Chapter 17: Midnight Secrets and More

♦♦♠♠♦♠

I get it. I honest to God truly do. But I'm still beyond pissed.

You see, everyone is ignoring me. I made my rounds, apologized, explained... And all I get are forced smiles.

I guess I deserve it.

But it's driving me insane!!

♠♠♠♠♠

Time: 1 am

Location: The Bus

Status: Bored as hell

Since Ward has been 'under the weather' the past few days, Coulson showed me a few things.

Like how to make a log.

It's simple really, just time, location, and your status.

But I still hate doing it.

I sigh and glance at my phone for the time, 1:02 am.

I'm bored. Sooooooo bored.

Naturally I can't go to sleep... Because I had been quite depressed and drank two cups of coffee to try to block out my exhausting feelings of sadness. 

I stand up and decide to just walk around, maybe throw a few punches at the new bag downstairs.

When I pad through the 'living 'room', the one and only Agent Grant Ward is reading on the couch, momentarily oblivious to my presence.

I turn around and start to tiptoe back to my bunk, but-

"Skye? You're up late."

"Uh yah." I say turning around, giving him a half smile. "Didn't feel like sleeping."

"Uh huh." He says unconvinced.

"Umm, I'm just gonna go now..."

"I don't blame you." Ward tells me suddenly.

I swallow hard. "Pardon?"

He smiles just a bit. "I would've done the same thing."

Is he talking about... Miles?

"If he was someone who had been that influential in my past... I would've warned him." Ward further explains. "Coulson seems to think you're mad at us for resenting you for what you did." His voice raises a bit. "I'm quite mad actually! But I don't blame you."

I stare at him.

Did Ward just try to... Sorta comfort me?

"Umm..." I'm still in awe of his words. "Thanks."

Ward shrugs.

"It's probably not easy living with people who you think are upset with you." Ward states.

"You guys are upset with me." I say puzzled. "Everyone ignores me. You stopped training."

Ward shakes his head.

"Everyone is keeping there distance... Because they don't know if you're going to let them in. I stopped training because I figured you could use some time to yourself."

Really?

"Thank you." I repeat quietly. "But I simply hate doing logs. So any time now Ward! I am perfectly fine returning to training. Please."

He chuckles and goes back to reading. 

Before I know it I'm choking back tears. I had so much anxiety filling me but here I am just stupid, the team not that mad at me.
