Sky woke up with a jolt as soon as she felt the soft mattress underneath her and hands holding her. She began to hyperventilate when she looked at the familiar red and black colors across the room then at Liam's face, whose voice seems muted at first as he spoke frantically.

Slowly his voice began more audible to her senses; he was frantically calling her name, asking what was wrong.

"What happened Liam?" Sky asked as her breathing evened out and her vision focused along with her hearing senses.

"You were hyperventilating Sky. You slept the entire way and I was just lying you on the bed and you began to hyperventilate before the back even touched the mattress. What happened? Was it a nightmare or something?" Liam asked concerned and Sky felt attracted to him because of this.

He was so caring and she knew this was the real him, behind the strong, strict, rigid and scary mask he had placed he was a caring person, maybe for selective people, but caring nonetheless.

Sky realized she had zoned out and looked at him.

"It wasn't a nightmare. I barely get any dream you know." Sky said softly and Liam believed her but still didn't let the matter slide.

"Then why did- Did Carson do something to you?" Liam asked abruptly as the nuts in his head began to work and Sky remembered all the things Carson did to her.

Sky looked down at her lap as Liam sat beside her on the bed.

"Sky, please tell me what he did to you." Liam said and cupped Sky's cheeks, making her look at him. Liam's touch was soft and longing not burning or rough like Carson's. But his question did bring back memories she was trying to suppress. A tear rolled down Sky's cheek as she looked into Liam's eyes.

"Liam-" She began to say but her voice cracked and she looked down as tears flood from her eyes down her cheek.

Liam quickly brought in for a hug, gently rocking her back and forth before laying down with her on top of him, sobbing into his chest as he gently stroked her hair mumbling that he was sorry.

After some time Sky stopped and Liam thought she had fallen asleep when she got up and sat across from him.

"He touched me Liam-" Sky said and covered her mouth with her hand to stop the sob, but continued.

"-And if you didn't come, he would have raped me because in a twisted way he was in love with me." Sky finished and began sobbing again.

Liam looked at her with pain. This was his fault. This was his entire fault.

"Sky, I'm sorry." Liam said and Sky shook her head.

"It's not your fault. I'm just weak." She said and roughly wiped the tears.

"I don't care what happens next but if he gets me, I'll kill myself before he even has a chance to try anything on me." Sky said daringly and Liam looked at her shocked and he reached for her, holding her close to him.

"Don't say that. I promise you Sky, no matter what happens, he won't get you, ever. I won't let him come close to you again, especially for my doings." Liam said.

"Why did you do it anyway? Why did you kill his brother?" Sky asked and Liam stiffened.

So Carson had told her his side of the story.
