Title: "Out Of The Blue"

Summary: It's over.
Disclaimer: Dammit, I still don't own them. Who can I speak to about that??
A/N: I wanted to call this "(Not) Gettting Along Famously," but that's probably cutting it too close, eh? Anywho...

It came without warning.
"I'm sorry. I can't live like this anymore. I'm leaving you."
My eyes filled with tears as I felt my heart shatter. "What? Why?? What's wrong??"
"I'm in love with someone else."
My mind reeled, first with shock, then sudden anger. "Who? Wait, don't even tell me you're still in love with... I thought that was over years ago. I thought you'd just decided to remain friends!"
"We had, but our feelings have only grown over the years. From the first time we met and worked together, we felt a chemistry between us, and we're tired of fighting it. Of trying to remain just friends."
Desperate to hang on to the man I loved, I struggled to find the words to make him stay. "But you can't leave! We have a life together now! We have a son! Are you telling me you're willing to just throw it all away?"
"Please, listen to me. I love our son, and I'm sorry for the pain I know I'm causing you. I just--I can't live like this anymore. I can't live in a lie anymore. I'm sorry. I just can't."
Helpless now, to stop it, I made one last attempt."But, I love you, Colin---"
"No buts. There's nothing you can say to change my mind. I'm leaving you, Ryan."
"I'm marrying Deb."
