Love At First Sight | Sky & Jao

19

Jao sat nervously in the passenger seat of Sky's car as they drove to school. He couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in his stomach since the attack by his ex-boyfriend. The memories of that day still haunted him and the thought of returning to the place where it had happened made him feel sick.

"Are you okay?" Sky asked, reaching over to take Jao's hand in his own.

"I don't know," Jao replied, his voice shaking. "I'm just so scared to go back there."

"I know, but you don't have to face this alone," Sky reassured him. "I'm here for you, every step of the way."

Jao took a deep breath and tried to steady himself. He knew that Sky was right, that he had to face his fears and not let his ex-boyfriend have the power to control him anymore.

You're strong, Jao," Sky said, giving his hand a squeeze. "You've been through so much and you've come out the other side. You can do this."

Jao nodded, feeling a sense of determination rising within him. He knew that it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to take back control of his life and not let his ex-boyfriend's actions define him.

"Thank you, Sky," Jao said, leaning over to kiss him. "I couldn't have done this without you."

"I'll always be here for you," Sky replied, smiling at Jao.

They arrived at school and Jao took a deep breath before getting out of the car. He knew that there would be challenges ahead, but with Sky by his side, he felt ready to face them.

"Remember, I love you," Sky said before they walked into school and walked to class.

"I love you too," Jao replied with a smile before he walked into the school.

Jao knew that it wasn't going to be easy but he was ready to face it all with the love and support of Sky. He knew he could lean on Sky, and together they could face anything the world throws at them.

As they walked to school together, Sky held Jao's hand tightly, giving him a sense of security. "I'll be right by your side the whole time," Sky said. "I won't let anything happen to you."

Jao nodded, still feeling nervous but comforted by Sky's words. They arrived at school and headed to their first class. Jao's heart was pounding as they walked down the hallways, but he reminded himself that Sky was there to protect him.

As they entered the classroom, Jao's ex-boyfriend was there, sitting in his usual seat. Jao froze, feeling a wave of fear wash over him. But Sky stepped in front of him, shielding him from view. "Don't worry, I've got you," Sky said softly.

Jao took a deep breath and walked past his ex-boyfriend, relieved that Sky was there to protect him. The rest of the morning passed without incident, and Jao felt grateful for Sky's support and protection.

I couldn't have done it without you," Jao said to Sky as they walked home from school.

"I'll always be here for you," Sky replied. "You don't have to face anything alone."

He was relieved when the final bell rang and he could leave the school.

"Let's go get some dinner," Sky suggested as they walked out of the building.

Jao nodded, happy to be out of the school and in the company of his friends. They made their way to the canteen, where they met up with their friends Toh, Fon, Daisy, Intouch, Som, Tor and Kongkwan.

"Hey guys," Jao said, trying to sound casual.

"How are you holding up?" Fon asked, her tone filled with concern.

"I'm okay, just a little on edge," Jao admitted.

"Don't worry, we're here for you," Kongkwan said, giving Jao a reassuring smile.

Jao smiled back, feeling grateful for his friends' support. They sat down to eat and Jao felt his anxiety slowly start to dissipate.

"Hey, isn't that your ex over there?" Toh pointed out, gesturing to a table across the room.

Jao's heart dropped as he saw his ex-boyfriend sitting with a group of friends. He felt Sky's hand on his shoulder, offering him comfort.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Sky said, standing up.

Jao watched as Sky walked over to his ex and had a brief conversation watching as he had an angry look on his face and saying a few cross words before coming back to the table.

"He won't bother you again," Sky said, sitting back down.

Jao felt a wave of relief wash over him. "Thank you," he said, looking at Sky with gratitude.

I'll always be here for you," Sky replied, taking Jao's hand in his.

"I know," Jao said, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. "Thank you."

"Always," Sky replied, leaning in to give Jao a kiss.

Jao felt safe and protected in Sky's arms, knowing that he would always be there for him, no matter what.

"Together we can face anything," Jao said, holding Sky's hand tightly.

"Together," Sky replied, smiling at Jao.

Jao knew that with Sky by his side, he could face anything that life throws at him.
