Silent Whisper

Chapter 9

*Matthew's POV*

Skylar is so gorgeous. I can't get over the fact that she doesn't see it. We have spent two hours getting to know each other. I wish I was more than a friend. I want to know everything about her. For some reason ever since I saw her I was drawn to her. She is amazing. I just want to protect her. 

I found out that she is a senior like myself. Her parents aren't together. She and Ana live here alone with their dog. She is really good in school. Which I could already tell. She just looked smart. But for some reason I don't feel like I really got to know her. Like shes hiding something or I don't know but I want to find out. I want her to be really comfortable with me so then I can hopefully become more than friends.  I told her almost everything about me. I moved here in the beginning of summer. I'm originally from England. I don't really have much of an accent. Sometimes it comes out a little. And now I am living in Nebraska. And it is really pretty here. I like it here a lot. My parents stayed in England. I decided to move when I turned 18.

"Well I guess I should go see what Josh is doing" I say to her. It is almost 11pm. 

"Oh yeah I guess we should check on them"

And we walk out of the room together.

*Sky's POV*

I really learned a lot about Matthew. And I like to get to know him. Of course I didn't tell him what happened to me. Even though it was a month ago now. But still he doesn't need to know. No one does. I am not ready for school next week. Even though it is my senior year and last year, it is still school. I am not popular at all. No one really knows me. I tend to stay quiet. But we will see what happens next week. 

We go downstairs and hear the TV and see them still on the couch. They were all wrapped up in each other. We look at each other and smile and nod.

"BOO!" We both say as we jump off the steps. 

And they both jump and Ana screams. Matthew and I started laughing uncontrollably. That was the funniest thing that has happened to me. Then we are both hit with pillows. And I am still laughing. 

"Alright Josh come on. We have to go home now." 

"What time is it?" Josh asks. You could tell he just woke up

"Almost 11" 

"Oh shoot. Yeah we have to go" 

They get their shoes while Ana and I walk them towards the door. Josh takes Ana's hand and leads her outside where they start to make out. Leaving Matthew and I standing by the door. Alone.

"Well I guess i'll see you monday when school starts" Matthew says as he smiles

"Yes you will"

"Well good bye Skylar" 

"Good bye Matthew" I say as he walks out. Just when i'm about to turn around

"Hey Skylar?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I have a hug good bye since I won't see you until Monday?" Matthew says with a puppy face

"Ha okay, sure"

He comes back over to me and gives me a big hug. He even picks me up. He just picked me up like it was nothing. 

"There. Now I can leave" He says with a wink

"Okay. Good bye Matthew"

"Wait!" What the heck?

I just look at him with a "go on" look

"Can I have your number? Since you know we are great friends and all" He says nervously and scratches his head. Why is he nervous?

"Yeah sure" I say and find a pen and write my number on his hand.

"Thanks Skylar" 

"No problem. Now good bye Matthew"

"Good bye and good night Skylar" He says as he gets in the car. 

"Good night Matthew" I whisper to myself

Ana gives Josh one last peck until she runs over to me.

"Well that was fun. We should do it again sometime" She says to me with a smile.

"Yeah. That was fun... You and Josh are cute"

"Thanks. You and Matthew are too" She says with a big smile

"No we are not because there is no we. He is my friend" I say in a matter of fact tone

"Yeah yeah friend surreee" she says putting quotation marks when she said friend

"We are now it is really late we need some sleep" I said

"Yeah yeah yeah. You're going to make a good mother one day" She says as she walks upstairs

I walk upstairs too and go in my room with Bandit right behind me. Mother? I have never thought about having kids. Of course I'm still young. Hmmm. Well before I even think of kids I need to have a husband first. 

I quickly change and get in my bed. And let sleep consume me. 

I feel a sting on my cheek. Then another one. Someone is hitting me. It hurts so badly I start crying.

"Please stop" I cry to my attacker

"Shut up you little bitch" and he hits me again

Light shines into the room and I can see his face. It's Dakota. He starts ripping my clothes off. And continues to hit me with every sound I make.

"please stop" I whisper. But no one can hear my silent whisper
