You waltz into the room Just like you'd never left And for a moment or two I could almost forget You take me in your arms And I fall again
That's no way to break a heart You call my name I drop my guard Why can't you play your chosen part And stay away so I can make another start That's no way to break a heart
Weren't you supposed to need Something I could not give But now you're lying so close to me And you're taking everything I can't hold on forever For nothing more than this
That's no way to break a heart You call my name I drop my guard Why can't you play your chosen part And stay away so I can make another start That's no way to break a heart
No don't touch me Don't you kiss me Don't you realize That's no way To say goodbye
That's no way to break a heart You call my name I drop my guard Why can't you play your chosen part And stay away so I can make another start That's no way to break a heart
That song was playing over and over in the cd player, Cass leaning against the sink. She was thinking of Ty and how he had left her. She closed her eyes as tears flowed freely. She felt like she was about to collapse. The song stopped and she wiped away the tears. Then the song started again and she scrubbed fiercely at the dishes. Who knew that the song would end up to be ironic...

Ty was in his black eagle morph, heading for one place. Fear overtook him for the first time in 20 years as he demorphed on the porch. He'd walked out on her, and hoped he could make things right. He'd left Guraff in the ship for this. He knocked on the door, hoping Cassandra Raine Ryonas still lived here. Even if she did...she probably found some one better than me. Someone deserving of a girl like her.....

Soon, a knock came on her door. She sighed and wiped at the tears again, making them go away. "Come in!" She was very trusting of the neighborhood and really didn't feel like walking all that way.

Ty knew the voice was hers. It was Cass. No other voice made his heart skip like it had just done. Even after all these years. He opened the door and slowly stepped inside. "Cass?" he called.

Cass froze, and let a plate slip from her fingers and down to the floor. "Oh, My God..." She turned, and as the chorus to the song played again, she walked to the end of the kitchen, and there he was. Her heart stopped, and her breathing reached her ears. Tears came flowing all over again, but she didn't dare move. "T-Ty..."

He felt tears in his own eyes as he saw her. Heard her say his name again. He froze, eyes locked on her. "Yeah...it's...it's me. I'm...I'm home..."

"Home?" She echoed. She slightly shook her head in disbelief. "After leaving me 20 years ago....you still call this home? 20 YEARS, Ty....That's a damn long time to be away from home..." She turned away and worked at cleaning up her mess. Her heart now pounded and was protesting her anger towards him.

"I know, Baby...just...let me explain?" He said, following her. "Look, 20 years ago....the reason I left...I didn't want to put you or Tyler in danger. I...for once in my life, I was afraid. Not for my safety. Me staying her would have put both of you in danger as well...I'm sorry." He looked at the ring on her finger.
Of course, she found someone else... His eyes widened. "That's my ring..." he whispered. "You...you kept it?"

Cass shook her head and looked at the ceiling. "You leaving hurt more than it probably would have if you had just stayed...."
Her eyes actually turned cold. "Yes, I kept it. I loved you, or didn't you know that? And I even have something ELSE of yours too..."
Just then, the door opened. "MOM I'M HOME!"

"No, Baby...I...I did something horrible....the night I left..." Then, she said she had something else of his. Then, he heard a voice.
"Mom..." he echoed. "Oh God....you were...I mean..." He sat in the floor and buried his face in his hands. "I...I'm so sorry..."

Cass closed her eyes. When Serena came in, she stared at the man in the floor. "Wow, Mom....Another guy tried to sleep with you? Will they never learn?" She went to leave, but her mother grabbed her arm gently, yet firmly. "No, Rena....This...is your father." Eyes wide, Serena turned to look at him. "S-Seriously?"
Cass nodded, then turned back to Ty. Her heart went out to him..."Yes, I was pregnant....Serena was conceived the night you left..."

Ty stood up, wiping his eyes. "I...I didn't know...If I had, I never would have left, whether lives were at stake or not. But...if the Antimorphs had found out I had..." His voice trailed off as he looked at his daughter. "Rena..." he said, entranced. "You...you look just like your mother...." He wiped his eyes and hugged her. "I'm so sorry..." He pulled Cass into the hug as well.
"...Forgive me?"

Serena blinked, surprised a little. Then, she hugged her father back. "It's okay."
Cass blinked as well and immediately gave him a hug. "It's...kinda hard to stay mad at you when you do that...." She gave him a weak smile. "Of course I do." Tears streamed down her face and she buried her face into his shoulder. She hated the fact that he had to see her like this.

He rubbed Cass's back. "Well...you've had 20 years to be mad, Baby," he said softly. "I was finally able to come back and make things right. I'm just sorry it took this long..." He buried his face in her hair, hiding the tears trying to form.

Serena felt AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWKWARD. And that was an understatement. Cass, however, felt touched and she snuggled into his chest, and finally, after twenty years, broke down and let it flow freely, without restraint.
