I both know it, I think it's time for me to go."

I couldn't just let him walk out that easy. This is 2 whole years of our lives and he wants to give it up without even trying.

"No Alex, please don't go....we will make this work and everything will be fine again, please," I said barely above a whisper.

He looked at me, tears staining both of our cheeks, and walked to the closet to pack his things.

--------
I haven't left my house in weeks, nor do I plan on it. I haven't answered my phone since he left, because the person I want to talk to isn't calling.

I've gone through over 20 bottles of wine, but the alcohol just isn't doing its job, numbing me.

So I don't have to feel the pain.

The heartache.

So that maybe one day out of these five weeks I wouldn't have to reply that awful night in my head. What's it gonna take.

-------

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I heard my phone ring for the 12th time today, and like every other time, I got the slightest but excited.

Maybe he came to his senses.

He's probably in the same state as me.

I looked at the caller ID expecting to see his name at the top.

Laura.

-----------
"Babe, can you tell me why I just saw Alex holding hands with some girl in the mall?" She said, sounding so innocent, she had no clue we haven't spoken to eachother in 5 weeks.

"Laura I've- I've got to go." I had tears rapidly fell down my face.

"Oh my God dele I didn't- I'll be there in a bit babe hold on." She sounded so hurt, it wasn't her fault.

-------------
Within minutes there was a knock at the door followed by the door slamming.

"Laura please leave I really don't wanna talk right now" I couldn't stop crying because suddenly all the pieces fit together.

"Dele I'm not leaving because I'm supposed to be here when you need someone. I think you need to talk about it."

-------------

After telling her the long story of why I hadn't answered her calls for a while, we both sat there covered in tears and decided to take a nap.
