Jemma sighs loudly after reading Skye's last message. She is not sure that coming to see Skye is such a good idea, but she has agreed on meeting her. Jemma herself had agreed with Skye to remain friends because they understand each other. Way back before they dated, they were great friends and almost everybody was jealous of their friendship. Skye asked her to still keep their friendship no matter what happened in the past, because Skye said that "losing a girlfriend hurts so much, and I can't afford to lose a best friend too". Jemma then just shrugged and forced a smile saying that they will keep in touch. Even though both Jemma and Skye know that it is just some lame ass bullshit that they can still remain friends after what they had been through, they are trying their best to keep their promises. Jemma needs to keep her promise to Skye, no matter how hurt she will be she decided to see Skye.

Jemma hung her lab coat before exiting her lab, and then she takes a quick shower that is one of the facilities she got from her lab. She checks herself in the mirror one last time, and tells herself that everything will be okay. They are just two friends catching up on what happened since they had stop living together. There is no point of being nervous, she should feel comfortable with Skye, and they had spent almost two-thirds of their life together. But why is Jemma feeling that she is meeting a stranger? As her trains of thoughts are running insider her mind, Jemma finds herself outside Starbucks. She goes inside and orders her Chai Latte and Café Latte for Skye with extra shot of espresso. She remembers the time when Skye noticed that Jemma forgot to order the latte with extra shot. Skye was not able to stay awake to do her assignment, so as a substitute for the weak latte, Skye demanded Jemma to stay with her until she finished her works. And they turned up curled up to each other the next morning with Skye's laptop abandoned. Jemma smiled at the bittersweet memory. She regrets everything since the day they broke up and Jemma was punishing herself because of that now. Jemma remembered that day clearly.

It was raining hard outside and Skye were typing in her laptop, making new programs for her work. Jemma was in a rush, packing her bag then she went out of her room.

"Darling! Don't wait up for me, okay? I'm gonna come home late," she said as she fumbled through her things to find her key.

"Where are you going Jems?" Skye frowned at her.

"I need to continue my research, I almost got to something just before and I need to continue it now," I explained as I made sure I did not leave any important documents.

"What day is it Jemma?" Skye asked with a stern voice.

Still not realizing the change of voice in Skye's voice, Jemma answered, "Why, it's Friday of course, you silly,"

"And what date is today?" Skye stood up and walked toward her.

"Uh, why do you keep asking me dates or days? Check the calendar," Jemma replied, still focusing on her papers that she needed to bring.

Then Skye slammed her hand at the table, turning Jemma's attention to her.

"What's wrong Skye?"

"You still asked what's wrong?"

"I am asking you that mean I did not know what's wrong"

"It's our anniversary today and I had reserved a place in Carter's for dinner,"

"Oh God, I'm so sorry, I lost track of time, can I take a rain check?"

"Whatever, Jemma. This is not the first time you did this, why can't you spare your time just for a while with me? We barely speak anymore, even if we are in the same room, you are focusing on all of your research. I bet you did not even realize when I told you that we will be going to dinner today,"

"Can't you please understand me Skye? I'm working on a deadline; you can't be selfish like this. We can have dinner some other time, what's the harm in it?"

"God, I can't believe it. Seriously, you just care about the stupid dinner? And you really put all of your works as your priority? Wow Jemma. I know you care about your works but I did not think that you will care about them more than you care about me," Skye chokes as she spits out the words.

"I care about you Skye, but can we just forget it—"

"Save it, Jemma. How about I'm gonna leave you and your research in peace, I won't bother you anymore. This is not the first time you did this; I lost count on how many times you put on a rain check on everything. I just hope that you appreciate our third anniversary, but I guess your works are a lot more important than me," Skye's tears streamed down her face as she continues, "I need a break Jemma, we need a break,"

"No, Skye. Don't say that," Jemma tried her best to hold her tears but she felt the tears escaping her eyes.

"What am I supposed to say Jemma? I guess this is for the best," Skye walked into our room and she started packing her bags, putting everything she can fit into her big duffel bag.

