Chapter 4

"Luke. Help me."

"Skylar? What's wrong? What happened?" He asks in a rushed tone. I can't help but cry even more, hearing his voice.

"Sky please talk to me!"

"Luke. He kissed her. I don't know what to do. I don't know where I am. I can't breath. Help me, Luke. Please." I sob. My breathing quickens again and I know that I won't be conscious for much longer. I hear Luke's voice ring through the speakers of my phone but I can't make out a word he says.

I try to focus on his voice but it doesn't work. My vision starts to get blurry and before I know it, everything turns pitch black and I hear Luke's voice fade into silence.

*

I wake up by a repeating beeping noise.

Beep

Beep

Beep

I try to open my eyes but without luck. I'm too weak. I have a headache and I feel nauseous. My throat is dry from sobbing and it feels like a knife is going up and down.

I'm finally able to open my eyes but the light is too bright. The white room gets lit up by the few loft lamps. I look around and see a sleeping body in the chair next to me.

"Caleb?" I ask in a small voice. He turns his head slowly towards me and jolts up from his seat when he sees me.

"Sky! You're finally awake?! I'm gonna tell Mom and Dad to get in here." He says in a rush.

"Mom and Dad? They're here? Why?" I ask confused.

He looks at me like I'm crazy." Maybe because you were out cold for like 5 days. Brad found you unconscious on the street. The first thing I did, was to call Mom and Dad." He says. He walks over to the bed where I'm lying, kissing me on my forehead. "I'll be right back." He says walking out of the door to get Mom and Dad.

I take the opportunity to take a look around the room. It's not that big. The walls are a dirty white color, almost yellow, and there's pictures on them. Most likely to create a good atmosphere.

Before I see more, my mom and dad comes rushing in with a nurse and a doctor trailing behind them.

"Oh sweetie, I was so worried." My mom says, leaving kisses all over my face.

"Mom, I'm okay, don't worry." I swat her away, annoyed. "Seriously, I'm fine."

"Oh sweetheart, your mother and I were so worried. When Caleb called, your mother couldn't stop crying so we took the private plane back as fast as we could." My dad says in his powerful, british accent. I see the worry in my parents' eyes and sigh.

"Guys I'm fine now. Let's just hear what the doctor has to say." I say referring to the to doctor, who's standing awkwardly in front of the door. He seems very young, maybe in his early twenties, with his half-long brown hair and stubble. I would say he's about 6'3" and would tower over me easily with my 5'7". To be honest, he's quite handsome and I would definitely be into him if he was a bit younger.

"Well hello Skylar. I'm Dr. Rodriguez." He says with his deep voice, "We've taken a few test while you were unconscious and everything looks normal. No need to worry, but I'll have to ask you a few questions. Do you want your family here or...?" He trails off.

"They can stay, I think." I say looking concerned at my family. They let out a laugh and I do too.

"Well okay then, let's get started." He says looking down at the papers in his hands. "Do you have any mental illnesses?"

"Ehm, yeah... I have severe cases of anxiety, I have OCD and I've had depression. I haven't been diagnosed with other things."

He writes it down on his paper and then continues asking questions.

"Have you had sexual intercourse in the week leading up to your, let's say panic attack?"

I immediately blush looking around at my family. My parents are looking quite 'normal' if you could say that, but Caleb is another case. He's sending me death glares. He's the protective kind of brother, and I know that he'd never let me have sex and get away with it without a longass talk about the birds and the bees. It's usually your parents who would have that talk with you, while you older brother would just stand laughing. But my family isn't like that at all. I have my wonderful brother who almost acts like a parents whenever mom and dad aren't home.

"Ehm.. No.. I havent." I say in a small voice, giving Caleb a resourcing smile. He nods approving and sends me a smile.

Dr. Rodriguez keeps asking questions for the next 15 minutes and then tells me that I have to stay at the hospital for a couple of days. I sigh and nod. I really hate hospitals and I just want to go home. I just want to sleep in my bed again. These hospital beds are horrible and My back hurts now.

The doctor leaves and I'm left with my family. My mom suddenly stands up and walks over to my bed.

"Hey sweetie. I'm really sorry but your dad and I have to leave again. Don't worry about Isabelle, she's coming with us and will be staying at your grandparents while we work. We'll be back in a couple of weeks and if anything happens just give us a call, okay? Love you." She says as her and my dad kisses me on my forehead. I sigh and nod understanding before they walk out the door. Caleb sees the sad look on my face and walks over to my bed and hugs me.

"It's okay Sky. They'll be back soon." He tells me, smiling sadly at me.

"You always say that and it's never true!" I say madly. I look at him and shake me head.

"It's always like this Caleb. Mom and Dad leaves for weeks at time. They're never home anymore! I wish that they jus-" I get cut off mid sentence by my phone ringing. I groan and quickly pick it up without looking at the caller ID.

"What?!" I yell into my phone.

"Sk-Skylar?" I hear a sweet voice stutter. My eyes widens as I recognize the voice.

"Luke? I'm so sorry yelled at you please don't be mad." I say quickly. A chuckle is heard and my heart is beating faster than it has ever done before.

"Skylar, calm down. I'm not mad but I've been so worried. Why didn't you answer my calls or my texts?" I quickly look at my phone and see that I have about 67 unanswered call and 100 unread texts.

"Luke, I'm sorry. I just woke up. Apparently, I've been unconscious for 5 days or something like that. I don't really know what happened."

"But you're okay, right? You called me and was crying. You said something about someone kissing someone. I didn't really get it." And then it all comes back to me. Brandon, the party, the kiss, the call, everything. My eyes start watering and I give Caleb a look saying 'help me'. He asks me to scoot over, as he sits next to me, pulling me into his arms.

"I-I think he cheated on me. No wait, I know that he cheated on me. I saw it with my own eyes." I say crying. Caleb just hugs me tighter and tells me that everything will be alright.

"Don't cry Skylar. I'm here for you. And so is your brother."

"Thank you Luke. Thank you for everything."

"Don't thank me Sweetheart. We've only known each other for a few months but you already mean so much to me." A smile creeps up on my face as he continues.

"And I really don't wanna lose you Skylar."
