Markus McClure That day was probably the slowest day in the history of slow days. I mean, yeah at the time I kinda enjoyed the peace and quiet even though I knew something was wrong. The past month or so was really stressful. I had to pay for some damage I had caused at a nearby bar. I vaguely remember a cocky little shit had and his hot girlfriend. I had also heard that he and she had a bit of a falling out. It's a shame I don't remember the girl's name or even what she looked like. I'd definitely try and go for the kid's sloppy seconds. So anyway, I was just sitting at my desk, tapping my fingers one by one on the hard surface. For hours I had been doing the same thing. Finger tap, read, check my phone, gaze out the window for 5 minutes, and repeat. It was almost closing time when I looked up from my phone and noticed this dashing, vaguely familiar pink haired beauty looking in my shop windows and staring at the sign. She looked at my little OPEN/CLOSE note and immediately started walking away. I was almost certain someone normally doesn't show that much interest in a shop, notice the sign says OPEN, and then walk away. It made no sense. Quickly I got out of my chair and pushed it under my desk, run-walking to the door I poked my head out and shouted to the lady. “Hey ma'am! Can I help you?”

Deleny Micks
Deleny gripped the silver necklace in her hand tightly, snug it its black velvet box. Nathan had given it to her for her birthday but since it didnt look like they were getting back together then she didnt see the point in keeping it. Especially since it had their innitials engraved into the silver. A sapphire pendant hung from the chain, her favourite gemstone, and diamonds surrounded the tear drop shaped blue gem. She had always thought it was a little over the top, having a preferance for simpler jewelry, but she'd kept her mouth shut.
Deleny had always been walking on eggshells while dating Nathan, any wrong word would send him into an emotional meltdown. After the whole episode with that drunk guy, everything went downhill. Nathan had accused her of sleeping with the guy almost every time she went home. Of course she denied it, but the accusations drove her to thinking about what it would be like with someone else. Eventually the tensions between them peaked and they had a huge fight that involved flinging table ware at each other along with food and scrambling avoxes to clean up the mess. She slept most the time in her small apartment now, throwing away all of the things from her last relationship which turned out to be more than she thought.
Now she stood looking at the closed sign of the door, but there was a guy behind the counter. At the second glance, she recognized the main culprit of the causes that ended her relationship with the game maker, Markus, looking bored. Stiffly, she turned and continued walking to the next jewelry store around the corner. Living in the capital, there were ton's to pick and choose from. She stopped when she heard a voice calling out to her.
Turning, Deleny though ah fuck it and walked up to Markus. She didnt have to avoid certain guys to please a momentary mate any more in fear of drama, and she was back in the market anyway. She held up the small velvet box. "Am I able to sell here? I want to get rid of this, brings up... too many memories."

Markus McClure "Uh, no...Not usually. But I guess for a pretty lady like yourself I'll make an exception this one time." I put on my winning smile and motioned for her to come into the shop. She seemed a little hesitant but probably realized I was a little impatient and walked right over. The pink-haired girl took a stand right in front of my desk and I took my usual spot direct behind it in the soft, comfy chair. While I fetched my price list to check the general price of her gorgeous necklace, she tapped her dainty little fingers on the hard wood. One by one I checked each gem stone including the silver chain. "Wow...this is a magnificent piece. Nearly one hundred years old. An antique! This is worth quite a lot!" As I typed in the prices for each component on the necklace, I started to turn it over and examine it more clearly. On the back, inscribed into the silver were four letters. 'NY + DM'."Ah so someone gave it to you. Who's the lucky guy?"

Deleny Micks
"No one of importance..."
Deleny couldnt help but look around the jewelry shop as the precious gems winked at her teasingly. One caught her eye specifically, a beautiful sapphire cut to form a rose. A sapphire rose, the deep blue shimmering at her with its mysteries. "Do you.. make all these?" She glanced up at Markus then back down to the sapphire rose. "If so you have quite a talent. I've never seen anything so beautiful."
The sapphire teased her on its silver chain, and the temptation just to hold it became too great; her hand pressed against the glass casing as she admired the gem. "You're really good... to get something so small cut so precicly in all the angles in the delicacy of that of a rose..."
Deleny shook herself and mumbled an apology, looking down at her shoes. "I dont think you remember me... do you?"click for outfit!