Jemma hold Skye's hand, hoping that Skye would listen, "Skye, please don't. We can't fix it, I love you so much, and I care about you, but—"

"See, you love me and care about me but your works will always be there and you will of course, put them first," Skye said bitterly, stuffing her clothes.

"Don't do that to me, Skye. Please," Jemma begged Skye, crying.

"I'm sorry Jemma, we need this, promise me, we will still be friends after this. I can't afford to lose a great best friend. Letting go of a beautiful girlfriend like you already broke my heart, so can we please just—" Skye stopped halfway her sentenced and exhaled loudly, holding back her sobs.

"I,I—does it mean that this is over?" Jemma bites her lips to keep her from sobbing uncontrollably.

"Yes, but I will always love you, I just can't picture a future with you prioritizing your works over me," Skye answered, wiping Jemma's tears and she held Jemma's cheek, kissing her slowly. The kiss was salty cause tears are streaming down their faces and it was a goodbye, Jemma felt a part of her are taken away by the kiss. She watched Skye leave their apartment and cried herself to sleep. She should have known better than this, but it's too late to even fix it.

"Hey you!" Jemma felt a hand on her shoulder, as she turns around she already knows who it is and she smiles. How she misses that smile. Skye then hugged her and Jemma breathes the scent she was missing all this time.

"Skye! Here's your latte," Jemma's first response after the hug was that statement. She berated herself mentally when she realized her very weird response to Skye.

"Ah thank you, wow. You still remember my favorite," Skye beams.

"Of course, and I did not forget the extra espresso shots," Jemma adds proudly. And why in the bloody hell she is so proud like when she got summa cum laude in both of her master's degree in the same time?

As they sipped into their drinks, conversations are flowing between them, and it is true that nothing is awkward. They are talking just like how they used to before they are dating and Jemma is content on how it goes.

"By the way Jems, I wanted your help on something,"

"Sure, what do you want?"

"Umm, I kinda met this cute guy, heis a doctor in Afterlife Hospital, I accidentally bumped on him when I was accompanying Bobbi to her weekly therapy. I was so sleepy then when I was about to get coffee, I bumped on somebody and I was grumpy about it. When I looked up, turns out I bumped on a doctor, and he is cute, standing in front of me with his blue scrubs, smiling at me. I just apologized and went away because I was embarrassed. I really want to ask him out, but I don't know how. It's stupid right if I fell on my own head and admit myself to the E.R. ?"

Jemma is not happy with where the conversation is going, she starts to feel something lurking beneath her when Skye just mentioned the words "cute guy". And now she was asking Jemma an advice on asking him out? Is she kidding? Skye should have remembered that Jemma was an awful flirt and why in the bloody hell should Skye asked her?

"Yes Skye, you should do that, you should bump your head as hard as you can to the wall. Then you can drive to the E.R. and asks for a cute doctor with amazing smile in blue scrubs. Piece of cake right?!" Jemma snapped, she slammed her coffee cup on the table.

Jemma gets up from her table and briskly exit Starbucks. She felt like crap. What is wrong with Skye? Why does she have to pour salt into the wounds that is not even healed yet? Jemma wiped her tears from her eyes. She just walks and walks, holding her tears, then she heard Skye calling her name.

"Jemma! Jems! Jemma, please! Hear me out!" Skye's voice is faintly heard. Jemma just looks at her with an empty eyes and let Skye approaches her. As Skye gets near her, she says, "I thought you would understand, cause we're just friends right? That's what best friends do, asking each other for advice right?"

Jemma thinks that Skye's explanation would at least be decent or what, but she was just defending herself. And it made Jemma furious, thinking that Skye had finds another person while she was still regretting her every decision and punishing herself for it every day. With every ounce of anger left in her, Jemma glares at Skye, piercing Skye with her eyes as Jemma says, "Just sod off! I don't need you hurting me again!"

Okayy, so what do you guys think? What will happen between Jemma and Skye?
