Summer Sky | L.T.

I woke up in the hospital and I had never ever in my life felt so bad. I turned my head to find my dad at my bedside, looking rather pissed then concerned. I tried to swallow but this was really difficult. "Dad?" I mumbled softly, this made him look up. "Louis, thank god you're awake!" I still wasn't sure how I got here and why I didn't die on that damn beach.

God knows I deserved it. "Dad, water please." I whispered. My dad immediately grabbed the water next to my bed. I felt like they had removed my insides but why I felt like that, I really didn't know. "What happened?" My dad was on the verge of answering when the doctor walked in. "Louis, it's good to see you awake, you gave us a right scare." I overdosed, was all that was going through my mind. "You had an overdose and your heart stopped for a few seconds but thanks to Mademoiselle Sky." I held my hand up because I couldn't have heard that correct. "Wait what has Sky to do with this?" My dad had a concerned look on his face.

"Let's start with the last thing you remember." The doctor suggested. I took a sip of my water before telling him what I did remember. "I remember drinking and taking drugs at a bonfire but it was all in good spirits." Why couldn't I remember anything?

"Son you had an overdose and Sky saved your life." He was lying, why would Sky help me and how did she know where I was? She should've let me die, damn her. "How?"
"She saw you lying unconscious on the beach and when she found out you weren't breathing, she started CPR and you have to give the girl credits as you were covered in your own vomit." I was already cringing, that made it even worse. "Where is she now?" They looked at me as if I was stupid but she wasn't still here right? No way in hell that I wanted to see her. "She is still here, waiting to see you." I shook my head "I don't want to see her."

"but, she saved your life." My dad was really upset by my refusal. "Yeah, I know she did but to be honest she should've just let me die." I mumbled, I know I was being ridiculous but the world would be better off without me. My dad didn't like my answer as he became silent and a sad expression took over the scowl he was wearing. He walked out of the room, probably to send Sky home, I did feel a bit guilty about it but it was for the best.

When my dad came back he was looking drained. I never had known that I could hurt my dad by my actions but it sure looked that way. "The doctor says you're good to go home but you have to take it easy for a few days." He was digging through a bag and pulled out black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. It made me wonder what I had done with my other clothes. "You threw up on them and there was blood on them, so I threw them away." He explained without looking at me.

After I got dresses we went back home. When we got there he stopped walking and turned around to face me, I know what he was going to say so I kept my tongue this time.
"Louis, before you go to bed, I just want to say this. You will apologize to Sky tomorrow. You really hurt her tonight and the worst thing is that she doesn't even know you and yet you still managed to hurt her. She did safe your life after all even if she didn't had to." I know he was right but for some odd reason I was rather mad at her for interfering. I know she had already judged me as an enormous asshole and this only adds that up.

"Al right I will apologize to her, can I now go to bed please?" My dad nodded and I quickly went up the stairs and crashed down on my bed. I thought I would fall asleep right away but no of course not. There was only one person who was on my mind and that was that damn girl. I just couldn't understand why she would help me, she certainly doesn't like me. I did like to kiss her though, her full soft lips was all I could think about after I had kissed her. I know I should be thinking about that overdose I had but it was Sky who possessed my every thought.

The way she got angry at me, the way she yelled at me and I wasn't even talking about the way she looked. She did look like she had a secret, as she was mainly wearing black, she also looked sad, when she thought that nobody was watching her. I wondered what happened to her. I was going to find out though, I didn't know how yet but I would figure something out.

"Louis you have to get up son." My dad was shaking me gently. I didn't even remember falling asleep. I felt like shit as I opened my eyes. My dad had made me breakfast, which was actually really nice of him. "Is that for me?" he nodded and motioned for me to sit up so he could put the tray on my lap. "Thank dad." I know he wanted to say more, so I just quietly started with my breakfast, waiting for him to say something. "Sky is working at her Aunt's Café and I really want you to go over there and apologize I know you don't want to but it's the right thing to do." He was right so I nodded at him.

"I will apologize to her dad." I looked up at him, he was just staring at me. "Louis, I know what happened with that girl back in England but please don't let it define you because you are so much more." I know he was trying to make me feel better but it actually only made me feel worse because not only was I feeling guilty about that girl, I was also adding up the guilt for letting my dad down. "I have some work to do but please don't forget to pay Sky a visit." He said whilst walking out the door. I just stared after him. I put my tray aside because I wasn't hungry anymore after his speech. I just needed to get out of bed and get this apology out of the way. When I finally was dressed it was already late midday, so I actually had to hurry to catch Sky.

