Chapter 11
"Why whats wrong?" Jose said as he brought me aside
from the group of people.
"Just..ill tell you in the car. Please, just take me
home." i pleaded.
We said goodbye to the group of people and got in his car.
"Sooo Skye whats wrong?"
"Jose. Take me home."
"Not until you tell me."
"Its so much more than i can explain"
"Summerize it." Jose snapped.
I then told him about my parents and all about Ben and Joslyn and
all that crap.
"Oh..Im so sorry Skye, i never knew it was that
bad.."
"Its fine. Now will you please take me home?"
When we got back to my house, it was of course pitch black
inside.
The first thing i noticed when i walked up to my porch was that
Bens bedroom light was very dim; dimmer than usual.
I pointed it out to Jose and he said hed go investigate since Ben
always left his front door unlocked and didnt care if Jose popped
in once in a while.
Jose came back like hed just seen a ghost.
"What happened?" I asked
"N-Nothing just go inside." he said
"What.Happened." i demanded
"You wont want to know. By the way, will your mom care if i
hang around at your place for a bit? I would rather be with you
than my stepdad."
"Shes not home i told you that. And yes, i do want to
know"
We walked inside and he sat on my couch.
I plopped myself down next to him, sitting crisscross on the
checkered blanket on the seat cushion.
"Soo mind spilling the beans? Cause if you dont ill go over
myself."
"Fine Skye, but im warning you, you arent gunna like it.
T-They were umm.."
"They were what?" i said as i grabbed his wrist.
"Well..." He said trying to spare time.
"TELL ME."
"Okay okay well isawthemnaedinba"
"Uhm..whatd you just say?"
"Isawthemnakedinbed."
My face dropped.
Jose grabbed my body and dragged me onto his lap.
He put one of my hands in his, and the other around my waist.
Jose really seemed to know me best,
its as if he KNEW i was about to start bawling.

Chapter 10
After about 4 days of not seeing any of my friends, Jose invited
me to go to Zacks house with him and a bunch of people.
I agreed, and Jose offered me a ride, of course i said yes.
That night, i put on a tight dark blue v-neck and black
sweatpants.
Jose picked me up at around 6.
"Hey.." I mumbled
"Hi Skye" He said as he opened the front door of the
car for me
"By the way, whose going to be there tonight?"
"Well like Me you Ben Joslyn Alex Zack and Mark"
"UGHHHHHHHH Maybe i wont go."
"No wait why not?"
"Cause umm..guess." I mumbled
"Ben&Joslyn?"
"You got it."
"Skye listen to me, dont let them bother you. His
relationships never last long anyway, unlike mine" he said
with a wink as he nudged my arm.
"Oh shut it Jose" I playfully hit him back on this
upper arm.
"Hahah, Skye, dont deny your love for me."
As we walked into Zacks family room, i saw Ben with his arm
around Joslyn.
I looked right at him, and gave him a fake smile as i rolled my
eyes.
He smiled a nice smile, and patted the extra seat next to
him.
I shook my head, turned on my heel, and walked the other way.
Clearly Jose saw that all happen, cause he followed me down the
hall.
"I told you not to be bothered by him" he called down
the long hall.
"Well guess waht, IM BOTHERED."
Tears welled up in my eyes and i sat on the stairs with my face
in my arms.
Jose sat next to me, took me and wrapped him in his arms against
his chest.
"Listen Skye, dont be so upset, itll be okay, i
promise"
I hugged him and he got up for a second.
"Ill be right back."
He went to the bathroom, and came back within the minute with a
box of tissues.
"Here" he said coming back to me and cuddling back up
next to me.
"Thanks" i said giving him a weak smile
"No problem. And if you ever want to leave just tell me, ill
take you home."
As the night went on, i met Alex *who turned out to be a girl*
and Mark.
They were both a little quiet, but seemed to be very funny.
Later in the night i talked to Ben a little,
Until Joslyn came out of no where, sat on Bens lap, and started
kissing him and rubbing his neck.
Both of them left within the hour, to go back to his house.
"Well uh guys im gunna go back to my place with Jos, my
familys out till next week soo well be alone. Dont bug usss kay?
Thanks for inviting us though" as Ben explained it
"Jose?"
"Yes?"
"We need to go."

