You and me, we made a vow. For better or for worse. 

He recalled back when he finally mustered up enough courage to ask you out, to propose to you, to give his all to you. He carefully placed the picture frame of the both of you kissing on your wedding day down on the table and stood up, his thoughts racing through his mind.

I can't believe you let me down, but the proof's in the way it hurts

He was aware of what was happening. He knew the text messages, the phone calls, everything that concluded that you were cheating on him. He felt tears well up in his eyes, sobs escaping from him. Everything was crumbling down, he felt so disappointed.

For months on end I've had my doubts, denying every tear

He sensed something was wrong back then but he pushed his thoughts away, not wanting to press the matter further. But it was staring at him, all along. He wanted to deny it. He wanted to pretend it didn’t happen. But it wasn’t that easy. He doubted it, he thought about it, he wanted to just ask you to tell you the truth.

I wish this would be over now, but I know that I still need you here

He wanted to end it in the last hurtful way possible but it was a low chance that he wouldn’t get hurt. He was nothing without you but he wanted to stop suffering. He started to be swallowed up by the overwhelming feeling and emotions that attacked him. He wanted things to go back to normal. He wanted the old you back.

You say I'm crazy 'cause you don't think I know what you've done

He had tried to confront you but all you did was laugh and say that he was crazy. “Why will I even do that to you?” You laughed it off. He knew something was off in your tone.

But when you call me baby, I know I'm not the only one

Every time you reached home, you called him baby, wrapping your arms around him. He rubbed his face with his hands. He didn’t want to say anything. He knew that he wasn’t the only one you called baby. He knew that there’s got to be a long list of lovers. He knew everything wasn’t perfectly fine.

You've been so unavailable now sadly I know why

You had always made up an excuse whenever he asked you for dinner or anything. It was like there was a barrier right there. He finally found out of course. How you had always faked it every time, how you pretended that you had work and how you badly wanted to spend more time with him. It was all a hopeless lie.

Your heart is unobtainable even though Lord knows you kept mine

It seemed easy to win your heart at first especially since you got his heart. But it soon started slipping away from his grip and he found himself, with doubts running around his mind. He wasn’t able to reach out, you were drifting away from him.

You say I'm crazy 'cause you don't think I know what you've done

He couldn’t stop himself from thinking of what you had said to him. You had immediately fled from the house after he started yelling at you. Was he wrong? Was he just assuming things? Was he just being paranoid? Or was it all just an act? He couldn’t bring himself to admit that everything was okay.

But when you call me baby, I know I'm not the only one

He had overheard your conversations with him. He felt his heart being ripped to pieces. He knew that he had to say something. He had to do what was right. He couldn’t stay strong for something so hopeless, no matter how desperate he was to think that it was alright. It wouldn’t live and he knew that.

I have loved you for many years, maybe I am just not enough

He had the mind-set that he wasn’t good enough for you. He thought that you had decided to find someone else. Maybe you had gotten bored of him. Maybe it was because you guys weren’t meant for each other.

You've made me realize my deepest fear by lying and tearing us up

“We need to talk, Y/N,” His voice sounded shaky. “Talk about what? So that you can start bloody shouting in my face and accuse me of cheating?” He swallowed a lump in his throat. “I’m not stupid Y/N, I know what is going on, I know I’m not the only one,” He tried to remain calm. “You want to know, right? Yes, I’m cheating on you because you’re not the same person anymore! It’s because you never bothered to talk to me, to ask me out on dinner once again!” He shook his head at this. “I was the same person until I realized what you’re up to. I never talked to you? All those missed calls, messages, what was all that? You were always too busy, doing what? Hanging out with another guy, multiple times, I needed someone and you weren’t there Y/N, it was you,”

You say I'm crazy 'cause you don't think I know what you've done but when you call me baby, I know I'm not the only one

“I knew it all along, Y/N. I’m not as stupid as you think I am. Taking advantage of me was horrible, you used me. To think I gave you everything and thought we were going to have a good life, I was wrong,” He seemed so crushed, his voice cracking on every word. “You’re acting crazy, stop. I’m done with this,” You held up a hand but he didn’t even stop. “I loved you and this is what I get,”

I know I'm not the only one, I know I'm not the only one and I know...I know I'm not the only one

“We should get a divorce,” He finally did it.

i wanted this to just show a side of gally in an alternate universe. this shows a different side of him, being really fragile and yet trying to keep it calm and strong. to show that maybe this is what affected him before he was in the glade and how he doesn't trust girls in a way. aka jsut an au. in this au, he's probably in his late twenties. i'm sorry for doing this but this song has been stuck in my head for the whole week. i hope you guys liked it.
