Never forget you

Chapter 21: Skye

"Alright you two. I have to head to work now, the storm looks like it's getting pretty bad so I need to make sure I get there in time. Skye, babe, the flashlights are under the sink and there's some candles in the closet by the bathroom upstairs if the power goes out," I smiled at Aunt Lacey but my face dropped as she turned to Knight and said, "If you feel uncomfortable driving in the weather you are more than welcomed to spend the night. I know I wouldn't want Skye driving in this weather at night and I'm sure your parents feel the same way."

I cringed and held my tongue. I wanted nothing more than to scream Fuck. No. at Aunt Lacey's gesture but I understood where she was coming from. After all my dad died in a car accident in a horrible storm.

Knight looked over at me, his eyes piercing into my soul. "Thank you. Yeah, I'll give my dad a call and see what he wants me to do."

"Okay, honey," aunt Lacey walked over and kissed me on the side of the head, "I'm off. If you need me, no matter what for," she gave me a look that said be safe and make sure you use a condom, "call me or text me, okay?"

I smiled at her, my eyes narrowing so she could feel my wrath. I don't need a condom aunt Lacey because nothing is happening with this asshole! Even if we did just kiss like there's no tomorrow and my knees went weak. Nope. Nothing is going to happen. Nothing! "Ok, aunt Lace. Love you. Drive safe please and text me when you get to work."

She let out a light laugh but she knew I would freak out if she didn't let me know she got there after driving in a storm like this. "Of course, love you too! Bye!" She yelled waving over her shoulder as she walked out of the door to the garage.

I stood there staring at the door for some time until I heard the garage door close again before I took a deep breath and put on my big girl panties to turn around and face my past.

"What are you-"

"I'm sorry." Knights voice cut me off and my mouth hung open for a minute. I blinked, shocked by his confession. Did he really just apologize?

I blinked again, crossing my arms over my chest before straightening my spine and narrowing my eyes at him. "And what exactly are you sorry for, Knight? Being an asshole? Destroying my dads car? Fucking kissing me? Or is this about four years ago?"

Knights eyes widened and he took a step back as if I slapped him. "Maybe all of it, okay!" He yelled throwing his hands into his hair and yanking. His forearms tensed and my eye drifted to a fresh tattoo. I couldn't make out what it was but the colors were gorgeous. It looked like a night sky with stars.

I took a step closer to him involuntarily, my eyes drawn to the tattoo like a magnet. I knew he had gotten something, they all had, but I had no idea what it was and now that he was here in front of me I craved to know what it was.

I opened my mouth to ask him, my curiosity getting the better of me but he shut me up with his words. "And what the fuck do you mean about four years ago? I didn't fucking do anything to you! Quiet the opposite, sweetheart."

My mouth dropped open and I stared at him in shock. Surely he's joking, right? He's fucking insane if he thinks he didn't do anything.

"Are you joking?"

"About not doing anything to you? No, I'm fucking not. You were the one who brought this on yourself. You were the one who broke us. Who destroyed whatever we were-whatever we could have been."

The dark laugh that escaped me was full of disbelief. Here I thought I was breaking through to the guy I once knew. The guy who I gave my heart to but nope his little apology was just an act.

"You're fucking joking me, right? I don't know what sick, twisted game you have going on in that mind of yours but I did nothing to you, Knight! You took my virginity and then you left t-"

"I was a virgin too, Skye! And I didn't fucking take it! You gave it to me just like I gave mine to you because back then I was too fucking stupid to realize the truth. To fucking blinded by the gorgeous blue-eyed girl who I thought was my best friend to realize she was just like the rest of them. Just playing a fucking game." He cut me off.

I threw my hands up in exaggeration, "What the fuck are you talking about!"

He looked at me, giving me a look that to any other person would probably kill but to me it just pissed me off. What in the hell was he so angry about? He was the one who left! He wasn't there when I came back from the snack stand with drinks for us. No, he decided to go somewhere else. Be with someone else.

Before I could say another word Knight growled, his fists tightening at his side as if he was getting read to hit the wall. His tattoos bunched with his muscles and I bit my lip. Why the fuck was the sight of him angry turning me on right now?

Cause your fucked up that's why!

Knight stormed toward the door but before he opened it he spun around, staring me right in the eye. "I'll pay for the damage to your dad's car. I'll fix it all."

I opened my mouth to respond but he swung open the door and stormed outside into the hurricane like weather.

"What the fuck!" I bellowed as I ran outside after him. My coat and shoes were left inside and the rain made me feel like I had just jumped into a freezing cold lake. I was drenched within seconds as I followed him out to his car. "Where are you going?!"

He spun around, his soaked hair flinging and sticking to his forehead. His eyes were brown in the dark sky and it made his face look even more angry. "Home! Where does it look like I'm going?!"

"You're not driving in this storm!"

"I'd rather drive in this storm than be near you!" I flinched at his words. They felt like a whip to my heart and I closed my eyes for a brief moment to gain control of my emotions. He turned on his heel and continued to his car but I ran in front of him refusing to take no for an answer.

"You're not going anywhere in this storm Knight Jeffery Thomas! So turn that ass around and go back inside before I make you!"

He took a step back, shocked at words or maybe it was the use of his full name but then his mask came down again. He stepped closer to me, getting in my face before bending slightly and narrowing his eyes at me.

"And how exactly are you going to make me, Skye Elizabeth Davis?"
