The pale light of the early morning sun streamed through the window and fell in a sharp angle across the bed. It was just enough to wake you and you blinked open sleepy eyes. You smiled as your gaze settled on Peter who was still sleeping. It wouldn't last long, he always woke up shortly after you. You no sooner had the thought than those piercing blue eyes met your gaze.

He arched a brow as was his habit when he caught you watching him. "Like what you see?" he asked, with that cocky smirk he wore so well adorning his face.

You hummed in agreement. "You know I do."

He rolled onto his back with a groan and ran a hand down his face. "What time is it?"

You glanced at the clock. "Nine."

His head snapped in your direction, his eyes wide. "Aren't you going to be late meeting Chris?" he asked.

It made you smile just a bit. He always knew just what you were supposed to be doing and who you were supposed to be doing it with. Well, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. "Chris canceled all our breakfast meetings for the foreseeable future."

Peter leaned up on his elbow and frowned down at you. "What? Why?"

You sighed. You'd been hoping to avoid this conversation for at least a few more days. "He found out about you. He doesn't trust me anymore."

Peter's jaw went tight and he sat up on the edge of the bed, turning his back to you. "You should talk to him. Try to convince him that it's nothing.

That had you sitting up and wrapping the sheet around your chest. "Of course, I tried, Peter but he wasn't having it. He told me to get out and stay gone until I came to my senses."

He groaned. "Well, you're not much good to me then, are you?"

Cold fear gripped your chest with his words. "What do you mean?

He glanced at you over his shoulder, his eyes were blank, cold. None of the usual love you saw reflected there. "I mean you should get dressed and find somewhere else to be. I have no more use for you."

"Use?" you asked even as you scrambled to your feet to get dressed. You needed the armor of your clothing between you and the harshness of his tone.

Even as he pulled on his sweats, he gave you a look of complete disdain. "Surely it isn't that difficult to understand. You served a purpose. Now you do not."

Your heart ached as you finally let yourself hear what he was telling you. You had been a way for him to get more information on your family. To keep tabs on what they were up to. Now that family wasn't talking to you so you had nothing to give him. Moisture pooled in your eyes. "Please don't do this, Peter. I love you."

He saunters toward you wearing a cocky smile. He lifted one hand and trailed his fingers down your cheek as his eyes looked into yours. "So pretty," he says though there is no emotion in it. He could have just as easily been talking about most anything at all.

"I gave you everything." You are proud when your voice doesn't break. Though one tear overflows and runs down your cheek. "I gave you all of me."

"I. Don't. Want. It."

He says it just like that and the words tear through you leaving devastation in their wake. You suck in a breath as you try to wrap your mind around how you ended up here. Months you'd been with him and now he was saying it was all a lie.

You paced away from him to look out the window as you chewed at your thumb. "I don't understand," you said though you understood perfectly well. You hated how uncertain you sounded, how broken.

"It's quite simple, Y/N. It was a game. A ruse. I needed information and you were a way to get it."

"Oh." You know you should say something else. That you should scream at him or hit him. Hell, you should probably shoot him. Your brother would help you get rid of the body. But your heart was broken and you couldn't find it in yourself to do anything other than cry. You wrapped your arms around yourself and dropped your head to stare at your feet as you made your way across the floor. You paused at the door to look back at him only to find he'd already turned his back.

He was supposed to be the love of your life but as it turned out, he never loved you at all.
