Cole shook his head and knocked on Ellen's door. It had been quite a while since he took the time to knock. They had gotten so close, he usually just meandered on in. He didn't feel that way anymore. Ecspecially not tonight.
"Ellen," he called through the door, "Is it cool if we talk?"

Ellen looked up as someone knocked on her door and sighed. Sh took one last look at th smooth diamond-like substane that was forming on her arms, legs, and torso, before covering herself with a pair of jeans, long sleeve shirt and a pair of gloves, "Um yeah sure come on in," she said when she heard Cole's voice and plopped own on her bed and grabbed a book.

Cole opened the door and entered cautiously, "Hey... I, uh... How are you doin?"
He bit his lip nervously as he walked into the room and sat down on the side of the bed.

"You Joey imperssions will not woe my heart like the first time," Elln said still looking at her book but not really reading, "So what's up, what did you want to talk about?"

Cole shrugged, "You, us. This relationship that seems to be falling apart around us. And how it might affect the team we're now leading..."
He took a deep breath, "Have you been seeing someone else," he asked nervously, noting that he stopped breathing as he waited.

Ellen looked up and blinkd and then back down at her book, "I thought our relationship was ovr ages ago. And for seeing someone else, that's non o your business," she said her voice taking on a sharp note.

Cole's jaw dropped, "Ages ago? It was only a week and a half ago we went out looking for Christian and Amelia! You've been dodging me since then, and I think at least I deserve some sort of explanation."

"Not really," Ellen shrugged looking at her book again, "I'm just bored with us Cole, all we do is fight, make up, fight, makeup, etc etc. I just want to be free from constantly worrying what will set us off on another fight."

"You wanna know why we fight like this," Cole asked, as he grabbed her glove and pulled it off of her hand, and pointed at her diamond-laced skin, "Because you think you're so tough, but you won't even open yourself up to the one person who cares more than any on else here about whats going on!"
Cole shook his head, "I can't believe I actually cared for someone so like me," he said, "Did you even stop to think about letting me know you were with someone else?"

Ellen's eyes went stormy as she grabbed her gloe and put it back on, "It's none of your business what's happening to me. Hell Iris doesn't even know what's going to happen to me, she says it has something to do with my powers taking the next level. And neighter of us know whether or not I'll still be alive once the transfers over. So gues what in the next couple of month Xavier's might have a pretty new statue at the gate!" Ellen growled crosing her arms, "As for seeing someone else, who would want to even touch somethig like me now? Think about that Cole. No person in their right mind would, especially the humans out there. So tell me Cole who do you think I'm seeing, because quite frankly I need a laugh right now!"

Cole sat on the bed and wrapped his arms around her, "I'd still touch you, Ellen," he sighed, "I would still care about you and help you, but if you insist on being this solitary about it, I can't do anything to help you."
He let go of her and stiffled himself because he felt like things were so close to dying around him, "And I only supposed you were with someone else because of the remark you made earlier. About waking up on the wrong side of someone else's bed. You said it wasn't mine, and it hurt. Whether you meant it or not, it hurt. God only knows I wish Christian and Amelia would come back so they could go back to leading this group instead of you and I."
He stood up and faced her, "So, I'll lay it all down for you, Ellen. If you don't want to be with me anymore, just say the word. I'll walk out the door. But remember, I'll still be there for you."

"Goodbye Cole," Ellen said and looked away and stared out the neaby window. She was tired, just tired of everything, her eyes were dry as she stared at a bird building it's nest. She just wished that she knew what was going to happen to her.

Cole walked to the door, and looked down, drawing in a deep breath, "Do me a favor, though, ok?"
He took off the necklace he had fashioned from the clock face of the watch he once gave to Ellen, but broke, and sat it down on a table near the door, "I know you're mad at me and the things that have happened, but just remember that 'time' was what got you and I started, and in 'time', you're gonna be ok. I promise it."
He didn't look back at her as he spoke or lay down the watch. He just stared at the floor. More past the floor than actually at it. He nodded to show he was finished, and walked back out the door, closing it behind him.

As soon as the door clicked shut a tear flowed down Ellen's cheek, she caught the tear in her hand and looked at the tear a little shocked. In her hand was the most perfect pear shaped diamond she had ever seen. With a sigh Ellen leaned over to her desk drawer and put the diamond with the rest. It was what she feared, even her inside were turning into har, cold, diamond.
