JESSE'S POV;
I didn't need powers to know how disappointed and betrayed Graham was feeling, he's soft blue eyes were screaming it to my face.

I hadn't seen him in weeks and when I finally did, I could've said I missed him or something but I didn't. He didn't show it at the moment but I felt him loathing me as I anticipated he's response.

After an awkward silence he finally let his words free."so thats it, thats all you're going to say".

He's voice was uneasy, I barely had the right words to talk myself out of this one.

"You know its starting to feel like nothing else matters to you"
"Graham!" I tried to cut him short but that didn't work ."Dont even start, I wake up every day, thinking of how things would've been different for us, wishing I could get to be with you, I thought you felt the same way but, it seems your getting preoccupied with all of this. If the world needs saving I'm sure you and your little gang would handle it perfectly".

He's words crushed me, different emotions stirred up in me as he turned to walk away, I was angry, sad and a whole lot of broken, I felt my knees tremble, I could barely let out a word without messing it up, he was hurting, and I was hurting as much. I didn't know when I blurted out my words as tears formed in the corner of my eyes.

"You think I'm not hurting by this?, huh. You think my life is as easy as it looks?, like the princess in the castle with bed of roses? Even roses have thorns in them and I wake in pain every day, wishing every thing could just be normal. This is not a choice I love to make, and it's certainly not my life's ambition, but it's a choice I have to make to save not just one person, but every one Ive loved."

He's face softened as cried I my words out, and he pulled me into a warm embrace, he wiped my tear with his hands.
"I'm sorry" he whispered in my ear. I let myself relax in his arms.

GRAHAM'S POV;
Jesse has always been distant, but none of this was her fault, I had no right to put it on her, I was meant to be supportive as much as I could.

After getting her to relax, I asked why they needed my help.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you". She said putting her hand on mine, unable to look me in the eye.

"Try me" I replied, trying to act like I was ready for any thing she was throwing at me.

"For the record, I've only known what I'm about to tell you for a week " she still couldn't look at me, I didn't feel as confident as I was to hear what she was about to say. "What do you mean? " I asked.

"Graham Ryder... Do you want to know what really happened to your parents at their expedition?"..