Markus McClure She kinda just brushed off my question. The way she answered told me that whoever the guy was was no longer in the picture. It made me feel kinda bad for asking. She quickly turned her attention to the gallery of hand-made jewelry posted on the walls around my shop. I followed her gaze to one of my best pieces of work, a smooth dark blue sapphire carved into the shape of a rose imprinted into silver and strung on a thin silver chain. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with admiration and she complimented me on my work. "Why thank you. It really takes a strong, yet nimble hand..." And that's when she dropped the bomb. I had stood up to get the necklace when she asked the question that shook me to the core. All of the sudden, everything flashed before my eyes. I knew who this girl was...She had the same look in her eyes that she had months ago when she had found her beaten, bloody boyfriend hobbling home after encountering a crazy, stupid drunk. I knew this girl. "Oh...Oh my god." I started to choke up a little. This had greatly shocked me. For months I tried to remember that night but couldn't. "Deleny...Um...I'm so sorry...I really hope you've got it in your heart to forgive me. I mean, I was drunk, stupid and angry. I really hope I didn't hurt you or Nathan too much. My personality...I'm different than that." I dropped the necklace on the desk and collapsed in the chair. For some reason, I did something I hadn't done in a long time. I don't know why, I had no reason to, but sobbed silently. I felt terrible.

Deleny Micks
Deleny felt a soft chuckle escape her lips as the shock settled into Markus's face. Clearly he was startled by the memories coming to light. She glanced about the shop nervously before stepping towars his huddled form, sobbing like a child who'd gottent heir toy taken away. Damnit why do I always have to attract the losers... Nathan had been insecure about everything, always making sure she wasn't going to run off and leave him in the dust, and now this... She cleared her throat and knelt down infront of him, taking hold of his rather large hand. "Hey... hey. It's alright. People make mistakes, there's nothing wrong with that.... besides, you helped me get out of a dead end situation ya'know..?"

Markus McClure It has been a very long time since I have cried, and I don't even know why I was crying. The sudden rush of memories and Deleny standing here not hitting me after I ruined her relationship really rattled me. Fortunately I wasn't like that for long. Quickly I pulled myself together. "What exactly do you mean by that? You two really seemed to have something together. I mean, he was a bit of a wus but it looked like you two really were in love...Actually, forget about it. Sorry I asked." There was a short moment of silence. I sat there toying with the necklace Deleny had taken a liking to and she stood there biting her lip. "You know what..." I said looking up from the necklace and gently grabbed her hand. Slowly I dropped the thin silver necklace into her palm and closed her fingers. "Please, take it. Consider it a token of my appreciation and hope that we can get to know each other a little more." With that I gave her my usual winning smile.

Deleny Micks
Tears had managed to seep out from behind her eyes, and she quickly wiped them away before anyone could notice. Suddenly the sapphire rose was in her hand. "I... I can't take this. It's not about what you're saying. It's the fact that i cant take something so valuable when something better can be gained from such a beautiful piece. Besides, I'm no prostitute you can buy with jewelry."
Deleny rolled her eyes thinking of what he'd said before and trying to hide just how much loosing Nathan had hurt her. She would never admit it, but she missed him terribly. His sensativity to everything were what drew her to him, despite the careless way he lhad let his insecurities control him, yet it had been their downfall. His accusations had pierced her heart multiple times until the only thing left were the sheds that remained, her heart torn apart with each passing insult. As he had stormed away from her for the final time, she'd fallen to her knees, begging for him to believe her. The tears had run down her face, mixed with the icy rain. No matter what she had said, no matter how many times she'd reassured Nathan that she was his and only his, she could still see the pain in his eyes. It was a fruitless effort trying to convince him of something he was so headstrong about. He had been so worried of loosing her that he did the very things that had driven her away, yet she still loved him with every shattered piece of her broken heart that remained.
Her face was a mask of emotionlessness. The ghost of a smile tracing her lips, yet revealing nothing as she looked down at the floor. She was able to hide her emotions well, except in her eyes; for her eyes were the windows that showed her very soul to the world. "Okay so maybe it wasn't so much of a dead end situation as i said. He let his insecurities... eat him from the inside out. He'd always thought i would leave him, and i always swore that i wouldnt but now... Well there wasn't the trust that used to be there. It's not you're fault though Markus. It was a number of things. Like he couldn't accept that while i was with him, everyone else was calling for my attention as well. That probably sounds concieted but since puberty everybody stares. Boys. Girls. I cant help that. He couldn't handle that fact." She leaned against one of the glass casings. "I tried to make it work.. I really did, but sometimes things just arent meant to happen even if they seem so right..."
Deleny wrapped her arms around herself, as if her own embrace could hold herself together. "Like i said though.. if it's anyones fault; its mine. Maybe if I'd been more flexable with him then things could have worked out.." She thumbed the teardrop necklace, deciding not to sell it after all. Things could still work out between her and Nathan right? This was just a rough patch.. yeah thats it. A rough patch to be passed over. After all, every relationship has its problems.
With a stealy resolve, she looked back up at Markus. "Sorry to bother you with all this.. but there's somewhere I need to be. I'll Keep.. in touch?" With a quick nod, she set the sapphire rose back on the counter, almost running towards the door. "I will keep in touch though!"
Once she was out the door, Deleny sped to a steady jog through the streets of the Capital until she reached a very familiar looking building. Nathan's house... It was eerily quiet, daunting in its huge estate and looked forbidden to her. A slight hesitation quivered in her wrist, but she swallowed and knocked on the heavy front door.

