Chapter 17

Noah's P.O.V

What felt like hours I was finally made to go home, I couldn't help but feel like I was leaving her alone in that room by herself. I needed her to get better, if Skylar didn't get better I would blame myself even though I knew I wasn't the one who locked her in the toilets while the school burned.

The doctors had said that Skylar was one lucky girl because as soon as I got us out of the school it started falling down, it would have crushed Skylar.

She would have been dead in seconds.

I took a slow walk home, nobody would be home that's why I would normally go to the gang house but I wanted to be alone tonight. I didn't want to see the others and them tell me that she would be okay and that I'm the hero because I didn't feel like the hero.

Skylar wouldn't be in this mess if I just stayed away....

In my heart I knew I was wrong, I knew Ellie and her sluts would still be after her. But trying to kill her?

I unlocked the front door and stumbled in and closed the door behind me. I ran my hand through my hair as I walked through the dark cold house that was my home.

My parents home, though they seemed never to be home. No wonder why I'm so fucked up, they screwed me up.

I wanted to fight, I needed to fight.

I needed to let my anger out but I knew I couldn't because the hospital wouldn't let me see Skylar if I was covered in bruises.

I opened my door and turned the light on and what I saw surprised me.

The guys and the girls were all on my bed waiting for me.

"What are you guys doing----"

"Is Skylar okay?" Sophia asked standing up.

I nodded then shook my head, "she's alive but--- she isn't awake and the doctors don't know what kind of state she will be in when she does."

The all looked at me confused, "they think she might be brain damaged ..." I whispered running a tired hand through my messy hair.

"Shit..." I heard Cam and Ty say at the same time as Sophia and Hannah both let out a loud sob.

"Will--- will she remember us?" Hannah asked, her eyes wide making her look like a small child.

"They said it was possible..." I whispered loud enough for them to hear.

"Shit man, do you want us to stay tonight?" Cam asked standing up from my bed.

I shook my head, "I want to be alone..." They all nodded, the boys put their hand on my shoulder and the girls gave me tight hug as they all left leaving me and in the dark house.

I slowly walked towards my bed and laid down, leaving my clothes on as I closed my eyes hoping for sleep.

James P.O.V

Seeing my sister laying there, looking so broken made my heart clench. All I wanted was to swap all of this around and be the one who was laying there not her.

After we were told we had to leave but could come back tomorrow morning, Mum and I headed back home.

I was meant to be in Uni and I was lucky that I had gone to a Uni close to home. I had told my tutors what had happened and they told me to stay here until Skylar woke up. It didn't look promising though.

I couldn't lose her as well, I couldn't lose my baby sister who I was supposed to look after. Dad would have wanted me to look out for her and I've messed it up, she is in hospital so many times it's like her second home.

I looked at my mother who had tear stains dried on her cheeks, I wrapped my arms around her shaking body as she cried loudly in my arms.

"Shhhh... She's going to be okay Mum---" I don't know why I was promising her something that might not happen but I couldn't stand seeing Mum like this again.

I needed to be her rock, just like my Dad would have wanted.

"Mum lets get you into bed yeah?" She nodded lightly and wiped her eyes before kissing my cheek to go to bed, "Goodnight Mum." She mumbled a short reply that I didn't quite hear.

Would Skylar wake up? I didn't know but all I know is if she does whoever did this to her was going to pay, I would make their life a misery just like they made ours.

Noah's P.O.V

It's been days since the school was burnt down, Skylar still hadn't woken up and my hope faded every single day that she would wake up.

School had closed to be rebuilt so everyday I would go to the hospital and I wouldn't leave until the nurses made me. Her mum and brother James have been there everyday too and I can't help but feel like I don't belong there. Her Mum is happy to see me there, but James? He's told me many times that I wasn't welcome. And every time I reminded him that his sister would have been dead if I hadn't gone into the school risking my life.

That always made him shut up.

The guys and girls had came but where made to leave, at least they came.

The police have been doing an investigation and they haven't found out who had done it, I knew who it was and if I saw her she would wish she has died in that fire.

I was now walking out of the hospital after visiting hours was over and walked around, not wanting to go home alone. I found myself walking to Ellie's house, I walked up to her front door and knocked.

Within seconds the door opened and Ellie stood there was a smirk on her face.

"Noah, what are you doing here?" She pushed out her boobs and winked at me, it took everything in my body not to throw up.

Slut.

"Is anyone home?" I asked.

She shook her head and played with her hair, "would you like to come in?"

I nodded and she opened the door wider so I could walk in, I passed her and walked into her living room.

"So Noahy, what are you doing here?" Ellie asked walking slightly behind me.

"I wanted to see you..." Ellie's face lit up, I sat on the sofa and pulled Ellie down with me bringing my lips to hers.
Ellie wrapped her arms around my neck and wrapped her legs around my waist.

"I knew you would come..." Ellie whispered as she started kissing my neck.

I pulled away and looked at her, "did you do it?"

"Do what baby?" She asked fluttering her eyelashes.

"Did you locked Skylar in the school toilets and try to kill her?"

"What? No---"

"I don't care if you did Ellie, if anything I should be thanking you." Ellie's eyes widen and then she smiled. "And just know if you did---" I started kissing down her neck, "I think that is so fucking hot..."

"Noah..." She groaned, "I did it." Ellie said moaning, "and I don't regret it. I was hoping that nobody saved her and that she died alone. I wanted to kill her...I wanted to show her that I always win in the end." I pulled away from her.

"I need to go Ellie." I said moving her off me and standing up.

"Where are you going?" Ellie asked looking shocked.

"I'm going to the police."
