Shadows- A Skylox Fanfiction

Chapter 2

Sky's p.o.v

I slowly opened my eyes and got up off of my bedroom floor, throwing my shabby blanket back to its spot before leaving my room. I got downstairs and my uncle looked at me. "HOW DARE YOU WAKE ME THIS EARLY YOU QUEER FREAK!" He screamed. "S-so-sorry." I stuttered. He threw his bottle which had once contained alcohol at my face and it smashed on my jaw. I managed to cover up a whimper by coughing. My uncle grabbed my arm and forced me to the floor, kicking me anywhere and everywhere he could. When he was finished I got up off the floor and grabbed my bag, deciding to take the bus because I was late. I made it to the bus stop and climbed on, standing awkwardly in the middle looking around at the strange signs. I spotted a sign at the back that said 'freaks' with a boy holding a grubby backpack. His clothes were slightly tattered and grubby. A jock came up to me and sked me a few questions before looking me in the eye, kneeing me in the no-mans-land. "Well, you're a queer. Go sit by the freak sign." He said. I went and sat near the boy. "You okay?" He asked me. I flinched and curled away a bit before replying "U-uhm yeah. P-please don't hurt me!" , covering my face with my arms. "Hey, it's okay! I won't hurt you!" He soothed

#############time skip to school###

Me and Ty (I had learned his name on the bus.) Got off the bus and started walking towards the entrance of the school. "You new here?" Ty asked me. "Nope. Been here my whole life." I answered.  "Why haven't I seen you around?" He asked. "No one really notices me." I said dully. "What classes you got today?" He asked me. I pulled out my timetabe and handed it to him. I then spotted some people from my english. one of them threw a stone and that was when I realized it was time to run. "If i'm in any of you classes give me my timetable. If not the give me it on the bus." I said quickly before sprinting. I only got as far as the bike shed before one of the boys from english grabbed my arm. I turned ound to meet faces withJared, the worst of them all. He had put me in hospital last week by beating me up with a baseball bat. "You missed your beating on friday. Boys, who wants to make this one hurt reallll bad?" He questioned, looking at his group. A chorus of "Me" 's and "I do!" 's followed. Jared threw me to the ground and started to kick me in the stomach. Two of his friends pulled me up. "Line up boys, everyone gets a go!" Jared said before stepping in front of me. He punched me in the stomack and jaw before stepping to the back of his 'line'. everyone got a chance to hit me and I was dizzy and could see blood by the time it was over. His friends dropped me and I hit my head off the wall and passed out. I woke up to someone shaking me. "Sky?" I opened my eyes a little and saw Ty's worried face. I closed my eyes again, still feeling dizzy. "Come on Sky, get up for me?" Ty said, shaking me. He soon realised it wasn't working and yelled "TYLER!" I heard his voice crack. "TYLER QUICK!" I coughed and whispered "I'm fine." . My eyes were open a crack now and I could clearly see that Ty had a split lip and a bruise on his cheek. I coughed again and whispered "What happened to your face?", shuffling up against the wall. "That doesen't matter right now. TYLER?!" He replied. A few seconds later Tyler, who I had met briefly on the bus came round the corner, looking out of breath. I can only imagine what this looked like to him. "Oh my god what happened?!" Tyler asked, panicked. "I found him like this, he wasn't in math." Ty explained. "I'm f-fine ho-" I tried to speak but stopped, coughing and wincing in pain. "You are anything but fine Sky." Tuler butted in, looking serious. Ty pulled out his phone and asked, "What's your mom or dad's number?" "I don't have a mom or dad." I said sadly. "Who do you live with then?" He questioned. "My uncle." I said. "What's his number?" Ty asked. "NO! DON'T CALL MY UNCLE!" I screamed, curling in on myself, my head had started hurting and I couldn't move or speak. "TYLER WHAT DO WE DO YOU ARE THE ONE TAKING MEDICAL GRADES?!" Ty screamed. Tyler stepped over to me and managed to lie me straight, a few whimpers from me. He pulled up my shirt just enough to see my stomach and went wide eyed. "Sky, who did this?" He asked. He must have seen all the cuts. "T-the ones on m-my s-s-sides we-were me. Th-the rest w-were " My voice cut out. I felt a small drop of water hit my stomach and saw Tyler was crying. "Ca- can you tell me who made the rest?" He asked again. I didn't know wether to rat out my uncle or lie. I decided to tell the truth. "M-my Uncle." I said, closing my eyes. I felt him move my shirt again, pulling it back down. He started to pull up my sleeves. This time I knew what he was looking for. "Oh my god SKy why?!" Ty asked from behind Tyler. "I- I" Ty put his hand on my hand. Tyler pulled out his phone and started to dial a number. "Hello. I need and ambulance to Slater high, I just found my friend in a lot of pain. Quickly!" Tyler said before hanging up. "I just called 911. An ambulance is on it's way." He explained. "They're gonna ask for relatives names and numbers." I choked out. "How do you know?" Asked Ty. "They did be-before." I explained. "You've had to go to hospital. because of him before?!" Ty asked me, raising his voice. At that moment Jared and his friends walked round the corner once again. "Hey Fre- Who's this?" Jared questioned. "We're his friends, who are you?" Tyler butted in. "Too f###ing personal." Jared said, pulling out the baseball bat he had used last time. I whimpered. Ty went wide eyed and shuffled over to sit beside me. He put his arm on my back and whispered "He can't hurt you." I felt my breathing quicken as he advanced but I couldn't move. Two of his friends picked up Ty and dragged him away from me. Jared pulled me up and pushed me right against the wall and another few of his friends pinned me against it while Jared observed me. He started to take a swing but Tyler stepped in and said "I don't think so!" Jared paused. "But I do." He replied, throwing Tyler to the ground. He then proceeded to whack me across the stomach with the bat a few times before giving me a fatal hit to the head, throwing me to the ground. Just before I passed out I felt Tyler catch me. I glanced towards Ty, who was now covered in blood. "GO HELP TY!!" I screamed. Tyler set me down and ran to Ty. Jared and his friends started to run. I couldn't breathe. I reached to my pocked, trying to find my inhaler. I found it but ended up dropping it and it skidded away towards the two Tyler's. It hit Ty's foot. "This yours?" He asked. I nodded and he crawled over, resting himself against the wall and passing me the inhaler. I managed to use it and felt the air surge back to my lungs. Someone from the ambulance came round the corner then and said "Hey hey hey, you said ONE!" She screamed. "THERE WAS ONLY ONE CASUALTY WHEN I CALLED AND HE IS CURRENTLY BLEEDING EVERYWHERE SO DO YOUR DAMN JOB!" Tyler screamed. I flinched, my ears ringing. The woman went to put me on a stretcher but I realised Ty was half passed out, clinging to me and I said "I'll walk, thanks." And pulled Ty up, heading for the ambulance. I climbed inside and set Ty beside me. Tyler climbed in and off we went.
