"Say Something" A Great Big World Story conversion.


So... I'm a sucker for horrible and sad romance scenes. Pardon the slight depression lol, I will surely find another song to write to that is much more either action intense or romance intense. Please provide some feedback if something like this would be interesting enough for some people for me to continue with. Again not every one of these will be depressing lol I'm looking forward to getting into a romantic piece. Also some song suggestions would be awesome as well always looking to widen my song variety. I also used this song because it's been horribly stuck in my head forever and I'm hoping something like this will help get it out. It adds to the emotions to read the story while listening to the song.

Song: "Say Something" By: A Great Big World :)

"Say Something" A Big Great World, My short story version.

There I stood, the rain had been pouring down hard for several hours. Something about it ruined my body and my emotions could run rapid. I was waiting for him; the man who had broke my heart after the horrific emails I had found on his phone. At first I felt like I had betrayed him by not trusting him with his personal things, but the clues were all there the constant traveling -normally his work had him traveling at least four or five times a month-- but for some reason in the back of my head these last few had felt different. He almost seemed recharged after he returned and his sexual tension wasn't as high as it usually was. There were even a lack of romance and kisses and hugs from him that I just could no longer bear it. I choked thinking of the email I had read.

"Hey J, it was so wonderful to see you this week I had a wonderful time! I look forward to meeting you more and more often! ;)" That was the first email I found in his phone. A week later another email turned up from the same sender.

"Hey you, I miss you when do you come out again I can't wait to see you? <3 Brian." I felt my heart drop from the email; I kept quiet about it at first. I wasn't sure how to approach the situation to my lover. He was leaving the next day for a week

The week without him I had suffered and gone out with my other girls (Boys) at the local gay bar and drank and talked to keep myself from thinking of him. The Friday followed and he returned and the usual silence of passion was there. I let it go distracting myself with a show of mine on T.V until he went to bed and that was when I read the most horrific email any partner could get.

J... The week was incredible with you; I loved everything that we did together! Especially what went on behind the public scene. ;-). You really know how to make a man happy both physically and emotionally. I can't wait to hear from you again and see you! I miss you already I hope this doesn't sound too cliché but I really think you're the perfect person for me.

With lots of love from me. Brian!

That email tore my heart out and I couldn't wait any longer and when I confessed what I had found on his phone he flipped out and vanished yelling it was nothing before he stormed off.

I still stood here, under the porch of my house, the rain still pouring down. I didn't know what to do had I done something wrong in our relationship; did I please him the wrong way? I went down to every little thing that could have altered it. Did I attach to him too strong and push my way in without giving him a chance--We had been together for two years, it seemed more then plenty of time to move in together. Tears had begun to fall down my face.

His car was pulling forward, the lights briefly blinding as they parked in front of the garage door. There was tension again, he stayed in his car and I stood on the porch. I was starring right at him while he avoided my gaze and the only noise was the droplets of rain as they splashed across the ground. Off in the distance rumbles of thunder traveled across the night sky.

Finally he got out and approached the porch. "Hi." He said staring at me, soaking his fur in the rain.

"Hi." I sighed as all I wanted to do was just strangle the chubby bear. It was hurting now not to throw the conversation at him. As silence filled our conversation instead I was beginning to get frustrated and spoke. "... What's going on?"

"Can I step inside? I'm soaking wet."

"What's going on?" I said again, more tears streaming down my face.

"Please?" He cooed.

Even in all my rage I couldn't ignore him being cold or uncomfortable and nodded my head turning away and walking to the edge of the porch where splashes of rain sprinkled my face. I heard the screen door open behind me. "Jace... please... what's going on?"

"Let me change."

"Close the god damn door or I'm giving up on you!" I shouted in a cry. He listened this time and I turned to see him. "What's going on?"

"...Nothing sweetie."

"Don't call me that right now, Jace, what's going on, tell me the truth!" I asked for it, but I didn't want to hear it. It was evident enough that he was avoiding the truth.

He took a step closer. "I am telling you the truth!"

"Then what are those emails on your phone? Who is Brian?" My heart was pumping so much blood into my face I could feel the heat even in the rain my body was heating up under this hoodie and I could feel myself sweat.

"You went through my phone?"

"You've been acting different of course I went through your phone!"

He stood up tall and growled. "Oh I've been acting different; you've been going through my personal things, my phone! What else have you gotten into huh!?"

I pointed a harsh wolf finger at him. "Don't you dare try and spin this on me! You've been cheating on me and I know it Brian!" The hysterical sobs were coming now. "What did I do!? What have I wronged you to deserve something like this? If there's something that needs to be different then we can work it out! You don't just go off and find someone else to have sex with!"

"You haven't done anything... I just wanted a break."

"A break!? You don't take a break from a relationship that's been going on for two years Jace! That's not something you take a break from! You don't move in with someone and after two years say I'm sorry I just need a little break from this relationship and think that when you return every things going to be ok! I was so committed to you! If something's wrong we can work it out! If something needs to change we can talk!" I was barely holding back now.

He went hushed. "It's not something... it's someone."

I froze, I couldn't believe what I had just heard... Everything we had experienced together everything we had done together was being drowned inside. I had never heard something so hurtful come from him. My shoulders started to shake, the rivers down my cheek ran fast and I could do nothing but stand there and cry. He went inside and I fell down into the wet chairs behind me. I started to cry uncontrollably and my hands covered my face. I didn't know what to do anymore I was so confused about my life now, I was racing back to before I had met him what I would do being alone. How I would go about living my life.

The next thing I knew, I was inside the house, running through the closet and my wardrobe and throwing everything into a suit case, I didn't care that this was my house, I just wanted to get out. Jace was right behind me questioning what I was doing; I said nothing and continued to pack. He tried to stop me he pleaded for me to stay and that he wanted to work things out but I forced my way through the front door and walked out into the rain.

"Say something!" He shouted at me, I could hear some panic in his words as he realized what was going on.

I stood still and the harshest words came to me. I never would have imagined myself ever speaking something like this especially to the man I once loved.

"Say something!" He cried out again.

"...I'm giving up on you."
