Never forget you

Chapter 13: Knight

I'm fuming.

How could I have been so goddamn stupid?

I run my fingers through my hair before growling and throwing my fist through the wall. I have no idea who's house this is but they just got a new addition to their bedroom. Whoops.

I shake out my hand, my knuckles cracked and bleeding from the drywall. Damn. Why the hell did I do that?

Because she makes you crazy!

I can't help but agree with my subconscious. Skye does make me crazy. I had no plan on following her up here, let alone kicking the other guy out but as soon as I watched her come upstairs, it was like something clicked inside of me. Something controlling and possessive. I needed to stake claim.

When we didn't see each other it didn't matter. She could be with whoever she wanted because she was the furthest thing on my mind. At least that's what I constantly told myself.

But when I saw her with that guy tonight it was like everything came flooding back. Everything from that night. And I just couldn't take it. I had to do something. I should have done something that night but instead I was angry and a fucking pussy and I walked away.

I shake my head to try to get rid of the images but they're still there. Where they always are. Eating at me. Taunting me.

Skye and I had just made love...or rather, what I thought was making love. I told her I loved her after we lost our virginity to each other. Something that lasted all of five seconds at the most for me. I cringe at the thought.

She looked up at me with a glisten in her eye and I thought that she was going to say it back but then we heard rustling in the woods and hurried to get dressed. We raced out of our spot by the lake and ran back to the cabins. The counselors were getting everyone ready "bed time," no doubt they knew that we snuck out all the time to hang out and do stupid shit. I just don't think they really cared. We had found a few counselors sleeping together over the years at camp so I guess they figured that as long as no one was dying and pretended to follow all the rules we could literally do whatever we wanted as long as they got to.

So after the lights went out and the counselors went back to their cabins on the other side of camp I snuck out of my cabin to go meet Skye. But when I heard her voice at the snack station I paused. I figured she had gone in to get us something special while we hung out at our spot but as I got closer I heard another voice. A voice that I recognized. A voice that I hated.

Ian Boulder.

The guy had been hitting on Skye every year since we were eight and she paired with him for our camp game tournament. Every damn year it was the same thing. I had to watch him be pathetic and try everything in his power to get her attention. Skye was always nice to him. She could never see through the façade like I did. She always thought that Ian was just being nice and that all he wanted was to be her friend. But I knew different. I knew how boys minds worked. I knew he thought she was pretty. And as we got older I could see the lust he felt for her. The pull he so desperately wanted to have over her.

I guess things changed that summer because when I got to the door of the snack station I saw Skye kissing him. Her back was to me but Ian saw me clear as day. His eyes shimmered in victory as my heart crumbled to the floor.

The girl I had been in love with my entire life. The one I had just given my everything too and told I love you too was making out with a guy mere minutes after we had just been together.

In an instant my mood went from upset and broken to pure rage. I turned around quickly and stormed off back to my cabin. I paced and paced not knowing what to do or how to calm down. I ended up waking Niko up that night and telling him everything that happened. He suggested we go for a walk and get out before Skye came looking for me and caused me to make a scene.

After that I ignored her until the end of summer, which wasn't long considering we only had a few weeks left and I haven't seen or talked to her since she ran into me and spilled her coffee all over me.

My hands fly into my hair once more as I let out a growl. Fuck. I haven't thought about all of that in a long time but seeing her with that guy brought it all back. I didn't do anything then but I needed to do something now even if I do hate her. That's why I stormed up here.

I had no intention on kissing her. On things getting so hot and heavy but the second she got in my face. The second we were so close. It was like all control vanished. Everything disappeared and the only thing that I knew was that the girl I once loved was standing in front of me and all I wanted was to taste her once more. It was a split second weakness. A moment that I can't say I regret because shit, Skye Davis is the epitome of heaven for me.

I can try to fight it all I want but she's never going away. Whether she's in my presence or not, she will always be a piece of me. Someone that I can never forget. She holds too many memories. Too many feelings for me. I know I need to stop this. Call a truce or something but I just can't. This girl broke me once upon a time and I won't stop until I get the satisfaction of doing it to her too, no matter what else I feel toward her.

Now I just have to get my dick and my mind on the same page and come up with another plan. She ran out of here so fast I know that what we did affected her too but I'm not sure I can go that route without it affecting me too.

Shit I'm stressed. I need to clear my mind.

I hustle down stairs, my hand still throbbing from the wall. When I spot Niko I motion for him to come over. When he reaches me, I smirk at him.

"What's up man?" He eyes me skeptically, like I'm some sort of serial killer who just found their next victim.

"Stop looking at me like that fucker."

"Well you're being all creepy. And I just watched you chase Skye up the stairs so excuse me if I'm a little cautious."

I push him. Asshole. He knows damn well I would never do anything to hurt a woman physically. Let alone Skye.

I shake my head, "I need to clear my head. Wanna go get a tattoo or a piercing with me?"

Niko grins, "How 'bout both?"

I chuckle, thinking about the perfect things to get. "I'm down. Let's go." He claps my shoulder before we make our way out of this ridiculous party leaving Reese and Shane to fend for themselves. Assholes are probably already deep inside some girl right now, they'll find their way and catch up later.

"You know what you're gonna get?" Niko asks as we get to the car. My smile widens as the image of what I want comes to mind. "Yeah. I know exactly what I'm getting." We hop in the car and head off.

My grin holds the entire ride to the tattoo parlor and all I can think is...I can't wait to see her reaction when she see's it.
