The Unknown (STOPPED)

Chapter 11

Not Edited 

Recap

I look over the cliff and stare off, taking a moment of silence and a moment to absorb the beauty of the sun starting to set before starting my story and before finally letting someone in after a very long time. Because I deserved to finally let someone in and Nick deserved a chance to be trusted.

"Look Nick, what I am about to tell you is something very personal. No one really knows why I am like this except for two people, one of them is my best friend, I am sorry I cannot tell you that person's name yet, and the other person is Harry. 

Both of them know for different reasons. Harry knows because he is one of the reasons I am very closed off, and he was also my breaking point, and my best friend knows because, my best friend was the one who pulled me out of my depression. I won't tell you what has happened to me, causing me to be closed off, but I will tell you my reasoning... Nick my past is full of a lot of hurt, hurt caused by people I cared about, the people who I thought cared about me too. You see Nick when it comes to the people I care about I become naïve, I give them my everything, and people know that. Everyone who has come to me has always used me and then threw me aside once they were done. Or they found someone else they thought better than me, because I was never enough.

 Nick this also plays into why I don't date. Yes, one of the reasons is that I never stick around one place for too long, but I have been here long enough, that I should have been with someone by now, but I chose not to. Anyways after what happened with Harry in 9th grade, it was my final breaking point, he showed me how truly naïve I was, and during this time I was just starting to become friends with my best friend, and when I had my fight with Harry I pushed him away, in fact I started to push everyone away, and I doubted everyone. I started to go into a state of depression, I don't know if you remember. But, my best friend was determined to break through to me, and bring me out of my state of depression. 

Sure it took him a long time because I had started building my walls tall and strong, but he broke through because I knew he was genuinely worried about me. Ever since then me and him are inseparable, yet we keep our distance in front of others because no one really needs to know what happened.

I am pretty sure you are wondering why then you just saw me jumping into Harry's arms. Well, Harry realized that what he said to me crushed me big time, and he came back to apologize to me again and again, but I wouldn't have any of it, during this time me and my best friend were becoming better friends. But, once I was completely out of my depressed state, I decided to forgive Harry, and of course my best friend was not happy with this, but I made sure to make Harry live back up to my trust, and look at him now, he has lived back up to his promise to never hurt me again. He still feels sorry what he did to me, but I thank him because without his final push I wouldn't have broken down, and me and my best friend wouldn't have gotten close, and I wouldn't have learnt how to stand up for myself. You see Nick so many, things have happened to me to make me close down to everyone, and I have major trusting issues. I don't want you to feel bad, because I am not like this with you only, I am like this with everyone." I tell him ending my story.

I looked down at Wolfy and he looked back up at me with concern and sadness laced in his eyes, and that is when I felt my traitorous tears falling down my facing. "I love you Wolfy." I whispered to him while rubbing his head softly, and looked back up at Nick who stared at me wide eyed.

Nick POV

Once Sky was done telling her story, I looked at her in shock, and she looked like she was in some distant land, replaying all of the events in her life that has led her to become this.

Once she snapped out of it she looked like she was going to break, she looked down at Wolfy and whispered, "I love you Wolfy." While rubbing his head softly and tears finally ran down her face. Then she finally looked up at me.

Listening to her story has explained so much to me and it has also helped me understand this fragile person who is Sky. I now understood that she didn't want to be vulnerable anymore and that she wanted to stand up for herself now, and I completely respect her for that.

I looked at her tear stained face and took both of her hands in my hands and placed a firm grip on them, "Skylar McCassy, I promise you that I will never in my life time be one of those people who will leave you once you have opened up to them. I want you to know that if I have your true friendship then it will make me the happiest person in the world, but I just need you to give me a chance to show you that I can be a person you can trust, because even though neither of us know each other that much, you already mean so much to me." I tell her.

After my little but determined speech was over she looked at me with wide but sad eyes, and her tears were coming continuously now. Then after a couple more seconds of silence she lightly pushed Wolfy off of her and launched herself at me, hugging me for dear life.

"Nick, thank you so much, I know now that I can trust you with everything I have, everything you just said I know came genuinely, I love you so much Nick." She whispered into my ear and I hugged her back and whispered, "Anything for you Sky, anything for you."

After that she let me go and we just sat down on the small cliff and watched the sun set together just enjoying the view and we decided on finishing the project later on in the week.

Sky POV

Me and Nick just relaxed for the rest of the day and decided we would just finish the project later on in the week. Once the sun set me and Nick decided it was time to go so after saying bye to Wolfy me and Nick started to make our way back to his car and then Nick drove me back home.

As soon as I entered my house I dialed Jake up and told him about everything that happened today while changing, and after I was done I laid down on my bed and continued to talk to Jake. Jake was shocked at first because of Nick's outburst angry even for yelling at me like that, but then he got over it and came to the conclusion that he was happy for me that I found a new person I could trust, and plus if Wolfy didn't eat him up then that has to be a good sign according to Jake and I died of laughter at that.

Jake and I continued talking him telling me about his day and other random things until I fell asleep talking to him. I guess this is how it's going to be from now on when I am home alone me going to sleep talking to Jake or he could come over more often, I know his parents don't mind, in fact they want him to stay over at my house a lot, I guess they are just like ordinary protective parents over me, but I love them because they consider me their own daughter.
