Them

Chapter 1: Leaving

Skylar had lived in Charming all her life, her Mom died when she was little, leaving only her alcoholic Dad to care for her. Opie Winston and Jax Teller were her best friends in college. What happens when her Dad takes her away from her life? Will she ever see them again?

It was the last day of High School, I just had to get through the Graduation ceremony and then that was it for me! "Skylar is done with education" I told myself. I was sitting in front of the mirror putting on my make up. I walked into the bathroom to get some perfume when I heard the door open and a teacher shouting "Boys aren't allowed in the girls dorms!" I already knew who it was as that teacher shouted that every day of High School at them.

I walked back out of my room and saw my two best friends sitting on the edge of my bed arguing on who's wearing their suit better. If you could call it a suit, Jax was in a white shirt with a black tie and blue jeans while Opie was in a white shirt with a black tie and black jeans. "I swear you to are like a married couple" they hadn't even gathered I was in the room until now. "Holy shit Sky you look fucking incredible!" Opie said standing up. Jax copied his actions and came over kissed me on the cheek and whispered to me "you are so beautiful" his lips brushing over my skin as he talked. Every time he did this it never failed to send shivers down my spine.

I didn't know what me and Jax were or are. Yea we flirted occasionally but it would all be fucked back in my face as he'd find someone else, it was like a vicious circle that I fell for every time. As for me and Opie we became more like brother and sister when we first met.

I've known Jax all of my life, he's known Opie all his but I never met Opie until college.

"Thanks guys" I said shyly looking at the ground. I was wearing a strapless dress that had diamonds at the top and went the whole way to the ground in a navy black colour. I wore a pair of 6 inch heels these were very sparkly. I walked over and got my blue graduation gown and hat. The boys already wearing there's. We three were now on our way to graduate from Charming High School.

*End of Flashback*

My thoughts were interrupted by a stumbling 50 year old man shouting.

"Skylar where the fuck is my beer?" He said throwing an empty glass bottle towards my head, me ducking and missing it just in time. "I don't know dad you probably drank it." I said backed up against the wall the bottle just hit. He walked into the living room and looked at me and the empty beer bottles on the floor from his drinking last night. "You fucking drank them!!" He yelled pointing at the bottles, "I didn't drink them that's yours from last night!" I yelled back matching his pitch. He walked towards and put his hand around my neck pressing me even tighter to the wall. He started laying punches into my stomach and ribs, hitting me to the face a few times, he let my neck go and I fell to the floor. He started kicking me until I went unconscious.

I woke up in the same place I passed out. I tried to sit up but everything hurt. I needed to get out of here I had too he would end up killing me one of these days. I slowly sat up breathing heavily, everything ached. I stood up and walked into the kitchen to see if I could see my dad. He wasn't there. I checked my room, he wasn't there. I checked his room he wasn't there. He must be away to the pub. I check the clock it was 7pm which left me about 10 hours to get my shit together. I went into the bathroom and tied my hair in a bun and got into the shower. After my shower I felt a bit better everything still hurt like hell but I felt better I got changed into a pair of blue jeans and plain black tank with a red and black check shirt over it and a pair of converse. I didn't know where to go so I packed a small bag which wasn't too bad as I didn't have much anyway got my savings of $500 and went into his room.

I went over to his dresser and found mom's watch I put it in my pocket along with a locker and chain also belonging to my mom. There was a picture of me and mom on a swingset back in Charming with Jax in the background I must of been 10 there. I slipped it into my bag. I can't believe I haven't seen him or Opie since High school it's been 8 years. I looked in mom's old jewellery box and I found some money with my name on it $1000 there was some adressed to dad to but I left it there even though my instincts were telling me to take it.

That was it, I can actually leave him and this hell hole now...
