"Eloise, sweetie.." Marco started as Eloise sat down. His eyes filled with tears "I'm gonna be going away for awh-"

"NO!" Eloise screamed "NO! DON'T!" She was now on the floor kicking and screaming.

Dylan finally calmed her down.

"My mommy went away, and now daddy's going away too?" She asked Dylan, sniffling.

"Only for a little bit." Dylan looked at Marco hopefully.

"Will you be back before school starts?"

"Maybe." Marco said.

"Say you will, please?" Eloise looked so scared.

"I can't do that honey, I'm sorry." Marco went into the bathroom with Dylan close behind him.

"You can't tell her you'll be back when she wants you. She obviously needs you." Dylan started to cry.

"I just-I don't know if this is the best relationship to raise a child in."

"Well I didn't exactly plan this." Dylan whimpered.

"Look, I love you, and I love Eloise, but after all I've-we've been through, I just need some time." Marco looked at Dylan with tears in his eyes. "I'm gonna leave tonight, I'll find a hotel somewhere, you have my cell phone number and I have yours if anything goes wrong, all right?"

Dylan nodded.

"I'm gonna go home and pack." Marco kissed Dylan intending for it to be very passionate, but with all the tension in the air, it was more lack-luster.

Around 2, Dylan got out of work and left for home with Eloise. He put her down for her nap, and called Paige.

"Paige?"

"Yea, Dyl what's up, you sound upset?"

"Marco left." Dylan cried.

"What? You two were so the perfect couple."

"He just decided that with everything going on, this wasn't the best situation to raise a child in. I know he's right, but well, I kinda feel the same way you did when you and Spin broke up."

"But Spin and I got back together, and if Marco loves you as much as you love him, he'll return."

"Since when did you become so wise?" Dylan chuckled.

"Since my big brother needed my help." Paige giggled.

"I love you sis."

"I love you too. If you need anything you got my number." Paige hung up.

As Dylan hung up with Paige the phone rang again. It was Marco.

"I'm staying in the states for a while." Marco stated.

"What? That's so far."

"No it's only like 3 hours, It'll be fine."

"I still don't understand why you did this."

"I still don't understand why you slept with Ellie. Was I not good enough? You had to see why all the straight guys were raving about it?"

"I told you why-" Dylan started.

"Not Good Enough!" Marco hung up.

"Damn it!" Dylan started crying.

He went to the refridgerator and grabbed one of Marco's wine coolers. He pooped the top off and then thought of Eloise.

"I can't." He thoguht throwing away the full bottle.
