~ Chapter 5 (Beth/Luis/Sheridan) ~
Sheridan eyed an unhappy Luis with a mixture of emotions. She couldn't
put into words how she was feeling exactly. She had just caught the man of her
dreams, the one she had loved - the one she would always love - with another
woman. Beth Wallace.
~*~ I always dreamed that everything
would be ok with me and you
but I was wrong
When I looked into your eyes
I didn't see all the things
I used to see
whats going on ~*~
Tears came to her eyes, clouding her vision and melting her mind into
nothingness. She knew that all she had to do was forgive him, and everything
would be fine again. But something in her heart was nagging at her. It wasn't
as simple as that, her heart was telling her. He had caused her so much pain
when she walked in on Luis kissing Beth in his bedroom; she had fleeted away,
letting her tears and that moment's perception of things direct her. And it
had led her to the docks, where he had followed her.
~*~ You gave me reason to believe
that we were always meant to be
but now I see
you were wrong
You cant keep running back to me
with all those baby baby pleases
no more....no more ~*~
"Sheridan, baby please, I'm so sorry," he had pleaded.
She had refused to look at him. Pushed his comforting hand away from
her shoulder. Didn't allow for him to come close enough to kiss her, because
that would be the ultimate way for her to give in. And give in she wouldn't.
~*~ never imagined you would be a faded picture
i'm emotional
guess i'll be leaving, no deceiving; its official
i'm emotional ~*~
Sheridan mustered up all the courage she could before speaking. "It's
over, Luis." It was the three hardest words she had to ever say to him. They
were nothing like the 'I love yous' she tossed his way on a daily basis. She
cringed. She couldn't believe that her relationship with the love of her life
had come to this. Wait no, she could believe it. She just didn't want to.
~*~ I can't forget that night
I saw you in the corner wrapped up tight
you were wrong
Slow dancing on the floor
while i was watching from the door so hurt
there you were ~*~
"It can't be!" he protested.
"Luis, stop it!" she cried out. "This isn't the first time I've caught
the two of you together! Don't you remember Gwen and Hank's wedding? I went
out for some fresh air and by the time I came back, I saw the two of you
dancing. You had your arms ALL over her!"
Luis couldn't deny it. It was true. But what was he to do? The
temptation was too great. But it wasn't lust; he knew it to be love. He loved
Beth. But he also loved Sheridan.
"Sheridan, come on," Luis continued. "What we have is special! You
know that. Don't tell me that when I kiss you, you don't...."
"Don't finish that sentence!" Sheridan interrupted hastily. She knew
what he was saying was true. She knew the effect his kisses had on her. If he
were to kiss her, she would most likely succumb, and forget all about this
mess. But she couldn't. She wouldn't. "I told you it's over, Luis. Goodbye!"
She grabbed her purse from the bench, and began to walk off.
~*~ You gave me reason to believe
that we were always meant to be
but now I see
you were wrong
You can't keep running back to me
with all those baby baby pleases
no more....no more ~*~
"Sheridan!" he protested in one last futile attempt. He walked over to
her. By the time she turned to give him one last look of dismay, he was
already grabbing and pulling her into a passionate kiss. A kiss borne of love.
But a tainted love.
She let his lips settle on hers for a few seconds before she realized
what she was doing."I said it's over!" she shouted, pulling away from his kiss
and slapping his arm as a means to say no. She quickly walked away, leaving
him alone there by the docks.
~*~ you had your chance (had your chance)
but you threw it all away (yes you did)
thought you had my love always (no ba-by)
i don't understand (i dont understand)
how you think that we could stay
when you told a lie
i had to go ~*~
Luis watched her walk off, not knowing what to do. He knew that
Sheridan meant it when she said it was over. He had proven to her that they
were meant to be, after all, they had shared past lives together, but he had
also shown her that his love for her was not strong enough, since he was also
in love with another woman.
He let out a long sigh, as he watched the peaceful water flow right in
front of him.
"I love her," he shouted to no one in particular, "but I threw my
chance out the window, didn't I?!" He flung a small rock into the lake. It
splashed, creating a ripple effect through the water.
~*~ You gave me reason to believe
that we were always meant to be
but now I see
you were wrong
You can't keep running back to me
with all those baby baby pleases
no more....no more ~*~
"Goodbye, Sheridan," he whispered. "I will always love you, but you're
right. I can't keep doing this to you. Hurting you just because my heart
isn't made up about who it loves more - you or Beth. But it looks like I
don't have to decide, because you ultimately did it for me."
He sighed again, walking back to where he came from. His house. Where
Beth probably still was.
{a/n: gee, what can I say other than i hope u liked it, even though it was more of a buis than a shuis. i hate shuis. oh well. review and tell me whatever comes to mind. dont flame but feel free to constructively criticize!}
