Chapter 14

Ryan p.o.v

It has been about 3 days since Skylar and I broke up, but it feels like its been a year since I've held him. I just want this nightmare to be over, I know its my fault we aren't together, I made a stupid decision to walk out on him. I shouldn't have, he just wanted to help, and I was a jerk. I sigh, but I still have to go to school. I turn on up my car and start the lonely drive to the school.

I finally pull into the parking lot and step out of the car. The cool breeze of winter hits me in the face as I walk inside. I see Zach over at the front waiting for me and Skylar, I walk over to him. He turns around, "Hey!" he says cheerily, "Hi." I say, not bothering to hide the sadness in my voice, he hears it. "What's wrong?" he asks, "Did something happen?" I take a deep breath, "Yea," I say, "I broke up with Skylar." Zach looked stunned, "Why!?" he asked quickly, "I thought you guys were happy together!" I looked down at my feet and tried toehold back the tears, but I couldn't stop myself from sobbing quietly, "You're right..." I said through tears, "We were happy, but I fucked the whole thing up." I felt Zach's arms around me, and I hugged him back, "It's ok." He said, "You can fix it." I paused "How?" I asked him, "Well," he started, "He was telling me about you being a singer, maybe you can do something with that." I started thinking, and I remembered the thing he was talking about at the school, a spring kick off or something. That could be the answer... or at least help me find one. "Yea..." I said, "That could work, do you know anyone who could help me?" I asked him, he smiled, "I might know a few people..."

After that little talk with Zach I felt like I had a chance to get Skylar back, I might not have completely screwed myself over, I could still make things right. I was walking to class when I saw Alex out of the corner of my eye, he was just watching me walk down the hall. I tried not to start a conversation of make eye contact. It worked, he just let me pass, I don't really know how to handle him, he seems threatening, but he hasn't acted on anything he has said to me, I mean, he put Zach int the hospital, which is a huge deal, but he threatened Skylar and I a while ago, and he hasn't even said anything to me, or Skylar as far as I know. I pass by a school bulletin board, I quickly scan it for any other info about this spring kick off, there is a sign.

"Come and start spring right!"

I pull the flyer down and stuff it in my pocket, this might be the best way to show Sky how I feel. It'll be more people than I've ever sung in front of before, but I won't care about everyone else in the crowd, just the most special wolf in the world. I guess I'd better get to work on this, it has to be perfect.

Skylar p.o.v

I can't get over this, he was so perfect, and I tried to make him do what I thought was best for him, but I forgot that what he does with his family isn't my decision, it's his, and it was wrong of me to try to force him back to his dad. I can't cry anymore, my body won't even produce tears, I guess I've used all of them. But I didn't feel like I was mentally well enough to go to school without breaking down, especially considering I have class with him. I'm not ready to face him yet, not after what happened. It hurts to even think about him, I have never been good at fixing my problems, I have no idea if there is even a way out of this one, but I want to step up for once and take charge, finally resolve something I've started. But it's hard to do that when your whole world turns upside down, I might be being a little overdramatic, but he was pretty much the only one who understood me. I really don't want to lose him completely, and there might still be time to get him back.

It's the first time in a while I've felt the urge to cut myself again, just to distract myself from my emotional pain, but I think better of it, I made a promise to Ryan and I am going to try my hardest to keep it. I feel my heart beating, as I sit alone in my room, just thinking about what used to be, but thinking about the past isn't going to fix my problems in the present, I have to figure out a way to pull myself out of this, and I think I might know how.

Zach p.o.v

I can't stop thinking about Ryan and Skylar not being together anymore, this can't last, I have to help them get back together. Ryan obviously wants to get back with Skylar, and Sky's evidently not here, probably didn't want to see Ryan, I don't know if he's angry or sad. I still don't really know what happened. When suddenly my train of thought is interrupted.

Alex is walking alongside me, I am feeling terrified on the inside, but I refuse to show him how scared of him I am. "If you're friends with Skylar," he begins, "I'd definitely watch out for him at the spring kick off, you never know who might be after him." he laughed and then walked away from me. Despite my inner fears, I reached an arm out and stopped him from leaving. "Why?" I asked him quietly, "Why do you do this to him? What has he done to you?" He turned around and tried to stare me down, but I refused back down. I just looked back at him, a sad questioning look in my eyes. He sighed, but it wasn't sarcastic, I heard sadness in his voice. I couldn't feel bad for him after everything he had done to me and my friends, but I was finding it difficult not to have sympathy for him, after looking into his eyes, I can see the pain he must have gone through. After a moment, he broke our eye contact, he tried to speak, but he didn't say anything, he just slowly walked away. I didn't try to stop him this time. I couldn't move this time, I was stunned. I never even stopped to consider the fact that he might be so horrible because of his own problems, some people are just bad at handling it. Maybe he just needs help... Maybe, I can help.
