Escape

Part 4

          As I stood in the window I heard my Tre call me. I looked over and said to myself now or never. I stepped over and all of a sudden I was pulled back into my room, and into a firm embrace.
"Rachel, Rachel don't do this" and immediately I recognize the voice, Skyler.

       I froze in shock, I hadn't seen him in weeks. He was back, Skyler was back. I turned around and hugged him. His hugs still felt the same, tight yet welcoming. "Rachel, what are you doing. Why would you do something like this", he said looking at me. I hate when he looks at me like that, you can't ever lie to him with it. Although our feelings for each other have faded for each other in the past we were still great friends. As I stood in his arms, I began to cry, I didn't want to die, yet I wanted to so badly. He took me over to the bed and suggested i get some rest.
"I'll check up on you in the morning", he said quietly in my ear. His voice echoed in my head as I dazed off to sleep. At last I was at rest.

     In the morning, I woke up with a massive headache. I sat up and looked at the window, there he was looking out my window. He stood there so tense, yet he looked so peaceful.

"Good Morning to you too", he said to me, turning around.
"Why are you still here, better yet, why are you in my room"?
" Would you like me to leave"?
" Don't use that on me, Sky".
"Okay,okay. How are you feeling"?

Deep down my feelings still thrived for him, from the way he uses his soft and kind words to comfort me, to the way he makes the most horrible jokes.

"I'm fine, just a headache. So why have you come back all of a sudden, just because my parents are dead doesn't mean you have to come to comfort me".

Please stay.

" I only came because I had too. There is something I wanted to tell you. I only just found out about your parents on my way over. But Rachel listen, please, I know about our past, I know what I've done, and I'm sorry. I came back to say I love you."

No, he couldn't, he can't, he can't still love me. I still love him, but am I ready for this, right now. But I still love him.

" Thats  such a coincidence Skyler", I said coming out of bed.
I went to my phone and went to my music app, as he sat on the edge of my bed.

I turned the volume up, and went downstairs leaving Skyler in my room. I went straight to Chad, he was cleaning the blood off the floor. He looked at me, his eyes were red from crying.
"Hey"
"Hey Rachel, how are ya"
"I'm alright, Skyler still loves me"
" You love him to right, so whats the problem", he said looking up for the first time.
" I don't know, where are the others"?
" They went to the beach to distract themselves from what's happened here. For such a big island, we were lucky to live near the sea."
"Your right, I'll go in the shower and then see what i can do for Mr. Skyler up there."
" You have fun with that"
I laughed as I went upstairs, I took a deep breath before opening my room door. As I opened it, I saw he back at the window.

Goodness gracious, he had some good looks to himself.

"Can I take you for some ice cream later"?
"Sure"
"I'll be back around 5, Bye Rachel, I love you, and by the way, You look very stunning today".

Stop with the comments dude, I'm already in love with you and confused about life I don't need to be flattered on the side.

"Okay, I'll be ready"

I love you too, Skyler.
