Ian frowned as he saw that flicker of sadness. He couldn't help following her, his legs moved on their own. Soon he was standing next to Cleo, looking around. He didn't see anyone, but that doesn't really prove that Josh is not watching. He leaned against the wall next to Cleo, hoping the silence would last forever, otherwise he might do something to make the situation worse.

Cleo glanced at him and whimpered under her breath, she reached into her pocket and took out the ring Alex had gIven her, then dropped it on the floor, stamping it into the ground.

Alex opened his eyes and sat up, he looked around and then checked his watch, standing up and grimacing at the throbbing head-ache, he scratched his head and blinked sleepily. With a long yawn he put on his shoes and went to look for Cleo.

[s q u i s h y]

Ian watched her curiously, suddenly remembering. He crouched down next to her, pulling out the necklace Alex had returned to him. "...I found it." he murmured, his eyes flicking around for any signs of someone watching them.

Cleo stared for a second and then shook her head, she saw Alex and jumped up. Alex took one look at her face and just stretched out his arms, letting Cleo grab him and cry into his shirt, "Cleo, why cry... Over something like this...?" he muttered, curling his arms around her, his eyes flickering back and forth between Ian and Cleo.

[s q u i s h y]

Ian stood up, keeping his eyes on the ground. "Told you she wouldn't want it back," he snorted as he walked past Alex. Rose should be up soon, he'd have to go spend some time with her. He walked to the dorms, waiting for her.

Alex glared slightly, he saw Lilith's foster mother's car pull up and then let go of Cleo, going to the car. He picked Dylan out of the car and greeted Lydia with a smile, then said he was taking them to the park, before getting in his car and driving off, his plan was complete, now he could threaten Cleo.

[s q u i s h y]

Ian stopped as he saw Alex drove off, frowning when he saw Dylan too. Completely forgetting about Rose, he went outside, hesitating for a second. But then he grabbed Cleo's hand gently, pulling her into the building as quickly as he can. Then he kissed her. He felt stupid for doing it, what if Josh was still keeping an eye on them, even if they were inside? And what this was doing to Cleo's emotions...he regretted it the moment these thoughts rushed into his head. But he still loved her, he couldn't resist it.

[Alielimo]

Cleo felt hot tears down her cheeks as he kissed her, she still loved him and always would, but she had to stay strong for her kids... She didn't want them to see her cry.

Alex drove to the next town over and went to the park there, he'd take Dylan back to his prepared apartment and tell him that he was looking after him while Cleo was resting.

[s q u i s h y]

Ian pulled back, frowning at the new tears that ran down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Cleo...please don't cry." he whispered, looking around again.

[Alielimo]

"Why... Why do you play with my emotions?" Cleo choked, she shuddered and whimpered.
