What Have You Done? – Within Temptation feat. Keith Caputo

A songfic by Xavier

Author’s Note: This was just the beginning of my downfall with Chantal, my ex-fiancé. I still love her to death, but things got a lot worse really fast after this…

>>Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
Than to harm the one I love…<<

Cameron sat in the room with Chantal, looking out the window, a tear rolling down his cheek. He didn’t want to tell her what was on his mind because he knew it would hurt her… he wished that it was an easy choice, but of course it wasn’t. She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder.

“What’s wrong, honey?” she asked.

“I… I have to tell you something.”

>>What have you done now?<<

She backed away from him and sat in the chair opposite him.

“This can’t be good if you’re tearing up about it… what’s wrong?” she asked, a worried look in her face.

“I’m afraid that…. I haven’t been completely honest with you…” he sighed.

>>I know I’d better stop trying
You know that there’s no denying
I won’t show mercy on you now<<

She looked into his eyes, a firm but gentle look, and her voice got very stern.

“What have you done?” she asked.

“I know that I told you that my ‘player phase’ as you called it was over. I felt stupid doing what I did, flirting around and all that… and I’m truly sorry I hurt you. But… it didn’t completely end.” He started to cry again.

>>I know I should stop believing
I know that there’s no retrieving
It’s over now, what have you done?<<

“Cameron… have you been cheating on me?” Tears came to her eyes.

“Chantal…”

>>What have you done now?

I have been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why?
Why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us
Between me and you<<

“Not exactly…” he said kind of lamely.

“There’s no in between here, Cameron! Either you are or you aren’t! Which is it?” she yelled, hurt and upset.

He was taken aback by her fierceness, which only made it harder to tell her, made it hurt more.

“There was… one other girl I didn’t tell you about. I was a fool… confused, and I didn’t realize what I have with you…”

>>What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done Now?

What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done Now?

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
Cuz you have
Turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don’t feel
It’s over now, what have you done…<<

Chantal stood up and walked away from him, her hands in the back pockets of her jeans.

“I can’t believe you, Cameron… You’ve been lying to me for HOW long now? Months? You can’t do this to me; I won’t let you do this to me, to us! I love you, we’re getting married, and you’re doing this now?? No. It’s done, I’m done, and we’re DONE!”

“No, honey…. No…” Cameron stood up and walked up to his fiancé, standing behind her, putting his hands on her sides, then onto her stomach. “You know that I love you, and that I will never, NEVER, let you go. You’re my fiancé, the love of my life. We’ll get past this, and be stronger for it.”

>>What have you done now?

I have been waiting for someone like you
And now you are slipping away…
What have you done now?
Why?
Why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us
Between me and you

What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done Now?

What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done?
What Have You Done Now?<<

Chantal closed her eyes as Cameron kissed the back and side of her neck, and she grabbed his hands. She slid one inside of her jeans, and the other up to her breast.

“Cameron, I love you, and I want to spend eternity with you, but you need to be focused, committed to me. Stop fooling around and get serious!” To his dismay she moved his hands away. Then she turned to him and put his hands on her breasts. “No more lies.”

He looked softly into her deep blue eyes. “I swear, no more lies. I love you, Chantal.”

>>I will not fall
Won’t let it go
We will be free when it ends<<

The two of them kissed more passionately and moved toward the bed. She pushed him down and climbed on top of him, whispering in his ear how much she loved him. Her long blonde hair fell into his face, and he looked into her eyes again.

“I love you, my angel.” He said softly.

“I love you too, handsome.” She replied, smiling cutely.

And the rest is history…

>>I have been waiting for someone like you
And now you are slipping away…
What have you done now?
Why?
Why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us
Between me and you


I have been waiting for someone like you
And now you are slipping away…
What have you done now?
Why?
Why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us
Between me and you<<

This is how this argument ended, but it got bad again shortly after. In another few weeks it was over, and I was in a coma for 2 weeks after attempted suicide. It devastated me…
