Skye

*2 days later*

It's been two days since I wrote that letter, nothing from Mark. I expected this, I shouldn't be crying over this because I did this I made the choice to go through with it. Why the hell did I agree with this, I'm such a dumbass.

"Hey Skye, did you ever pick out the flowers?"

"Yeah I did, I'm supposed to pick them up today."

"I'll get them, I have to pickup some paperwork anyway."

"Okay, thanks Jacob."

"I'll be back." Jacob says as he walks past me and leaves. Yup best fiancé ever.

He finally leaves and I was left alone, but my phone started to ring, it was Michael.

"Hey Michael, how's my dress."

"It's ready, so whenever you want to pick it up its here."

"Thank you so much. I'll be there in awhile."

"I'll be here, have a great day Skye."

"You too, bye."

I hang up and throw my phone to the side, I can't believe I'll be getting married in a few days I think maybe a couple weeks. It's all going so fast.

Even though me and Jacob haven't been on the best terms with a lot, I still love him, he supports me and has been with me for a long time so yeah. But then again there's Mark and oh my god, he's amazing. I can talk so much about Mark and none of it would be bad it would all be good terms. He understands everything that comes out of my big mouth and hasn't judged me so far. Even though this relationship we had didn't last long I wish I could still talk to him. I wonder what he's doing now.

At that moment I had a knock on my door. I run to it and open it and to my surprise it was Mark. Well shit.

"Mark, what are you doing here?"

"We need to talk now." He said in a firm voice, low if I must add. I can tell he's very pissed. I let him in and he immediately begins to pace in my living room.

"Mark?" He was just pacing, not saying anything. I could feel the passion of anger that he was giving off.

"What the hell Skye, you can't just do that to me! You can't even say goodbye to me in person."

"Mark I couldn't look at you and know what I was doing."

"Skye sometimes you have to face something because if you don't then you're going to a wimp for the rest of your life."

"You don't think I know that Mark?! I've known that since I was young, I can do anything but saying those words to you, it would end me, it would make me feel like I crushed something so precious. And I know what we had was that." I say as I face him. I never knew this would happen.

"Skye, you can't be a slave to that asshole! If you let him control you, you're never going to be able to leave or be free. You are letting him step all over you. You are letting him get away with so many things like the rape and abuse and God knows what else."

"I can't leave him!"

"Why not! You have the perfect opportunity to right now, walk right now and never face him. Because right now you are just proving that you are a pathetic little girl." Mark says as bends down to my level.

I look back at the door, I could just walk right now. Get away from everything, away from all of this, but I can't. "Mark I can't leave him."

"Why not, tell me why you can't leave him."

"Because."

"Because what?!"

I just froze and stood there in fear, for the first time I was afraid, afraid of Mark. I felt my heart shrink and my stomach turn into knots, my whole body shut down and paralyzed.

"BECAUSE MARK HE DID THIS TO ME!" I started to cry, I ripped my buttoned shirt open and showed him the scar that went down my stomach.

"HE DID THIS TO ME, HE WAS THE ONE WHO KILLED MY BABY, THE WHOLE STORY WAS A LIE, IT WAS HIM AND ONLY HIM."

I fall to the ground and hug my body close. Mark was speechless, all that was heard was my crying.

"He took my baby, he took everything away from me." I say through hard tears.

I continue to cry, but I felt a pair of arms wrap around my body.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"I'm sorry Mark, I just can't leave him. Ever since that day I know what he is capable of, i was afraid that he would hurt more than me, my family, now you."

"Skye, you can't be living this lie anymore."

"I can't, I can't."

"Yes you can, and because I believe in you. You can get through this and finally see the light that you deserve."

"Mark, ever since that day I've wanted to die."

"You have so much to live for right now."

"Like what, my life has been hell."

"Your talent, your family, you have me."

"I lost you."

"You'll always me, you can't ever drive me away Skye Connor."

"Never leave me."

"I promise I won't."
