I woke up to the sound of the van starting, Luke's fingers were still intertwined with mine. I felt save and secure with him near.
I don't regret running away now, I found him, I found my safe place.
"Luke?" I say
"What" he moans.
"Get up!" I scream.
"But I don't want to" he pulses me close to him.
"We have to get in the seats at least" I try to get back up.
"Oi! You two in the back, put your seat belts on" Ashton yells.
"Okay I am getting up!" Luke yells.
We both get up and move to the seats beside Calum and Michael.
"Skylar?" Michael stares at me.
"Michael?" I say sarcastically back.
"Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be a slice of pizza?" He says with all seriousness.
"You're an idiot" I punch his arm playfully.
The rest of the trip we sang to anything that came on the radio from Taylor Swift to Green day. I liked to road trip. It was fun. I like the way you can just sit back and enjoy the time with people you care about. I like the way you can relax.
"Ashton how long to we get there?" Calum complains.
"Next person who ask me that gets kicked off" Ashton laughs.
"Guys thank you for doing this for me" I say trying not to cry, but I do anyway.
"It's okay, don't cry baby, we are all here for you and we all love you"
Luke puts his arm around me and kisses my forehead.
"Yeah, Skylar you know what? Before you we were just 4 idiots now with you, we are 4 idiots with a pretty girl" Calum says giving me a look of sympathy.
I laugh so hard I snort again. It was good knowing I have people that care about me. My fears faded into my skin no just leaving my eyes dry.
We stopped in a small town that I didn't even know about.
"Move I need to pee!" Michael shouts pushing me nearly out the door.
"Just pee yourself" I scream back, he flips me the bird.
Luke went to go get some food and Calum went to the bathroom with Michael. Ashton and I were stayed in the car.
"You know Skylar, I have never seen Luke this happy before. You have changed his mood" He puts his hand on my shoulder.
"I don't think I have been this happy before" I stare into Ashton's eyes.
"I don't think you know the amount of control you have on him. You have changed everyone of us, for the better of course. And what ever happens, we're here for you" he pulls me in for a hug.
I have never seen this side of Ashton and I like it.
" I got you some lemonade and a packet of Doritos!" Luke comes in all excited.
"Thank you" I get up and kiss him.
"So Cal and Mikey aren't back yet?" Luke gives me a strange look.
"I'll go get them" I walk out of the van.
What have I gotten myself into? This is a men's bathroom, I stop outside the door, I heard whispers but then the whispers turned to talking.
"When should we tell them?" I hear Calum say
"I don't know if they will want to know" Michael starts to yell.
"Shh! Keep it down someone will hear us!" Calum continues.
"I think Skylar will be most upset, I can't believe this, why did we do this?"
"I think we should tell her first that way she will tell the boys so we don't have too" Michael replies to Calum.
"That's a good idea but.. I think there's someone outside" Calum stops.
I quickly run back to the van, trying to hide my heavy breathing.
"I wasn't there" I say to Ashton and Luke.
"Act normal" I continue.
"Where have you guys been? We've been waiting for ages!" Luke pulls me into to his chest to try and stop me from puffing so much.
"Michael was taking a shit, and was scared of being alone" Calum buts in before Michael could speak.
"Yeah, scary place to take a shot alone in" Michael covers up.
"Luke?" I whisper.
"Yeah?" He whispers back.
"Thanks" I say.
"For what?" He kisses my forehead.
"Just being here" I look up at him.
"In that case, thank you too" he kisses my forehead again.
It was moments like these I could live in forever.
"I love you Skylar Grey Watson" he gently kisses me on the lips.
"I love you more Luke Robert Hemmings" I kiss him back.
"Aww! Isn't that cute!" Ashton looks in the review mirror as we start to drive off.
"Guys stop it you're making me jealous" Calum opens his arms up wide whacking Michael in the face.
"Hey" Michael yells while slapping Calum back.
I couldn't hold it in any longer. I wanted to know what they were talking about I pulled out my phone and text Michael "was there some thing you wanted to tell me?"
He gets the text and looks at me in surprise. "What is it?" Calum asks.
"Uh nothing" Michael replies.
"Not now" Michael texts back.
"Why not?" I text
"Because.. Uh I don't know" Michael texts back.
I look over and just nod my head. Luke gives me a strange look and nudges me.
"Ouch!" I scream.
"I'm sorry!" Luke rubs me and hugs me.
"Ash?" I say
"Yeah?" He winks in the revision mirror.
"Will you tell Luke to stop hurting me?" I start to giggle knowing Luke didn't mean it.
"Luke stop it or I will take your girlfriend away and have her for myself" he laughs.
"I said I was sorry" Luke try's to explain.
I just laugh and kiss him on the cheek. My phone buzzes.
"Dad has just died! You little bitch this is all your fault! You didn't even bother to come see him! You always mess things up! Fuck you and I hope you're happy you piece of shit!" It's a text from Mum. I drop my phone on Luke's lap. I break down and cry.
"Whats happened?" Luke picks up my phone and reads the message.
"Oh my! I am so sorry Skylar!" Luke hugs me.
Ashton pulls over I run out of the van faster than I have ever been.
"Stop Skykar!" Luke yells.
I just keep running I want to be alone. I can barley see with all the tears in my eyes. I fall and scream. I had no idea where I was, it was near sunset. I just had enough light to see, there was blood everywhere. I can't feel the pain on my leg just the pain in my heart. My dad just died and everyone hates me for it.
"Skylar where are you?" I hear Luke scream out.
I just cry louder. He hears me and finds me.
"Skylar what have you done?" He picks me up and walks me back to the van.
The other boys obviously knew what has happened as Calum is still holding my phone.
Luke had blood all over him aswell as me. I have cut my leg pretty bad. I can't start to feel the pain.
"Ashton find a Hospital" Luke yells.
I pass out.
