Can you re-love a cheater?

The messages stopped. Yet Irene found herself looking at her phone constantly, she missed it. But she would deny it until her dying breath. She rested a hand on her stomach smiling at the little kick she felt back. The one thing that diverted her mind completely. Their child. No...Her child, she corrected her heart. The girls were fussing over her as they prepared food for her. She sat back slouching in her seat, closing her eyes, catching a few minutes of peace. She knew deep down she was missing him. This was something they had talked about when they were together, the idea of having a family. She remembered the way his eyes lit up at the thought of having mini Jackson's as he called them. She remembered the excitement as he touched her stomach as he said if they had a girl he would name her Isabel and for a boy Jay. She felt the corners of her mouth curl as she forced herself to remember the way he said he would be by her side during the morning sickness and through the sleepless nights, how he promised to get her whatever she was craving whenever. How he promised he'd hold her hand through it all. And that was the direct contrast to reality. She was alone. His words were a lie. Just like their entire relationship. The girls turned watching her in concern as she forced a smile on her face, trying to erase any signs of the pain. She patted her stomach softly looking back at the girls who noticed the storm in her eyes. And they watched in helplessness as she walked back to her room, the door closing in a loud thud.

Two hours later the girls reached SM, looking up at building that shaped them and their careers. Irene walked ahead towards their managers room. "I want to release one more song before I go on this break." Everyone looked at her in shock. "Irene you don't have to...you and the girls have released so much in the past three months, two group albums not to mention the other solo one you released. If your worried about your legacy I'm telling you now, you have one. Everyone loves you and your music. And they will understand this break, you don't need over exert yourself, your 6 months pregnant even if you don't look like you are, you need to stop overworking yourself...." Irene looked up at the manager. "I know, and I'm not afraid anymore, I was but I've over come it. This song is more of tying up lose ends. And it's only one song." He looked at her sighing and gripping the bridge of his nose. "Okay...fine kiddo you can release the song." He shook his head walking up to her placing a hand on her stomach "That kid in their is lucky to have you as a mother, she or he will be proud of what you have accomplished in the same way that we are all proud of you." Irene smiled, her eyes watering as she cursed "Gosh damn these hormones." They laughed at her as she shook her head. "I've got the sound if you guys want to hear it." They nodded moving to the sound room. She walked into the recording room giving them all a thumbs up and begun singing seconds after the intro.

"Runaway and don't look back
Take everything I can pack
One way ticket, not comin' back
How did we end up this way?
You took his life and took his place
What do you want from me?
And why did you stay?
If you didn't feel the same
Who are you? Have we met?
Where'd you come from?
Cuz I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you anymore
Where'd he go? Take me there!
Where'd you hide him?
Cuz I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you anymore
Don't know, don't know you anymore, you anymore
Don't know, don't know you anymore, you anymore
Can't believe I fell for you
Had me changing all my routes
Rearrange me, make me feel
And I must trace whether it's true
What you try ain't got no clue
How can I be me when there's a you?
And why did you stay?
If you didn't feel the same
Who are you? Have we met?
Where'd you come from?
Cuz I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you anymore
Where'd he go? Take me there!
Where'd you hide him?
Cuz I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you anymore
You keep callin', I don't answer
Cuz I don't answer to you no more
You no more
And everything you say don't matter
Cuz I'm not with you no more
You no more!
Who are you? Have we met?
Where'd you come from?
Cuz I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you anymore
Where'd he go? Take me there!
Where'd you hide him?
Cuz I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you anymore"
