Chapter 8
"Are you gonna go over there?"
Skye jumped at least ten feet into the air when Dr.Garner suddenly showed up behind her, whispering to her and looking in Jemma's direction.
"What the hell?!" She exclaimed, placing a hand over her heart and smacking William with the other as he laughed. "So not funny."
"I wasn't trying to be. Are you gonna go over there?" Dr.Garner asked again.
"I don't think it's-"
"Skye, come on. She's coming to you, why don't you go see what she has to say?" Skye's eyes softened, but she didn't move from her position. "She's been worried about you. This last week the most. She's been up all night thinking about what she wants to say to you."
"She still broke my heart."
"And now she's trying to fix it." William said, taking Skye's arm and slightly pulling her towards Jemma. "She's been hurting too, now is your chance to stop the pain and get her back. I know you both miss each other, a freaking rock could tell you're both miserable right now. So go to her, make the pain disappear." Skye took a deep breath and nodded, slowly walking over to the British girl.
"By the way, you should totally become a philosopher." She told him, making him slightly chuckle. She finally got to be about five feet away when Jemma noticed her.
They girls stood across from each other, face to face with a ten foot gap between them. Skye turned her head slightly, waiting for Jemma to speak first.
"Skye..." Jemma whispered, not really sure where to start.
"Simmons." Skye mumbled back, still refusing to look at the other girl.
"I heard you were with a guy from Hydra the other day... And I was wondering if Ward was that guy." She finally asked after a minute of really awkward silence between them too.
"Maybe he is maybe he isn't. Why would you care?"
"I still care about you Skye."
"Didn't sound that way when you dumped me. " Jemma's eyes widened and she looked down, making Skye feel a little guilty.
"I know that the way I handled things was...rough, but I think a part of me will always care about you. You were my first love."
"Was." Skye moved past her and started towards the exit.
"I'm not done yet!" Jemma yelled after her.
"I know, but if I here another word about how we used to be together I'm gonna lose my mind." She walked out, tears streaming down her face.
The walk home seemed long (probably because she's never walked home before) and by the time she was able to see her front porch the sun was already setting. She bumped into her father on the way in, ignoring his incoherent mumbles and curses.
"What's up with dad?" She asked her mom, only to realize that her mother was not alone.
"Hello Skye."
"Hi Mrs.Simmons." She looked away, excusing herself before rushing to her room.
Lately it seemed like she couldn't get away from the Simmons family.
...
"What did you just say?" Bobbi raised an eyebrow as she sat across her girlfriend.
"You heard me, blondie. We gotta get Simmons and Skye back together."
"And how on Gods green Earth are we gonna do that? Skye wants Jemma to talk to her first and when Jemma tried to talk to her Skye walked away."
"Come on, we owe them this. If Skye hadn't shoved us into the janitors closet we would've had to wait until the summer to get back together. " Bobbi stared into her girlfriends eyes. "You didn't hear a damn thing I just said didn't you?" Kara asked, waving her hand in front of the blondes face.
"I did, but then I started wondering if we had to go to bible camp or whatever this summer." Kara took a deep breath.
"Yeah. We do. " Bobbi groaned. "But, if we get Skimmons back together, I'll think about canceling it."
"You really want to do this don't you?" Kara nodded, leaning over and kissing her girlfriend.
"Let's do it. What do you have in mind?" Bobbi asked as they pulled apart.
"I think you know what I have in mind." Kara nodded her head to the door where Lincoln and Raina had walked in.
"Okay, I thought I knew, but now I don't. What do Raina and Lincoln have to do with anything?"
"No, behind those losers."
Bobbi moved her head to the side and let out a small 'oh' when she saw Grant. "Yo Ward!" She shouted, getting the slightly taller boy's attention. "We need your help with something."
