BACK TO LOVE.

PARTIAL UNVEILING

Skylar's p.o.v

As we made our way into the fairground I noticed her each and every move which were more like rebuilding a self which others wanted, not what she was. I still can't believe my eyes or the girl in front of me.

' "NO... NO..." she shivered. I was beside her but Andrea was engrossed in whatever she was staring into her phone. I peeped in to see texts. I didn't know what they said but it clearly wasn't a good news. I was processing what to do when I was welcomed by a shaking Andrea instead of liveliness and cheerful face. "Andrea...?" that's when she noticed me beside her. Her eyes were wide open and in shock. She didn't want me to see her in this state I gather. She moved away turning her face away. "Skylar... I'm fine.. I'm just cold.. that's it." She answers to my concern and the lies were easy to be lined up as I saw something was clearly wrong moments ago. I kept asking for which she kept drawing to diversions.'

"Skylar! Cotton candy! I love those." She runs to the stall pulling me with her.

I don't know if I should let it slip or confront. "where are others?" she asks. I can't find words. She is all back to normal for all eyes except for mine which saw the minutes of reality.

Andrea's p.o.v

I didn't know I would have a break down in the middle of nowhere when I received the daily texts of hates. I never want anyone to worry about me. I tried my best to hold myself but feelings overpowered. I was lost and Skylar's presence was unnoticed until he decided to encounter.

I don't know why he has such an effect of me. Him .. everything about him forces me to spill all my burning pieces, to let go. Something I lost long back makes feeble appearances every now and then when I'm with him 'TRUST'. I missed It's essence even when I feared to.

"You want some?" I ask him extending the huge cotton candy lolled in stick towards him. He shakes his head. The silent treatment is killing me slowly like poison crawling up my veins. I try to make small talks for which I receive nods and hums.

"Skylar you know something..." I give another try but no reaction.

"Andrea stop acting like you are fine. What is going on?" He says after a while. Why can't he just ignore like everyone does. Why can't I react to him tough and stay away from him?

"It's nothing Skylar..." I say but get cut off.

"of course... Nothing... Andrea, is it because you don't trust me? Why won't you tell? " he asks looking at me.

I don't have answer for that. If I ever feel the warmth of trust it's when I'm with you. But I can't seem to shout it out to you.... I'm scared. All I do is stare into those deep eyes on mine.

"It's okay if you don't.... seriously but please don't hurt yourself. You need to talk out whatever is bothering you." He goes on and I just stare at him with words trapped in my throat. He doesn't care if I trust him or not. Such a terrible liar he is.

"You are a terrible liar Skylar." I reply.

He knits his eyebrows and look down. "so are you." He replies and begins to walk off. I don't know what got within me... I took his wrist asking him to stay.

"Why do you care Skylar? None of them ever noticed ... but you... Why?" I ask. I see a small curve on his lips. I reciprocated as if I was programmed to.

"I seriously don't know.... But yeah .. I do." He replies.

I let out a small chuckle upon hearing that. He smiles wide.

"There is a lake just few steps away from here. If you don't mind... we can go for a walk. I think it will help you." Skylar asks.

"Louis..." but I get cut off.

"Actually... he left. He got some plan to work out." Skylar informs me and I wonder what is he up to.

"No excuses, because... it was Lou who suggested it." Hearing this I was really shocked. I could feel blood rushing to my cheeks.

"let's go?" he asks.

Left with no choice I nod.

The walk was silent. Comfortable one. The soothing breeze, orange tinted sky, the chirpy birds returning to their nests.... Everything in the process of rest.

"How do you feel?" he asks.

"calm" I take a heavy breathe. He smiles wider.

"I love this time of the day. I just love it!" I exclaim.

"I know you do." He says and I wonder how... I never told him anything.

"I always see you by the woods, when I return from the ground after football." He says. "one day I asked Ruby why you always go there and then she told me that you are 'nature's lover' " I chuckle upon the term.

"seriously! She told you that I'm nature's lover. She is nuts." We laugh at that.

I see the glistening golden water in front of me.

" Are you really enjoying this or acting as you always do." These words hit me hard, then it strikes me how we ended up here.

"Don't start already. I just want to leave it behind." I try to slither away. He sighs.

"it's not that I don't trust you. It's.... something that began long back and still goes on. Don't worry ... I'll survive." I force a smile. Words were like waves out of me and I felt the feeling of unburdening.

"I am always there for you. I want you to know that. Alright?" his hand finds mine. It all felt like a dream. We remained silent watching the beauty in front of us.

"Are you ever going to tell me?" he asks in a low whisper.

"I hope I'll find the strength to do so." I squeeze his hands "one day..." assuring him.

" This feels right... just right." I say out of contentment and calmness that overtook me. Realising he just heard that made my cheeks red.

" Lou was right when he said 'she looks like a tomato' " he giggles. "shut up!" I punch his side playfully and join in with giggles.

"can we go home? It's getting late." I ask looking at the time.

"Yea! I'll drop you. Let me just inform the power couple, Peter and Ruby. " he walks off to call peter while I chuckle at his reference.

Skylar , the only one who found ME.

"Take care.... We will meet tomorrow." He says as I get to my house. "you too. And... thanks... for everything." I tell him.

"I want you to be happy... forever. Bye."

We turn our ways with wide smiles. My mind was full of the images of eventful today as I turn the knob to my bedroom.

I was attacked from both sides with pillows and I wince. "surprise!!!!" I hear Kaitlin and Christian shout into my ears.

Okay! The days are going to be heavily eventful with three partners in crime around me!
