Just Walk Away (Scully's point of vieuw)

She curled up in her bed, crying. This plan did not end how she wanted it. And she even got hurt more in the process. She took her phone and dialed a phone number.

"Hodgins" She heard.

"Is Angela there, Please I really need to talk to her?" She said crying. He heard Hodgins run up the stairs, and call out to Angela. She kept crying, she needed to talk to somebody. Normally she would call Mulder, but now that was out of the question.

"Hello." She heard. "Bren?"

"It's Scully." She said crying. "It's Mulder, we slept together."

"That's so fantastic, sweetie." Angela said enthusiastically. "You need to tell me everything. Was he good? Did he tell you that he loves you? Oh did he serenade you?"

"He does not love me." Scully said "We slept together, and then he said he was confused and he made a mistake. He said that he loved Brennan way too much. What I'm I supposed to do?"

"I don't know sweetie." Angela said "I don't have an answer for this."

"I just can't handle this, I wish I never did this. I wish I never called Booth. I wish I was just here by myself. That I hadn't slept with him." Scully said "How can I work with him after this? If Mulder doesn't love me, why do I stay at the X-files?"

"Maybe, he'll change his mind." Angela said

"No," Scully said "It's over. I'm done saving his ass. I'm done with the x-files. I'm leaving the FBI, I'm going back to being a doctor."

"Isn't that a little drastic?" Angela asked "I mean . . . "

"Fox Mulder, doesn't need me. All he needs is his X-files." Scully replied

"Just give him a break, if he loves you truly. He'll be back." Angela said.

"So what?" Dana cried harder "So I wait until Fox Mulder wants me? I'm done waiting." Scully said. Scully hung up the phone. She sat down at the computer. She opened a text document, and typed the following text. 'In this letter, I Dana Katherine Scully resign from the FBI from today on. Sincerely Dana Katherine Scully.'

She stepped in her car, and drove to the FBI building. Walking through the halls really fast, she entered the bureau of Ad Skinner without knocking.

"Agent Scully what is this about?" He asked "I thought you and Mulder had the day off."

"Agent Skinner, I needed to give you something." She handed him the letter in an envelope.

"What is this?" He asked while he opened the envelope.

"My letter of resignation." She said "From now on I don't work for the FBI anymore."

"Agent Scully, I'm gonna pretend that I never got this." Ad skinner yanked the letter in little pieces and dropped it in the trash can.

"What would Mulder say?" he continued.

"I don't give a rat's ass about what Mulder has to say. If you won't approve my resignation, I'll go straight to Kirsch. And he'll accept it."

"Why do you want to quit the FBI, Scully?" Skinner asked "Mulder needs you."

"Mulder doesn't need me." Scully replied "I've lost more on the job than I've won. I don't want to end up losing my freedom. I'm free to go, and leave the bureau. Sir."

"You're a good agent, Scully." He said "But if you really insist. I need you to give your badge and gun and leave this building." She handed him the gun and her badge.

"Thanks sir." Scully replied

"If you change your mind, you'll could still come back. " He said standing up and hugging her tight "I'm gonna miss you Scully. Mulder is just going to freak when he finds out I let you go."

"I don't think he'll care." Scully said leaving his office and the FBI building without ever looking back. Never looking. Scully cried briefly. When she arrived in her apartment, Booth was standing before the door.

"Angela called, she told me what happened." Booth said "You didn't quit the FBI, did you?"

"I did, it's done." She replied. She turned her key in the lock. And walked inside the building. Booth followed her close as she entered her apartment.

"I'm moving." Scully said "To Minnesota, There's a hospital that did give me an offer to work there a while ago. The offer still stands. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Just like that?" Booth asked "You're not giving him a chance to make it up to you?"

"No" Scully said "I'm done with Fox Mulder, I've done enough for that guy, what have I ever gotten back? Nothing. No Thank you notes. He doesn't need me. There is another Scully around the corner that is crazy enough to follow him on his chase after aliens. But it will just not be me, not anymore."

With that she started packing everything she owed, leaving everything that reminded her of Mulder. Everything. Pictures and notes. Everything that just had a little Mulder over it. She called a moving company to get a moving van here today. On Saturday, she closed that door behind her forever. The last thing she saw was the car driving away.
