Skylar coughs and it hurts to do so. She gets up, pain shooting through her body and she tells herself to suck it up. She goes out into the living room, it's quiet and all Skylar wants to do is run away from her problems. Skylar looks for the time, seeing it's almost noon. She yawns and begins to pick up, the house quiet, pans scraping against each other.

She finishes up and decides to do the laundry before heading to work. She grabs her phone, seeing a few missed calls from Harry. She calls him back, the phone wedged between her shoulder and ear. "Hello?" She rasps out.

"Are you okay? You sound sick?"

Skylar hums. "I'm fine," she mumbles, putting soap into the washer.

"Yeah, okay," he tells her as she closes the top and turns the washer on. She watched her closely, she turns the lights off and her eyes glow red in the dark. Skylar walks out to the living, seeing that it's now dark outside. She frowns and goes to the porch, seeing dark heavy clouds, covering the beautiful sun. "I wanted to tell you that you should probably take the day off."

Skylar frowns as she steps more outside, looking around. "Harry I'm fine I can come in--"

"Skye please. I think you should," Harry whispers and she glances around. Her grey irises landing on Luke, who has a devilish smirk on his face.

"Um..." she glances at the floor. She sighs, closing her eyes and shakes her head. "I guess. Are you sure it's okay Harry?"

"Yes I'm sure Skye. You deserve a break. I'll see you tomorrow okay," she hums and hangs up.

"Did you guys get kinky last night?" He asks, leaning over the fence, a grin on his face. Skylar shakes her head as she takes a seat on the porch. She keeps a straight face, staring at the sky. "Then what was with the screaming--"

"Abuse," she says, turning to stare at Luke's baby blue eyes. He stares back, seeing the color drained from her eyes. "Emotionally and physical... and I know what you're thinking. Why don't you leave."

Luke' face softens up a bit. "It's like there's no way out... if that makes sense. Each time it gets worse and I don't know what to do," she looks at him. It's like the clouds had gone to her eyes and they've been trapped in there for a while. 

"Run away?" Skylar chuckles, shaking her head.

"I get caught every time," she mumbles, looking down at her finger tips. Skylar looks back up, not looking at Luke. "What made you move to England?"

Luke jumps over the fence onto Skylar's yard. He walks up onto the porch, Skylar watching him as he takes a seat next to her. "Change of scenery... I've always wanted to come to England," Skylar looks down at her shoes and Luke quickly turns his head and sees Arrow. She dissappears into a shadow and Luke turns back around. "What about you?"

"I was... I was always different," she says, tucking a piece of her long brown hair behind her ear. "My mum is American and my father is English. I lived in the states for about four years until I moved out here and I um... I met a wonderful girl who wasn't able to be at my side all through out my life."

Luke sees the shadow in front of them. "Why is that?"

"She um... disappeared? I don't know. She was here one day and then she was gone," she chuckles remembering some memories.

"I like you accent. You aren't British are you?" Five year old Arrow asks. Skylar shakes her head, not saying anything. "You're shy, aren't you?"

Skylar nods her head, look up at her through her eyelashes. Arrow was tall, standing at four feet at just age five. "You're so tall," Skylar mumbles. Arrow hums, nodding her head. "I'm American."

"What's her name?"

"Arrow Lane," Lightening lights up the sky and thunder roars loudly. Skylar smiles, she always loved thunderstorms.

"So this boyfriend of yours," Luke says changing the subject.

She snorts, shaking her head. "Boyfriend? I'd rather not call him that,"

"Why is that? He's taking care of you right?"

"He doesn't deserve that title," she tells him. "Someone else deserves that."

He turns his head looking at her. She notices and turns to look at him. "Who deserves it?" He whispers.

She licks her lips, staring at Luke's irises. "Someone who will treat me better, who will care for me, make me happy, who will appreciate me..."

"And?"

"And most importantly someone who will love me," her lips graze his as she spoke.

They snap their fingers, Luke and Skylar are being dragged away from each other. Skylar looks up and sees Kyle. He has a devilish grin on his face. "Trying to kiss my girl Lucifier?"

"It's Luke," he says, standing up. Kyle was a bit more buffer then Luke. Kyle looks over at Skylar as he walks towards her.

"Someone who will love me," he mimics her, laughing afterwards. "Who's going to love a useless girl like you."

"Am I so useless then why do you keep me around," Skylar asks, standing up.

Kyle studies her, Luke watching and he grips onto her face with her thumb and index finger. "Sweetheart you're a prize where I'm from," he says.

"Where are you from?" Skylar speaks through squeezed cheeks.

"Baby I'm from Hell,"
