"What?" Skye says, her mouth agape at Jemma.
"I said, I don't need you hurting me again!" Jemma answers furiously.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who broke somebody's heart because of choosing her career over a person," Skye snaps in reply.
Jemma's eyes widen at this response, she's surprised that Skye would talk to her like this. Skye's words open up the old wounds, reminding her of her mistakes and the pain she's caused for both of them.
"Look, Skye, I'm terribly sorry of what happened in the past. I won't say that I can fix it, but everyday I've been trying to own up what I did. I admit that I am selfish, workaholic and stupid person. I let the best person that loved me fully go away, just like that. And it was all because of me and my ego. Now, I am still trying to keep the promise we made, but seeing that you've moved on, I must say, it bloody hurts," Jemma exhales as her tears roll down her cheeks. She turns away from Skye and walks back to her apartment, wishing that none of this happened. It's killing her when Skye moved on so fast and it made her feel worse when Skye was asking her an advice on how to ask out another person. Jemma needs to just sleep it off and she wishes that she will be better the next morning when she wakes up.
The next morning, Jemma wakes up with a throbbing on her head and puffy eyes; she checks her phone and decides to cook breakfast. After taking her aspirin, she starts to cook and think about what happened last night with Skye. It was so stupid of her, being childish, snapping out to Skye just because of her feelings. She should not be that selfish, Skye deserves to move on, and she deserves someone better than her. Jemma takes her phone to text Skye, apologizing for what happened last night. However, Jemma can't type a decent text to Skye, and she puts her phone down. Suddenly the bell rings and Jemma opens the door to see who it is.
"Jemma!" a pair of hands hugs her and Jemma got lost in a tangle of blonde hair.
"Umph Bobbi! Can't. Breathe." Jemma replies, gasping for breath.
"Oops. Sorry," Bobbi release Jemma from her hug and smiled at her, "how are you by the way?"
"I'm fine, and you? Please, come in," Jemma let Bobbi in.
"Ah, I miss coming here," Bobbi says as she sit on the couch.
"Well, I miss you too, you are always welcome here you know," Jemma nudges Bobbi. Jemma walks up to the fridge and offers Bobbi drinks.
"Do you want beer? Iced tea? Water?" Jemma offers.
"One beer please," Bobbi replies.
"Soo…what brings you here Bob?" Jemma says as she places the beer in front of Bobbi.
"I'm just gonna go straight to the point alright," Bobbi sips her beer, "what did you do to Skye last night?"
"Last night? What?" Jemma's mind are rushing through and she did not understand why Bobbi asks her this.
"Yes, last night Jemma, what did you do to Skye?" Bobbi's tone becomes stern as she pierces Jemma with her eyes.
"I-I, well we met, and we had a complicated situation and I left," Jemma lowers her head, avoiding Bobbi's gaze.
"She's a mess Jemma, after she goes home last night she just cried in her room without telling me what happened" Bobbi takes another gulp of her beer, "and I had no clue at all until I saw her looking at your old pictures at her laptop, that's where I figure out it has to do something with you," she huffs.
"Why don't you really asked her what happened? You asked her what she asked me yesterday okay," Jemma furrows her brow and shakes her head.
"What did she do Jemma?" Bobbi raises her brow.
"She asked me to meet and she asked me how to ask a cute guy out," Jemma explains, " I ran out because it hurts me, she crossed a line Bobbi, I still love her but she's moved on," tears starting to water her eyes.
"Oh god," Bobbi froze, she bites her lips.
"What Bobbi?" Jemma inquires, curious of what is going on.
"It's stupid Jemma, so stupid," Bobbi tucks her hair and her eyes full of regret, "we had a very stupid conversation about a week ago. Me, Hunter and Mack kinda gives her the idea to talk to you about asking out another guy," she stops, drinking her beer.
"Okay…and?" Jemma anticipates the rest of Bobbi's story.
"So we said that maybe if she wanted to know if your ex still had feelings for you, you should ask them an advice on how to ask out a person. If your ex is cool with it that means they moved on, but if they are not cool with it, you know what it means," Bobbi finishes her explanation.
"Okay, that means Skye know I'm not over her right?" Jemma is confused now.
