Here, here! Chapter six is here ;) I am very sleepy right now and my eyes are closing, literally, but I thought I should post this before I go to sleep:)

Have fun reading it, guys!

When he woke up in the morning she was still asleep. It was almost 8 and she'd been sleeping for almost 12 hours now, which got him worried. He got pretty scared that she wouldn't wake up. As much as he really didn't want to leave her even for a second, he decided he better go get her doctor. He was getting more and more worried about his Rookie and wanted her to wake up.

He managed to find Skye's doctor, who seemed very nice and understanding. They returned to Skye's ward, Skye in the same position that he'd left her.

"Is it even normal for her to sleep that much? She's been sleeping for more than 12 hours"

"This is very normal and exactly what her body needs, trust me. She's healing nicely and coming back to normal. We might discharge her in a few days if everything goes well"

Ward was looking at his girl, unable to look away. She looked so peaceful and he was happy to see the color finally returned to her face completely. She finally looked normal.

"That's amazing news! Thank you, doctor"

About an hour passed till she finally woke up.

"Hey, Rookie" said Ward as he moved to sit on her bed wanting to get as close to her as possible and couldn't resist leaning in and kissing her on the forehead.

Skye smiled for the first time in ages and he loved to see her smile again.

"Hey, Robot. Missed me?"

She was finally her normal sarcastic self and he couldn't help smiling at her.

"I've missed you like hell, Skye. Don't you ever do anything like this again"

He squeezed her hand that was firmly in his and looked at her with a serious look on his face as if to check she fully understood what he was telling her.

"What are you talking about, Robot?" I asked him, unable to understand what he meant.

He visibly tensed up and clenched his jaw.

"You almost died, Skye. You came so close to dying. Hell, you actually were dead but we were able to bring you back, which was a hell of a job"

"So don't you dare do that ever again" he added, looking at me intensely and I felt all my insides melt. He looked at me as if he saw through me.

I tried hard to recollect what happened that put me in that hospital bed. I was too scared to ask him, he seemed to be in quite a state, telling me not to do this ever again. But what did I do?

I was very confused. I didn't remember anything that could be a reason I was in hospital right now. And he just told me I almost died…

Died.

Water. There was a lot of water…

Oh damn. Suddenly I remembered everything. I was drowning. Someone had pushed me into the water and I was drowning. I managed to get on the water's surface but then… Then I just didn't see any sense in fighting any longer.

"Skye? Skye, do you hear me?"

His voice brought me back from my thoughts. He was still looking at me, studying me intently. I wondered if he knew…

"Yes, Turbo. I can hear you perfectly well" I said in an annoyed voice.

"Skye, look at me" he demanded.

I did just that and looked at him, wondering what was it that he wanted from me.

"I know what happened there, when you were in the water. You don't have to deny it. I know you. I am going to talk to you about that when you are fully recovered. But I need you to promise me right here and now that you won't pull anything like that ever again"

I watched him in horror, almost. Did he really know? I had no idea how he could, it's not like he could read my thoughts… but there was something in the way he looked at me that told me that he really did know. I didn't want him to know I had given up and let myself drown. I didn't want him to know how weak and insecure I was.

I was scared. Did he think I was a bad person now? That I was weak? I knew he would never do what I did, he would never give up. But I did. So what now?

I didn't realize I'd been staring at him that whole time.

I felt his hand squeeze mine and then he reached out his hand and brushed my cheek, which felt heavenly. His touch always felt amazing. I could live just to feel his touch again. Why didn't I think about it before I gave up on my life?

"Skye, baby, it's okay. Everything is alright now, you're safe. I'm with you and I'm not going anywhere. It's okay. I don't blame you. I'm sorry. I should have protected you. Should have kept you safe. I shouldn't have made that decision to split up. That was all my fault"

My heart broke in two when I heard him say that. I hated what he'd just said.

"It. Was. Not. Your. Fault" I hissed, now extremely mad at him for even thinking that. Trust Ward to take the blame on himself. He thought it was his job to protect everyone, that I was HIS responsibility, that he had to protect me and keep me safe… but he didn't have to. He was wrong. It wasn't his fault.

"Skye" said Ward, his expression tense.

"Robot" I replied looking at him and trying to look as tense as he was.

Sorry but I cut their conversation in two :D the continuation is in the next chapter, which will be up soon, me thinks ;)

Thank you for reading!
