Chapter 2
"What do you mean Bobbi didn't tell the entire truth?"
"Not about us, no I meant a conversation we had during the first summer we went to camp. A conversation about you, actually."
Skye looked confused.
"Why would you guys be talking about me?"
"Bobbi was telling me that I had to live a little when she was convincing me to skip the activity that day, then fitzsimmons was mentioned, and then she was talking about how she thought you liked one of them."
"But that was before high school." Skye said, not remembering when she exactly knew she liked Jemma.
"I know, which is why I'm telling you this so shut up." Skye made a motion of zipping her lips and turned her full attention to Kara.
"She thought you liked one of them because one day she caught you staring at them, at the time I told her that you probably just zoned out, but then I figured that couldn't be because Bobbi said you had known their names. So every once in a while over the years I'd watch you when you were around her. I'm honestly surprised that it took you until a year and a half ago to start dating, but it really did shock me even more that you guys broke up."
"We didn't break up, she dumped me."
"I thought I was talking!" Skye covered her mouth this time before Kara started talking again. "I'm not sure about Simmons, but it was really obvious that you've loved her from the start of high school. It took a while but she started loving you back the exact same way that you've loved her from the start. I'm surprise it took you announcing that you guys were dating for anyone to see." Kara paused for a second, like she was still trying to remember something.
"I used to hate you and Simmons because even though you guys were in the closet for an unnecessary amount of time, you guys had what I wanted with Bobbi. I mean, Jemma could be sitting on the other side of the cafeteria and you'd both find a way to smile and stare lovingly at each other without getting caught. The only time Bobbi and I could do that was at camp, if we weren't getting disturbed by Brian so much." Skye scooted back at the tone of Kara's voice. Kara apologized, muttering something about Brian being a homophobic douchebag.
"My point is, you can't just let all of those looks, smiles, kisses, I loves you's...you can't just let them go to waste. If you truly love her, which I know you do, you have got to win her back."
"I don't know how." Skye whispered, holding a pillow in front of her.
"Bobbi and I will help. And I'm sure Mack will if he's not too busy with..." Kara noticed Skye's expression. "A person. You know, because he has a job."
"I guess." Kara rubbed Skye's back before getting up, making her way towards the door.
"I hope this talk helped, Skye. Now get some rest, it's almost midnight."
"If it's almost midnight than you should stay over, Bobbi would hate me if I let anything happen to her precious girlfriend."
"Now you sound like the Skye I know!" Kara joked, laughing a little bit to herself. "It's okay, Bobbi is actually waiting for me outside, so I'll have to take you up on that offer some other time." Skye waved at Kara and sat alone in her room. She thought long and hard about what Kara had told her before getting her phone and dialing a number that was all too familiar. It went to voicemail almost immediately, meaning that at least Skye would know that they were gonna get her message.
"Hey, you might not think that I care enough about us to try and get you back, but you should know that I'm not gonna give up on us so easily. I will fight for us until the day I die if I have too, so get ready because I'm never gonna stop trying to win you back."
She hit the end call button and tossed her phone aside, not tired at all. She had it all planned out in her head, she was just gonna need help from someone she hadn't seen in a long time. Picking up her phone again, Skye dialed a second number, patiently waiting for the other person to answer.
"Hello...?" The sleepy voice came through, obvious that Skye had just woken them up.
"Hey, it's me...Skye. Is this a bad time?" She asked, rubbing her leg as the pain suddenly shot up, making her bit her lip to keep herself from groaning.
"It's never a bad time for you." She could hear the smirk they had.
"I was just wondering if you'd like to meet up, you know, talk." She managed to say. The person on the line was silent for a few minutes.
"Why now all the sudden?" Skye rolled her eyes.
"Because I miss you. Should we meet up at the playground tomorrow night?" She asked.
"Why don't you send me your address and I'll pick you up at eight?"
"Sounds good. See ya then." She hung up, not wanted to talk to them any longer than necessary. She took a deep breath and thought about what she would say to Grant Ward.
...
"I hope she doesn't do anything stupid." Bobbi muttered as she drove her girlfriend home.
"You should have more faith in her." Kara said, tapping on her phone.
"Of course I have faith in her, she just has a habit of doing really stupid shit. One time during practice, she threw her water bottle across the gym and got dehydrated." Bobbi stated, smiling when she heard her girlfriends laugh.
"I think she'll be fine, I told her a very depressing story and I ended it with, 'and that's how my grandfather died because of my grandmothers betrayal.'" Kara said seriously, keeping a straight face.
"You what now?" Bobbi asked calmly, gripping the wheel tighter.
"I'm just kidding, I told her about how I hated her because she and Simmons had what we couldn't for a full year without taking a break."
"Baby I'm-"
"If you apologize I'm breaking up with you."
Needless to say, Bobbi remained silent for the rest of the ride.
