Our Secret Dream

Quinn's POV - Your a dead man

My temper is barley hanging together from the bag of mixed emotions coursing through my veins. My blood is boiling. I've never felt so angry in all my life. Sky has always been my sister and the fact that some grade A asshole assaulted her...let's just say he won't get away with it. I'm pacing around the room listening to her, trying to keep my shit together. I know she needs me to be strong but I'm hurting just like she is right now.

I turn away from her facing the wall that I had earlier punched, the dent in the wall looking comforting. I hear Sky say that he grabbed her and manhandled her and I see red. I loose the small control that I had and let the anger consume me. 

I punch the same spot on the wall for a second time and the impact causes a loud thud. I can hear Sky behind me begging me to stop but I need to let out the anger I am feeling inside my body out somehow. She's seen me like this before back in uni but today was different. Today I wanted to kill someone. On the third punch I hear a loud crack come from my hand, it's closely followed with a throbbing sensation and pain. I stop punching and look down at my hand. Fuck, I think I've broke my wrist.

I hold my hand trying to give it some support, ignoring the blood that's dripping down my fingertips onto the floor. I turn around and face my girl. The anger that had consumed me moments ago has now has died down a little and I can think more clearly.

Quinn: You realise Bryan is going to kill him too right? If he hasn't already. I can't promise you Sky that I won't go after him and make sure his life is hell but I can promise you that you have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to any of us. We all love you and that is never going to change.

Skylar: I guess. I just feel exposed and vulnerable.

Quinn: That's normal Sky, I'll help you get through it.

I watch as Sky climbs out of the bed and over to me she grabs my healthy hand and leads us into the bathroom. She tells me to run my hand under the warm water to clean off some of the blood. I should feel the pain in my hand but I can't it's like my brain has numbed me from the sensation. I watch the water change in colour from clear to a deep red as it flows over my hand and then down the drain. The movement pulling me deeper into my thoughts. 

I know what I've done is silly and maybe dramatic but sanity and sense really does go out the window when someone you love gets hurt. The way Sky explained what happened made me feel like I was right beside her when it happened. She's been through so much in her life and yet this happened. I don't even want to think about how I'm going to explain this to Dom, we'd had such an amazing date last night and we actually made it official but now is not the time to tell Sky about that.

I watch her leave the bathroom. She is so strong I honestly don't think I would have survived if I had been in that situation. No matter what happens in Sky's life she always comes back fighting and stronger than ever. I hear her on the phone, probably to the front desk. I hear something about needing a doctor to come and visit our room but that's it. I let out a sigh and look at myself in the mirror. Internally pouting at myself, I was supposed to be the one looking after Sky and yet She's looking after me.
