"SKY WAIT" I hear his voice follow me down the stairs.

"Shut up." I spit. It's as if the whole thing is replaying. Beads of sweat appear on my forehead. Tears escape from my eyes as I make my way downstairs to the lounge.

"Skylar?" JG says getting up. I run into his arms and he holds me tight.

"Help me" I say collapsing onto the floor.

"What? What's wrong?" He tries.

"Sky, please" Mark says coming down the stairs.

"No. no no no no" I repeat rocking back and forth. "Stay away from me Mark"

"Sky, that's Jack" Gilinsky tells me.

"No no no. He's gonna finish the job this time." I look up into his eyes- mine full with dispair and desperation. "Please don't let him hurt me"

"I won't" I promise. He says scooping me up into his arms. "Jack, she thinks you're Mark."

"Why? I look nothing like him"

"Same hair colour, same eyes" Jake reveals. "She scared out of her mind."

"She was fine with me earlier"

"Pretty little Skylar doesn't like that does she?" I repeat Mark's words quietly. "Who knows what diseases a nasty little slut like you could be carrying?" I bury my face into Gilinsky's shoulder. "Told you you would regret it" His words spiral through my mind. I hear them over and over again. Make it stop. Please.

His words feel like they're eating me alive. I can't take it. I let out a loud scream and cover my ears with my hands.

"Stop. Stop. Stop" I order.

"Sky, it's okay, you're safe. Look he's going" Jack tells me. I watch as Mark looks to his feet, nods, takes one of Johnson's jackets and walks out the door.

Jack carries me over to the sofa and sits down with me still in his arms. The rest of the boys also sit down with us. Jack rubs small circles on my back and hums to me until I fall sleep.

"Hello, I'm officer Carlson. Is miss Potter home?" I hear a male voice say.

"Yeah she is. Come on in" I hear Nash respond. I keep my eyes shut and hold tightly onto Jack.

"Sky, I know you're awake" He chuckles. I open my eyes and pout. "The cops are here. They need to talk to you"

"Stay with me?" I beg.

"Of course" He manages to say before two officers stand in front of me- one male, one female. They hold up their badges to me.

"Miss Potter, is it okay if we ask you a few questions?" The male one says. I straighten up in my seat- sliding off of Jack and he takes my hand.

"I guess so" I reply as Jack squeezes my hand lightly as if to say 'I'm here for you'. I just wish Matt was here.

"Mr Phillips has confessed. And we can obviously see that you have the injuries to prove someone has attacked you"

"Yeah, Mark" Gilinsky speaks up. The male officer glares at him and I watch as his eyes widen and he sits back in his seat.

"Can you tell us about all of your injuries?" The woman asks me whilst scribbling down on her notepad.

"Both wrists are bruised" I start

"And neck" Jack inputs

"And nose" I add
