Chapter 2

Camila's POV

I had to be sitting in Ms.Daisy's office for at least half an hour when Lauren finally spoke up. "Camila, why don't you go help Skylar pack." I looked up and nodded then ran out of the room and up the stairs to the room with a sign saying 'Skylar'. I knocked and all I got back was a "hm" so I took that as a 'come in' and there she was lying on her bed nose deep into 'Divergent' I laughed to myself, that's definitely Lauren's kid. "Skylar, we have to get packing, Lauren's finishing the paperwork and then we'll leave." I said, she shot up and that's when I saw it. Her arms were covered in them. Cuts. Some were new, some were old. My heart dropped knowing that this poor girl could do such a thing, I mean I'm used to dealing with it, Lauren struggles with self-harm from stuff that's happened in her past but she's careful to hide it in fear of the media.

"Damn." I said not knowing it was out loud. She gave me a questioning look, "damn what?" She asked looking confused. "You have legit no clothes, we need to take you shopping". I said and her eyes got wide in excitement but then with guilt. "You don't have to do that for me, I'm fine with what I have honestly." I could tell she was lying, "Skylar, we don't have to, we want to." I said to her and she just shrugged. A little later we finished and walked downstairs so see the other girls ready to go. Today is the start of a new life.

Lauren's POV

"NO PLEASE NO. DONT DO IT PLEASE DONT. STOP IT PLEASE STOP!" I shot up from my nap hearing that throughout the bus. Skylar. I ran to her bunk to see her asleep with tears running down her face. "PLEASE OH GOD NO DONT DO IT." I couldn't stand to see her like this, I knew this might make it worse but I also knew it'd wake her up. I shook her and shook her until her eyes shot open and she pushed herself against the wall.

"Sweetie," I spoke. "It's me, Lauren." Her eyes became calmer at the sound of my name. "L-Lauren?" Her voice trembled as she spoke my name. "Yes sweetie, it's only Lauren". She relaxed and came closer to me and I opened up my arms, before I knew it I was holding her in them. "Now, what happened in that pretty little head of yours?" I asked her and felt her whole body tense, her head shook telling me no but I knew we had to get through this. "Skylar, sweetie you have to tell me in order for me to help you". I tried to stay calm while doing it but my voice was shaken. "I-I was ten" she began to speak, I nodded to let her know to continue. "My mom, she passed when I was seven and my dad blamed it on me. T-then on my tenth birthday he told me he had a 'special present'. I was excited, I thought maybe he cared about me. Then I saw what the present was." Tears started to roll down her face, I knew what was coming, it happened to me, only the girls know about it. She then started to continue. "I tried to stop it, I screamed as loud as could but his hand went on my mouth. He, he r-raped me Lo." By now she was bawling her eyes out, my heart was in pieces for this little girl. I needed to tell her she's not the only one, but how would I. What would I say to her? You can't ever forget it. Skylar's mouth dropped open. Shit. I said that out loud. "Lo" her voice trembled. "You, you were" she trailed off, I knew what she was going to say, I nodded. I didn't get the usual reply, I didn't get the simple 'I'm sorry' or 'I'm always here to talk' instead I got what I've needed since the day it happened, a hug.

Skylar's POV

As soon as she told me what happened I hugged her, it's the response I've wanted all the years but today I was able to give it. She then hugged me which I ended up falling asleep in, I woke up to Mila, "Skylar, we need to talk." My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach, what does she need to talk about? "I saw them Skylar, I know there's new ones, I need to make sure they're not bad enough for the doctor or hospital." I was scared shitless.

Camila's POV

By now she knew what I was talking about, she slowly sat up and we went to the back lounge where nobody was. "Skylar, you need to be totally honest okay?" She nodded slowly but I knew she was scared. "where are they?" I asked, "s-stomach" she said, I knew what was going to happen. "Skylar, I need you to take off your shirt, I need to look at them." I saw the panic in her eyes, Lauren told us what happened when she was ten. "Skylar, don't worry, I'm not going to do anything, if you want the door can be open so the girls can one in, but I need to look to see how bad they are." I was trying to my calm but stern. She eventually nodded and took of her shirt, there she was in jeans and a sports bra, covered. Her arms, wrists, stomach. They were covered in scars. I looked closely at the newer ones on her stomach and sighed in relief, they weren't bad at all. I handed her back her shirt and told her they're not bad. "Skylar, were gonna need to have a family meeting about this and, uh." she knew what I meant, she just slowly nodded. "It'll be okay baby girl, everything will be okay." with those words I say her on her bunk and she slowly drifted off to sleep.
