The Winston sister

73

Brooke's POV
It was Monday. Meaning, back to school. Dal drove me to school like usual. Things have been okay in our relationship. I mean, he hasn't been drinking an awful lot.

"You riding with Skye home?" Dal asked as we pulled into the school parking lot.

"Ya, I think I'll just get a ride with Twobit and em'" I say before stepping out.

I spotted Twobit, Skye, and the rest of the boys at his car. I jogged over as Skye saw me.

"Hey" her and I gave each other a quick hug.

Pony then gave me a kiss as he wrapped an arm around me. "You look cute" he smiled.

"Thanks, Pony" I blushed at his compliment.
I looked over and saw Steve and Skye chatting it up, while Twobit and Johnny did the same.

Ringggg

The school bell went off, meaning school was starting. We all headed inside, already a little late as it was.

"I'll meet ya in the bathroom at lunch!" I called after Skye as we all went our separate ways. She nodded and gave me a quick smile in return.

Ringggg
The lunch bell went off. Finally I thought as I stood from my desk and collected my things. I felt the real craving for a smoke.

After putting my shit in my locker, I headed straight to the bathroom where Skye and I planned to meet, like usual.

When I walked in, my heart sunk to see Skye, curled up in the corner, knees to her chest, crying as she took heavily breaths. I ran over to her and knelt down beside her.

"Hey, hey, hey what's going on, Skye?" I ask gently as I wrap an arm around her. She couldn't find her words as she kept sobbing. I rubbed circles on her back, trying to get her to calm down.

Once she finally steadied her breathing, She spoke "I was.."-she inhaled a breathe-"hey, take your time" I reassured.

She took a deep breath. "I was in the h-hallway...a soc girl came up to me...she told me that...she couldn't wait to get her hands on me, that'd I'd be hella sorry after she was through with me" she wiped her tears and gulped.

"Don't let her get to you, Skye" I rub her arm "you know she's just trying to scare you" I say.

"Well it sure as shit is working. Brooke, this rumble is gonna be fucking dangerous. Who knows if even after it, they'll stop jumping on our asses. You know how they are. This is never gonna end" she cried.

"Skye, you don't have to be scared. I'm here-and will be there with you. All the girls will. Your not in this alone" I comfort.

She nodded and took out a cancer stick before shakily lighting it. "Your right" she nodded.
"Thanks, Brookie" she chuckled a little.

"Anytime, Skye...anytime" I whispered. It was quiet for a moment. "Which girl was it?"

"What?" She looked to me.

"What girl was it?..the one who said that shit to you" I ask.

"Oh..I don't know her name. I know she's a soc, Cherry's friend" she explains.

"Well, hey..she's the one that's gonna be sorry when I get my hands on her at the rumble" I raise my brows with a serious look.

She chuckles "I don't doubt it"
