Behind the Hidden Face

Chapter 6

-* SKYLAR'S POV *-

My mum's head peeked in. I jumped, ducking his head under the water. I could feel his forehead touch my legs.

"Skylar?" She stepped in.

"Yes mum." I said.

"How was prom?"

I could feel Harry running out of breath.

"Um," I stuttered, "c-can we talk l-later?"

She raised an eye brow.

"Okay." She said, leaving the room and closing the door.

Harry came back up, gasping for air.

"What the hell!" He said, fixing his hair.

"My mum would kill me if she seen you."

He laughed, standing up and getting out.

"Let's go to sleep." He said, holding his hand out.

I stared at his hand for a second, than I took the towel in one hand, and his hand in the other. He helped me out, wrapping the towel around me. He let go, letting me go into the bathroom to change. I put my pajama's back on. I wandered back out where he lay on my small mattress in his boxers and a white t-shirt, holding himself up by his elbows. I walked to the mattress, laying on the opposite side and turning my back to him. I could feel the vibrations on the bed as he chuckled.

"I'm guessing that's a no to cuddling."

I laughed a little. I could feel him get closer to me, suddenly feeling his arm go around me. He pulled the covers over us. His long fingers moved my hair to the side. He left a kiss on the back of my neck.

"Go to sleep." He whispered.

********

"Get out!" Luke shouted.

I sat up quickly. Harry had his hands up in innocence.

"Luke!" I said.

"Who is this?" He snapped.

"It's Harry," I started, "my prom date."

"Why was he sleeping with you?"

I looked up at Harry, his face flushed with guilt.

"If you think I'm not telling Zandra, you're wrong." He said, trailing out of my room.

Harry took my hand, lifting me up.  

"I'm so sorry," he whispered, "this is the last thing I wanted to happen."

"H-Harry it's okay."

"No, it's not."

My mum stormed in, Luke passing him and shoving Harry.

"Call the police!" My mum shouted.

I stood up.

"Mum, no! Please don't do this!" I screamed.

Luke dialed 9-1-1, holding Harry back.

"Please, no." I cried.

"Shut up, Skylar." My mum snapped.

I mouthed to Harry. "I'm so sorry."

My eyes formed tears. Before I knew it, police lights were seen from outside.

"Mum! You can't do this!" She ignored me, following Luke and Harry out of my room.

I followed behind them.

"Mum, look at me! Listen to me!"

Harry was pushed into the back seat of one of the cars.

"No!" I yelled.
