Lewis led Wren into their room and plopped down on the bed. Lately, he had noticed something different about her. She didn't seem to be as happy as she once was and he could tell something was bothering her.
"Wren?" he asked, looking at her somberly. "I know something's wrong. Tell me what it is. Please. If it's something I've done, I can change, I know I can. I only want to make you happy."
He bit his lip, hoping that everything would be ok and this was just a misunderstanding on his part.

Wren looked completely miserable. She was pale, and felt sick just thinking about telling him what she was about to.
"No... It's me... It's my fault... It's all my fault... I'm so sorry! I don't know what else to do..."

"You haven't done anything wrong though," Lewis said, starting to panic when he saw how pale she was. "I promise, you've done nothing wrong. Why do you feel this way?"
He didn't know why, but for some reason, he wanted to start crying. He felt something bad looming in the air in the room.

"I figured out... why I don't want a family... Or... At least I think I figured it out." She held him close, tears falling down her own face as well.
"I know you won't be happy... until you have a family... I want you to be happy too... You say you're content with just me... But... I know you're disappointed. I am too. I love you, Lewis...I always have."

Lewis' eyes searched her face frantically for some form of rhyme or reason.
"What are you saying?" he asked. "I AM happy with you. Yeah, I was disappointed at first, but if you don't want kids, then I don't need them."
His voice was getting higher than normal and he began to talk faster. A tell tale sign of being scared.

"Lewis..." She couldn't bare to look him in the eyes as she said these next words. "I... I think we should start seeing other people... Maybe... It's for the best and... I'll find out what I'm missing... But.... Just for now... For a while... I can't be with you."

Lewis' breath got caught in his throat, and he was pretty sure his heart stopped beating for a minute there. Surely he heard her wrong. Surely she didn't say what he thought she said. Did she?
"What.... what do you mean?" he asked, hoping that she would come out and say that she was kidding. Yeah, he'd be mad about the joke, but at least it wouldn't be true. "W-why?"
He was shaking a little bit now and the desparation could clearly be heard in his voice.

"I... I don't know... I'm perfectly happy with you... I love you... but... I... I think... I don't know... I... Can't explain it... I just... don't know... what else is out there... It's always been us... living in our own little bubble and... I can't help but wonder what it is I'm missing..." She knew it hurt for him to hear that and she knew it hurt her to say it... but he deserved to know the truth of what was going on in her heart.
"I love you and... I..." She looked completely pathetic trying to explain herself to him... Nothing she said now would matter. She just ended his world... and she knew it... And that's why she could bare to look at him... to see the damage she had done...
"I'm sorry..."

"But... but..." he said, trying to come up with a coherent sentance. "I thought what we had was good. We didn't fight. We were happy. Do you know how many people want that?"
He sounded selfish and he knew it. But dammit... he loved her. He couldn't just let her go like this. It wasn't FAIR.
He felt his nose running a bit, so he sniffled it back. His nose only ran like that if he cried. And he was, infact, shaking with silent tears.

Wren went to hold him.
"I... I know... I just... It's the only thing I can thing to solve this. I can't be with you without feeling guilty. Maybe time appart will just make me appreciate how much I needy you but... I.. I need to KNOW..."

And then Lewis did the unthinkable. He pushed her away when she came towards him. He shocked himself a little by his own action, but didn't apologize for it.
"Then I... I guess I understand," he said after composing himself as best he could. His eyes were still leaking a bit, but he put on a brave face. "Go then, don't stay in this for me. If you're not happy then... then I guess it's for the best."

Wren looked terrified. She had never seen Lewis act in a violent manner... Especially not to her. She wanted to say more. She wanted to comfort him. She wanted to tell him that it wasn't him that made her unhappy... But she was so horribly shaken by the shove he had given her, even if it hadn't been that hard, that she quickly turned and left the room, her hands on her mouth and eyes to hold herself from crying as she left.
What had she done?

Once Wren was gone and he was sure of it, Lewis collapsed backwards onto the bed and cried himself. He rolled himself up in the comforter on the bed and smelled the aroma of Wren for the last time.
After a while of doing this, he sat up and whiped away the last of his tears. His eyes were red and puffy and his nose was still running, but at least he was ok for now.
He needed someone to talk to. Someone to be on his side. A friend. He remembered that Kemis was gone for the night, but he needed to talk to him.
He went over to Wren's window, climbed on top of her dresser to reach it and crawled out. He dropped down on the ground, landing on his feet like a cat would, and instantly took off to the places he thought Kemis might be.

Kemis had driven his motorcycle until it was completely out of gas, getting off of it with a laugh of excitement. Riding it never got old. He used to ride it for the chaos... But there was a different pleasure there... Perhaps knowing he didn't HAVE to ride it for that reason anymore... The fact that you no longer feel that if something happened and you were to die, it would just be a relief... He was free now and that ride had just reminded him of how happy that made him. If he hadn't run out of gas he would have gone on for days. Maybe he needed to plan a road trip! Man, Lewis might like that! A guy trip! How cool would that be?
He was pushing his motorcycle to a gas station not far from the shop when he saw someone running frantically down the road.
"What the gorram hell?"

Lewis felt like his heart was about to burst. A Motorcycle was fast, and he managed to track it down and keep up with it. He must have been super Oneroi.
As exhausted as he was, he still managed to give out a yell.
"Kemis!" he called out. "Wait for me!"
