Hello once again, this is my second Sue/Reed fic, although this one is a lot sadder. Based on Sue’s line in movie one of, “Did you even feel anything when I walked out your door?” Song used is “Cry” by Faith Hill.

I own nothing you recognise.

Cry

I turned my back on him, not believing that he hadn’t even said anything. But as I turned around, I didn’t see the single tear roll down his check, maybe if I had, just maybe, things could have been different. Maybe we wouldn’t have to have gone through so much heart break that we did to get where we are today….

If I had just one tear
Running down your cheek
Maybe I could cope
Maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery
Would be well spent...yeaaaa

The sound of the door closing behind me echoed around the empty street of his house, it was a long walk back home, but I needed I guess, I needed the time to get other what had just happened. I never wanted it to finish so badly between us, I never wanted to yell at him like I did, but maybe it was what was meant to be, maybe my heart was meant to be breaking…

Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that your feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me

I didn’t go straight to bed when I got home, I stayed outside on the porch, my knees pulled to my chest, tears streamed down my face as I tried to comprehend what had happened what had happened, I probably just lost my only chance to be with the only guy I’ve ever loved… It was too painful to think about. My mind was so lost that I didn’t notice the door open; I didn’t notice Johnny until he sat down next to me and put an arm around me. We sat there in the silent for awhile before I whispered quietly,

“I really thought that this was going to work…”

Johnny seemed to think before he answered, “Then he’s an idiot for letting you go.”

“I think it was my fault though,” I whispered, turning to look at Johnny, tears still streaming down my face, “I walked out on him…”

“Then he should have followed you.” Johnny told her quietly, “Sue, if he really did love you, he would have done anything to keep you…”

I nodded slowly, putting my head on his shoulder I whispered, “I don’t know about him, but I think I always will love him.”

If your love could be caged, honey, I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine

It was true though, I never stopped loving Reed, even when I lost touch with him after collage, even after not seeing him for what seemed like a life time, I always did love him, there was always a place in my heart where I kept they memories. It was like they were all locked away in a little box and I had lost the key in the time that we spent apart. It definitely seemed like that, especially since the box of memories was ripped open when I saw you again…

And you'd cry a little
Die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me

The air was tense as soon as Victor said my name, hey if Reed was feeling the pressure, he didn’t show it, and so I didn’t give him any satisfaction that I still loved him. I steeled myself, and shook his head, my eyes dull of any emotion, my motions not giving away that my heart was beating ten times faster than normal, my face not showing that the box of memories had been ripped open, my face showed no signs of love. It was like nothing had ever happened, and if that’s how Reed wanted to act, I was going to let him. If he wanted to rekindle things then fine, he just had to chase me first.

Give it up baby
I hear your goodbye
Nothing’s gonna save me
I see it in your eyes
Some kind of heartache
Darling give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine

I smiled as I got into the elevator, remembering what Johnny had told me, fro all his annoyingness, he sure was a sweetheart, he always knew they right thing to say to me when I was down and I was sure that he had some wise words for me this time too, after all, if I was going to spend all this time with Reed, I’d have to learn to be able to look at him without my heart tearing in two. I had to learn to keep my feeling under control, to be a closed book…

I sighed as the conversation turned to who would pilot the mission; Ben was going to love this.

“We already have a pilot on our payroll, you remember my brother Johnny.”

I turned and gave them a sweet smile; the look on Reeds face was priceless.

Yeah... Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me

There was a lily sitting in my trash can, that was weird, why would someone do that. I shrugged the feeling off, and looked around my hospital room that was full of flowers, most from Victor. I sighed again thinking of his proposal, was I ready to fall in love with someone else? The way I had rushed to Reeds side told me that I wasn’t, the way I had been disappointed when I found nothing from Reed in my room showed that I couldn’t close the box again, that now it was all out in the opened for all to see. I shook my head, knowing that I would have to close it again, knowing that I had to once again become a closed book, especially if Reed didn’t want anything to do with me.

Okay, so maybe he wanted something to do with me, that much at dinner was obvious, it just seemed he had a rather strange way of showing it. That is, he tried to show it, but it didn’t really work. Maybe all those years ago eh did want to chase me, he just didn’t know how…

But I had more important things to worry about, right? Fundamentally altered DNA was way more important than my love life, at least that’s what my head was telling me. It was rather annoying that me heart didn’t agree.

Cry just a little for me.
Could you cry just a little for me?

“Did you even feel anything when I walked out your door?”

There was a small silence between us, broken as Johnny ran into the lab, Reed nodded, but I hadn’t comprehended what my brother had said, I didn’t even hear what Reed said to me afterwards.

My eyes and mind were locked onto Reed’s eyes, and the single tear that was threatening to fall down his cheek.
