Chapter 3

As I sing to the lyrics written on the page in front of me I can hear the music in my still pounding head but the soft beat and the piano mixing perfectly, soothing me. I write some edits on the page and pick up my laptop, I enter the music notes and the soft beat begins and I slowly add piano to it and then I begin to sing this new song called 'Fools'.


Those hardest to love need it most
I watched our bodies turn to ghosts
Such good friends, it has to end it always does
That's the way life is
Do we take that risk?

And so it all boils down to this
We've got our aim but we might miss
We are too fragile just to guess
And I've been in this place before
Fine as we are but we want more
That's human nature at its best

What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools?
And all we have we lose?
I don't want you to go but I want you so
So tell me what we choose

Friends, I watched us as we changed
The feelings in my headspace rearranged
I want you more than I've wanted anyone
Isn't that dangerous?

The anticipation before the kiss
Mirrored in my shaking lips
Oh god I feel so unprepared
The two of us so out of place
My feelings written on my face
Got what I want but now I'm scared


I stop for just a second and I feel my breath catch in my throat, thoughts filling my mind and her face flashes in my eyes and I can only think of her smile and her smooth honey voice. I continue to sing, slightly louder than before. It's been a while since I have sung like this, the song coursing through my bones and projecting out my lungs.


What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools?
And all we have we lose?
I don't want you to go but I want you so
So tell me what
Tell me what we choose
What we choose
What we choose

What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools?
And all we have we lose?
I don't want you to go but I want you so
So tell me what
Tell me what
Tell me what we choose


The last word slips from my lips and I feel like I have just opened my chest and it's wide open, ready for attack. The last few strands of music flow through the speakers on my laptop and I breathing, things flowing through my head at a mile a minute.

A soft knock wraps at my door and I watch as May walks in, her face unreadable as always, but a slight smile plays at her lips.

'That was beautiful Skye. Very well done with the added music as well, I didn't know you could play.'

'Umm Thanks May but I just added the music notes into the laptop and it calibrated it for me,' I told her my voice a bit shaky.

I follow her with my eyes as she sits on the little desk in my room, 'I know this is your first real deep cover. I mean you cannot wing it. You must act professional even with Simmons at your side. I know what is going on with you and Simmons.'

'What?...no nothing…um…nothing is going on between me and Simmons. She's my friend.'

'Yes Skye she is your friend. But the way you look at each other, even an idiot can see what is going on. Skye listen just don't mess this up, both the mission and yes, even Simmons. I hope you feel better Skye.'

May swiftly turn back to the door but she says without turning back around, 'She feels the same for you. I'm positive. Keep singing. It's quite beautiful to listen, I mean you're right next to the lounge, did you really think we couldn't hear you.'

'Umm thanks May…I guess.'

The door shuts softly behind her and I feel like a panic attack is about to creep up my throat but I stop it; I have to be a better Agent. I have to do my job right.


I pick up the rest of the songs, knowing I have to have them memorised by the time we get to China. I want to pace around my room to rid of the headache still pounding in my head. I need to go for a walk around this plane. I open my door and as soon as I do Coulson, Wards and May's heads snap up to stare at me their conversation stoping. I wave at them with the folder of songs still clutched in one hand and my laptop under my arm. Coulson smiles and nods to me and then I quickly rush out of the room, not wanting to be a part of their conversation.

I walk down the spiral stair case and I look in the lab and I can see Fitz and Jemma arguing, over what, I'm not so sure. The door slide open as I walk in a Fitz and Jemma stop their argument to stare at me. Jemma instantly jumps up and rushes over to her side of the lab and is suddenly in front of me with a cup of water and a few pills.

I look down at them as she places them in my hands, her fingers softly touching mine. I thank her quietly and I ask them if I can work in here.'

Fitz nods happily straight away and Jemma voices her approval, 'Yes of course you can join us Skye, we would love to hear you sing,' her English accent rings through my ears.

I nod in thanks and I take a quick seat in what has now become my little corner when I ever join them in here and I quickly load my laptop back up. Jemma and Fitz quietly go back to what they are doing and I try to work on my music again to get the perfect soft pitch. The music floats through the laptop and I look up to see Jemma softly sway to the music and my mouth drops and Fitz voice breaks my attention of Jemma's perfect hips.

'Skye, what in the world are you staring at?' his Scottish voice ringing firmly.

I quickly close my mouth as Jemma turns to look at me a blush filling both our cheeks. And I can't catch my breath.


Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except for bad timing. So guys I know you probably hate me for such a late chapter but writers block is killing me. I'm really sorry but I hope to be getting back on track and hopefully Sweet Dreams should be updated soon, I'm not sure when but it should be with in a few days. Thank you to everyone who is still reading and all the new followers. So please review because you all make my heart explode with the feels. Oh and the song used in this was Fools by Lauren Aquilina. Have a great day!
