"Wait accident?" Ellen asked her face growing pale, "What accident I've been across seas for ten years, what happened??"

Christian's face dropped. He was scared to reply, "Oh god, you didn't know?"
He took a deep breath, "Ellen I'm sorry. Cole died four months ago..."
"Oh Jesus," Kevin said, it was barley audible, "I knew I shouldn't have left the school. I knew something would happen..." His ramblings were lost on his silent tone. It was visible Kevin was distraught, but he seemed oblivious to the conversation around him.

((....you so suck, you know that))
Ellen felt the world around her drop and suddenly she couldn't breath, "I need to get out of the car," she wheezed and started rolling down the window. With a swift movement she was out the window into the air. But she didn't go far, if fact she just fell to the middle of the empty street, and sat there tears falling down her face as she cried.

Christian jumped from the car and grabbed Ellen, holding her in his arms, Kevin shortly behind.
"Hey, hey," he said, trying to comfort her, "It's okay. Just let it all go."
Kevin teared up above them, eyes flowing with saline. He turned and punched the hood of his car, denting it, and letting out a low roar to get out his anger.

"Are you f***ing stupid, it's not okay!" Ellen bawled into her fists that were dug into her weeping eyes, "I loved him! Do you understand that I loved him, I would have done anything for him, and now he's gone!" she finished before sobbing into Christian's shirt, "My husband didn't want me, the governement didn't want me to have my kids, and now Cole's dead!"

Christian held her tighter, "Listen... I was there when it happened. If it makes you feel any better. The last thing he wanted me to do was give you this."
Christian took off a necklace he had been wearing for the past four months, and gave it to Ellen. On it's chain was an engagement ring.
"He told me to tell you he'd 'always love you, even if you loved someone else'."

"How could this happen, no one had the brains to send me a letter or anything!" Ellen thought as the necklace went around her neck and she lost control of her tears and collasped on the ground again, "No, no, why him, if it was an accident I should have been there I could have survived it!" she cried her tears falling onto the street, "How could this have happened, what happened I want to know?!"

"There was nothing to be done about it, Ellen," Christian said loudly, trying to settle her down, "It was Sinister. Me and Cole met up with him in a construction yard, and he tried to drop a load of steel girders on me. Cole shoved me out of the way, and took the shot for me.
"He told me to give you that necklace, but he didn't want to ruin whatever life you had for yourself. He wanted me to make sure you didn't do anything too hasty that might destroy your marriage. I guess he never heard about what happened."

Ellen couldn't stopp shaking as she stared at the ring and chain that was around her neck. She couldn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it. Maybe she had some small hope that when she came back to Xavier's Cole would have been there and it would have bee like old times. It had been a silly hope, but none the less.
She looked a Christian and then looked away the pain too great as her hand closed around the ring.

Christian could feel himself tearing up now as well, "I think he wanted you to wear it, Ellen. He always said he wanted you to."

"Just leave me alone," Ellen said getting to her feet and began walking down the street almost in a sleep walker-type manner.

"Huh-uh," Christian said, picking her up, and tossing her back in the car, "You need to get to a bed, not wander the cold streets! We're going back to the school, and you're gonna take 'er easy, and thats an order!"

Ellen shrugged and just fell over in the back seat, "Whatever," she said still staring at the ring.

Christian looked at Kevin, who was trying feircely to hide his tears, "I'll drive, hang out in the back with Ellen.
Kevin opened the door and started ti sit, but Christian stopped him, "For what it's worth, Kev. I'm sorry."
Kevin nodded and sat down, as Christian took the front seat, and headed for the school.

Ellen felt dead inside and need to reach out to someone to feel like she was still breathing. She lifted herself by her arms and leaned against Kevin, glad there was at least another being nearby.

Kevin held her back, only thankful he hadn't heard about Cole alone. At least he had someone to cry with. He buried his face in Ellen's hair as Christian made his way to the school.
"Just so I'm clear," Kevin said lightly, not wanting to overwhelm her, "You knew he always loved you right?"

Ellen nodded into Kevin's chest but couldn't summon the strength to say anything instead she took Kevin's hand and squeezed it gently.

Kevin smiled a bit, "Crap, I owe him five dollars. He always insisted you did. I just thought he was blowing smoke." He wiped a tear from her eye, and rubbed it onto his shirt. "I'm not hungry anymore."

Ellen snorted a little and gave a sad smile, "I hated him so much I loved him," she finally said.
