CHAPTER 28
####TRIGGER WARNING####
SKYLAR’S POV
************
“Skylar.” My father yelled from the living room of our house. I was in the kitchen doing the dishes from dinner. A very awkward dinner that we just had with dad and one of his friends that wouldn’t stop staring at me the whole time. I dreaded going back into that room, but I had to.
“Yes, dad.” I said, racing into the living room. Knowing that if I didn’t hurry I would get beaten for it.
“James was wanting a tour of our beautiful home. I told him that you do all the housekeeping. He is impressed and wants you to show him around.” Dad said, smiling. I knew something wasn’t right. Dad never smiled so nicely towards me.
“I’m in the middle of doing the dishes from dinner.” I said.
“That’s alright. They can wait until after your tour.” Dad said, pushing James towards me. So I nodded my head and I started showing James around the downstairs of the house, but he was really interested in what the upstairs looked like.
So I took him upstairs and when we passed the living room I didn’t see dad sitting in there. I didn’t know where he had gone.
So we went upstairs and I showed him the bedrooms and the bathrooms and everything. Until he stopped outside one closed door.
“What’s in there?” He asked.
“That’s my room.” I said, shyly.
“Oh yeah. Your dad told me that you just turned 18. I bet you got a lot of presents. I bet your dad spoils you.” He said, leaning closer to me.
“I guess.” I lied. But he reached over and he opened up my bedroom.
Obviously, that was the bedroom for show. With the nice bed and nice furniture and everything. He didn’t see the closet with the lock on the outside of it.
“Very nice.” He said, grabbing my arm and pulling me into my room.
“What are you doing?” I asked, starting to fight back against him.
“What your father said I could do. You’re my girl now, get used to it.” He said. And he closed and locked the door behind him. He turned back to me and grabbed me by the arms and threw me on the bed.
I tried to scramble to the back of the bed to get away from him but he grabbed my ankles and pulled me back towards him and pinned my arms above my head with one of his hands while he started undoing his pants.
**************
I woke up with a jolt, sitting straight up in bed. I looked around frantically, seeing that I was in my bedroom at Jax’s house and Lucas was asleep beside me. But that didn’t give me the comfort that I needed.
I got up and ran to the bathroom and slammed the door behind me and I leaned over the toilet as I started throwing up.
As soon as there was nothing else left in me to throw up, I leaned back against the cabinets and started to cry.
“Skylar.” Lucas said, running into the room. He saw the vomit in the toilet and that I was leaning against the cabinets crying, so he leaned down in front of me.
“What happened?” He asked.
“I can’t.” I cried out shaking my head so he pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around me. I was inconsolable.
So Lucas just sat on the floor hugging me and rocking me until it stopped. Until I started to calm down.
After a while Lucas went back to the bedroom so I could have a shower and clean myself up and I put on some clean clothes. The other outfit that I owned and I didn’t really say anything to Lucas while he was in the bedroom.
We went downstairs to the kitchen and Jax had finished cooking breakfast and we sat around the kitchen island again. But I just grabbed a cup of coffee.
I still felt really uneasy and my stomach felt like it was in knots. Even just looking at the food made me want to throw up again. I knew that I couldn’t stomach it.
“Is everything alright?” Jax asked, sitting down. But I looked over at Lucas.
“I didn’t tell them anything.” Lucas said. And that got Jax’s and Harry’s attention.
“I had a nightmare last night. Lucas found me in the bathroom throwing up and crying.” I said.
“Damn.” Jax said.
“It was the first time that dad sold me…The first time he invited some guy over to do whatever he wanted to me. That guy, James, said that I was his girl and I better get used to it. That’s why I reacted the way I did yesterday when you said that I was yours.” I explained. And Lucas looked down at the table.
“I just can’t eat and I don’t want to talk about this again. But I know that you deserve an explanation. Especially you Lucas. Since you were the one sitting on that bathroom floor with me for hours this morning until I calmed down.” I said. But he just reached across and started rubbing my back.
When it was time to go to school I sat in the backseat with Lucas and I could sense that they were all looking at me. I was quieter than usual and I avoided looking at them and just stared out the window.
HARRY’S POV
When we got to school we were all keeping a close eye on Skylar. But she stopped walking suddenly and her face started turning a strange pale color and she ran to the girls bathroom without saying anything. She looked like she was going to be sick again.
“I think there’s something else going on here that we don’t know about.” Jax said, standing right beside me. And I nodded my head without saying anything to him.
“She had a nightmare last night and she can’t help the way it’s making her feel. Just leave her alone.” Lucas said.
“Why are you so protective?” I asked.
“Because I was the one sitting on that bathroom floor with her for hours afterwards.” Lucas said. And I guess he had a point. He did see her just after it happened. We don’t know what it was doing to her. And we didn’t know how to approach the subject.
She eventually came out but she didn’t want to talk about it so we didn’t. But we noticed that there was a new guy that we hadn’t seen before. He walked straight up to Skylar and stood in front of her.
“You’re Skylar, aren’t you?” He asked.
“Yeah.” She said, a little weary.
“I’m Bentley. I’m new here today. I was talking to the teacher and he said that you would be the best person to ask. Apparently there’s a history project that we’re meant to be doing at the moment. The teacher said that you would be the best person to partner up with.” Bentley said.
“Did he?” Skylar asked, a little confused.
“He said that you were a straight A student.” He said.
He looked a little nervous when he saw us three standing behind Skylar staring at her, but he didn’t seem to get the hint.
“Um, yeah. Alright. I can help you with it.” She said.
“Great. Do you want to walk to class together? So we can talk about it?” He asked. And she nodded so they started walking towards class and we stood there for a moment watching them.
“That was unexpected.” Lucas said.
“I think we need to educate the newcomer.” I said, staring at them as they were walking to class.
