AN: Hey guys so this is the Sequel to You're Not Alone! You may be a little lost so I suggest you read that first if you haven't already! Also in this story, May and Ward did NOT sleep together! I was so mad when that happened. My family thought I was crazy because I flipped pout! Ha-ha. Hope you like! Let me know what you think!
It's been 2 months since the breakdown. 2 months of nightmares. 2 months of insomnia.
Finally the team made him get medication for it. Made him get medication for insomnia. That's when he realized he had people who cared. He had people who don't care that he suffers from insomnia or gets nightmares or isn't perfect. He has a family and he's finally realizing it.
He has a sister, Simmons, who is crazy smart and is always worrying about him like no one ever did. Especially lately.
He has a brother, Fitz, who he can have bro talks with and be best friends with. Fitz and him could be partners in crime. He never had that before.
He has a dad, Coulson, who doesn't beat him and call him names. He has a father who he can go to at anytime with anything.
He has a mother, May, who seems to care. You can see it in her eyes. She tried to help him at times of need. She's still there.
Then there's Skye, who he doesn't see as a sister, cousin, anything except for the girl he loves. The girl who got to him when he had his breakdown. The girl who is by his side every nightmare filled night. She can hear his scream all the way from down the hall. One time she slept on the floor because it was so bad.
Ward knew what he had to do. He had yet to do it. He had yet to say thank and to tell her how he feels.
It was 2 in the morning and it was yet another sleepless night. He didn't take his medication. He hates it. It makes him feel weak sometimes.
He got up to get a drink of water, but when he got to the kitchen he heard crying and punching. It was coming from beneath him.
He went to the balcony and saw Skye hitting the punching bag furiously and balling her eyes out. Her knuckles were raw and filled with blood. She didn't wrap her hands. Ward knew that he should go down there and figure out what's wrong and at least try to calm her down.
"Skye!" Ward yelled, "You need to stop!" He ran over to the bag and tried to stop her, but almost got hit in the face. She just kept on hitting the bag. He grabbed it this time.
"HEY!" Skye yelled and tried to move Ward, but he just grabbed her and held her. She hit him hard in the chest trying to get away but it didn't work. She gave up after awhile and just went limp in his arms.
She started to fall down and he went down with her. She was curled up in a ball in his arms. She was shaking ferociously and wouldn't stop.
"Hey Skye? Come on look at me." Ward tried, "Skye come on."
She looked up at him, "What?"
"Why are you crying?"
She sighed, "Had a nightmare about St. Agnes and my past."
"Look it was just a nightmare. It's not real."
She nodded.
"Let's get you cleaned up, Okay? Then you can stay with me tonight."
She gave him a look.
"I'm not letting you sleep alone. And there's no negotiating it." He stated and got up to get the first aid kit.
Little did they know is that Coulson and May were standing on the balcony watching and listening to them.
"I bet 20 they'll be together in the next month." Coulson said.
"Deal." May smiled and shook his hand.
Back in the training area, Ward was patching up Skye's hands.
"So I never said thank you." He said.
"For what?" Skye sniffled as she asked.
"The night I had my breakdown. You came and were the only one that was able to get to me."
"Well you're welcome." Skye smiled.
Ward smiled back, "There you go. All patched up."
"Thanks." Skye said looking at her hands.
Ward walked back from putting the kit away and held out his hands for her to grab.
"Come on. Let's get you to bed." Skye took his hands.
When they got back to Ward's bunk, they laid down and Skye was almost asleep when she heard, "I love you." in her ear. She smiled and snuggled closer to Ward.
