The Morning After

She looked through the window of the cab, glancing one final time at the town she had tried so desperately to make her home. She really didn't want to leave but had no choice staying was much to painful and she'd had enough pain to last her a lifetime.

As she got out of the cab and walked towards the plane she remembered the events that had drove to leave Port Charles. She remembered going to Jax and Brenda's wedding and taking the gun. She didn't know exactly what she going to do with it but she knew she couldn't let them be happy while she was so miserable. If she was in pain they were going to be in pain too, it was just that simple. But her intervention was not necessary Jax had sabotaged his own wedding and after the way he did it even if he changed his mind Brenda would never take him back.

So Jax was free and that meant she would either throw herself at in misguided attempts to win him back or watch him move on to other women and wallow in misery while slowly killing herself with alcohol trying to numb the pain.

Syke knew was better than that. She knew she deserved better than that and if she stayed in Port Charles she was just fall deeper and deeper into her old life. She needed to break the cycle.

So after the wedding fiasco she went to Edward and begged him find her a job as far away from Port Charles and Jax as possible. He was reluctant at first, but after that her being far away from Port Charles meant that she would be far away from him and his precious company. So he agreed. And here she was on her way to Paris for a fresh start, a chance at having a real life. But first she had to do something she had to break all ties and with a heavy heart she handed over her last link to the man she loved.

Meanwhile At Kelly's

Jax sat sipping his morning his morning coffee so deep in thought he was barely aware of the other people in the room. He was thinking about how much he had hurt two women he cared so deeply about. He was truly sorry he had hurt Brenda but after seeing her win Sonny he knew that nothing between them could last. He knew it was better that the two of them had ended there instead of dragging out the inevitable. What he didn't know, what he couldn't comprehend was why he had ruined everything he and Skye shared trying to rekindle a romance that was better left in the past. Skye had done nothing but to love him completely and given herself to him like she had never done before. And he crushed her. Completely. Sent her back to drinking and bitterness. The thought of Skye being alone and miserable hurt him so much more than whatever he felt about leaving Brenda.

He heard someone behind him and was afraid to look around fearing it was one of Brenda's friends come to lecture him about the way he had handled the situation. He heard the person call his name and looked around to see a messenger handing him a black box. He took the box signed the messenger's forms and turned back to his table. He opened it and gasped slightly. Inside was a beautiful necklace, which he had bought what seemed to be a lifetime ago. He remembered how beautiful she looked wearing it especially on their wedding day. But she had given it back. She had given back the token of his love which he had promised would last forever. He knew what it meant. It was over between them, there was no going back, no chance at reconciliation.

He raced to the house they had once shared, even if their marriage had not lasted he had given her that necklace and it was hers and only hers. What he found when he arrived was a cold empty hose. She was gone and it was truly over.