"Yes, that's it. But I don't understand why is she crying, what else did you said to her?" Bobbi tries to figure out the reason on why Skye is upset.
"Shit. I think I might know why," Jemma says, remembering the harsh word she said to Skye. "I'm gonna fix this Bobbi, where is she?"
"I think she's still home, but what would you do Jemma?" Bobbi questions her.
"I will get her back and I will make sure I did not make the same mistake, I won't let her go again," Jemma persists, she takes her coat and heads outside. Bobbi follows her and grabs her hand, "Promise me, you won't break her heart again,".
"I promise I won't Bob," Jemma squeezes Bobbi's hand, "thank you for taking such good care of her," Jemma smiles.
Jemma rushes to Skye's apartment, she knocks the door, readying herself for what she will do and how Skye will react. How stupid and crude of her to act that way around Skye just because she is jealous. Well, now she did not want to regret the things she did, she needs to apologize and fight for Skye again. However, nobody's answering the door, Jemma knocks again and still, there is no sound from the other side.
"Skye! Skye! Are you there?" Jemma keep knocking the door.
As Jemma knocks the door again, she remembers that Skye had a special spot in the park to go to if she was upset so Jemma decides to take a shot and goes to the park. Jemma walks through the park, the park is almost empty; nobody go to this park anymore since there is a new mall nearby. That is why Skye loves it there, Skye is a social person but sometimes she just need alone time without people bugging her and asking her what is wrong. Skye did not let any person easily and it is really hard for Jemma to get through Skye the first time. And now Jemma had broken that trust, however Jemma doesn't care how long will it takes for her to gain that trust back or if there is ever a chance to be with Skye again, Jemma will try. She is perseverance in that way. As Jemma approaches a corner with a bench she sees Skye sitting there arms wrapped around herself, protecting her body from the cold autumn wind.
"Is this seat taken?" Jemma asks Skye, offering her a warm mint chocolate, Skye's favorite drink that she picks up just before going into the park.
"J-Jemma?" Skye stuttered, her eyes wide in disbelief, "how did you find me?"
"I still know you, Skye. And I always know where will you go if you are upset," Jemma smiles warmly.
"Well, thanks for the chocolate, and I'm sorry for what happened yesterday," Skye smiles back sheepishly.
"I'm the one who should say sorry, Skye" Jemma holds Skye's hand, remembering what it feels like to hold Skye's hand again. "I am truly sorry for what I've put you through all these time, I am sorry for my selfishness and my crazy drive at work, making me forgot what should be my priority. I am such a fool to let you go, Skye. When I let you go, I am letting go the very best part from my life. You make me better and life with you is so much easier. But all that workload of crap had blinded me from seeing what I should really focus on. I did not want to be that jerk anymore, I wanted to give you what you deserve. Maybe we can't go back to where we were but I am willing to give this a fresh start. Will you forgive me?"
Skye stays quiet for a long time, she didn't react. After a long silence between them, Skye opens her mouth, "You know, I am devastated from the moment I moved out. Maybe it was also a really sudden decision that I did not think of clearly first because of my emotions. I am sorry for what happened last night, I'm kind of taunting you and it did not end well for the both of us. I just wanted to know if you have moved on or not," Skye smiles sadly to Jemma.
"I never move on from you Skye, and I don't think I can. Life without you has been a blur and if you're willing, I wanted to make my life clearer with you in it again," Jemma holds Skye's cheek gently, wiping the tears from Skye's face.
"Yes, I want to Jemma. I need you too," Skye buries her head in Jemma's shoulder.
"I promise you Skye, I will never let myself hurt you again. I will keep you safe and you will always be my priority on top of all things. So, shall we give this a fresh start?" Jemma asks, relieved that Skye accepts her apology.
"Okay. Hey, my name is Skye, nice to meet you," Skye holds out her hand.
"Really? This kind of cliché lines in the movie for people who wanted a fresh start?" Jemma shakes her head unbelievably.
"You said you wanted a fresh start right? Or you don't want to?" Skye starts to grin evilly.
"Urgh, okay, fine, fine. Nice to meet you too, I'm Jemma," she says as she shakes Skye's hand.
They both laugh and embrace each other, holding each other, watching the leaves falling of the tree and feeling each other's warmth, and at last they are back to where they are meant to.
