The Next Generation

Chapter 11

Skye's POV:

Cody took me to the hospital to get my arm checked. I didn't want  the others coming with us because I just needed to be alone.  But I made an exception for Cody to come with me. He was always the one that was there for me out if those four. At the funeral he was right by my side hugging me because I couldn't stop crying.

"Skylar?" Cody brought me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah." I say looking from him to my doctor.

"I asked you if you could follow me to the X-ray room to get that arm checked out. We need to know how much of it is broken." My doctor said. I nodded and got up. We went to the room and they X-rayed my arm. Turns out I broke my wrist, my forearm, and shattered my elbow. So they gave me a cast that will hold everything together and they are doing a surgery on my elbow a week from today. How does my life turn out this way?

"We will get in contact with one of your parents to let them know everything that has happened."

"I'll tell them. You are welcome to call tomorrow to schedule a meeting with them or something. But I need to tell them myself." I told him with a kind smile.

"Okay. Well Skylar I'll see you next Monday for your surgery. Be careful with that arm. Can't damage it more." He said. I nodded and walked out. Cody signed the papers and we left.

"Is that Austin?" I asked pointing to a car that looked like Austin's.

"Yes. I asked him to come pick us up." Cody said. I nodded and we got in.

"What's the verdict?" Austin asked me when I got in.

"Broken wrist, forearm, and shattered elbow. I'm getting surgery next Monday." I told him with a distracted tone.

"Well Cody looks like we are staying an extra week." Austin said. Cody nodded and we left for home.

"Moms home." I said looking a her car parked in the driveway.

"She showed up about five minutes after we got home. She doesn't know what happened. We just told her that you and Cody went for a walk because if what happened at school. So she's in for a surprise when she sees you." Austin told us.

"I don't want to go." I told them.

"You have to. I'm not letting you live in my car." Austin said with slight playfulness in his voice. I giggled a little.

"She's going to be mad at me. It's my fault." I said with tears in my eyes. Cody hugged me and stayed clear of my messed up arm. I used my good arm ad hugged him back crying harder.

"It's going to be okay. She won't get mad at you. I won't let her." Cody whispered in my ear.

"Let's go guys." Austin said. He pointed to dad's truck pulling into the driveway. I stood in between Cody and Austin so I could keep myself hidden. And it worked.

"Austin Cody." Dad said. "Skylar." It worked for a second.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Why are you hiding?" He asked me.

"Skylar Marie get your ass in here now!" Mom yelled from the doorway.

"Mom it wasn't her fault. Danica started it. We just finished it!" Ella yelled to mom.

"You got knocked out Ella." Mom said. I turned around and started walking away.

"What happened?" Dad said pointing to my arm.

"Nothing." I said walking faster.

"Skylar answer me now!" He yelled.

"I crashed my car. I was scared about what would happen so after the fight I got into my car and left. They couldn't find me four five hours. But they didn't want to call y'all because you would've tried to find me. I didn't want to be found and they knew that but they still tried anyways. Well I was crying so much that I couldn't see in front of me. I went to pull over when someone honked at me. I swerved the car and I crashed. I broke my wrist and my forearm. And I'm having surgery on Monday because I shattered my elbow. This is all my fault. It's my fault that Ella got knocked out. It my fault that I broke my arm. It's my fault that my family is getting bullied. Everything is my fault. Every fucking thing!" I yelled. I fell to my knees crying.

"Skylar look at me." I heard Lucas. He's here. I looked up ad he was right in front of me.

"It's my fault." I whispered. He hugged me and I instantly felt better.

"Skye please it's not your fault. It's not any of our faults." He whispered to me. I helped me up and I saw mom and dad looking at me.

"It's not your fault." Mom said. Dad agreed with her.

"I want to go to bed." I said without any room to argue. I left Lucas's arms and went straight to my room. Ignoring everyone. I just need to be alone right now.

I cried myself to sleep last night. No one tried to come in or talk to me. I got texts from each of the guys saying how much they loved me. My phone wasn't destroyed in the wreck. I had it in my back pocket the whole time so it didn't get damaged. I just left it in the car after I called Cody.

I woke up to a sharp pain in my arm. I looked at my clock and saw that it was five fourth five in the morning. I might as well get up because I'm not going back to sleep. I took some pain killers that my doctor gave me yesterday and went to my bathroom to take a shower. This is going to be very difficult. I managed to take a shower. It wasn't easy but I did it. After that I managed to get my shirt and pants on. Along with my converse. My hair was still wet ad I really couldn't do anything with it. So I called Ella and asked her if she could braid it. She came to my room ten minutes later and braided it for me and then helped me cover my bruises on my face. She begged me to let her do my makeup so I let her. So I ended up looking very pretty today.

"Dad's taking us to school. JJ stayed at a friends house last night so they are taking him to school. And same with Addison." Ella told me walking out. I nodded and grabbed my phone following her.

"Hey how are you feeling?" Hunter asked when I got to the kitchen. I gave him a smile.

"I've been better. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt y'all." I said. I hugged all four of them and they returned it gently.

"You hungry?" Mom asked handing me a plate of pancakes. I looked at it and decided that I should eat. I'm supposed to eat with that medicine. So I cut them the best I can and eventually gave up with a huff. Hunter chuckled a little ad cut them for me. I thanked him and ate my food. When we were all done dad took us to school.

"What if people talk about me? Say that Danica did this to me? What if Danica tells everybody that she jumped me and she's the one that broke my arm?" I kept ranting the whole way there. They were getting very annoyed. Kyle even yelled at me to shut up. So I did for about twenty seconds and started again. We pulled into the parking lot and all got out. Lucas and the boys were right beside us as soon as we stepped out. And the first person I saw was Danica. She covered her bruises with makeup but she didn't do a good job on it. My family decorated my cast this morning and I'm going to let the boys decorate some of it today at lunch. Danica looked at one of her minions and they all looked over at us. The boys are the only ones that have bruises on their faces. Me and Ella and Kyla covered our. Her minions that ran off yesterday morning during the fight all stared at me. Then one if them started laughing. Then they all joined in. But Danica and the one that Jackson cheated on me with stayed quiet. They just had fear written all over their faces. I saw Jackson coming over to Danica. He followed her gaze over to me and his eyes widened when he saw my cast. A look of guilt passed by his face and stayed there. I just kept walking into the school. It's time to face the day.
