Torn (Editing)

Chapter 20

Chase's POV

We had been working all day and Skyler hadn't said a word to me.

"Skyler." I said, eyeing her worriedly.

"What?" She snapped, turning her head towards me. Anger was evident in her eyes, making me step back a little.

"Are you okay?"

"What do you think?" She asked, Anger radiating off of her like a heat wave.

"Skyler, what's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"You know what, I need to go talk to Drake. I am starting to feel sick." Skyler said avoiding my question. "Leslie can you take my spot while I go talk to Drake." She asked one of our co-workers.

Leslie nodded in response as Skyler took off in the direction of Drake's office. I watched her walk away until she was out of sight.

"Go!" I heard a voice say, pulling me out of my trance.

I turned around to see Andrew standing behind me. "What?" I asked, being caught off guard.

"Go after her." He repeated.

A wide smile spread across my face. "Will you-"

"Yes, yes, now go I'll take your place!" Andrew said, shooing me away.

"Thank you!" I said, before running off to find Skyler.

"Skyler!" I called out when I spotted her coming out of Drake's office. "Are you okay?"

She shook her head shoving passed me. "I got to go."

"Skyler what's wrong?" I asked, tugging on her arm ever so gently.

"Leave me alone!" Skyler pulled her arm harshly away from my grip.

"What did I do?"

"Why?" She asked loudly.

"Why what?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Her voice filled with anger as she spoke.

"Tell you what?" Confusion clear in my voice.

"That Linsey is your sister and that she's out to get me?"

"She's not out to get you." I spoke calmly.

"She hates my guts. She's hated me since the first day she met me, but sure she's not out to get me. Chase open your eyes. Your sister is out for revenge and there's nothing you can do about it." Skyler said with a sigh.

"I'm sure I can do something about it." I said with a smile.

"How can you be so sure?" Sky asked softly.

"Because I know Lisney." I said.

"So do I." She said with a smirk.

"But you don't know how she feels." I said with hurt in my eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Sky's smirk slowly melting off her lips.

"I know how it feels to be in love with someone you can't be with." I said softly, adverting my eyes to the floor.

"What do you mean?" She asked in a whisper soft as silk.

I abruptly looked up at her. "I love you." I said stoking her cheek and before she could react to my words I learned in and kissed her. I could feel the sparks go off and the whole world disappear. It was just her and me.

"Sky your ride-" we heard a voice beam from behind us interrupting our moment.

We jumped away from each other to look up at Leslie while Sky turned bright red in embarrassment and looked down seeming uncomfortable.
