Previously.....

Varro hit the lights as he walked into his hotel room. He jumped slightly at the figure seated on the sofa. "Apple?"

Captain Apple MacIntosh stood and sighed. "I take it you are not spending the night at Mr. Jones' house?"

Varro sighed and shook his head, "That's why you insisted I go to that Lounge."

She grinned, "Betazoids are powerful telepaths but even the most basic one could tell you two have sparks. Besides it's time, you need to stop mourning that jackass of a man." At Varro's outranged expression Apple sat down. "Come here Varro, we have to talk and you're not going to like what I say..."

And now the continuation...

He glared at Apple. "It's one in the morning. I'm tired and I need rest." Varro knew that he didn't want what she was selling.

"Talk first." She said standing up and going to the replicator getting herself a drink. "Why are you not with Mr. Jones?"

"Apple how many times must we go through this?" Varro asked weakly. He was starting to get a headache.

Apple sighed. "Varro, listen to me. You need to let go. You need to face the fact that Marcus was an ill tempered, mean, drunk of a man who took pleasure in tormenting those that loved him. How is it that you still defend that...that son of a bi...."

"Enough!" Varro who'd been sitting rose, "You have no right to speak of him that way. He had issues yes, he had problems but he would have changed! If I had waited, if I hadn't agreed to break up with him long distance...I broke his heart, he was off his game and..."

Apple looked at Varro her jaw had hit the floor. "Do you realize what you are saying? Varro!" She yelled back, "You are saying the shuttle crashed because you broke up with him? I don't understand you. He was cruel to you, he even hit you! I know you loved him, you wanted him desperately to change. After all the stuff with your family you wanted someone, you feared being alone I know all..."

Varro's green eyes turned positively emerald as they did when he was angry, "Do not! I repeat, do not presume to know me! I am not..." He rubbed his chest suddenly feeling an icy pain.

"You need to let go of that idiot's memory. The bastard is dead and still from the grave he influences your life. Forget him, he was a no good piece of garbage. I knew him longer then you did Varro. The only reason I stayed friends with that dragon was to get you out of his clutches. He was a leech, a snake!"

"Get out!" Varro screamed. His face reddening and then turning pale as snow. "Get out of my room!"

"With pleasure!" Apple grabbed her coat and headed out. She hadn't made it 10 steps before she realized she'd forgotten her purse. Angry with herself she started back.

The room spun, it twisted and turned around him. The icy pain in his chest was spreading down his arms, down his stomach down his legs. Suddenly white orbs of light invaded his vision. His breathing turned into gasps of pain and panic. This was no panic episode. He stumbled a few steps forward and then crashed down to the floor his head thudding onto the cold ground.

There was a sound...it was in the distance. He tried to hold on, tried to crawl to it. The white orbs shifted into a familiar face. The smile of an ex lover, a smile laced with cruelness and a cold calculating edge to it. Laughter filled the room and a voice echoed through his mind.

"You'll never amount to anything. Without me your just some weak piece of garbage. I own you Varro, don't think you can survive without me!"

The world went dark.

Apple waiting outside ringing the chime again. She huffed feeling angry. He was just making her wait. She punched in the code she'd used to get in earlier and entered the room.

She shuffled into the living room area and was just reaching for her purse when she noticed a hand on the floor. She moved to see behind the sofa and screamed. "Varro!"

Apple was down on her knees beside him. She called for medical help and began CPR, he wasn't breathing. She pushed away the panic that clawed at her. "Stay with me Varro!" She said between breaths.
