Terrible story, don't read. I didn't have my own mind when I started this, and only wrote what everyone else was writing. This isn't me and I hope you don't judge me by it. Probably deleting soon.

I watch as the girl I love, walks out of the silent classroom. A piece of my heart broke off when she gave me that look. That look that says she's sad. That's she's broken. That she's done.
Well I'm not.
I stand up and rush to the door, only to be stopped by a strong hand latching onto my wrist.
"Let. Go." I growl out.
"Grayson. I know this is hard, and you want to be there for her. But she needs to be alone right now. After school I'll take you to the waterfall to find her. But right now, give her time to think." Mr. Jones says quietly.
I freeze and turn around slowly. I jerk my hand away from him and lean in closer.
"How do you know about the waterfall?" I ask lowly.
"There's a lot you don't know about me. For starters, I'm her uncle. I also know about the abuse and her family. She would always stay with me when things with her father got really bad. I've known her mother since highschool, and I've known Sky since birth. I know she wants-no. Needs space right now."
My eyes widen, shock evident in my features. He knew... I nod my head slowly and walk back to my desk, ignoring the looks of confusion on my classmates faces.
I grab the paper off Skylar's desk and turn it over to see the drawing. It's a very detailed sketch of an eye. Though instead of the colorful emotion and beauty, there's bars like in a cage, with a hand wrapped tightly around one of them.

I think back to when Sky told me her worst fear.
"That I'll wake up one day and everyone will see me the way I see myself."
So that's what this is. She never shows the real her, so it's as if she's trapped in her own body. She sees herself as an ugly, fat girl. But she locks that one away and displays a thin and beautiful one.
Little does she know that the girl she hides, is twice as beautiful as the one she shows the world. ______________________________________
Grayson's P.O.V. ~ After School
Mr. Jones and I are currently on our way to the waterfall where Skylar most likely went.
Spencer, Carter, Isaac and Elliot all insisted on coming too. But we told Elliot no, since Sky never showed him the waterfall and we don't want to bring him without her permission. Even though that's how the guys and I found it...
The others decided to take their own car and follow behind us. Meanwhile I'm sitting awkwardly in the passenger seat of Mr. Jones' car.
I stay silent as his eyes remain focused on the road ahead of us. He speeds skillfully down the street, passing any cars in our way. It's obvious that he's just as worried about her as I am, I respect him for that.
