Chapter 2 Jason POV

 She fell asleep in my arms. She never answered my question. What happened to her? Who has treated her so bad? She seemed like such a nice person. I do not easily trust people, but I feel so drawn towards this girl. At the same time I see strength in her I see how fragile she is too. I hate to see someone so broken.

 Then I realized something. I was holding an almost stranger in my arms. I had let her cry in my arms. I even hugged her, and I didn’t feel awkward at all... What’s going on? Just then my phone went off. Skye didn’t even stir. She must have been really tired.

 “Hello?”

 “Yo, Jason my man, it’s Jared.”

 “Oh, hey man.”

 “I heard you live by that freak, what’s her name? Sally?”

 “Her name is Skye, but yeah, I live near her. Why?”

 “Well, I was thinking you could get some information about her, and you know tell us. We can use it against her. Maybe she will leave, or go die. No one wants her around anyway.”

 “Why are you guys so mean to her?”

 “Mean? We aren’t mean to her! She’s a freak. Also, she never gets angry at us of tells us to stop. So what’s the problem?”

 “I don’t really think she’s a freak...”

 “Man, you better watch your words. You might not be allowed to hang out with us.”

 “Who’s us?”

 “The popular people of course. Anyway you can hang out with the losers if you want, but I guarantee that it won’t end well if you get along really well with Sally.”

 “It’s Skye, but whatever.”

 “You’ll regret it one day, being so kind to her isn’t going to do any good for you. She always wears a hood to cover her face. Most of the time she wears long pants and sleeves. She never swims or anything. It’s like she’s hiding something.”

 “So what if she is. Bullying her isn’t helping her.”

 “Look dude, she isn’t complaining. She never has. Ever since her mom died when she was little she’s been really strange OK? We actually used to be pretty close, and I guess I feel sorta bad about the things we do to her, but she kicked us out of her life!”

 “So you decided to hurt her?”

 “Look dude, don’t tell, but when I was younger I had sort of a crush on her OK? I felt really bad when no one could do anything to help her. Everyday I watched her break more and more. She soon shut herself away. She always has this fake smile on her face now and it’s horrible.”

 “You know she’s really pretty if you really look at her?”

 “How do you know?” Jared asked.

 “I’m with her now, but she’s asleep in my arms.”

 “Dude! She let you near her? That’s amazing. Anyway so can you do what I just asked for from the beginning?”

 “No! I can’t break her more than she already has been hurt. I’m not doing anything stupid again.”

 “Dude, what happened 6 years ago wasn’t your fault. You were only 11!.”

 “She was only 10! I hurt her so much that she forgot!”

 “Skye is strong, maybe she’ll remember. If she remembers I’m sure she will forgive you. She’s a really nice girl and never says anything mean. She won’t hold a grudge against you.”
