Walking Away
Skye ran rampant out of ELQ and into the parking lot, she spotted Jax up head, "Jax! Jax, wait!" Skye yelled.
Jax turned around when she heard her voice, she stopped three feet from him and tried to catch her breath.
"Skye, what is it?"
She drew in a long breath, "Ned."
"Ned?" Jax paused waiting for Skye to respond. She was still trying to catch her breath. He placed his hand on her arm, "What about Ned?"
"He loves me." Skye barely got out.
"You came running all the way into the parking lot to say that Ned loves you?"
"Yes."
Jax was slightly offended, "What?"
Skye was finally able to speak again, "Jax, listen."
Jax didn't protest, he knew that She wouldn't have ran all the way here to stop him for nothing.
Skye took his silence as a green light, "Ned and I are good together. We enjoy the same things. We have a passion for life, we belong together. Jax if you and I were meant to be then we wouldn't have ended the way we did. We were built on glass and when something happened we shattered into a million pieces and nothing can put us back together."
Jax was still silent and she continued to try her damnedest to get him to understand, "What Ned and I have is real and true and I never thought I could have that, especially after what happened after you left me. I was accused of murder and then Tracy shows up and tells me that I'm not a Quartermaine after all and I just shattered again. Ned gave me hope, he believed in me."
Tears started to collect in her eyes, "I trust him. I believe in him. I love him."
Jax just looked at her, "Why are you telling me all of this? I don't care about what you and Ned do together. As far as I'm concerned I don't want anything to do with either one of you."
"Jax, I just wanted you to know that Ned and I didn't hook up to piss you off and it wasn't just a one night stand that led to something more. We developed these feelings and were a little afraid to act on them but after we did we realized that we had something and that it wasn't going away anytime soon." She told him.
He began to walk away from her, "I want you and Ned to stay away from me, got it?"
Skye walked back up to ELQ to face Ned. She stepped off the elevator and walked with her head down to her office, Ned was sitting in one of the chairs across from her desk, "How did things go?"
I'm here, just like I said. Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made. My racing heart is just the same; Why make it strong to break it once again? And I'd love to say "I do"; Give everything to you. But I could never now be true.
Skye walked around to her desk and began putting on her coat, "Not so good."
"What did you say?"
"That I loved you. He did have the decency to hear me out but he said that he didn't want anything to do with either one of us." Skye told him, "He wants us to stay away from him." She picked up her purse and walked around to where Ned was sitting.
So I say. I think I'd better leave right now Before I fall any deeper. I think I'd better leave right now; Feeling weaker and weaker. Somebody better show me how Before I fall any deeper. I think I'd better leave right now.
Ned nodded, taking in everything she was saying, "What are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to fix things." Skye answered, "For good this time. I have been telling Jax over and over that I don't feel anything from him but anger. I've told him that I would never go back to him. Ever. But he's your friend Ned, and he has been for a long time and no one should stand in the way of friendship."
I'm here, so please explain Why you're opening up a healing wound again. I'm a little more careful, Perhaps it shows. But if I lose the highs, At least I'm spared the lows.
Now I tremble in your arms What could be the harm To feel my spirit calm?
Ned continued to watch her, "Skye, what exactly are you trying to say?"
So I say. I think I'd better leave right now Before I fall any deeper. I think I'd better leave right now; Feeling weaker and weaker. Somebody better show me how Before I fall any deeper. I think I'd better leave right now.
She walked towards the door, "I'm saying that I don't want to ruin your friendship with Jax, so I'm leaving before anything like what happened today, happens again." She opened the door and then shut it behind her.
I'm here, so please explain Why you're opening up a healing wound again. I'm a little more careful, Perhaps it shows. But if I lose the highs, At least I'm spared the lows.
Now I tremble in your arms What could be the harm To feel my spirit calm?
Before Ned realized what she was saying, she was gone. He ran down the hallway in search of her and then into the parking lot. But it was too late, she was already gone. He just stood there in the fall breeze, looking up at the sky, he had really did it this time.
