Half the day went by, and Selenity tried to avoid Elios. Naturally, he
noticed this, and eventually just walked over to her, took her by the
shoulders, pushed her up against the wall, and asked a bit icily; "What did
your father say to you?" She looked away, tears filling her eyes for what
seemed like the fiftieth time that day. "I can't." Selenity trailed off.
Elios saw a tear run down her cheek, and his rather angry expression changed to one of concern. "Selenity, what happened?" He had a hunch, but did not want to make any assumptions yet. "Elios, I. this is so hard for me to say." Right now, what she needed was a friend, and not a lover. His arms went around her, and he pulled her close, trying to soothe her. "I have to leave, right?" Selenity nodded, and he knew how crushed she was. He sighed; he had to be the strong one, because Selenity couldn't. "It isn't that he does not understand, it's just that he does not want me to get hurt."
"In what way?" Selenity pulled back, and he looked into her eyes. "He does not want something like what happened this morning to repeat itself, only with a different outcome." Elios nodded, kissed her softly, and then said. "You'll be in my heart." He whispered, and she nodded back. "Goodbye." She put her palm on his cheek, and he covered her own hand with his. Then, he was gone, and she sang quietly.
"Close the door
Shut the world away
All the fight's gone from this wounded heart
Across the floor
Dreams and shadows play
Like wind blown refugees
Call the man
Who deals in love beyond repair
He can heal the world
Of hearts in need of care
Shine a light ahead
When the next step is unclear
Call the man
He's needed here
I close my eyes
I remember when
Your sweet love filled this empty room
The tears I cry
Won't bring it back again
Unless the lonely star should fall
Call the man
Who deals in love beyond repair
He can heal the world
Of hearts in need of care
Shine a light ahead
When the next step is unclear
Call the man
He's needed here
Needed in the chaos and confusion
From the plains to city hall
Needed where the proud who walk the wire are set to fall
Call the man
Who deals in once upon a time
Maybe he
Can mend this broken heart of mine
Shine a light ahead
Now the future isn't clear
Call the man
He's needed here
Call the man
He's needed here
He's needed here
He's needed here
Call the man
He's needed here
Right here right now."

Queen Serenity was just coming down the hallway when she saw her daughter crying. "Selenity, what's wrong?" She hugged her daughter, and then pulled away. "Mother, I had to leave him." It was quite obvious whom she was speaking of. "Why did you leave him, I thought you two liked each other?"
"We do, father made me do it! I understand his reasoning, but I just can't handle it, I. I love him. I can actually feel how far away he is, and it's killing me, even though it has only been a few minutes. How can I survive for the rest of my life wen I can barely stand five minutes?" Selenity's tears ran down her cheeks in an unending river of emotion. "Oh Selenity, I'm so sorry!" She let her mother hold her, like she had when she was just a child, for a few minutes. "I have to deal with this now." Her room was her only refuge now, and she feared that she might never leave it.
