Hi everyone! I'm back in front of my PC. It's been a week and I'm almost driven insane here. Our cable server is airing replays of MX. I was really hoping to finally view the second season but much to my dismay… *sighed*

I'm starting to wish that I'm not here in the Philippines so I could watch the MX show in sync with all of you. I'd like to thank the Vamp Diva for inspiring me. I always login her site (Unspoken Words) everyday. I fell in love with Brennan and Emma from her site.

I'm really sorry for posting dramatic stories…what could I say? I'm a sucker for complications. Again, I would like to ask for your consideration with my grammar. English is not my mother tongue.

Please note that ***this*** indicates memories and flashbacks Here's the second chapter. Enjoy.

*I'm Sorry*



Chapter 2



"How do you do it?" Emma asked Jesse as they reached her room. Jesse escorted her until they reached her bed.

"Do what?" Jesse asked back as she let Emma settle on her bed.

"How could you take it? You're losing Shalimar forever." Emma searched for Jesse's blue-gray eyes, willing him to look back at her.

Jesse smiled back, sighed and answered, "Sometimes, knowing that she'll be happy with him is all that maters."

Emma's eyes fell on the ground and she let out a heavy breath. Yes, Brennan would be happy with Shalimar. That is all that matters now… but why does it still hurts? She forced a smile and thanked Jesse for bringing her there. "Thanks Jess. I'll be fine now."

"Al rightie…" he grinned "I'll be going now. Would you like me to bring you breakfast in bed?"

"No, no. I'll be fine. I'll stay here for awhile and maybe I'll be back on my feet this noon." She pulled away a lock of her hair away from her face and smiled at Jesse.

"Okay then. I'll leave you here." He smiled and gave her a light peck on her cheeks.

Emma waited as Jesse closed the door behind him. Now she's alone in her room…alone… ~alone ~ the word rang in her ears. ~I'm alone now. ~ she could virtually see Brennan smiling beside Shalimar. He looked so happy with her. Emma bit her lips as memories came rushing back to her.

********

***She and Brennan used to be a very happy couple. They both decided not to tell anyone about them until they're sure of the stability of their relationship. At first, Brennan didn't really agreed. He wanted to tell the world about him and Emma. He told her that they should be proud of what they both have but Emma insisted in keeping it a secret. She told him that it is to save the others from the pain and worries incase 'they' didn't work. A day after, Brennan finally agreed to keep the affair between themselves.



Every night, Brennan would tiptoe out of his room to see Emma and he would retreat in his small confinement before dawn. Sometimes, they would skip a night or two, afraid that Shalimar might catch them while the feral is prowling. But often, their affair would go on. This went on and on until one night when Jesse caught Brennan sneaking in Emma's room.





"Emma could I talk to you for a moment?" Jesse asked Emma the following day.



Curious, Emma shrugged her shoulder and agreed. "Sure! What's up?" she smiled at him.



"Are you having an affair with Brennan?" Jesse asked forwardly.



Emma faked a laughter and she gazed at him, reading him of what he knows. ~Oh my God! He saw him! ~ Emma told herself but she managed to act as if she didn't know what he was talking about. "Jesse? I…"



"I saw him creeping in your room last night." Jesse added, willing Emma to tell him the truth.



"Me? And Brennan? Come on Jesse…" she tried to put him in circles, pulling him away from the topic but Jesse didn't stir.



"You didn't answer my question…" Jesse was serious. He really wanted to know. His gray-blue eyes looked at her emeralds with seriousness. He was waiting for her reply.



"I just needed some help last night so I called Brennan. That's when you saw him coming into my room." Emma lied to him trying to defend her side.



"Still it didn't answer my question." Jesse didn't stir from his position. He is determined to know what is going on. "Are you having an affair with him?"



"Hell no!" Emma finally answered.



"Good!" Jesse uttered and begun to step away. "Because if you are…I'd swear I'd kill him." He added as he walked away.



Emma jerked back. "Whoa, wa…wai…wait! Jesse!" she called and it made the molecular stop. Jesse turned to her and waited.



"Why would you kill Brennan if I am having an affair with him?" Emma asked as her heart pounded like a drum inside her. Is Jesse in-love with her? What is wrong? Why would Jesse do that?



"That is not the sole reason why I'm going to kill him." Was Jesse's reply.



"Then why?" Emma demanded. It was her turn to demand. He was not letting Jesse get away with him telling her what he knows. She could now feel it… It was jealousy. She was sensing jealousy from him but to whom?



Jesse walked back towards her and answered: "I will kill him for playing around with the two most important women in my life—you," ~my best friend, ~ Jesse added in his thoughts. "and Shalimar," ~my love. ~ Jesse begun to leave again. "I just hope he'll be faithful to her." he murmured.



Emma's breathing became constricted as she absorbed Jesse's revelation. She swallowed as she tried to hide the lumps in her throat. Her body is shaking but she managed to pretend as if she was just curious.

"Are you telling me that he's having an affair with Shal?" Emma asked Jesse before he finally left.



"I was walking across the hallway the other day. I found Shalimar's door ajar so I peaked in. I saw them…both naked…" Jesse spat out before he finally left.***

Emma cried in her bed. How could Brennan do this to her? Maybe he really didn't love her. She remembered the looked on Brennan's face this morning when she blanched. He looked at her as if he didn't even care.



Emma wept silently in her room. Every day, since she and Brennan broke up, she walked around the Sanctuary smiling to everyone; pretending that she's all right. She would greet them as if she's fine; she would face Brennan and Shalimar as if she's not even hurting. And every night, when everyone retreats to their room she would start walking in the path where she and Brennan used to take. She would walked in front of his door and kissed him virtually like she always do when they where still together. If only Brennan knows how she is feeling right now.



Emma found it hard to believe that 'they' are now over. She could not even imagine that 'they' would end. Emma lifted her pillow and took out couple of photo's she looked at every night—photos of her and Brennan when they were still together. They were so happy.



"Why do you have to do this to me, Brennan?" her heart begged for some answers. She wanted to ask him this question before the day they broke up but Brennan did all the talking and before she knew it, it was over.



Even after knowing that 'they' were through, Emma still hoped that one day Brennan would finally come to his senses and come running back to her arms. Now, all she has are the memories…





***Lyza***

okay that part was more of Emma's side. I was thinking of writing Brennan's side of the story next chapter. Don't worry…I promise this would be a B/E story… please review…
