:::Recap::: "You really think so? I thought she was rather rude. She said about two words to me and didn't even look at me when I talked to her." "Maybe that's just the way she is." He answered, breathing in sharply when her hand found its target and started to slowly rub. "Whatever. So am I staying over tonight?" He stopped the car at a stoplight and looked over at her. :::Chapter 4::: Skye was lying on her couch, reading a magazine when her doorbell rung. She looked up at the door and sighed, throwing the magazine on the coffee table and getting up. She opened the door and found Zen. "Hi!" Zen said, holding up a McDonalds bag. "Hi. I'm not that hungry." Skye said, letting her in and closing the door. "Well I got you a Double cheeseburger meal w/ a chocolate milkshake, your fav. You're eating it." Zen said, dropping the bags on the dining room table and pointing to a chair. Skye shot her a look and sat down. Zen stuck her tongue out at her and handed her her meal. "So?" Zen asked expectantly. Skye looked up at her while picking at her food. "So what?" "So, did you and Alex talk? I saw you two in the driveway." Zen answered. "We just said hello. Nothing special." "Nothing special huh? You shook his hand. You don't touch anyone ever since…well since yunno but you shook his hand. You don't even hug your mother Skye." Zen said. Skye dropped her fry and put her head in her hands. "I know Z but I can't help it. I just cant. And I dunno why I shook his hand. Yesterday was just so messed up. I wasn't even planning on going to your house. I was on my way home and when I put on the radio, OUR song was playing. You know 'All My Life'? I thought that was odd cause it hasn't been played in a long time so I changed the station and 'I Swear' came on, which is the first…" She paused for a moment, "…and last song we made love to. So I changed the radio one last time to a Spanish station and what was playing? 'No me ames'. Zen that wasn't even released in the US. Oh, and then the really weird thing is my cell phone. I distinctly remembered leaving it on my kitchen counter yesterday morning but no, it was on my passenger seat…with your number on the screen." She looked up at her friend. Zen was staring at her, confused. "So I took it as a sign. I went to your house blah blah blah. When I was going out to my car, he stopped me and offered me his hand. I looked at it and as I did, for once in these 5 years, I didn't feel scared. I dunno." Skye ended, shaking her head and looking out the window. A few moments passed until Zen spoke up. "Wow." She whispered. "Yeah I know." Skye said. "Skye maybe he is trying to tell you something. Maybe Alex is some sort of healing thingy. I don't know. All I know is I wanted you to meet my best friend but if he can help you so be it. I'm worried about you chica. I know you will never be the same Skye I once knew but if you keep going on as you are- not eating, not talking to anyone, not going out, you're gonna dig yourself a nice deep grave. So maybe you should like I dunno, hang out w/ Alex? I could invite you two over to my house, soon because he's going on that world tour thingy in a week, and you can talk." Skye looked over at her and thought. "I guess. I'm just getting freaked out. It's like an episode of X Files or something. Its weird." Zen laughed, breaking the tension. "So it's set. Lemme call him right now and see what he's doing." She took out her cell and dialed up Alex. As she waited for him to answer, she motioned to Skye's food. "Eat, its getting cold." Skye smiled, took one of her fries, dipped it into her shake and ate it while Zen made a face. Finally the line was picked up. "Hello?" Alex said breathlessly. "Hey babe! Whatcha doing?" Zen asked. "Hi! Uh, I ran up the stairs." "Uh huh." "Yeah. I left my cordless in the theatre." "Uh huh. Alex you have a phone in every room in the house." Zen said, smirking. "You…You're so nosey!" "I know. Tell Adina I said sorry. You want me to call you back? Or you can call me back when you're finished." "Um… No. I'm good." "Okay, well what are you doing today?" "Hanging. I have no set plans, why?" "Cause I have taken Skye for hostage and I want y'all to talk." "Oh okay. Cool. Where we doing this? Your place?" "Yeah. In about an hour?" "Yup, I'll see ya then." "Kay bye."
