I was the rain but you had an umbrella.

|Chapter fifty four|

Why does this keep happening to me? Why do such bad incidents have to happen with me? Don't I already have so much to worry about and now this?

"Got nothing to say to me Skyler?"

I swear I'll kill him if I get the chance.

"Actually not really Austin. After what you did to me, I don't have words for you. I don't want to waste my precious time over someone like you." I said my voice full of venom.

"Whoa, that's harsh."

"Yes, I mean that's all you do right? Rape girls? Fuck around? Break into people's houses? Threaten them? That's all you have to do right? Other than that you got no talent, I understand Austin. It happens." I smirked but deep down I knew that I was pushing it hard and I shouldn't be talking to him like this but right now for some odd reason I didn't fear him. That's maybe because I was in a huge crowd and I felt that he won't pull some stunt right now.

"Watch your mouth bitch. You've no idea what I'm capable of." He said leaning forward, his hands in the form of fist.

"Oh I know exactly what you're capable of. You're capable of terrorising people but now I think you're even failing at it. And like I said, I don't want to waste my precious time over you so get lost." I turned on my feet and walked away from him. But only I know how fast my heart was beating and that I was almost sweating right now. Its not easy facing the guy who did such horrible things to you but atleast I can try.

I went looking for Aaron and I saw him standing with Alexis, oh god.

I ran to him.

"I need to talk to you, it's urgent." I pulled him alongwith me without waiting for any reply.

"Calm down Grayson. Your jealousy is getting the best of you—"

"Oh shut up. And please tell me that what is Austin Stevens doing here?" I was angry.

He looked shocked. "Austin's here?"

"Yes he freaking met me and again threatened me but I somehow stood up but what in the world is he even doing here?"

"I almost forgot that of course he would be here. His dad and my dad are great friends. So of course he would be invited to this party."

"And you're telling me this now?" I asked in disbelief.

"I forgot, I'm sorry." He stepped further. "Are you okay though?"

"I-I guess I'm fine." I was not.

"Well now that he's here, stay close—"

"Skyler, I've been looking for you." I turned my head to look at the person speaking to me. It was Cedric. Oh god, now is not the time Ced.
He narrowed his eyes on looking at the position of mine and Aaron's, how close we were standing. I pulled away from Aaron. "Are you busy?"

"N-no no. I'm not." I stuttered and stepped away from Aaron and towards Cedric. Well looks like this is the time I tell Cedric about how I feel and end things with him. "Actually I wanted to talk to you about something Ced."

"Yeah come on," he placed his hand on my lower back and with one last glance at Aaron we moved towards the couches and sat down.

"I'm sorry. I said that we would spend time together but I just got busy and taken away with the party going on."
