Chapter Seven
Cole and I both called our contacts and discussed what we were going to do about the break in. The police investigated and are sure that it was a robbery and I just walked in at the wrong time. However, those thugs did say that I was who they were looking for.
" Skye do you think you just misheard them say that?" Cole kept asking me.
"I'll be at Myra's for the week and then I'll go back home." I said. I felt like I was intruding on his personal time.
" Can I just go get water?" I asked. He just nodded and laid down on his bed. I held the railing tight since my ribs still hurt like hell. I mean at least he dropped the topic of them being however they are.
I grabbed a glass off the shelf and started filling it with a pitcher of water from the fridge. I took a sip and immediately spat it out. What the hell was that.
I sniffed it and that's when I realized the pitcher was filled with vodka not water. Well shit. I put it in their dishwasher and decided to look for actual water.
" Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my house?" Asked an angry man behind me. This must be his father. He didn't look like a drunk he looked kind of normal besides his red eyes with bags under them.
" I asked you a fucking question!" He Yelled. I heard footsteps on the steps.
" Skye you okay?" Called Cole.
" Yeah I'm fine." I called back. His dad pushed passed me causing me to wheeze when his elbow hit my stomach.
" Are you my sons slut of the week?" He laughed. " He could have done better." He chuckled.
I took all the courage I had in me and punched him as hard as I could in the face.
"Cole is my friend and I feel so sorry for him since he has to deal with a father like yourself. You have no right to do half the stuff you do to him. You should be ashamed that he managed to become a way better person than you could ever be without any of your guidance." I spat and before leaving I turned around.
" By the way pretending water is in that pitcher should embarrass you enough and be a wake up call." I said looking at his bloody and angry face before storming up the stairs with Cole looking at me curiously.
After filling him in he was beyond pissed.
" Why the hell would you punch my dad! He has connections! God you are so stupid!" He Yelled pacing back and forth in his bedroom.
" You need to control what you do before you do it!" He shouted.
" That's funny coming from you." I spat back. He turned around and headed towards the door.
" Where are you going?" I asked irritated that he was mad at me for doing something anyone should have done years ago.
" None of your god damn business!" He yelled slamming the door shut. That's it. I get he let me stay here yesturday and today but ugh. I was literally defending him I don't understand why he's mad at me.
And what he meant by saying that his dad had connections. During times like this I wish my dad was still around I grabbed my bag and stuffed all my stuff into it before opening his door and heading out of there house.
" Wait! I didn't get your name!" Called his father.
" And you're not getting it!" I called back before hurrying out. The wind greeted my face as it stabbed at my skin.
I pulled my hoodie sleeves over my hands. Once I finally reached Myra's house and broke down in tears. I tried to get control of my self before knocking on the door.
" Skye is that you?" Someone called from the other side of the door and opened it.
" Oh my god it's going to be ok." She said pulling in a hug.
"My life effing sucks." I cried. " It's going to be ok."
She said.
" Skye." Said Someone behind me. It was the soldier that was supposed to be watching me.
" I'm going to take you back to your house and stay overnight to ensure no problems." He said.
" I will allow you to stay here tonight but tomorrow I think it's best if you stay at your house." He said. I just nodded.
" Come in girl and then we can talk." Said Myra. I walked inside with her and we sat on her bed. We walked into her beautiful room where she had fairy lights hanging up around her bed and a large desk covered in bath and body works hand sanitizers. On her lavender wall was a picture of Clint, Myra and I. We had our faces covered in s'mores and chocolate.
"I miss those days."she said noticing I was looking at it.
" Me too." I smiled.
" Whats got you down?" She asked me taking a seat down next to me on her bed.
"People broke into my house and tried to kidnap me or worse. I managed to get away and I called Cole, I'm not sure why I did though. Then he came and we went to his house to try and figure out what's going on. But then I met his father and let me tell you he is not a nice person, and I may have punched him in the face which got Cole mad and he left and is mad at me now. So yeah I'm so sorry for intruding like this I just..I just didn't know where else to go." I said quietly as silent tears ran down my cheeks.
"Wow." Is all she said pulling me into her side for a hug.
" I'm calling Clint and we are going to have a sleepover." She said dialing his number. When she hung up we heard her little sister start screaming. We hurried out to make sure she was okay when we noticed she was yelling at paw patrol on the TV.
" Karlie you got to calm down munchkin." Myra said pointing down at her 4 year old sister.
" But but." She rubbed her eye.
" The Awnimal awmost dwied." She cried.
"It's just a show I'm sure that animal is all happy in its dressing room right now." Earning a laugh from me.
" Skwye!" She Yelled running to me. I scooped her up in my arms and tossed her in the air earning a giggle to escape her lips. Her dark brown curls were put into pig tails. She was so cute.
" I think Clint's at the door." She said walking over.
" Hey guys." He said while taking off his sneakers.
" Lets watch greys anatomy." He said causing us it laugh.
"Season 15 here we come." He chuckled.
" Oh I also brought twizzlers he said tanking them out of his pocket.
"You are a god." Laughed Myra.
My phone started buzzing in my pocket. I pulled it out of my pocket to see who was texting me only to see the one and only Cole.
C-Where are u???
C-look I didn't mean to be a jerk
C-please answer
C- I just need to know ur not dead
C- I swear to god if you don't answer
Jeez is all I thought.
S-I'm at a friends house
C-why
S-"It's none of your f-wording business"~Cole Black.
C-Hahahaha now wtf are u????
S- U don't need to worry about me.
