I love him, but every day I'm learning That all my life I've only been pretending Without me, his world would go on turning A life full of happiness That I have never known I love him, but only on my own
-Eponine, Les Miserables Note: sorry if some of the words are incorrect The poem is at home, I had to type this by memory :)
Natalie realized, through looking at that picture, that Nick had never loved her. That's all she'd ever wanted - him to except her for her. Him to love her and need her with everything in him... the way she did for him. Through everything that he'd done to her - all the mental, and even sometimes physical, abuse - she still loved him so much. But this picture... this picture only provided further proof of his hatred and spite for her. He was cheating on her. That's all the picture could mean... right? There was nothing that she hated more than the feeling of betrayal.
Her eyes flared.
Oh, she'd show him.
Don't you know that you're my reason, For my love, my life, my being So secure and so so sure? My heart would surely die without you I try to swallow my pride, But I feel my heart start to tremble inside Wish I didn't know, 'cause I can't let you go Tell me why...
Why when I looked in your eyes, baby I felt the trust start to die Why oh why, yeah When I still love you it's so hard to say goodbye
Mmmm, yeah. Oh!
How can you tell me it was nothing? 'Cause you took away everything I dreamed, In just a night And I held you so tight When you know you were sleeping in my bed I tried to swallow my pride, But I feel my heart start to tremble inside Wish I didn't know, 'cause I can't let you go Tell me why...
Why when I looked in your eyes, baby I felt my heart start to cry, cry cry Why oh why... ...Why oh why Why when I looked in your eyes, baby 'Cause I felt the trust start to die Ooh, why oh why When I still love you it's so hard to say goodbye
Ohh... Oohh... Hey, hey, hey! Why oh why Baby, yeah
Should I quietly leave through the door? Or maybe pretend the way things were once before, When I met you I'll never forget you, so why why why
Why when I looked in your eyes I felt the trust start to die, Ooh, why oh why, baby why When I still love you it's so hard to say goodbye
Why, why did you lie Oohhh Why did you lie to me? Why did, why did you lie to me? Oh! Heyyy... Baby! Oohh...
Why did you lie, Why why did ya did ya lie? Ooh ooh! BaBaBaBa Ba Ba Why oh why, why oh why Why did you, did you lie?

Natalie walked into the den, where Nick sat, watching TV. He'd just managed to anger her, hurt her feelings, and depress her, only 20 minutes before, and he sat watching TV? Nat walked over to the television set and flicked it off.
Nick sighed impatiently, looking up towards her, "Turn it back on."
"No."
"What do you want, Natalie?"
"I want you to listen to me! For once! Is that so much to ask for?!"
"Go ahead then: talk."
"Why are you being so d*mn calm? It's f*cking annoying!"
"What do you want me to do?! Yell?! Scream?!?! 'CAUSE I CAN DO THAT, YOU KNOW!!"
"Well, at least it'd be more characteristic! D*mn you, Nick, I know you're cheating on me! D*mn you!! Why couldn't you have just divorced me if you no longer loved me?! Or did you ever?! Why did you have to CHEAT on me?! That is so humiliating, Nick!" by now tears were coursing down her face, though she didn't know if they were of anger or hurt. "I'm leaving."
"What?"
"I'm gonna LEAVE, Nick."
"Yeah right. I'm not even cheating on you, Natalie. God, you're so melodramatic."
"Yeah, I'm s'posed to believe you're not cheating on me? You drew a picture of you and her!"
Nick rolled his eyes, "That wasn't me. Just 'cause he has blonde hair, he's automatically me??"
Natalie's nostrils flared... yeah, like she was going to believe THAT! She walked from the room, without saying further, and went to their bedroom.
Oh, she'd get even. She'd make him pay... All of the pain that he'd inflicted on her, he soon would feel.
Oh, she'd make him pay.
Treat her like a lady...
...All the girl could want was a li'l attention From the man who's strong, and not to mention, Kiss and caressin' her all night long...
...You're gonna get what's comin' to you For all the bad bad things you do to your lady
Treat her like a lady You'll make a good girl crazy If you don't treat her like a lady Lady, treat her like a lady You'll make a good girl crazy If you don't treat her like a lady...
...Ohhh, baby Treat her like a lady Baby! Treat her like a lady Baby! Treat her like a lady Ohhh... woo!...
...Tell it to her straight, She can take the truth Don't lead her on and on And leave her confused Anyone would rather be alone Then be used
Don't sit and think you'll hurt her feelings She only wants to know just what the deal is Next time beware of who's heart you're breaking
You're gonna get what's comin' to you For all the bad bad things you do to your lady...
