Counting On Twitter [Joe Sugg] (Sequel to COYT)

Chapter Eight

Skylar's POV

"You aren't wanted here. I think you should leave." Alfie demanded.

"Oh, come on Alfie! You aren't even engaged to Zoe or Sky's cousin so why should it even matter?"

What were they talking about?

I looked at Abby and she had a part mad/part sad/part shocked face.

"Don't say that so loud!" Alfie whispered. "We don't want Skylar to hear."

"Hear what? That all of you have been lying to her!" Jack yelled the last part.

"Shut up Jack!" Connor yelled.

"Aww. Is Sky's brother getting mad? I can go in her room and tell her everything."

"I think you have to leave, Jack." Joe calmly said.

"You don't love her Joe. Just admit it."

"That's it!" Joe was angry. Is that true? Does he not love me? Did he love me at all?

Michael, Calum, Finn, and Alfie held Joe back before he could do anything stupid.

"Jack. Leave." Finn commanded.

"Joe. Don't touch me. I could go up to Skylar's room right now and tell her everything." Jack ignored Finn's command. I stood there in shock, processing everything that was going on.

"She isn't in her room." Luke said, making every single head in the room turn to his direction, which was also mine.

Everyone looked at me with sorrowful and shocked expressions.

"Skylar." Joe said, walking up to me and putting his hand on my arm. I quickly shook it off.

I shook my head and headed straight for the door, avoiding every face in the room.

"Skylar!" Connor yelled and Jack grabbed my arm to stop me. I turn around, with tears on my face, and slapped Jack right in the face, leaving a mark.

I ran out the door and ranks far away from the house as possible.

Joe's POV

I fucking punched the hell out of Jack. Connor joined in and Alfie later stopped us.

"Get the fuck out of my flat! NOW!" I yelled.

Jack had a huge grin on his face. "Hopefully I'll catch up to Skylar." He chimed and slammed the door behind him.

I screamed a few curse words and grabbed my jacket.

"Joe."

"No, Zoe. I love Skylar and if anything bad happens to her, I'll murder Jack. Even if he didn't hurt her."

"No. I was going to say, I'm coming with you." Zoe said.

"Are you sure? There might be a lot of running and I don't want to strain your pregnancy.

Zoe looked sad and sat back down. "When you find Skylar, tell her to please ring me."

"I'll go, too." Luke said. I really didn't like or trust him, but the more people we have, the more chance we have of stopping Jack and finding Skylar.

"I will, too. I'm her brother after all." Connor joined in.

"I feel sorry for the girl. I'll go, too." Alfie said, grabbing a flashlight from the closet.

"Alright then, let's find Skylar."

Skylar's POV

I know I said I would never self harm...but I'm really stressed out right now.

I went into the nearest ASDA and bought a pencil sharpener.

When I paid for it at the till, I walked to an alley and broke off the plastic part, only holding the blade in my hand.

I slowly, but firmly, slid the blade on my arm.

I smiled and sighed. This really did make me feel better. Like the blood represents all of my trouble, it just goes away. It doesn't even feel painful.

I did it a couple more times and walked back into ASDA to get bandages.

After I got bandages, I walked back to the same till and paid again.

As I walked out of ASDA, I quickly patched myself up and continued walking OPPOSITE of Alfie's flat.

Just then, my phone rang.

@joe_sugg: Where are you, love? I'm worried! @skylarmatthews

Yeah right...

I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket.

A car pulled up in front me and rolled down the window.

"Skylar Matthews?" I turned around.

"Tanya? Louise?"
