Staying With The Higgins Boys

Chapter Thirty-Three

Ariels POV -Continued-

Paul and Cheska Stormed in, Paul getting everyone out of the house quicker then i thought possible. Josh and Skye appareaded out of nowhere and Josh looked sick with nerves.

'get in the living room now' Cheska spoke quietly but angirly. They both ran in and Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall aparead quickly following. I went in aswell sitting there waitinfg for the house to be emptied. Eventually it was, Paul and Cheska came in looking unbelievably angry.

'Josh you are out, i dont fucking care where you go, this has happened too many times. If you are still here tomorrow i will phyiscally throw you out, don't bother coming back unitll you've learnt your lesson' Paul spat.

i sat there shocked as Josh left the room first, then Skye and then finally and Paul and cheska. The rest of us sat in stunned silence. I met Harrys eyes guilty across the room but looked away before he had any chance to react. I couldn't deal with him right now, I had to deal with Skye. I sighed heavily and left the room and made my way upstairs. I hesitated outside Josh's room. I had this feeling that Skye would be in there, so when i pushed the door open and she was laying there crumpled and crying on the bed i wasn't suprised. I knew how to act around Skye, she didn't show her emotions very often so when she did i knew something was wrong. Very wrong. I knew that she thought crying made her weak and that she hated it when people saw her in this kind of state. So that's why it really terrified me when she just laid there staring at me, tears flowing down her cheeks. She'd never properly cried in front of me before, she would try and cover it up and be ashamed. I would pretend i hadn't noticed to avoid her getting uncomfortable, it sounds bitchy and horrible but i knew that's why Skye wanted. But right now i knew she didn't want me to look away, to act like i hadn't noticed. She didn't want my normal reaction, but of course nothing was normal right now. Was moving in with nine boys normal? Was your parents dying out of the blue normal? Was the boy she obviously liked leaving the house normal? No, none of those things where normal, so obviously Skyes reaction wouldn't of been her normal one. Maybe it was a twin thing or maybe i just knew Skye so well but in one look of her eye i knew she wanted me to forget her harsh words in the pantry, to forget all the rest of the mess in our lives and just keep her safe right now.

'Skye?' i whispered finally speak up. She blinked at me, not replying but somehow mentally telling me it was ok to come near her. I climbed into Joshs double bed with her and pulled her into a hug.

'I think i like him, like alot' she mumbled into me

The answer i replied was simple

'I know you do' i whispered back to her.

'What am i going to do Ariel? He's gone, he left me.' she whispered back, she hesitated suddenly before speaking up again

'Although i never really had him did i?' she asked me sadly

'He hasn't left you Skye, he didn't want to leave you. Even a blind person could see that skye' i told her 'And i'm going to do everything i can to make sure you get to see him, i promise you' i told her. She smiled at me, she knew i wouldn't break that promise. We fell asleep.
