Skye angrily threw her stuff into a duffel bag. She was going to leave, and this time she wasn't going to be talked into staying. It had been six months since her betrayal and almost the entire team had forgiven her…. Almost. Ward still hated her guts and avoided her at all costs. If she was being truthful, he the reason she was leaving. It was the constant bitter comments and the glares. She would never understand why he couldn't forgive her like the others had, and that was what hurt the most. And she hated herself for hurting him because just maybe she felt the smallest inkling of something towards him.
A voice, his voice, brought her out of her thoughts. "What are you doing?" He asked sharpness in his voice.
"Why do you care?" She spat out, not looking at him.
After a few brief moments, he cautiously replies, his warm breath on her neck, "Skye….." dragging out her name.
When did he get so close? She thinks, startled by his sudden closeness, before saying, "I mean it's clear that you don't care at me. All you do is glare and avoid me. Besides why would you care about me…?" She rambles, a nervous habit she picked up one of her foster mothers. Her name was Maryanne. Skye thinks.
"What are you doing?" he repeats, the sharpness in his voice gone, and if Skye was looking at him she would of noticed the sadness that filled his eyes as he talked.
"I mean it's not anything new, no one cares about. That's way its better that I leave before I get hurt, but it's a little too late for that." She continues, not even registering his question.
"What do you mean?" He asks, panic causing throw him as one thought passes through his mind She wouldn't just leave would she?
"I don't know why anyone would care about me? I mean nobody wants me, so why would they care about me?"
"We want you here, Skye." He whispers.
She turns around, only to be faced with a blank space of nothingness. A frown crosses her previously emotionless face, at the realization that he wasn't really there. That his was just a illusion, caused by her lack of sleep. That no one really cared about her. She wipes a single tear from her eye, before walking out of her bunk and towards the exit, not noticing ward sitting against the wall, a deep sadness in his eyes.
