Love Will Remember

Chapter 6

~Skyler's POV~

Last bell finally rung signaling that it was time to go home. I gathered my things as Justin asked, "Want me to walk you home?" "I don't know Justin. It's already bad enough that I'm talking to you. If Derek finds out, we're both dead."I said biting the inside of my cheek. "What he doesn't know won't kill him." Justin said with a smile. I rolled my eyes and headed out the classroom door.

I made my way to my locker and noticed that Justin was following me. "Why are you following me J?" I asked, putting my combination into the lock.

"Just so I know where I can meet up with my future girlfriend in the morning." Justin said, sending me a wink.

I rolled my eyes again and said, "Not a chance Justin. We just became friends. Just because you look different doesn't mean I'm falling head over heels for you. Don't flatter yourself."

"Chill Sky. I was just messing with you." Justin chuckled. "I'm going to walk you home. Why else would I be at your locker?" he asked.

"I don't know Justin probably to stalk me?" I said with a smile on my face.

"Why would I need to stalk you if I already know everything about you?" Justin said.

"That was a rhetorical question Justin. You didn't need to answer." I said, closing my locker. I look around the halls trying to find Chelsey and Derek. Chelsey wasn't in any of our classes together and I haven't seen Derek since this morning.

"Well I guess it's your lucky day. Since I can't find Chelsey or Derek you can walk me home." I said giving him a smile.

I saw Justin's eyes brighten as we headed out the door. "I still can't believe we have every class together." I said in disbelief.

"I'm not that surprised. I mean we have had every class together these past three years.." Justin mumbled.

"Really?" I asked, shock clearly visible in my voice.

"Yeah. You were always too busy with your other friends that you didn't even notice me." He said, a sad smile making its way onto his face.

"Oh Justin I'm sorry. If I knew we had classes together we probably would've been friends again a lot sooner." I said, stopping and giving him a tight hug.

He suddenly chuckled as he hugged me back. "It's ok Sky. Really. It's in the past now. We can start over again." He said, letting go of our hug.

"Yeah. No more drama or anything." I replied back.

We began approaching my house in a comfortable silence as gun shots were suddenly heard. "Get in the bushes!" Justin yelled as he reached into his back pocket.

I ran to the bushes and crouched by them. It's a good thing the bushes were bigger than I was or the shooters would be able to see me.

There was a small gap between the bushes so I could see what was happening.

There were three guys that looked my age who ran from the opposite direction. They slowed down and caught their breaths. "That little fucker should've known what he got himself into." one spat. "I know. Would've given him another chance if that dumb ass didn't call the cops." another snapped.

There was a sudden snap of a trigger being pulled. "Put your hands where I can see them." a deadly voice growled.

Instead of listening, the three turned around and laughed. "Oh Bieber. Are you really one to be talking?" the third guy chuckled.

Justin? With a gun? That's impossible.

"You know you're not supposed to be in this side of town. You better be fucking making your way back to your side of town before I get the guys." he growled.

"And what? We're supposed to be scared of you? You don't even have the balls to pull that trigger all the way." A tall, blonde guy said.

"Oh really now." Justin said, an evil smirk appearing on his face. "Be careful what you say, Chip."

In a blink of an eye, there was a loud bang and the guy who's name is Chip was down on the floor. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand.

I just witnessed Justin killing somebody.

My best friend is a murderer.
