Never thought that you were
Someone to say things that you didn't mean.

"Grace?"
"Finn? Where are you, what's wrong?" Grace spoke through the phone. It was late in New York, but she could probably tell by my voice that I had been crying.
I let out a small laugh, "She's gone."
I heard her sigh, "She admitted to it?"
I shook my head despite the fact that she couldn't see me, "She wasn't just seeing him. He had these pictures of her...naked pictures. My guess is he was using them against her."
"So what went wrong then?" Grace asked.
"She had been sending them up until we got together I guess. She hid the fact that they had been together past fourteen from me," I explained as best as I could. I was only making observations, but it was the only thing that made sense.
"Wait she had been with him still? As in, with him like a couple?" Grace asked.
I nodded, "Yeah. He said he "enjoyed their time together since February."
Grace sighed again, "Finn I know I'm not the biggest fan of Millie and I never really have been, but even if it has been going on since February, didn't you say you think he was using the pictures against her?"
"That doesn't matter though, she still hid it from me, she still lied to me, and she still cheated on me," I said growing angry.
"She cheated on you? She didn't kiss him or anything when I took the picture. At least as far as I know she didn't," Grace said in confusion.
I laughed, "Yeah as far as we both know. I came home early though because the band didn't need me anymore. I figured I'd surprise her for the day that she'd be here before promo for her movie but I walked in on the two practically choking on each other's tongues on the couch."
"I'm so sorry Finn," Grace said sadly.
"It's fine though, who needs her anyway? I have my band, we're releasing an album in two months, I have Scout, and I have this big ass house that I can live in all by myself," I rambled on. I could feel my eyes watering more and more with every word.
I looked around as Grace stayed quiet on the phone. I could feel my tears start to fall and I wiped at them furiously, cursing myself for crying again.
"Grace...I don't want any of this. I don't want any of it because it isn't her."
Another sigh from Grace, "I'll be on a flight there by tomorrow, okay? We'll figure it out."
"Why would she even do this to me? Do you realize how much I did for her? How I dealt with her mood swings when we were first together? She almost fucking broke up with me! I begged her not to leave me, Grace. I would have given her the world!" I yelled getting angry.
I hated all the emotions I was feeling. She made me angry because it was true, I would have done anything for her. At the same time I was sad because I lost her. But even the thought of her made me hurt.
"She didn't deserve you," Grace said simply.
I nodded, "Yeah, she didn't."
"At least you know that," Grace replied.
It was quiet for a couple seconds before Grace spoke again.
"Let's release the picture."
