Skye's Sun (paused)

Chapter Eleven

I woke up when I felt movement and heard cries next to me. I quickly sat up and saw Cole sweating through his shirt while shaking and crying out.

"Cole." I said shaking his shoulders. "Cole it's just a dream, please wake up!" I said getting really worried. I shook his shoulders harder until he finally shot up and looked around furiously.

"It was just a dream." I said running my fingers through his hair. He looked up at me like I head ten heads before pulling me against him and pressing his head onto my shoulder. "Want to talk about it?" I asked him. He just shook his head and pressed me against him harder.

We stayed like this for about ten minutes, with me just playing with his hair as he snuggled against me.

"Sorry for waking you up." He mumbled.

"Don't worry about me." I smiled as he looked into my eyes.

"I'm so lucky to have scored the best girlfriend." He smiled tucking my hair behind my ear before leaning in and placing a kiss on my lips.

"I'm lucky to have scored the best boyfriend." I smiled back.

I checked the clock and it read 4:18.

"Are you tired?" I asked him. He just shook his head and laid down, still holding me to his chest until I felt myself drift off.

"Skye!" nope, I don't care if the house is on fire. I. Am. Not .Getting . Up.

"Skye if you do not get out of bed I'm going to drag you to school in my clothes. He wouldn't. That's when I felt him yank my leg and I toppled to the floor with a thump. Hey at least I still have my pillow. I went to rest my head on it when I felt it get yanked out of my grip causing my head to crash into the wood floor.

"Ouch." I groaned and put my hand to my head. That's definitely going to leave a bruise. I felt arms wrap around my torso and lift me up.

"You literally fucking sleep like the dead. I had to check your pulse like fifteen times to make sure you were still alive." He complained dragging me into the bathroom with my bag.

" Can I go back to bed?" I begged.

"Nope get dressed or I'm going to come in there, and change you myself." He threatened. I groaned and just got ready for the day. Once I was done I walked out of the room only for him to not be there anymore.

I walked down the steps and looked for him but I couldn't find him in any of the rooms downstairs.

"Cole!" I called. That's when I heard a sound almost like glass shattering. I ran towards the noise hoping Coles father doesn't try anything. I tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Cole?" I called. Nothing. I started furiously banging on the door. It slammed open and there he was. It was Captain John.
I backed up into the wall behind me when my hand felt the lamp on the accent table. I gripped the base of the lamp as he inched closer to me. I looked around him to see Cole's father unconscious on the floor and Cole slowly walking towards me from the bathroom.

" I dislike you very much you want to know why." He muttered taking another step closer to me. "You're father was the reason my wife went away with my kids and never came back. He talked about you a lot and I mean a lot, everyday of every hour was about, oh I have to get back to my precious Skylar. Well I had enough and tried to end hearing every dreadful story about you. I'm glad they haven't found your dead father you deserve to suffer for what he did to me." With that I grabbed ahold of the lamp and slammed it as hard as I could into his head that he collapsed to the ground.

I quickly dialed Claire's number and she showed up with reinforcements to take him to prison.

Cole had been soothing me on his couch telling me its going to be ok. Meanwhile, his father fled we don't know where he went, but Cole just doesn't care.
