A/N: Wow thank you all for the positive reactions!! The muse had left me for a while, but has now returned (with force, expect like three stories today.)

:)

"I'm not the only one." Flack finally said in what seemed no louder than a whisper. It was just loud enough to get her attention.

Angell turned around. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me." he started to step towards her. "You might not be running away, but you're sure as hell not the most open person in the world Jess." Don was now standing face to face with her.

"What's that supp..." she tried to interject, but he cut her off.

"Why didn't you tell me abut Diakos?" he challenged, crossing his arms over his chest. She was all to eager to accept.

"It wasn't any of your business!" Jess saw the visible change in his face as soon as she spoke those words.

"No, Jess, as your partner, and furthermore as your boyfriend, I have the right to know!" his voice was creeping towards a yell.

"Why?"

"Because I fucking love you and don't want you go get hurt damn it!" Don could see her face soften, but something needed to be said. "I know your mother died when you were ten, and since then you close yourself off as some sort of defense mechanism, but I'm not running away. You're pushing me!" he finished with a huff of his breath.

The duo stood in silence for a few minutes collecting their thoughts until one had to ask the fateful question; "So what now?"

A/N: Now prepare to wait another couple months for the conclusion :) just kidding. I think this might be a three shot, or I can just leave it hear. I don't know. You tell me! Review please!
