Lexa walked trough sanctuary. She had been out for the night and hoped that everyone was in bed already. Like every night lately she had been in a bar drinking and thinking of Jesse. She stopped by his room and opened the door hearing him sleep. She loved him but couldn't tell him

You see me as the girl next-door
Like you know so many, many more
Just a fish that swims in your direction
And could bring a lot of affection

He was friendly to her and comforted her when her brother died. But he would have done the same for Shalimar. Now everything was different. She lost the one she cared for and didn't wanted to feel this way again, ever.

But I can't play the game of love with you
I know it will only hurt me
I feel tears in my eyes
'cause we have to say goodbye (and)
Looking in the face of love
I'll never touch it
It would be self-deceit
to think that you would stay with me

She walked in his room. This would be the last time that she'd be there. The last time that she would see his face.

You think you mean the same to me
But I'm afraid and too shy to let you see
To me you're really someone special
I've found a needle in the haystack
I feel love is back

I love you Jess she whispered. But I know that this isn't the right time to tell you. She kissed him gently and left his room. When she got in her room she started to pack her bags. she would leave tonight.

But I can't play the game of love with you
I know it will only hurt me
I feel tears in my eyes
'cause we have to say goodbye (and)
Looking in the face of love
I'll never touch it
It would be self-deceit
to think that you would never leave

Shalimar and sparky would be relieved to see her go. They never liked her. But they felt like friends and she would miss them too.

Blisters on my soul
Are they my path or are they my goal
'cause everytime I feel love
Faith ...rudely breaks it up
Will it ever stop?

She walked to her car and looked back at her home for the last time. Then she stepped in and drove away to the Domnion. They would understand why she couldn't be part of mutantx anymore.

But I can't play the game of love with you
I know it will only hurt me
I feel tears in my eyes
'cause we have to say goodbye (and)
Looking in the face of love
I'll never touch it
It would be self-deceit
to think that you would never leave

Jesse had woken up the moment Lexa had opened the door to his room. She had done that more often lately and he pretended to be asleep. This time she had walked in and sat down with him and told him she loved him. Before he could react she had walked out. He deceided to talk to her tomorrow about it and to show her he loved her too.
