Chapter 9

Skye

That very night of the horror game, I couldn't really sleep that much so I decided to look through some old Hollywood pictures to draw in the near future. I open my computer with my skills of using one arm and log onto tumblr. While scrolling I see the perfect picture of Audrey Hepburn, I save the picture into my files and stand up from my bed to stretch a bit. The window in my room that faced Mark's was open and so was Mark's. I look through and see mark sitting at his office doing something on his computer. I grab my whiteboard and marker and sit by my window.

He had to eventually look through the window and thank god it didn't take him long, when he saw me I wrote something down on the whiteboard.

"Why are you still up?"

He gets his board and writes something.

"Just on tumblr."

"Anything new?"

"Actually a new ship started that involves me."

"Who's the other person?"

"It's you and me, they gave us a ship name of Skyeark."

"I love the name, I guess some saw the video already."

Mark and I laugh and I felt butterflies in my stomach.

"Why are you still up, did the video game keep you up? ;)"

"No I was simply looking for inspiration, okay maybe a bit on the game."

"Don't worry you'll get used to it."

"I better, or I will never get any sleep."

Mark laughs and waves at me.

"Get some sleep, think about something that makes you happy you will fall asleep easily."

"Okay, good night."

I put the whiteboard down and wave to him before closing the curtains.

I take a couple of deep breaths for my ribs and slowly get back onto my bed. I slip under the sheets and cuddle my head into the pillows. I was still wide awake, but I imagined something.

I imagined the pillows as Mark's body, and suddenly I felt a bit better. My mind and body soon fall asleep but my heart just kept going.

*next day*

I had some charcoal drawing that needed to be sprayed, I was able to do that. So I had my small mask on and my headphones on. The last time I was in here I almost got killed but I had to move on from that. Thankfully Jacob was able to clean it, I wouldn't be able to be in here if he didn't.

As I was spraying the pieces, I could feel another presence behind me, but I ignored it. But then I feel a small tap on my shoulder and I got so scared that I ended up spraying them in the face, but then I realised it was mark.

"Oh my god mark, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you."

"It's okay, at least you didn't get my eyes."

"I'm sorry, let me help you clean it off."

I then grab his hand and bring him to my room. Once in I sit him on the bed and get a rag with some water. I walk back to him and sit in front of him to wash away the spray. I gently press the rag to his face and rub away the spray.

Mark

As Skye rubbed away the spray I couldn't help but sort of look at her fully. Her lips were a shade that I never fully looked at, her eyes were sparkled, and the way she smiled was beautiful.
