First of all, thank あなた guys for the wonderful comments! I am so glad, that あなた enjoy my fic. I hope this one won't be a disappointment either. "cross fingers" :) another chapter just for あなた ;)
After their fight nothing was the same between them. In front of others they acted as if nothing was wrong. But everybody could notice the difference. They never talked anymore. At least not to each other. They never sit together, never sought out the other. They just existed side によって side but never as one. They only interacted on camera. To an outsider everything would have seemed all right, but to the people around them it was strange at first, then alarming as time went によって but nothing changed.
As for them? They were slowly dying inside. Not that they would admit to anyone, especially to each other, または to themselves for that matter. Hugh became depressed again, nothing could cheer him up anymore. He functioned but wasn’t happy, not によって a long shot. He did his job, went to work early, left late at night, and went out of his way to avoid Lisa. No matter how much he longed for her company.
As for Lisa, the sparkle disappeared from her eyes, no もっと見る glow, no もっと見る smiles. She looked like she had been crying a lot lately, but if anyone dared to bring up the subject she would change the topic または just brushed it off as nothing. She started dating, ランダム men. Just for the sex really, if Hugh thought that about her then she saw no reason why she should act otherwise.
However, one day, she met Robert, who was a little like Hugh. Especially, with the married with children part. It was after their first encounter which led to sex, did she find out about his life and marriage, and she was ashamed. She wanted nothing to do with him, but he was persistent, not like Hugh she thought bitterly. He wanted her, no matter how she tried to tell him, that she is not interested. He 発言しました he would prove his 愛 for her, and 次 thing she knew he had left his family for her. She liked him, but it was never about love, at least not for her, but after this step, she just went with it, which maybe wasn’t too fair with him, but she thought maybe one 日 she would fall in 愛 again. That is if that annoying, handsome, lovable, idiotic man would just release her heart.
And soon, too soon, the seventh season came to an end, and it meant an end for the 表示する as well. Everybody was sad, but Lisa and Hugh were devastated knowing, if the 表示する was over they would never see each other again.
After the golden globes, which they won によって the way, they went to a party. She went with Robert, and he went alone.
- Hey Hugh. – 発言しました Robert Sean Leonard handing a ビール to his costar.
- Hey – greeted Hugh with a small smile.
- What’s up? Enjoying the party?
- Well あなた know I am not a party face but I try, as it is our last party together. – he 発言しました with a sad expression.
- Yeah. It’s so strange. The last years were great. It will be hard to break the routine, coming here, working… あなた know.
- Yeah, I know what あなた mean. - he looked over at Lisa with a 発言しました expression on his face, which did not go unnoticed によって Robert.
- You two still don’t talk? – he 発言しました innocently, as if he didn’t know the answer already.
- We talk. Just…- Hugh left the sentence at that. Drinking the whole ビール with a large gulp.
- Not to each other? - Robert filled in smartly, which earned him a frown.
- I think I am going home.- Hugh 発言しました at last.
- What? So soon? Why? It’s our last party. Stay a little longer. Come on, I’ll buy あなた another drink.
- They are free.- 発言しました Hugh with a raised eyebrow.
- Well, I know, but I would buy あなた one, if they weren’t.- Robert 発言しました shrugging his shoulders.
- Okay. Just one drink.- he 発言しました while looking around and spotting Lisa dancing and laughing with his boy toy.
- Beer?
- Nah. I think I need something stronger than that- he said, taking his eyes off the pair, and marching ahead of Robert, who looked in the direction his friend just had, and shook his head at them, finally following Hugh to the bar.
As the night went によって Lisa was もっと見る and もっと見る uncomfortable. At first with Hugh being there and looking so sad and handsome at the same time, and then with Robert breathing over her shoulder all night. She couldn’t talk to anyone without him being there. She knew that she was the one who brought him along, but seriously, she thought he would be a little もっと見る self- sufficient. Obviously, she thought wrong. And the dance…. She was もっと見る than annoyed during their dance when he couldn’t keep his hands to himself, and continuously tried to キッス her. She didn’t know why this annoyed her so much, but it did, however, she refused the idea of Hugh. She was tired and cranky, and just wanted to go ホーム alone, which wasn’t really an option, but going ホーム with Robert was still better than having him here with her, it was a logic, she didn’t really understand herself. So with that thought in mind, she turned to Robert.
- Hey Rob- she called him Rob, honey または darling didn’t fit for her- I think I am ready to call it a night. What do あなた say? Can we go?- asked Lisa looking expectantly at him.
- Oh... yes of course, if あなた want to go home, then sure. I can think of better things to do at ホーム anyway.- he 発言しました smiling broadly, and wiggling his eyebrows at her. She groaned to herself, thinking it was the last thing she wanted to do, but put a smile on her face and turned to the others to say goodbye with Robert following her closely.
によって the time she reached Hugh and Robert, she was nervous as hell. She had no idea what came over her, but suddenly she didn’t want to leave, または at least didn’t want to say goodnight, because in her and Hugh’s case it would mean goodbye. However, she put on a メリダとおそろしの森 face and went over to them.
- Hey guys- she greeted as cheerfully as she could manage.
- Lisa, Robert- 発言しました Robert a little bit surprised at her appearance at their side.
- Hey- 発言しました Hugh, while trying not to stare at Lisa’s beautiful body.
- Hugh, Robert – Robert greeted oblivious to their awkwardness.
- Um… we just wanted to say good night, because we are leaving.- 発言しました Lisa hurriedly not wanting to spend anymore time than necessary with them, または rather Robert spending もっと見る time with Hugh. To her luck, Robert engaged her boyfriend in a conversation, and she was free to talk to Hugh alone for a moment. または to her misfortune, she couldn’t quite decide.
- So…- 発言しました Hugh, trying to fill the awkward silence.
- Um… あなた going back to ロンドン this week?- 発言しました Lisa trying to steer the conversation to 安全, 安全です territory.
- Yes, actually I am flying back tomorrow morning. I’ve just told Robert that it was time for me to go, if I want to be able to get up.- 発言しました Hugh, while not resisting the urge to look her up and down this time. Seeing that Lisa blushed, then became angry at herself for letting him influence her this way, and she was angry at him for looking at her like that. Like she still mattered to him, like he cared about her, maybe even longed for her. But no that’s not the case obviously, so she just shook her head trying to get rid of these traitorous thoughts.
- Well then, have a good flight tomorrow and take care of yourself. I guess I will see あなた around?- she asked and was even angrier at herself for sounding so hopeful.
- Actually… yes I guess I will see あなた around.- he 発言しました at last, while knowing all that well that the moment she went out the door he would never see her again. He is not going to come back to LA. There is no reason. She is never going to be his, and he have to make things right with his wife, he owed it to her, and to himself, if he is not going to take that chance at happiness with Lisa. She knew as well that he lied. They both knew the unspoken truth. This was it. The time for goodbye.
- Then good night I guess- she 発言しました instead. Still not been able to bring herself to say goodbye. At least not just yet.
- Good night Lise.- Hugh said, smiling at her sadly.
- Robert, good night to あなた too- she said, after realizing that they were no longer talking but watching her and Hugh.
- Good night.- he 発言しました with a frown on his face, knowing that they are making a horrible mistake.
- Night- 発言しました Robert at last.
And with that they turned around, and made their way to the door. Lisa looked back one last time, catching Hugh’s eyes and holding eye contact for a moment. Then with a sad smile nodded and walked out the door, and his life...
