I get home and walk into my room to see Eric asleep in my bed, I just get changed into a long t-shirt (that happens to be Aaron's) I climb into bed and quickly fall asleep taking in Aaron's scent.
I know it's wrong but I can't sleep without Aaron, his scent soothes me. I only slept with Eric because I feel lonely and want attention from a guy, maybe I just miss Aaron but I feel like like I need someone beside me.

I walk through the kitchen and onto the balcony as I sip my lemonade, I giggle as I see mum dancing in the lounge with Alexis, they have their music blasting but I can't make out the words. I focus on the music but still can't piece together what is being said which is odd because the song is very clear.
I run downstairs frustrated, I see Aaron so I run towards him. I seem to be running forever yet his only a few meters away, I keep running and slowly I get into the woods. I stop and look around confused "what?" I ask myself, I was is the house just a second ago but now I'm in the middle of the woods.
Aaron sees me and walks over to me smirking, "hey baby" he says as he moves the hair from my face lightly pulling it, I smile and close my eyes "I love you" I whisper as he kisses my forehead, he starts laughing. I step back as I see darkness in his eyes that scares me, "A-Aaron.." I stutter as he walks over to me grabbing my wrist and pushing me to the ground.
I try to stand up but I'm paralysed, he starts punching me and attacking me. I clutch my eyes closed trying to block the tears, "Aaron stop, your hurting me" I yell. He doesn't listen he keeps hitting me and hurting me with his knife, I scream in pain but his smile only grows bigger.
I try to grab his hand but he starts strangling me, "Aaron.. s-stop!" I yell but he only tightens his grip. I scream as I try and reach for breath, darkness quickly consumes me...

I quickly wake up as Eric is on top of me shaking me, I can feel my cheeks are wet from tears and my throat is sore. I stare at Eric with hurt in my eyes already knowing I must have woken him up screaming and crying... I have the same dream every night.

I quickly stand up wiping my tears, "Skyla what's wrong?" He asks as he grabs my wrist, "let go" I say as more tears fall because the way he grabs my wrist reminds me of my dreams. He quickly lets go knowing he is hurting me emotionally, "I'm here for you Skyla, please just talk to me!" He says with his voice cracking, I just shake my head and run out of the room and out of the house.

I run through the woods in wolf form, I run all the way to a clearing where I sit in the centre and close my eyes, the breeze flowing through my fur.
I open my eyes and watch the trees sway in the wind.

Aaron's POV:

I run through the woods until I catch sight of a familiar wolf in a clearing staring at the trees. 'Talk to her' my wolf demands 'no. I'm over her' I answer back abruptly 'no your- actually I'm over disagreeing on you on this! You know you love-' My wolf argues but I block him out before he finishes.

I watch Skyla's intriguing wolf sit still staring at the trees until she turns and stares at me as if she knew I was there the time.
She tilts her head and stands, I slowly start walking towards her.
She also starts walking my way, we meet in the middle and she stares intensely into my eyes. "Turn" I demand as she is still wolf form, she looks away I put my hand on her cheek making her look at me. She quickly turns and my hand still rests on her cold cheek, I stare into her eyes but I notice that her usual playful, sassy, strong self isn't there. Her eyes are a dark blue unlike I've ever seen, i see pain, hurt in her eyes I can see she's been crying and the thing that hurts me the most is I already know I'm the one doing this to her. I look down and smirk as I see she's only wearing a long t-shirt, my long t-shirt.
She quickly looks away pulling away from my hand that's still resting on her face. "Skyla forget me, I'm not good for you" I demand, it just comes out I don't even think about the pain I'm putting her in, "I CANT FORGET YOU WHEN YIUR IN MY HEAD! Everywhere I look Your there I can't even sleep without seeing you... can't you see I'm in love with you Aaron" she says with pain in her voice "you don't love me Skyla" I yell, she looks away. I move so I'm in front of her face, she has tears running down her cheeks, she's broken and I know it. "Skyla, look me in the eyes and tell me you love me" I say knowing she won't be able to "why do you do this to me?" She asks as she looks at me her eyes almost black. "Because I don't love you, why can't you see that?!" I yell, the words coming out more painful then they should, she looks up at me and her eyes show the worst pain I've ever seen, she closes her eyes and turns around slowly walking away "SKYLA!" I call out but she's already turned wolf form and I can hear her cry's as she runs into the distance.

"I don't love her, it was only Lust" I tell myself trying to stop caring that she's broken, 'you've really done it this time' My wolf says annoyed 'I hope she dies so you can feel bad for the rest of your life, you deserve it' My wolf hisses 'Ariana is nothing compared to Skyla and you know it' I close my eyes "SHUT UP!" I yell trying to shut my wolf up but he keeps going.

Skyla's POV:

My heart basically shatters at Aaron's words, I hate that I've let myself fall in love with him. I run off letting the pain consume me as I run past trees barely dodging them. I cry, I scream, I howl trying to make myself feel better but it doesn't work, I just want to curl into a ball and never have to face the world again.
I'm over trying so hard when he gives me nothing in return, I feel like he is slowly pulling me apart, he has control over me and I'm doing nothing to stop him.
He will probably be the death of me and yet he doesn't care if I die.
