Love Me or Leave Me sung by Little Mix
Requested by: Punzieboo

She couldn't help but cry as she sat on the edge of the bed. Everything was falling apart in front of her. For the past two months, they were going to bed angry, something they promised to never, ever do.

What happened? Eugene was always coming home late. No matter how many times she called him out on his lies, he would deny it. Why couldn't he just come clean? It was obvious that he was sneaking around, but yet he acted like it was all work.

Work. Did she forget to mention that he was fired four months ago? So where was he getting the money from? That was a question she didn't want to know. She didn't want to know if he was gambling or even stealing it.

She glanced her glossy green eyes up, looking at the picture of them on her dresser. That sick bastard. She gave her whole heart to him and yet he had the guts to smash it in front of her.

She stared at those gentle brown eyes that now made her stomach churn. Behind that gorgeous face was a liar. A liar that didn't care who he hurt as long as he got what he wanted. Well, she hoped he liked what he was getting now.

She stood up, anger coursing through her veins as she swiped all of their belongings off of the dresser, smashing it on the floor. The picture cracked, but she didn't care. She ripped off the bracelet he gave her and chucked it at her reflection. Why was she such a fool?

Why was she such a sucker for love? Why was she such a sucker for him? Before, he treated her like she was the best thing to ever happened to him, but now she just felt like she was one of his toys. She felt like she was nothing to him now.

She ran her fingers through her short brown hair. Tears were streaming down her face and her nose was running like crazy. She was a mess, and not a very hot one. She looked like she walked right out of her grave.

She looked at the dark circles under her dull green eyes. She hadn't slept well in the past  week. She knew she was losing him and she figured it was for the best, but she didn't want to let him go. She couldn't let him go. She plopped down on the bed, resting her head in her hands.

She had dug herself too deep. Her mother warned her that he was just going to use her, but she was too naive and still fell for him. His charming personality and stunning good looks had her locked in.

He was the one person who treated her like a human with choices. He was everything in her life. Losing him would be like losing herself. He molded her into the strong, independence woman she was today. Ironically, she didn't feel strong anymore.

She felt like crumbling into a little pile. She wanted to just disappear, disappear from the world. Besides, it wasn't like anyone would miss her anyways. The one person she loved didn't love her anymore. What was the point?

She heard the door open. Quickly, she sat up and looked at the clock. It was past 1 am. She was supposed to be asleep, instead, she was crying about him. She was drowning in her sorrow. "Rapunzel, what are you still doing up?" He asked, entering their bedroom.

She sniffed, looking at him. She could smell sex dripping off of him. He had a fresh love bite on his neck and his long locks were a tangled mess. Anyone could tell he wasn't at work. "I had a bad dream." She lied.

"I'm sorry, babe. I wish I could have been here to comfort you. Things got caught up in the office." He replied, ruffling down his hair. He used to hold her when her dreams were bad, but instead, he was off with another girl. Suddenly, she couldn't take it anymore. She had to know. She couldn't take his lies anymore.

"You weren't at the office! You were fired four months ago!" She shouted, standing up off of the bed. Eugene raised his hands in surrender, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Rap, baby, what are you talking about?" He questioned, looking her over.

"I can't believe you have the balls to lie to me right now! I know everything! I'm not stupid!" She cried out, not caring if she woke the neighbors. She had to let it out.

"Babe, look I-"

"You used to tell me that you love me. I haven't heard it in the past two months!" She fired back, cutting him off. He gently reach out to touch her shoulders. "Don't you remember when you loved me?"

"Of course, I love you. You know that, Rap," He replied, softly rubbing her shoulder. Tears began to blur her vision. "Where is all of this coming from?" He asked.

She glared up at him, brushing his hand off of her. She couldn't believe him. He was still acting like she was child. "Where is all of this coming from? Where is all of this coming from? Where do you think? I know you're cheating on me!"

"You're crazy." He denied, shaking his head, acting like there was nothing wrong.

"I'm not crazy! I know you're lying! You know I know! Why do you continue the act?" She exclaimed, staring up at him.

"I'm not keeping up an act, Rapunzel!" He shouted. "You know what, I'm going to bed."

"We used to never go to bed angry but it's all we do lately," she grumbled, glaring at him. He scoffed and turned away. He turned away just like he hated her. "Do you hate me?" She sobbed. She grabbed her shoulders, hugging herself as she hysterically cried to herself.

He stopped, looking at her with shock in his eyes. "Do you hate me?" She repeated louder as she fell to the floor. She felt weak. She felt like she couldn't take this anymore. "This isn't fair!"

"What?" He asked, his voice slightly shaking. He was starting to think she was having a panic attack, something he didn't mean to cause her.

"You can take my heart and heal it or break it all apart. I can't play your sick, twisted game anymore. My heart can't take it." She sniffed, wiping her eyes with her palm. He knelt down beside her, gently rubbing her shoulder.

"What have we become?" She softly asked, her hiccups echoing around the room. "I want to be the only one you need, the only one close enough to feel you breathe. I want to be the place you run to, not away from."

He looked down, unsure what to say. She really did know everything. For the past four months, she was bottling everything up. "Love me or leave me here. The choice is yours." She mumbled, looking into his brown eyes.
