They went in together. They were shot together. They were dying together. Now Simmons had to make a choice. Skye or Fitz. She cursed Quinn for making her choose. For hurting the people she though of as friends. She knew the team would pick Skye purley because she was younger and had a better chance at sirvival but who would be there for her partner?, no one. She thought back to when Skye told her if she ever had to choose between her or any other memeber of the team that she had to choose the other person. Had Skye known this would happen had she known that she would eventually die. If she did then Simmeons would throttle the younger agent.
Turning around she told the team to put Fitz in in the antibaric chamber and get Skye to a hospital as soon as possible. Once at the hospital she saw how the doctors look worried, more for Skye than FItz which was understandable as Skye was shot through her heart and adomen yet Fitz was shot in the stomach. She really wished she could of taken their place, felt their pain. Yet she couldn't so she prayed for the best.
It was two weeks later Fitz woke up during the time the team was looking for the GH-25 drug that could quite possibly be Skye's only chance of survival. Maybe Simmons could repay her sins and save her best friend. When injected Skye had a reaction and spent days in a fever ridden state with Simmons unable to knew only Fitz would be able to help her when she woke up as he was shot too but the question is of when she would wake up. It took three weeks for the young hacker to wake up but she was still in pain. More mental than physical. Nightmares plauged her dreams as did it with Fitz. Yet none of them dreamt about being shot but rather not being able to save the other. One night Skye's nightmares got too much as she took comfort in Leo.
Simmons must admit she was jeleous as she seemed to loose her best friend to the young hacker yet she said nothing. Nobody but Simmons knew of the two locking themselves in a dark abandoned cubourd doing god knows what. In the last few months Skye seemed to be slower and tired a lot more. Most people thought the nightmares had come back and she had been lacking sleep. The outcome was worse, much worse. Skye was dying. This time they couldn't save her, there was no miricle drug. On the one year anerversary of the pair being shot, Skye passed on. That night Simmons found a letter under her pillow.
Dear Simmons,
I guess if your reading this I am dead. I know these past few months people have realised the change in me. I've been dying for a while. Shocker right?!. Anywho before you ask I need to tell you what me and Fitz have been doing in our late night escapades. I know you thought we were probably as you say hooking up but what we were actually doing was finding a cure to stop the deteriation of ones self and trying to get FitzSimmons to be official, he likes you I just need to clarify that. I'm sorry Jem, sorry you had to choose between us but I will ALWAYS be glad you choose Fitz. I never told you but your my sis and he's my bro which make you two feel like totally wrong but I suppose I'll live with it. I guess I needed to say bye so bye my dear how you say bio chemist and i hope you live long and prosper.
love skye.
Simmons cried herself to sleep that night but she cried out of sheer awe she had for her young hacker friend named Skye.
