The Light At The End Of The Tunnel

The Best Thing...Or The Easiest?

*Author's mini-note*
I'm baaaaaaack!!!!!!!! I'll explain my absence later now.....on with the story!!!!!!

Fitz's POV

Jemma walked into the lab from Coulson's office with a worried look on her face.

"Je-Jemma? Is there s-s-something wrong?" I question, feeling...what's the word? Uneasy? Yeah that's it, uneasy.

"Oh, no Fitz. I uh--just have to go visit my Mum and Dad for a little bit." She replies with a fake smile.

"Yo-your parents? Are they o-o-okay? I-I thought things were weird be-between you guys?" I say confused.

"Yeah, well I have to go Fitz." She says a bit cold and waits a second before continuing, "It will be for a little while, but I will be back before you can say 'tea time'. Now, if you will excuse me I'm off to the loo." As Jemma walks away tears fill her eyes.

Simmons' POV

"...Now, if you will excuse me I'm off to the loo." I say turning around quickly so Fitz can't see the tears pooling in my eyes.

I get into the restroom and lock the door. Right after I hear the lock click my body drops to the ground as if the life were sucked out from me. And I lay there, crying, trying to convince myself that leaving is the best thing for Fitz, trying to believe that I'm not doing this because it 'll be easier for me, but for Fitz.

Not having to relive the pod whenever he sees me, or kick himself for telling me how he really feels about me. I need to do this for him. Right?

All of this is too much for my body to bear and I start to feel sick. I rush over to the toilet and my breakfast makes it grand exit from my stomach. I get up from the ground and make my way to the sink. I wash my face and clean out my mouth. When I hear a knock at the door.

"Is the loo occupied?" Blurted the mercenary, Lance Hunter. Seeing he is one of the two other Brits on this base. I am trying my best to be nice

"Just one minute." I say loudly so that he can hear me. I open the door and see him leaning against the wall. "It's all yours." I squeak as my throat is raw from crying.

I sit down at my desk and peer into my microscope looking at the Coulson's latest blood sample.

"Simmons, my office please." Coulson states as he walks past the lab to his office.

Here's the part where I explain my absence for a ridiculous amount of time. Well, I had what's known as writer's block for the first time. Life was stressing me out and left me with the inability to write! I am sorry (I tend to say that a lot) I really am. But, in honor of my return I am giving you two new chapters! So stay on the look out for the next chapter that I will have up by the end of the night!

If you are still reading at this point, lucky you! If you leave a kind comment or vote for this chapter (within about an hour or so of this going up) I will give your book a few votes, and if you don't have any books I will leave you a message on your board/ give you a follow!

Thanks and keep on shining! Xoxo
