The Alone Ones

What If I Never Wake Up

Chapter 22

Skye's POV

The moment I seem Liesa and Zayn run the other way, I began to panic.

Where could they be going. They can't leave me.

I can't lose them.

I rush filled my body as I began to chase them down.

Memory after memory flashed as I watched them get closer and closer to the disaster zone.

"Where the hell are you going," I caught hold of Zany's arm.

He yanked free, "To do what we were born to do."

"You can't just leave. What about are little family. You can't leave. You need me," but then I realized they didn't. They don't need me. They have each other, " I need you."

I had never felt so weak.

"Skye," Zayn took my shoulder, "We have to go. It's what we are called to do."

"Skye! Hurry!" I could hear Liam call in the background.

"Skye, it's time to let us go," finally.. I seen Zayn smile again.

The same smile I seen on Christmas night. When for the first time in years it had finally snowed. And we ran out to play in the snow. It was great.

"Keep her safe," I look over at Liesa.

Her silence reassured me she will be fine with him.

Giving a kiss on the cheek to Zayn. And then wrapped Liesa in my arms, "Kick ass."

I seen her smile. They turned and ran hand and hand.

"Skye" I heard Niall yell.

Oh crap. Jarrod.

I ran over to his side.

"Is he okay?" I looked around for an answer.

"Does it look like I'm okay?"

I could hear the pain in Jarrod's voice.

"Can I talk to Skye alone a bit?"

I sat down beside him. Leaning himself against the tree. I could see the blood flowing from his back staining the tree.

"Skye, you know I won't be around forever right?"

"Jarrod. I don't want to talk about this."

He took hold of my hand, "You're like my sister. And I wouldn't leave unless I knew you were safe."

Trying to stay strong but I knew what was coming, "yeah, what's your point?"

"You're safe. Even if the rest of the group leaves I know Niall wouldn't leave your side."

"Stop Jarrod. You're scaring me." I placed my head on his chest and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, easy Skye," he squirmed in pain ,"Skye. You have to be strong. Be that small girl I first met in elementary."

"The ugly girl who beat up boys?" I laughed.

"No. The spirited girl who didn't let anything stop her," he smiled.

I wouldn't let him see me cry. Not now.

"Come on Skye. Smile. You know you need too," I felt a kiss on the top of my head.

"You can't leave Jarrod. You're my bestfriend. My brother. You're the only thing I have left," I held the tears back. But it was killing me inside.
