Summary: Secrets abound as Skye reluctantly returns to Australia at AJ's behest despite the fact it's where her marriage to Jax ended in disaster the previous year. AU. Skye/Jax. SAX.
Author's Note: I am reposting some of the older works that I have saved on my harddrive. Old-time SAX fans may remember this story. It was originally posted under my other penname [MuseofJaynor] at the Skye messageboard fan fiction archive. Many people already know this, but in case you were wondering, yeah, that was me.
"Once there was darkness, but in your arms, I am surrounded by light. Safety, happiness, love overwhelmed me. And then I woke up from such a beautiful dream and realized that the only truth could be found hidden in the shadows of what once was and may never be again-"
Skye Chandler put the pen down on her journal. Every so often she would play with lines like these. From the depths of her heart, from the one place where raw emotion flowed from her soul, pure and untouched, the words came. Syrupy, yes. Drippy, yes. Meant for anyone's eyes but hers, definitely not. But, still, they brought her comfort in a time when comfort was rare.
Shaking slightly, Skye looked at the watch on her arm.
"Almost there," Skye whispered to herself. "Almost-"
She interrupted herself. She had almost said 'home.' But she didn't have a home. She had never had a home. She had come close… once. Once not so long ago with HIM, but that was over and done with.
His last words were echoing through her mind. "You broke what I didn't think could be broken, Skye. God, how could you? How could you do this to me? To us? To yourself? My god..."
He had never finished his sentence. She had turned from him, despite the constant times he had begged her not to run, and had fled the room as tears streamed down her eyes so much that she could barely see through the mist of salty rivulets of moisture.
"So, I ran. Big deal. What else could I honestly do?" Skye muttered to herself as she continued to shake. One final thud told her the plane had landed.
And although Skye Chandler-Quartermaine was the one who had entered the plane, it was simply Skye Chandler who exited.
