The Slave ( Luke Brooks)

Chapter 12

Skylar’s POV:

I woke up in strong arms around me. I look up and see the boy that can pull up with all my problems and doesn’t let me go. I check my phone and it was 6:30am wow we slept for the whole day. I carefully got out Luke’s grip without waking him up and heading to the washroom. I look at my scary reflection as I observed my swollen red eyes and my messy hair with my makeup all over the place. I cleaned my face and really wanted to take a shower but knowing that the guys will probably be waking up soon I don’t really want to take the risk. I grab some nice comfy clothes as I slept in my skinny jeans last night.  I put on some sweat pants with a jumper and put my hair in a messy bun.

I went outside and saw that Luke was still sleeping. I walked over to him and kissed his forehead as he was the only person I have ever met that cared for me.

I walked up the stairs silently as the creaking floors were loud enough. I open the basement door as I went towards the kitchen to pour some cereal. I began munching on the cereal as my mind was blank and I was staring at the white wall ahead of me.

“Ugh, do you have to be everywhere I am.” Jai said walking into the kitchen.

I ignored his response and just put my dishes in the sink and began washing the dishes.

“You know you are fired right? So no need to work.” He said

“I’m just cleaning up my mess.” I responded.

“Then what about the mess you left on the night of the party?” He said.

“I said I was sorry.” I mumbled.

“Sorry isn’t going to do it.” He said.

I close the tap and face him.

“Then what do you want me to do? Go back in time and fix it? I wish I could do that Jai, I wish I could just go back in time to the time where I never existed because that would be much better than actually living my life, you know what you are lucky you actually have friends and family that care about you, or that you even have proper food and shelter and most importantly love and happiness, I have nothing but bullshit. Sometimes I feel like everyone pains just goes to me and they suck away my only happiness, I’m alone okay, and you are lucky enough to have an awesome group of guys who stick up for each other and love each other. I’m sorry for being a useless bitch who just ruined everything, that’s what I do I’m a waste.” I said breaking down into tears.

“ I don’t mean to do the things I do to you guys, I didn’t mean to interfere and cause problems in your relationship. I was weak and drunk and I say stupid shit. I felt so alone even though there were hundreds of people around me but it felt like they didn’t even notice I was there. I know I probably don’t make any sense right now but I just don’t want you to be mad at me, even though you should be.  The only thing I can do is say sorry because I am not capable of doing anything else.” I said wiping my eyes as I noticed I was crying way too much.

I looked at Jai and he stood there silent.

I looked back down sighing as I was hoping he would replied and was about to turn on the tap until I felt him pull me into a hug.

“I didn’t know.” He said.

I hugged him back and cried on his shoulder. I have been crying way too much these past days.

I pulled away from him and he wiped my tears away.

“I really mean it Jai, I’m sorry I know you guys are awesome nice guys and you are really sweet guys, even though you don’t act like it too me cause I’m just your slave but too your fans you guys are their heros and I admire that.” I said facing him.

“I’m sorry for being such a jerk, I just need to control myself sometimes and Felicity and I will work out eventually. I’ll talk to the guys and they will understand but you aren’t our slave for a while until we get this thing sorted out okay?” He said grabbing my shoulders.

I nodded

“Alright, I’ll see you later.” He said walking out the kitchen with an apple.

Well that escalated quickly.

I liked how it Jai understood me and forgave me that made me felt way less bad about myself even though I still felt guilty putting them in this situation. They could’ve just had some old maid working for them but I got chosen and I just let everyone down.

---

It’s been half and hour and I decided I would clean up the mess that was still here from the party since I was supposed to do it yesterday when I was still kind of their slave. I was picking up random trash and garbage from the floors and weird places and tossing them in the garbage bag.

“Would you like some help with that?” I heard and look up to see Luke leaning against the door frame.

I nodded with a grin on my face and he helped me pick up the garbage and tidy the place up.

As we were doing that Daniel, James and Beau came from upstairs and saw Luke and I cleaning up and I stopped and looked at them with my face down as they looked at me.

“Jai talked to us.” James said.

I looked up to them waiting for someone to speak.

“We are sorry Sky, we noticed on how big of dicks we were being, your are girl not an object we can’t keep treating you like trash you are a human being. We are sorry and we know its not your fault, it’s all of ours we put ourselves in this situation and we are sorry.” Beau said as James and Daniel agreed.

I smiled.

“It’s okay, and I’m sorry as well I won’t let you down.”

They all smiled at each other and ran up and hugged me.

I giggled and hugged them back so happy, for once.

“Thank you.” I whispered.

“Why you saying thank you ?” Daniel asked.

“Just wanted to say that.” I said.

The truth was I was thankful of them being in my life they made a huge impact in my life, mostly Luke. In this moment I actually feel a little bit of happiness and that’s all I ever wanted.

The front door opened and Jai was there looking at us smiling.

“GROUP HUG!” He yelled and we all crushed together.

I was next to Luke as we looked at each other I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Hopefully this is the first day to friendship.
