"I'm sorry; we can't see each other anymore." Josh tucks his hands in his pockets. His eyes not daring to look up into Penelope's.
"I-I understand." Her eyes drop to the side and she pulls her arms across her chest.
"Can we still be friends?" Josh still doesn't look up at his now ex-girlfriend, but he can hear her soft sniffles.
"No," She breaths in, "I – I have to go. Goodbye, Josh." She reaches out and tugs on his hand light, which causes him to look up. She presses her lips to his cheek one last time before she turns and begins to leave the house. The house was almost spotless, thanks to Josh's OCD, but Aidan's messiness did shine on through. No house would ever compare to this one and no house would ever mean this much to Penelope ever again.
"Hey, Penny." Aidan pushes open the door, startling her. His smiles his same old small grin, but all Penny wants to do right now is frown. She walks right past him not saying a word, her eyes still glued to the ground. "Penelope?" He grabs her arm lightly and is shocked when she shakes from him grip.
"Goodbye, Aidan." She all but whispers as she rushes out the door. Aidan stands, bewildered.
"What's wrong with Penny?" He asks as Sally appears.
"Ask Josh." Sally says bitterly before any more questions could be asked.
"Hello? Yes, I'm Penelope Rose. I'd like to quit my job. Uh, personal reasons. Thank you. Yes, you have a good day too." Penelope closes her phone and pulls her knees to her chest. Tears spill from her eyes as she replays the conversation in her head. Everything was fine, perfect if you will, and then everything just wasn't. Even the bright apartment walls seem dull without Josh holding her in his arms.

"Josh, will you tell me what happened?" Aidan asks nonchalantly from the livening room as he peers over into the kitchen.
"No." Josh says flatly and turns his full attention to the food he's cooking.
"You're going to cook enough to fix world hunger." Aidan appears next to Josh. "What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it! Won't you and Little Miss Peeper Ghost just leave me alone?" Josh retorts and tries his best not to think about Penny.
"You know, none of this is protecting her." Aidan shakes his head, "None of this." He sighs and returns to his spot on the couch. He pulls out his laptop and opens up the chat room Penelope had set up for all three of them.

Aidan pushes away from his desk and smacks his hand down on the desk with a little more force then he expected. A large chunk of the wood desk now lays on the floor, wood shavings now decorated the newly vacuumed carpet.
