Based off of the song My Immortal by Evanescence.

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears.

She's been cast aside again. Again. She thought that with S.H.I.E.L.D they would want her, unlike everyone else, but then she fell in love and the man betrayed her, so he had cast her aside. Gosh, she was just so tired of this!

And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave. Cuz your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone.

She swung her legs over the side of her bed and walked past Vault D. She stopped in front of it and stared. It wouldn't be hard to go down there and talk to him...

"No, Skye!" she chastised herself, "don't do it."

She sighed and continued to walk to where she actually wanted to be. She picked the lock on the storage closet. She quietly slipped inside and opened up the box that held all of Ward's possessions. She never had the heart to throw them away, so she hid them in an unused storage closet. She opened up the box and pulled out his sweatshirt from the academy. She put it on and hugged herself in the oversize sweatshirt. She smiled and a tear rolled down her cheek as she noticed that it still smelled like him. She pulled the hood over her head and noticed how the sweatshirt practically seemed to swallow her up. She went through the rest of the box and pulled out two or three books and a collage that she had made for him on his birthday.

Her fingers gently traced the assorted pictures of him with the members of the team.

She smiled as she read the inscription she had written 'Deep down you're a big old softie! Proof ^ Happy Birthday, Robot                ~Skye'

She remembered how nervous she was when she gave it to him. She still hadn't really accepted her feelings for him and she was scared that he would laugh and give it back to her. Instead he had surprised her, he accepted it with a warm smile and kissed her on the cheek before heading to bed, leaving her standing alone in the lounge, fingers still touching her cheek.

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real. There's just too much that time can not erase.

She walked out of the storage closet, still wearing the sweatshirt. She brushed past Jemma in the hallway and Jemma, noticing how big the sweatshirt was on Skye, knew immediately what was going on.

She stopped Skye and wrapped her in a hug, letting Skye break down on her shoulder.

"Shhhh," she said soothingly, rubbing a hand up and down on Skye's back.

By the time Skye had finally finished crying, she thanked Jemma and returned to her bunk, eyes still puffy and red from crying.

You still have all of me.

Did she still love him? She thought about that for a moment. Maybe.

You used to captivate me by your resonating lie. Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.

"I just feel so stupid! He was my SO, I should've noticed that something was off."

"Skye," Jemma reasoned as they sat in Skye's bunk eating ice cream, "not even May knew."

Skye sulked and dug her spoon into the ice cream, "I still feel like this is my fault. Maybe if we'd found out sooner we could've helped him."

"There's nothing you could've done."

"Maybe if he told me, I would've forgiven him instead of having to find out for myself."

"You would've forgiven him?" Jemma scoffed.

Skye nodded, "I still love him, Jemma. In fact I'm STILL considering forgiving him."

Jemma shook her head, "Skye, he's a murderer."

"Yeah, and what are May and Coulson and the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D?"

You still have all of me.

So did she still love him? Yes.

I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone. But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along.

"I need to know why you did it," Skye asked as she stormed down to Vault D, not even caring that she was still wearing his sweatshirt. She tried to ignore the little flip her stomach did when he sent her a warm smile and his eyes lit up.

"Why I betrayed the team?" he asked, smile falling.

Skye silently applauded herself for getting him to talk. Apparently he hadn't been talking to anyone.

She nodded.

He sighed, "the incentives program."

Skye's smirk fell, "who were they using against you?"

"My younger brother and sister. And then once they found out that I'd become an SO, they threatened you too."

"So you did all of this because of the incentives program?"

He silently nodded and she ran away, back up the steps and out of Vault D.

She needed to talk to Coulson.

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears.

"If no one else is going to fight for him then I sure as hell will!" Skye stated her case to Coulson.

"Skye-"

"Do you know why he betrayed us?" she asked, crossing her arms and smirking at him.

"Because Garrett was his mentor, Garrett told us all of this already."

"And you're going to trust the word of a mad man instead of an old member of your team?" She laughed.

Coulson rolled his eyes and sighed, "ok Skye, so tell me then, why'd he betray the team?"

"The incentives program."

Coulson blinked twice, "I'm sorry, what?"

"Yeah," she nodded, "his siblings and I were being threatened so he did this to protect us."

You still have all of me.

"You'll still have limited access because I'm sure that some people here won't be so keen on the idea of you getting free range."

Ward looked flabbergasted as Coulson set an electronic bracelet on his wrist, the kind that Skye had been given when she betrayed the team for Miles.

"And for what it's worth, Ward," Coulson said sincerely, "I really am sorry that we never figured it out."

"Sir, I've done enough that you should be even be letting me get this much freedom."

"Our sources told us that Keonig and Hand were Hydra. Hand was even one of the heads, so we do have something to thank you for."

Ward looked down at his bracelet and gave a small smile at Coulson, "thank you, sir."

"You really should be thanking Skye."

Ward turned his head and noticed that Skye had just walked into the room, "thanks," he said quietly, sending her another one of his smiles that made her heart flutter.

She nodded and smiled, "you're welcome, Robot."

You still have all of me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know this isn't how it went, but a girl can dream!
