We Out

"I'm not doing anything anyway." he said. "You guys could stay as long as you want."

"Yeah but still." She said. "It wouldn't be.. you know, right."

He nodded...even though he didn't really get what she meant. "I guess." he said. "I'll...let you be then."

"Are you gonna miss me?" She asked suddenly.

"Of course I will.' he said without having to think about it.

She sighed and looked at him, crossing her arms. "Maybe if you would have said that before today, these boxes wouldn't be on the truck right now." she sighed and headed into the house.

There were times in which Punk wanted to choke Lacy, but he would continue to refrain from doing so. "Then maybe you shouldn't have acted so quickly to run out of here." he told her.

"I didn't run." She said. "Is that what you think I'm doing?"

"Sometimes I feel like you are. Like if you're running to leave me so quickly." he said. "And I don't mean it in a bad way, I'm not trying to start a fight with you, but that's how I feel."

"How do you not mean that in a bad way?" She asked. "I told you why I'm doing this."

He just shook his head. "Forget it, I don't know what I'm saying anymore." he told her.

"Phil, part of the reason why this is happening in the first place is because we're not being honest with each other. So just say what you need to say, no filters."

"I already said what I have to say."

"So basically, you just think that I'm running away."

"From me because you're sick of being around me." he told her. "But, I do get it....we need time apart to think things over and just...work on bettering ourselves."

She shook her head. "You don't get it... you just don't get it." she said as she went inside to grab some more boxes.

"So help me get it." he told her.

She sighed. "We haven't been getting along, the only time we do is when we're in bed together. I got so fed up with you that I seriously considered going to another man. You pretend like everything is peachy keen when it's not. That's what you don't get."

He listened to everything she said and honestly, he didn't even realize anything was wrong with them. "I-I didn't even realize things were so bad."

"We both need some space to just.. think." she nodded a little and wiped at her eyes before her tears started to fall.

He sighed a bit and nodded. "Yeah. I hope it really does some good." he said.

"Yeah.. me too." She sniffled before going in the house. They're screwed.

Punk would just...stay clear of Lacy for the rest of the day or whatever.

This was the home that Lacy and the kids had moved into. She made sure that Punk was able to see the kids whenever he wanted to. Today he was coming over to spend time with the kids.

"I think Daddy's here!" Ally giggled as she stared out of the window.

Punk had just finished getting a hair cut (UNF, I just love his buzz cut) and headed over to see the kids. It had been a couple of weeks since Lacy left, but he was doing okay for now. Heading up to the front door, he waved at Ally as he saw her at the window and then rang the doorbell, waiting for them to open the door.