I wouldn't know how to say How good it feels seeing you today I see you've got your smile back - Like you say, you're right on track But you may never know why - Once bitten, twice as shy. If I'm proud, perhaps I should explain: I couldn't bear to lose you again.
So I say. I think I'd better leave right now Before I fall any deeper. I think I'd better leave right now; Feeling weaker and weaker. Somebody better show me how Before I fall any deeper. I think I'd better leave right now.
Yes, I will. I think I'd better leave right now; I'm feeling weaker and weaker. Somebody better show me how Before I fall any deeper...
I think I'd better leave right now.
Ned walked through the Quartermaine living room, he spotted Monica out on the terrace, he quickly made his way over to her, "Monica."
She turned around to face him, "Oh, Hi Ned."
He wasted no time, "Have you seen Skye?"
"Isn't she at ELQ?"
"No, um, yes she was and then she left." Ned explained, "You haven't seen her?"
"Maybe she went to lunch."
"No, she was mad when she left."
Monica was slightly confused, "What happened?"
Ned took a deep breath, he really didn't want to include Monica in this, but he was desperate to find her, "Jax came by the office today. He and Skye shared some heated words and he stormed out of her office. He and I then exchanged some words and then some punches and then he left and Skye said that she wanted to fix things and the only way she knew how was by leaving."
"Leaving?"
Ned nodded.
"I'll help you anyway that I can, you know that, but first you have to tell me what's going on with you and Skye."
"What's going on?" Ned repeated, "Skye's my friend."
"That's all she is to you?"
He ran his hand over his face, "It's..it's complicated."
"You've fallen in love with her, haven't you? Monica questioned.
"Yes." Ned answered without thinking.
"And now you think you've lost her forever." Monica stated, "Who else knows about you and Skye?"
"Jax, Alexis and Edward." Ned told her.
"Edward? How did he ever keep his big mouth shut?"
He shook his head, "I have no idea. Skye and I didn't want to tell anyone for a while, but she's upset and I'm afraid she's going to do something destructive."
"When in doubt, act out. That's her motto. I'll help you find her, we all will and I promise to keep your relationship a secret."
Ned felt a little relieved, "Thank you Monica."
Skye walked through Angel Square, she sat down on one of the bench's, her eyes wandered up to the statue of the angel, Luna. Memories, good and bad of the past ran through her head as she watched the leaves blow across the ground. She was snapped out of her daze by someone calling her name.
"Skye Chandler?"
"Guilty as charged." She answered lifting her eyes from the ground and fixing them on Blair Cramer.
"What are you doing here in Llanview?."
"I'm here to visit Rae." Skye told her, "You haven't seen her around have you?"
"No, not today."
"I guess I'll head over to her office." Skye said as she got up from the bench, "Bye."
"Bye." Blair said as she watched Skye walk away. This was no good, Skye was probably back for a reason and wouldn't leave until she accomplished her goals. That was all she needed right now. Skye.
Skye made her way through Llanview and over to Rae's office. She knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." Rae called.
She pushed the door open and walked in, "Hi."
Rae got up from her desk and walked over to hug her daughter, "What are you doing here?"
"I can leave if you'd like." Skye offered.
"No, no I want you to stay. Have a seat." Rae told her, "What brings you to Llanview?" She sat down on the sofa beside Skye.
"I didn't like the way things were left between us."
"Neither did I, I wanted to fix things but you were so upset, I just didn't want to make matters worse."
"Nothing could have made it worse. The damage was already done." Skye confessed.
Rae placed her hand over one of Skye's, "Skye, I'm sorry, I truly am and I've told you and I'll continue to tell you until you believe me." Rae told her, "I love you."
"I love you too, Mom, but I think we need a fresh start."
"I agree." She said hugging her daughter.
"I want to know who my father is and I want the truth this time. I have a right to know." Skye whispered as she pull away from the hug.
Rae nodded, "I know you do."
"So who's my Father?" Skye asked.