Is all I said before shutting my phone off.
" Who were you texting." Asked Clint.
" No one important." I said and took a twizzler out of his hands.
" Let me guess, Cole?" Asked Myra and I gave her a dirty look.
" Wait when did that happen?" Clint asked sitting up from laying down on the couch.
" After the party we started getting closer and then I was staying at his house last night after mine was robbed then he was being a complete jerk and now I'm here." I said in one breath.
" What?!?!? Your house was robbed? Wait did you just say that you stayed in the one and only Cole blacks house?" He Yelled. I just nodded.
"Damn girl." He said while chewing a twizzler.
" Did He have any dead bodies in his house? What about prostitutes? Money on the walls?" He asked me standing up making Myra and I burst out into laughter.
" Guys you know what we should do make s'mores." She said pulling both of our arms towards the door. I'm just going to get a lighter I'll be right back." She said leaving us on her outdoor furniture.
" I miss your dad." Clint blurted out.
" I'm sorry I shouldn't have said..." I cut him off saying, " I miss him too." We both hugged.
" He's in a better place now. That's all that matters." He smiled.
" I'm back!" Yelled Myra running out with a bag of jumbo marshmallows, sticks, a box of chocolate and graham crackers with the lighter on top of the stack of stuff in her hands.
" Let's do this!" Clint shouted.
" Skye!" I heard someone yell in the distance.
" Did you guys here that?" I asked. We all stood up and starting walking towards where the person calling my name was.
I recognized the black truck parked in front of the house. Coles truck.
" It's Cole." I Whispered.
" Did you tell him you were here?" She asked and I just shook my head no. I walked around the house to see Cole standing on the front porch.
" Skye." He said walking over to where I was.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
" I'm here to bring you back to my house." He said.
" I'm staying here." I said back to him.
" This is not up for argument." He said starting to pull me towards his car.
" You don't effing own me I can do what I want and don't need your approval!" I Yelled at him.
" Well there could possibly be some guy after you for all we know." He snapped.
"Cole, I get that you want to make sure I'm okay but I can hang out with my friends it's safe here."I said taking a step closer to him.
" Just come back to my house tomorrow then." He asked and I just shook my head.
" That guy that's supposed to be watching me wants me to go home tomorrow and he's going to stay the night to make sure nothing happens." I said.
" Then I'll stay with you." He spoke looking dead serious.
" You don't have to do that." I said feeling kind of bad for making him sacrifice his free time.
" Bye." I said and he pulled me into a hug surprising both of us. He jumped when we heard gasps behind us.
" Um bye." He mumbled hurrying to his car. Once he drove away the questions started.
" I knew you said you guys got closer but that seemed very close. Are you guys dating and you didn't tell me!" Myra shrieked.
"He also seems very possessive over her is that just me or am I crazy." Clint mentioned to Myra.
" He is not. And we are not dating!" I said feeling my face turn red from embarrassment.
" Aw she's turning red." They both laughed.
"You guys are going to be the end of me." I laughed. Since it's a school night we headed to bed. The three of us on a queen bed was something we never ever want to do again.
" Skye Stop elbowing my stomach." Clint whined. Elbowing me back causing me to wince.
" You good I didn't realize I did it that hard." He apologized.
" I'm fine just got a little hurt with the idiots that broke into my house." I said.
" What did they do?" Myra Asked. I lifted my shirt up to show them the bruises.
" Oh my god. Did you go to a hospital?" She asked and I just shook my head.
" You should go see a doctor and make sure nothing serious happened." She muttered before her snores started sounding through the room. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but it wasn't working.
Clint was asleep and so was Myra. I turned over so I was facing the pillow. I looked at my phone seeing it glowing. I scooted off the bed over Clint and grabbed my phone off of Myra's desk. I saw Claire's caller ID on my phone and I picked up.
" Claire?" I asked
" Skye! You need to get out of the house now!" She Yelled.
"I'm not home right now. What's going on?" I asked frantically.
" The soldier that's supposed to be watching you isn't who he is supposed to be. We found the real Captain John's body. Whoever that is, it isn't really him. I making my way home now be careful and if you see him call the police." She said.
"Claire he knows I'm here." I said getting nervous.
"I have cameras set up in the house and he's in the living room." She said breathing a breath of relief.
"Wait a minute what time is it there?" She asked.
" It's a re-run he must've seen the cameras that asshole." She said making my stomach flip.
" He doesn't know we know does he?" I Asked freaking out.
" Skye what's wrong?" I heard Myra ask turning on the lamp.
" Claire I got to go, I'll call you if anything happens, bye." I said.
" Bye call if anything happens." She said ending the call.
" That soldier that was here earlier isn't the real guy. He killed the real one." I said freaking out.
" Oh my god." She said.
" He knows we're here." She muttered. I just nodded.
" We should get out of here. My moms working the night shift at the hospital so she won't be home." She said running out of the room to grab her sleeping sister.
I woke up Clint and then we all headed out of her house. Once we got into her car she sped down the street towards Coles house. I had called him filling him in on the situation. We pulled into his driveway and knocked on his door.
" come in." Cole said. " My rooms the first on the left upstairs." He said to Clint and Myra. They nodded and walked up the steps.
" Why do I have such bad luck." I mumbled leaning my head in my hands.
" You have awful luck but your dealing with it and that's what matters unlike most people you aren't letting all these problems destroy you." He said causing me to turn red.
" you know your a lot nicer than you let on." He just smiled leading me into the kitchen.
