Hopeless - The sequel to Breathless. A Janoskians fanfic.

9. "What happened?"

Skip's POV -

I couldn't get over what had just happened, not only had I slept with Isla, but we'd been caught by her boyfriend, one of my oldest friends. She was so beautiful, I couldn't help myself, I loved her and the moment she kissed me I knew I had to have her. It was wrong, we were both in a relationship with someone else, but there's was no denying the spark was there, Tabby didn't make me happy, I just put up with her. Isla clearly felt the same about me, she'd tried to tell me she regretted it, but that's when she thought I loved Tabby. I was more in love with her than ever before, that's what I'd come here to tell her, I was going to break Tabby's heart, but I wanted to be happy. The last thing I expected to happen was for Benji to turn up. "what the fuck are you doing with my girlfriend?" he yelled at me, was he blind? I clearly cared about her more than he ever would, "Girlfriend? The one you hit last night?" I snorted back. Jai had told me he saw them arguing in his house last night, he'd seen Benji raise his hand to Isla and slap her across the face, Jai hadn't told Isla he'd seen it, but he knew how I felt about her and told me.

Benji immediately saw red, he clenched his fists and walked towards me, I knew exactly what he was going to do, only it didn't happen quite as I expected. He raised his fist and swung it towards me, "STOP IT BENJI!" Isla had screamed and lept in front of me to defend me, but it was too late for Benji to retract his fist and he'd hit her full throttle in the cheek. I tried to catch her as she fell but it all happened so quickly she landed with a loud thud on the floor. "Isla! Isla! What the fuck have you done!" I shouted at Benji, he didn't look sorry for his actions, he just laughed bitterly and folded his arms in front of his chest. "That's what happens to sluts that sleep around." he spat and turned to leave, Benji had always had anger issues, but not like this. I heard him make his way down the stairs and the front door slammed. Isla stirred in my lap, I stroked her hair gently and shook her body. Her eyes slowly opened, she looked directly into mine and rubbed her face where Benji's fist had smashed into it. "What happened?" she groaned and flinched in pain as she moved her jaw. I rubbed my fingers across her cheek soothingly and explained what had happened, tears fell from her eyes.

"He's gone Isla, you're safe with me." I rocked her body in my lap, she pulled herself up, wrapping her arms around my neck and nestling her face into my chest. I stood up, still holding her in my arms, placed her on her bed, pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead gently. "Why did you defend me Isla? I deserved that punch." I asked her, stroking her hair and watching whilst she wiped the tears from her eyes. She sat up next to me and placed her head on my shoulder, "I love you Daniel." she whispered, "I'd do anything for you, it was my fault just as much as yours." she smiled sweetly and kissed my cheek. I couldn't help but grin as those four words 'I love you Daniel' circulated in my head. Before I had a chance to sweep her up and hold her in my arms my phone began ringing again, "for fuck sakes!" I grumbled looking at the caller ID, I'd avoided her enough, I had to face it.

Skip: hello?

Tabby: Danny where are you?! I've been calling you all day.

Skip: I'm just busy, sorry.

Tabby: Can I come over? I bought some new underwear, I really think you'll like it.

Skip: I'm not really in the mood right now.

Tabby: Danny why are you being like this?! I'm sure it's nothing a blow job won't fix.

Skip: I said no, okay? Just leave me alone.

Tabby: Fuck you then!

The line went dead and Isla began giggling beside me, "Danny?!" she questioned, her laughter got louder "who the fuck is she, Sandy?" I laughed with her and we leant back on the bed unable to control our giggling. When I was with Isla I felt on too of the world, nothing could bring me down right now. "Skip, I think we should invite everyone around tonight, like the good old days, before the accident. I miss it." she sounded sad, the truth was, I missed it too. James was back today and Isla hadn't met Veronica yet, it would be great. "I'll call Beau and James, you call Jai, Luke and Sierra." she nodded and stood up, walking towards her wardrobe. She pulled out my red basketball jersey and slipped it over her tiny frame, it swamped her now, but she looked amazing all the same. "I really like that Jersey, where'd you get it?" I joked and she giggled again, she walked towards me and pulled me off the bed, "This guy gave it to me, Daniel Sahyounie? I don't know if you know him, but he's kind of a big deal." she winked, stroked my chest seductively and played with the lining of my trousers. She began nibbling at my neck, her hands rubbed the inside of my thighs and she breathed deeply into my ear. "You're so fucking hot!" I moaned and picked her up around my waist.

Not only had I had sex with Isla and been caught, but she'd taken a punch for me, I'd blown of my own girlfriend and then slept with Isla again. I couldn't get enough of her, she was a tease and she drove me crazy. The sex was incredible, my back stung and she had even drawn blood this time, but it was so worth it. I'd just have to make sure no body saw my back, not even Tabby, which would be pretty difficult. Tabby wasn't exciting in bed like Isla, she just sort of laid there whilst I did the work, her moans were over dramatic and she yelled stupid stuff like "Fuck me Romeo" thinking it was sexy. Truth was, I hadn't had sex with Tabby in over a week now, she just didn't do it for me and I think she was starting to get suspicious. I didn't care, I had Isla now, my perfect, beautiful Isla. "what are we going to say to the others?" she asked seriously, "obviously they can't know about 'this' because of Tabby and Benji." she muttered and looked towards the floor. She pulled her trousers up over her hips and tied her hair messily up in a bun on top of her head. "apart from Benji already knows" I reminded her and she pushed me playfully, I pretended to fall over and she laughed uncontrollably. "Well yes, but Tabby doesn't, so we need to cover it, especially in front of Beau." she had a point, if Beau knew, Shay would know and then Tabby would come down on me like a ton of bricks.
