Ch. 7
Sydney awoke stiff, sore, and disoriented, looking around she realized that she was occupying a bed in the sickbay, she groaned. Dr. Kat Manx heard her groan and came over to her.
"Oh, good you are awake," Kat said. "How are you feeling Sydney?"
"Stiff and sore," replied Sydney. "What happened? How did I get here?"
"You don't remember?" asked Kat, Sydney shook her head with a wince. "Oh, you shouldn't have done that you have a medium concussion. Why don't you tell me what the last thing that you remember is?"
"Okay," said Sydney, she took a deep breath, then after a moment of concentration said,
"I remember that the four of us; me, Sky, Bridge, and Z, went to a club, The Blur, I believe. Bridge drove. I remember dancing with many guys. And then, I remember seeing that Sky was dancing with this really pretty girl. Then, we caught each others eye and…" she paused and her voice became angry and harsh, "…Sky fing kissed her, in front of me! How could he do that Kat? He deliberately made eye contact and then as if to slap me across the face and then stab me in the chest he kisses that bitch!"
"Is that all?" Kat asked.
"It is all a blank between then and waking up here," replied Sydney.
"What else happened?"
"Well," said Kat. "Cadets Tate, Carson, and Delgado, realized that you were missing and found you unconscious lying at the base of the Point Cliffs summit. From what was pieced together, while you were coming down the Point Cliffs trail you took a stumble when it started to pour and you fell all the way down to the summit once you reached the steep decent, we found your shoe at where you began your accident. Your accident resulted in you having a medium concussion, and a broken left ankle, not to mention a medley of bumps and bruises."
"Yippee!" said Sydney in a sarcastic angry tone.
"You may return to you quarters and are to rest until your ankle is healed," said Kat, bringing a pair of crutches over to Sydney.
"Thanks," said Sydney she slowly stood and fought down a dizzy spell, then taking the crutches and hobbling out of the sick bay and towards her room.
As she hobbled down the hall on her crutches she ran into Sky.
"Syd, how are you feeling?" asked Sky.
"How do you think I'm feeling Cadet Tate?" she said tersely and brushed after him without another word.
Once Sydney was in her room, she eased herself onto her bed and turned on her radio, she listened to the song that played.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.
There was a knock on her door, the door slid open before she gave consent, and Sky walked in.
"What do you want, Cadet Tate?" she asked in the same terse tone as before.
"I came to see how you are doing Syd, and to say that I'm sorry, " Sky said.
"How am I doing?" said Sydney in a harsh tone. "How am I doing? I have a concussion and a broken ankle! And top it off you deliberately made out with that bitch at the club right in front of me! What were you thinking?"
"Syd, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you—" started Sky.
"I have feelings Sky!" she screamed at him.
"Damnit, Sydney, I have feelings too!" Sky yelled back. "I am tired of being your toy! You danced with every single guy in the club, including Bridge but me! How do you think that felt?"
"You didn't even know her and you looked right at me before you stuck your tongue down that slut's throat! In front of me! How could you? I thought we…do you know how wrong and perverted and cruel that was?" cried Sydney.
"Syd, I said that I'm sorry, I got fed up with your games—"
"My games? You play just as many games yourself Schuyler Tate!"
"Speak for yourself Miss SPD Princess!"
"SPD Princess? Is that what you think I am?"
"I'm not the only one!"
Sydney was silent.
"Get out!" she screamed.
"Syd, I didn't mean—" Sky said in a desperate voice
"Get Out!" Sydney cried in anguish.
"Syd, I'm sorry," said Sky, in the same tone as before.
"I said get out!" cried Sydney as the tears started to roll down her cheeks.
"Sydney, I never meant for you to get hurt," said Sky. "I love you."
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Sydney screamed through her tears. Sky looked at her and felt his heart break, and then he walked out of the room.
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.
Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.
Sydney flung herself onto her pillows; grabbing Peanuts, she sobbed hot angry tears.
Sky punched the punching bag, which hung in his and Bridge's room, in frustration; he had confessed his feelings to Sydney and all she could do was scream and yell at him, and she had every right to yell at him, he had screwed up. 'Wait a minute' he thought. ' She screwed up just as much as I did…'
"You kissed Sasha," his inner voice reminded "It was your game that went too far, it was your actions that she got hurt."
Sky punched the bag harder and faster venting his anger and frustration.
And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.
Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.
"I love you," Sky's words echoed through Sydney's head as she wept on her bed. She had loved him since they had been D-Squad when they had first started at the SPD Academy. But there were rules about fraternizations between cadets and officers, Sky was so straight-laced by the SPD handbook that she had never acted on her feelings, then the flirtation games had begun, and now everything was ruined.
"Sky, I love you," she said aloud, before falling asleep exhausted.
Listen to your heart, mm-mmmmmm
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.
Down the hall in Sky and Bridge's room, Sky took of his boxing gloves as a feather light whisper of Sydney's voice saying,
"Sky, I love you."
Sky didn't know how to react, he simply smiled and was overjoyed to know that she felt the same way.
