A/N: This chapter is kind of short, but it had to be.

Elios was also dying on the inside, but unlike Selenity, he was able to
control his sadness. "Elios, what are you doing home? I told you to go up
to the surface, and I won't let you." He looked into his mother's eyes, and
she stopped. "Elios, what happened?"
"I fell in love, and I lost." He knew that she would try to call Serenity and find out why it hadn't worked. "So she found someone else?" Elios shook his head sadly. "No, I loved her, and she loved me, but we couldn't be together, so it's over." That was part of it anyway. He walked up the temple steps and into his room. Never again would he fall in love, because Selenity had changed him, and he would not be able to look at any woman in the same way.
Selenity sat on her bed and started whispering to herself.
"They passed me by, all of those great romances
You never were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
But then I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
I can't take it
I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is dying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead."
In his cold room in Elysium, Elios unexpectedly started to sing.
"One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for someone and feeling
Sorry for himself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing he could never have left at all
I never saw myself as a concealed attraction
Never felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed my mind and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In his lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing he was somewhere else instead."
Selenity continued where she had left off.
"One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for someone and feeling
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing you had never left at all
Never left at all
Elios sang with her, though he did not know that.
"Staring at the ceiling
Wishing they were somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for you and feeling
Sorry for myself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing they had never left at all."

Selenity cried herself to sleep that night, and Elios didn't sleep at all.
