"Sweetie, I'm not getting out. I don't want to leave you."

She twists around to look at me. "What are you-"

I put my finger against my lips, to signal to stay quiet and point to the crowd on the other side of the hall. "That was a crowd control lie Cy-cy. I'm really going to another facility for more intense training."

Cy scans my face, realization setting in. "You don't mean..." I nod sadly, and tears brim again in her beautiful eye. "No..."

I try to smile, rubbing her back while her tears had become hiccups. "Agent Riley said it's not as bad as they say. My safety and survival is their top priority. And Cy, this may be my shot at controlling my powers."

She whimpers through her hiccups, and I couldn't help but hug her closer at how adorable she is. But she pushes against me, sudden strength in her little body. "I don't care, you can't go. You will not go, I won't let you."

"Cy..." My words fade out, I no longer have much strength to argue with my better half.

She stands up to face me, her hands resting on either side of the chair. A tear drips onto my leg and I feel my own eyes well up at her statement. "No! If you don't escape with me before you leave, I won't be your girlfriend anymore. No emails, no visits, nothing." She trembles as she speaks, and walks back to the living area, wiping her tears and faking a smile for the people still chattering excitedly.

"Wait, Cy!"

There was no answer, and she even closed her thoughts to me. Closing my eyes, I bury my face in my hands.