Nathan Young
The poor boy sat alone in the dimly lit room sketching a new map for another succesful year of the games.IT was all he ever did anymore. Since the fight. The distrust. Yet he loved her so much. It was sickening to think he lost everything because he couldn't trust her for something. Something he knew wasn't true but had come to fool himself to believe. Like a joker's mask who could be funny and scary all at once in a simple bundle. They always seemed to have the creepy music too. Guess that was Nathan after all. A boy who felt he wasn't good enough for a girl as wonderful as Deleny, one so insecure he wasn't perfect for anyone and had told himself no one ever again.
Then in the dark, cold room came a doorbell. One of the girl he had once fallen in love with. Someone so dear to him tears started streaming down his cheeks in a burst of a cascading waterfall. She had tore his heart out as he slowly slid the black rolley chair towards the desk and slowly made his way to the greenish lime colored door. His eyes went cold as he looked her straight in those big blue eyes and let the mean words slip his lips. "What do you want?" He started to choke now, holding his throat with his long boney fingers. "Your no one I want to get close to again twat," Quickly he walked away the door still open as he made his way to the couch and wiped away the tears. His large condo apartment was still the same and his small mangy mutt still slept in her bed and snored. It was all the same in the home... even without Deleny.
10 minutes and he started to wonder if she had left. Probably had as he sat there munching on his finger nails. He started thinking about her more and more as he lets his feelings take over. Those bright blue eyes gazing up at him. The small frame of a girl with cuves and bright lushious pink hair. "I miss her..." He whispered softly and burst into more tears, choking on them when he heard something. Maybe she had decided to come back?....

Deleny stood there in the doorway for some time, listening to the sounds of whimpering in the depths of the home. When she heard an "i miss her" she swallowed hard and walked into the door. The house was the same as when she left it, tidy and neat from the cleaning marathon she went through just before the fight. Only now... now there was a coldness in the air. Lonely and desolate. Alone. She marched to stand infront of him with her hands on her hips.
"So thats it then? After everything we've been through together, you're going to let your insecurities ruin everything for us? Nathan I would never do anything to hurt you that way. I would never cheat. I dont sleep around. You know that i stick to one person! Nathan, you are everything to me." Tears rolled down her face as she looked at the ground, her hands dropping to clenched fists at her sides. Still she trekked onward valiantly. "Don't throw this all away because you have to be the victim. Well you're not the worlds victim! You're my Nathan, what we have isn't something that comes along often. I.. I love you. I still do, and I'll never stop loving you. Why the hell do you have to think that I'd go out and cheat on you with a complete stranger? I love you so fucking much Nathan and you're shattering the already broken shards of my heart repeatedly with every second that passes with us in this... state."
Deleny's tears flowed like the Mississipi, strong and steadfast. "This doesn't have to be this way. Things can work out still. Please don't do this to me.. to us..."
