The Next Generation

Chapter 7

Ella's POV:

"Hey do you know where Skylar is. She did t come to class today?" Kyle asked us.

"She's at home." I told them.

"What happened? She saw me in the hall this morning and she was crying." Hunter said in his overprotective voice.

"Jackson. Danica. The fact that she hasn't been fully here lately. The fact that she was told that she wasn't wanted here." I told them. Dean, Lucas, and Andrew were all sitting with us. Jared wasn't here today so he couldn't.

"She doesn't deserve this." Lucas said out of nowhere.

"No she doesn't." We all agreed.

"We're coming over today." Dean said. More of a command than a question.

"Why?" Kyla asked him.

"Because Skylar is our friend. And after everything that happened today we have to be there to support her." Dean replied. We nodded.

"Did she really do that to Danica?" Hunter asked looking over at her.

"She was unconscious for five minutes. If Lucas didn't pull her off when he did it would've been worse. She did it because Danica laughed at her." I told them.

"This isn't the first time though." Hunter said with a frown. I nodded and the boys looked confused.

"She put a guy in the hospital for picking on Kyle and Kyla at our old school." I told them. Kyle looked down.

"What did the guy do?" Dean asked in complete curiosity.

"He made fun of us when my mom and dad died. He was really rude. Told us we should've died too. We were in the car when it happened. Mom ad dad died on impact. I was in coma for two weeks. Kyle had a concussion. She our sister took us in." She stopped when she realized what she just said.

"Sister?" Lucas asked.

"Kyle and Kyla aren't really our cousins. They are our aunt and uncle. My mom and my grandma got pregnant within months of each other. We came earlier than my mom thought. She told us it was because Hunter had his umbilical cord around his neck. Doctors did an emergency c-section on her. Grandma was due to have these two that day as well. Hunter was born at exactly 12:01 am. Then me. Then Skylar. These two were born around six into the morning." I told them. They were left speechless. The bell for the end if lunch rang so we all went to class. I couldn't help but think of what we talked about in lunch.

School was finally out so we all went out to Skylar's car to go home.

"We can still go right?" Lucas asked. I nodded. He went to his car ad was out before we even got into ours. He seemed the most worried.

"We're home." I said when we walked into the living room to see uncle Jakob on the couch.

"Hey." He said with a sad smile.

"Is Skye okay?" Lucas asked.  Uncle Jakob looked down and shook his head.

"She hasn't come out at all. I've tried to give her food but her door is locked. Every time I went up there she was crying." He said looking up at us.

"Can I go try?" Lucas asked. There was a bit if hope in his eyes.

"You can try." We all said. He nodded and went upstairs.

Lucas's POV:

I walked up the stairs knowing which room to go to. I heard silent sobs from the other side of the door. It broke my heart. I really like this girl.

"Skye?" I said knocking on the door. She didn't answer. "Skye it's me Lucas. Can I come in please?" I said. I heard shuffling and then it stopped.

"Lucas?" She said from the other side of the door.

"Yes." I said. I heard the door unlock and she opened it. I didn't waste a second. I pulled her into a tight hug. She hugged me back and started to cry harder.

"Why does it have to happen to me?" She sobbed into my chest. I just rubbed her back.

"Honestly Skye I don't know. I really don't. But I can tell you one thing. Those people down there love you. We all love you. Skylar don't listen to anyone else at school. Because you have the people that you need with you here. So please come down with me. You need to eat." I told her. She still had her head on my chest. I felt the smile form on her face. Which made me smile.

"One sec." She sad and ran to the bathroom. She came out about two minutes later and there was no sign that she had been crying. She still had her clothes on from school. She looked down and smiled. I smiled back at her. She went to her closet and came back out in a pair of sweats and a guys t-shirt. Maybe one of Hunter's or Kyle's.

"Okay. I'm ready." She sad with a smile. She had let her hair down into waves. She looked so adorable. I felt her hand touch mine and the next thing I knew was she had our fingers intertwined. And that made me smile. She stopped at the top of the stairs and turned to me. She kissed my cheek.

"Thank you." She said in a whisper.

"No need to thank me." I said and we walked down the stairs.

"Oh thank god." Dean if all people said hugging her. She giggled and hugged him back.

"I love you guys." She said when he let her go. Everyone smiled and we all went into a group hug. "Can't. Breathe." She said in between breathes. We had her right in the middle. Everyone laughed and pulled away.

"So. Do you like my sister?" Hunter sad out of nowhere. I heard Jakob laugh in the background.

"Yes I do." I said without hesitation.

"Skye do you like my brother?" Dean said.

"Yes." She said also without hesitation.

"I now pronounce you boyfriend and girlfriend." Jakob said out if nowhere. Skye blushed and buried her face into my chest.

"I'll allow it." Scott said walking through the door. Followed by Adlynn.

"Daddy." Skye jumped out of my arms and into her dad's. He chuckled and hugged her back.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked her.

"I am now thanks to Lucas." She said with a smile.

"Hey I tried you just refused me. Your own uncle." Jakob said and we all laughed.

"I love you." She said. He just laughed and hugged her. We all went into the kitchen and started eating anything we could find. Skye stayed by me the whole time.

"I love you." She whispered. I looked down at her and she was already looking at me.

"I love you too." I told her. She smiled and hugged me. She's so cute.