Chapter 6
Me:
Ben, i know you arent inside your house
Ben:
Skye, let it go. Let me go. Im not good enough for you and im not
gunna answer anymore cause i promised your mom i wouldnt bother
you. Goodnight, goodbye, i love you Skye.
Me:
No please ben dont listen to her
I waited 5 minutes.
No answer.
10 minutes.
No answer.
1 hour.
No answer.
I looked out the window again, and he was gone.
Where had he gone?
I woke up in the morning as the sun flowed through my window onto
my face.
I fell asleep on the big thick window pane.
As usuall, i didnt see my mom anywhere in sight.
I got dressed, and ran to Bens house.
I rang the old, broken bell and a small noise rang about the
house.
I heard loud manly footsteps.
"OH GOD WHO COULD THAT BE. UGGGGGH." said an unfamiliar
voice
The door opened wide open so i could see the dimly lit rooms in
the front of the house.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT."
"Uhm sorry if i disturbed you-"
"WELL OF COURSE YOU DID. WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
"I was wondering if Ben might be home?"
"PFFT WHO CARES? HOW WOULD I KNOW?"
"Oh..well is Dean by chance?"
"What do you care, you filthy little cowgirl."
At that moment, i turned on my step, and stormed away.
I walked down to the little chairs on the edge of the beach, and
sat, thinking.
Where had he gone? And why didnt his dad care the slightest
bit?
I saw the curvy outline of a girl in a strapless top and tiny
little shorts walk close to me.
Her hair was as dark as soot and she had nice, caring eyes.
"Hey, sorry to bug you, do you by chance know Ben
Patriot?" i asked polietly
"Huh? Oh yeah i do hes one of my like wicked close
friends..why?" The girl asked
"Well um cause...well nevermind. But do you know where he
is?"
"Yeah i saw him around the dock thingy over there a while
ago..Whats your name?"
"Ohh thanks, im Skye, whats yours?"
"Im Joslyn!"
"Ohh nice to meet you, ill talk to you later kay? Im gunna
go look around for Ben. See ya round" i said cooly
"wait, why are you doing that?" she asked as i was
about to run away from her
"Oh well i dont know im just worried about him kinda...long
story"
Before she said anything else, i ran to the dock.
There, i saw him, sitting alone, looking at the shoreline.
"Ben!"
He turned his neck a bit and his eyes starred into mine.
He looked as if he was just crying.
"Are you alright?" I asked as i put my hand around his
back and sat next to him
"Yeah Skye, im fine. I just wish youd leave me alone after
what happened..."

Chapter 5
I made Ben a comfy little bed-ish thing on the floor beside my
bed.
I woke up in the middle of the night to Bens warm hand on my
waist..he had hopped on the bed next to me, but not in the
covers.
I opened my eyes just a bit and looked into his.
The moon shone through my window right onto his perfectly smooth
face.
"Skye?"
"Yes Ben?"
"I-I-I love you so much"
Before i could answer, he looked at my lips real quick, and put
his face really close to mine.
I felt his warm breath against my cool skin.
He held me tight and after a few seconds, i said
"I love you too Ben"
Just as i said that, he kissed me on the lips.
But, right as we were in the middle of kissing,
my mom walked my bedroom.
She saw us,
on my bed,
kissing.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY DAUGHTER?" she shouted at
the top of her lungs as she threw her purse the opposite
direction.
Since we were both in shock, neither of us answered.
"GET THIS YOUNG BOY OUT OF MY HOUSE."
"No mom you dont understand its not how it looks!" i
tested
"ALL I KNOW IS ITS 3 OCLOCK IN THE MORNING AND NO BOYS
SHOULD BE SLOBBERING ON MY DAUGHTER IN HER BED AT ANYTIME. AND
THATS FINAL."
"Im so sorry ill never bother your daughter again. Ill be
out in a second i swear."
He jumped off the bed, and walked as quickly as he could to the
door.
"GO TO BED SKYE, IVE HAD IT WITH YOU"
She flicked off my lightswitch and slammed my door.
I could hear her mumbling things in the hallway, and then her
door slam.
I got up, and crawled over to my window that faced Ben's
house.
I saw his figure sitting out on a lawnchair shaking in the
cold.
I texted him saying
Me:
Hey Ben im wicked sorry..did you get in safely?
I watched as his phone alluminated and he quickly checked it.
Soon, i received a message back from him.
Ben:
I promised your mom i wouldnt bother you. i mean it i wont. dont
bother wasting your time on a troubled boy like me. And yes i got
in fine.
Of course i knew he was lying,
considering i saw him outside, locked out.

Chapter
4
At around 11:30 PM, i got a text.
I flipped over on my bed, and ran over to my desk where it sat
charging.
It was from Ben.
Ben:
Hey uh i just wanted to say sorry about somethin
i quickley typed
back
Me:
Oh whats that?
2 minutes later, my phone
buzzed
Ben:
Uhh well i didnt say i loved you..i kinda chickened out im really
sorry will you forgive me?
Me:
Ohh of course its really okay dont worry about it
Ben:
Are you sure Skye?
Me:
Yes im positive
Ben:
Okay well i think im going to go to bed. Ill see you in the
afternoon around 12-ish? Meet outside my house. Goodnight
beautiful
Me:
Got it
Goodnight<3
The following morning, i took a
quick shower, straightened my hair, and got to Bens house at
12:05.
I heard lots and lots of screaming.
Then punches.
Then doors slamming.
Then suddenly, the front door opened and i guess Ben didnt expect
me to be right there, so he walked right into me, his face was
very red.
"Whats going on Ben?" I said softly while i touched his
bright red face. It was warm as if it had just been slapped.
He took my hand off his face immediatley, grabbed me by my arm
and started tugging me down the street.
"BEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I threw his hard grip off me
and stared him in the eye.
"Ben..Whats going on?"
"SKYE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE TIL WE GET TO THE BEACH" He
grabbed my arm again and tugged my arm hard.
I wasnt cooperating, so he stopped looked at me, and hit my
shoulder hard.
"SKYE, WHY CANT YOU JUST COOPERATE."
"Why..why did you just do that.." My eyes filled with
millions of little tears
"Oh no..no no no no..." Ben said frantically
"Ben..what happened. Whats making you like this?"
He brought me onto a soft towel that was on the sand and
explained EVERYTHING.
His dad was drunk and had done awful stuff to him and his
brother.
His dad was trying to STAB him.
"Oh my god ben..if you need somewhere to stay PLEASE just
come stay with me."
Later, he actually did end up
staying with me.
My mom still wasnt back, so he slept in my room.
I wasnt planning on doing anything with him in there,
obviously.
