Skye's P.O.V
The night was going perfect. I was with everyone that I cared about but he had to be here. How did he even find me? I thought I lost him back in Denver. I could not take my eyes off of Christian standing a crossed from me. Then I heard Jake speak up, "No we are fine right now, but thank you" After that Christian turned and walked back towards the kitchen. I released a shaky breath, and felt Jake lean in, "Hey are you alright and who is Christian?" Just hearing his name gave me the chills but I quickly whispered out an answer back. "No Jake I'm fine and that's the waiter's name on his name tag silly" Jake just smiled and joined in the small talk that was going around our table. All I could think about was why he was here.
The rest of dinner went fine, Christian did not try anything but that could because Jake was with me or even that we were in public with a lot of witnesses. Christian approached our table, "Will there me dessert tonight?" Everyone nodded except me. I just kept my head down not trying to meet his eyes again. I felt a nudge and looked up to see Jake looking at me. I shook my head yes and again Christian walked off. Jake put his hand up to my forehead, "No you don't feel hot, but sure do look it though" Everyone laughed at his corny joke, even I cracked a small smile.
I accused myself from the table and headed towards the bathroom. As I went in it was quiet, too quiet. I just brushed it off and continued my path over to the big mirror at the sinks. Just as I pulled out my makeup I heard the door opening and I brought my eyes up from my purse. My eyes meet his and I went to scream for help but I my voice was even too scared to be any help. He walked ever so casual towards me. I tried to back up and find an escape but I bumped the wall and remember I was in a bathroom and there was one exit. He finally was right in front of me and I could smell the mint gum he was chewing. I barely whispered this out, "What do you want, Christian?" He just smiled and started to laugh. "What do I want...I want you silly" I cringed as he stroked my face with his finger. I pushed him aside and tried to make a run for it but, I'm in heels and you can't run in heels. He grabbed my arm and slammed me into one of the stall doors. He pinned me against the door with one hand and dragged his hand through his hair. He let out a heavy sigh, "Look you can't hide from your father and if you try to run again I guess we will have to go to plan B" At this point I was trying to fight back every tear and act the tiniest bit tough, "What is plan B?" he just smiled again and pulled out a phone. He found whatever he was looking for on it and showed me a picture. Right as my eyes saw the picture I lost that fight and tears started to stream down my face. He loosed his grip on my arm and backed up. I just slid down the stall door having a mental breakdown as he made his way out the bathroom door.
Jake's P.O.V
It's been a few minutes since Skye went to the bathroom. I should really go check on her. As I was getting up from the table, a new waiter was bringing the dessert out. I asked nicely if they could box them all to go for us. He nodded and went back to get boxes. After that I headed back to the bathrooms, as I approached two females were leaving the girls bathroom. "I feel bad for whoever is crying in their" the one on the left said. "Yeah she probably got stood up and now is figuring that out" the other one said laughing. I picked up the pace. I approached the bathroom door and knocked, "Skye are you in their?" I pressed my ear up to the door and could hear faint whimpers. I pushed open the door and placed one foot inside, "Skype please answer me" I took two more steps and heard a faint whisper of my name, "Jake?" I spun around and went towards where the sound came from. I pushed open the stall door and saw Skye sitting with her legs brought up to her chest and makeup running down her face. I took off my suit jacket and draped it over her. I knelt down, "Awe Skye what happened?" She buried her face deeper into her arms. My heart was breaking, so I picked her up bridal style. She buried her face into my neck and continued to sob quietly. I pushed open the door with my foot and made our way back to the table. You get a few stairs from people when you're carrying someone out of the woman's bathroom. Everyone's head snapped to me when I reached the table, all at once they said, "What happened?" I shook my head, "I don't know but I just want to get her back to the hotel" they all shook their heads yes. I handed Scooter my wallet so he could pay for me. I walked towards the front door and I could hear Skye whisper, "I'm sorry Jake" My heart finally broke in two, "Don't be you don't have nothing to be sorry for baby" I cooed to sooth her nerves. As we walked through the main entrance the only thing that went through my head was what happened.
Skye's P.O.V
Jake walked me to the car and placed me in the back seat. A few seconds later Jake was seating next to me. He placed my head on his shoulder and for the first time I started to relax since my talk with Christian. A little later Joey, Scooter, and Kevin got in the front of the car. We were far from the hotel and I guess I was little tired. My eyes got heavy and before I knew it darkness took over.
I open my eyes and I'm in a white room. I could hear voices in the middle of a conversation but I can't make them out. I look around and nothing but whiteness. I stand up and look down. I notice a Polaroid photo facing down. I pick it up and it was the picture that Christian showed me at the restaurant. Then the photo disappeared and the voices became clearer. The first voice was Jake but I could not place the second one. "How could this happen, was this my fault...first Madison and now this" The voices became louder and louder. I brought my hands up to my ears trying to block out the noise. I could hear the sadness in his voice. I felt the warm water run down my face that I become to found of. I knelt down and started to scream, "STOP IT, JAKE I'M SORRY!!!"
I jolted up in a sweat screaming, "STOP IT, JAKE I'M SORRY!!!" I looked around and saw I was back in the hotel. Then I heard a sleepy Jake mumble, "Skype, you need anything" I quickly looked over at him and remembered my dream and the sadness in his voice. I could feel the tears coming but I bit my tongue to hold them back. "No Jake I'm fine" I feel the bed dip and see slightly in him roll back over in the darkness. I drape my legs over the bed and see a green light blinking on my phone. I wake it up and see I have a missed text. I unlock it and see it's from an unknown number. I opened it and there starring right back at me was the picture of Nolan sitting on a couch with two people sitting next to him. Right after that there is two messages, "Looks like a nice kid, would be terrible if something bad happened to him" "Oh and Congrats on winning Skye" I dropped my phone and started to cry.
