Until We Meet Again

The Escape

"But where would we go?" Sky asked, calming down, wiping off any left tear stains.

"There is a small rest house by the countryside under my name. Dad bought it as a vacation spot, but it has been vacant ever since. Let's just go there and decide on what we can do next,"

We both agreed. Picking up our bags that we had thrown on the road, we headed back to the bus stop. Luckily, we both had some money saved up. It was much safer to come back when things settled down a little.

We sat at the bus stop, waiting. "Do you trust me?" I asked again,

He kept his hand over mine, "Don't you see me giving up on everything and escaping with you?"

I smiled and held his hand, "I will make sure you get back everything you're giving up on right now," I promised,

"You're not giving up and that is all that matters," he replied drawing circles on the back of my hand with his thumb, looking at me with a small smile.

Sia's POV

I ran out of the house after making sure Dad had calmed down a bit. I had to find Sky, he had stormed out of the house in such a vulnerable state.

I really hope you're okay, Sky,

Just as I headed down the road, I saw him crying and hugging Dew near the bench at the turning. My heart broke for them, they had to fight something that was not in their favor from the beginning, which was just so unsettling.

I couldn't hear what they were talking about but then Dew held Sky's hand and picking up their bags they walked further down the road. I decided to follow them. Walking further below, I saw them arriving at the bus stop.

I didn't know where they were going but judging by how comforted and safe Sky looked, I let them be. Maybe this is what they require at this moment. They needed time to come to conclusions, while I handled everything back here at home.

They boarded a bus and soon the bus sped away. I pulled out my phone and opened Dew's contact, clicking on 'text',

Me: Take care of yourselves. I'm leaving Sky to you for a little while so I can try and sort things out back here. Let me know if you need anything and keep an eye out for my texts.

A few minutes later he replied,

Dew: Thank you. Don't worry about Sky, I will keep us safe. We will be back once we are steady and conscious enough. Please look after Dani.

Me: I will. Be safe.

I headed back home once I read his text.

Dew's POV

Sky clung onto me even when the bus started speeding. His fear of abandonment made it saddening for me to even imagine the worst things.

The sun was bright up in the sky and the day was starting to get warmer. Since there were no clouds, the hot rays of the sun peeked in brazenly from the windows of the bus.

It was just a simple Wednesday morning on an April day, unlike other people from our faculties enjoying their after-term holidays, we were on a bus to the countryside to escape from reality.

It was another two hours till we reached. We munched on a few snacks we had saved,

"Get some sleep," I said looking at him with a smile.

Sky's POV

After pulling down our bags, we stepped down from the bus. His rest house was just a few steps ahead from the stop we stood on. He walked in front of me, holding his bag, my art bag over his shoulder and his other hand holding mine.
