Silent Whisper

Chapter 4

*Ana's POV*

Hearing Skylar tell me what happened to her I felt so guilty. If I would have been with her it wouldn't have happened to her. If I stopped flirting with the guy I met. I should have been with her. Especially at her first party. I've been so upset these past two weeks because I should have been with her. I feel like somehow this is my fault. I shouldn't have dragged her to the party. I am a terrible best friend. We always had each others back. And this time I failed her. This is my fault. I can't believe Dakota did this. I know it was him. I don't know how I know but i do. Just the way he looked at her that night.  I knew we should have left. If I wasn't so caught up in Josh. Dakota will pay for what he has done. 

Sky and I have been friends since freshmen year. She's always had my back and I've always had hers. First day of school freshmen year a couple kids were being mean calling her names shoving her against the lockers. And it really irritated me. I knew I had to say something. 

"How old are you 5? Really grow the hell up you're in High school." I said when I walked over to the girl on the ground

The kids just gave me look and walked away. I gave her hand and helped her up.

"Hi I'm Ana."

"Skylar" She said quietly

"Come on. Don't worry about them. They have no life. Let's go get lunch" I said with a smile.

And ever since then we've been the best of friends. Now we even live together. When her mom walked out. I was there for her and I didn't want her living alone so I asked my parents if I could move in with her. And to my surprise they said I could. I had a job then. I worked at a clothing store. American Eagle. I managed to save up my money so I can pay half the rent with her. Since she works at the animals shelter. And we have been living alone for a year maybe. Something like that. She got Bandit 6 months ago. He arrived at the shelter so skinny and afraid. She told me She had to have him. He was so tiny and cute. I couldn't say no. Now he is definitely part of the family. He is our protector since he is the only boy. Well for now. If things keep going good with Josh, Bandit can have a break. I really like this guy. He is super nice and super hot. He has blonde hair and green eyes. I could stare in his eyes all day. 

I go over to Sky to see if she needs anything. "Need anything?"

"I'm starving" She says. Then her stomach starts to growl. 

"Haha okay. I'll go see what I can get. I'll be back soon"

"All right" She says. She even smiled. I wonder what she is really thinking. I hope I can help her through this I mean what is wrong with people? You can't just have a party then rape someone! I despise Dakota. I know just where to go to get lunch for Sky. She loves Taco Bell and I know she hasn't been there in awhile. I still can't help but feel so guilty. I really let her down. I don't know if there is anything I can do to fix this. I hope she doesn't secretly hate me. I guess I have to go back and talk to her. We live by certain rules. When we have something on our mind we must talk it out. When I get back I have to face the music. I'm not ready though. She's the closest thing I have to a sister. I don't want to lose her.
