Her eyes stung as she stared up at the stars, just beginning to fill with clouds. She wanted to throw herself off of the roof, but she knew that did no good. Roland would find out and he would punish her for it. As it was, she needed to leave soon before he came to the Center to find her. In her heart, she knew eventually he would make her leave

Having barely settled into the location he was hiding at with Peter and Sasha, Nathan had been stunned at the note left to him by Cassandra. His chest had felt so tight and still felt tight. After informing Peter and Sasha that he would be right back without waiting for an answer he propelled himself off of the closest balcony.

Minutes later he landed on the roof of the Phoenix Center flawlessly and almost without sound. "Cass." He said, stepping forward just two steps. He now felt a sense of trepidation, being denied and cast aside by someone else. Only this wasn't just anyone. This was Cassandra.

Her eyes closed and she clenched her jaw. He should have sent Peter or someone else for Van. This was dangerous and only going to make things much worse for both of them. She didn't turn to look at him when she coldly told him, "Van is in the office. I'll get him,"

She took a deep breath and turned, willing herself to start walking past him without looking up. Hopefully, he couldn't see the tracks her tears had left. More than that, she hoped he wouldn't make this any harder.

"Wait wait wait..." Quickly, his hands landed on her shoulders. He dipped his head just slightly to try to catch her gaze which she didn't give him. "What's going on here, Cass?"

An index finger slid down her jawline to her chin to place just the slightest pressure to tilt her head up. "Come on, talk to me. We can talk it out... whatever it is."

Her eyes met him with as much venom as she could muster, though she wasn't sure it was nearly enough. "There is nothing to talk out, Nathan. I'm tired. I can't keep doing this. Losing you. Because the next time it happens, I'm going to expect you to be fine. And if you aren't, I don't know what I will do. It hurts, damn it all!" She took a breath and refused to break the gare, no matter how much she wanted to look away. He wouldn't even believe her if she didn't look him in the eye, "You hurt me! I never should have let you get as close as I did, and now I'm suffering for making such a stupid choice," She ripped herself away from him, "You shouldn't even be here,"
