Billie looks at Skylar as she looks at him, the sound of that stupid clock was the only thing that could be heard.
"I can't do it Billie" Skylar finally says, the hurt in her voice just sounded so painful to say-- even to think about saying it. "What do you mean?" Billie responds, trying to hide the hurt in his voice, "You don't want to be with me anymore?" Skylar immediately shakes her head, "No, no, no Billie, I do want to be with you, it's just that..." "It's just what?" Skylar sighs and sits back down on the couch, "I love this new life-- away from the kids at school, the thought of my family, taking a break from school. But, I just feel... alone when you leave, I have the twins who I truly love and adore, but I just feel alone... like I did when I was 13.

"I'm not, just please don't do anything that you'll regret... if anything happens to you, I don't know what I'll do, it makes me think of that nightmare I had when I dreamt that I lost you during birth" Billie rubs his eyes, Skylar walks up to him, "Don't you start crying, I should be the one doing that..." Skylar says quietly, holding Billie in her arms, she too starts crying.
"Please don't leave me Sky..." Billie says in between crying, Skylar holds him tighter, "I won't..."