I stood in front of the Café but was hesitating to go inside. I saw her cleaning the tables and there was something off with her but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I took a deep breath and walked in, she didn't turn even though the sign on the door said closed. "I'm sorry but we are closing." She didn't even sound curious as she continued cleaning tables. I know that if I kept quiet for a few seconds that it would make her curious enough to look up, she was so predictable. She looked up but I still didn't say anything and not because I wanted to mess with her but because of the look in her eyes. Her eyes were completely dull as if the life was sucked out of them. . "Louis?" she said acknowledging me, which snapped me out of my thoughts. I took a deep breath and said what I had to say. . "I guess I have to thank you, so thanks but next time please let me die." With that I turned around and just left her standing there. I know she was watching me because I could feel the shock coming from her. I know I wasn't being fair to her but then again she again should've let me die.

Half way home I got an sudden urge to get high again but I didn't want to make things too bad so I decided to take some pot, just to relax me and yes I'm aware that I wasn't being smart right now but I can't just go without any drugs and at least pot wont kill you right? I smoked one joint before going home but that's when I got this crazy ass plan into my head. I wasn't going to my place, I really wanted to see how Sky's place looked like. I walked into her garden and stopped right under her window. I had to climb up though to get in her room but luckily for me there was a wooden thing that hold the vines in their place and of course it led up to her room, how lucky was I.

Have to admit that I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't high but there you have it, I am high and I am about to climb this thing, just to get into her room. I didn't expect her to be home already but I haven't keep track of time since the moment I became high, so when I heard her shower I was just a bit confused. I took a seat in one of the chairs by her window and just waited for her to come out. I was blessed when she did came out eventually in only a large t-shirt and panties, god she looked fucking hot! "Aren't you a piece for the sore eye." Was all I could muster right now.

She was totally shocked to find me sitting in one of her chairs. "What the fudge." When she did turn I couldn't help but check her out. I know I made her uncomfortable as she suddenly remember what she was wearing. Her eyes went wide when she looked down, you could hear her curse at herself for wearing nothing more then what she was wearing now.

"Get out!" she yelled when she finally found her voice I ignored her and got up. I walked towards her as she was walking backwards but she stopped suddenly as she realised there was no escaping as there were walls behind her. I stopped right in front of her and if I wanted to kiss her I just had to close a small gap between us., I didn't look down though, which made me actually proud of myself, who knew I could do that? I kept looking in her eyes. I was just admiring the beautiful colour green; it made me think of spring. They were bright green, which was a bit weird as they were really dark green earlier today, how did they turn so light? "You know, you have beautiful eyes." I couldn't help but tell her this, she on the other hand didn't buy it for a second "Uhm yeah thank you but can you leave now?" There was no way I could go home in the state I was in, so I simply told her I couldn't.

"Why can't you leave?" she asked so I answered honestly. "You know why, I can read it in your eyes." That's when it hit her and she got that judging scowl on her face "Are you telling me you are high again?" I know I had a lazy look on my face. . "Damn it Louis, you really have to stop using that stuff!"

when she said that but instead of throwing me out again she got a disappointed look on her face. I snorted and began to laugh and I just couldn't stop, this was because of the weed. I ended up crawling into her bed whilst she was talking to my dad, telling him I was staying the night and something about a promise but that was all.

I woke up in the middle of the night completely disorientated that is until I saw Sky lying in her chairs in front of the window. She was tossing and turning because she was uncomfortable, why didn't she just sleep in her own bed. I wouldn't even have touched her. Not after what I did to those girls back home, I had learned my lesson. I couldn't let her stay there so I got up and lifted her in my arms. I was surprised to find out she was actually a lightweight, she shocked me though as I put her on the bed. "Don't touch me please?" she begged me or someone in her sleep. She talked in her sleep and apparently it wasn't a good dream.

"Sky?" I whispered softly but she didn't respond. I didn't think anything of it so I also went back to sleep. "No, please, leave me alone" Sky was trashing the bed by now and it scared the hell out of me. I tried to comfort her but everytime I tried to wake her up she kicked me. "Why are you doing this, please don't do this." At this point she was crying.

Something really bad has happened to her and for some reason I wanted to murder that person for hurting her so deeply. She kept crying and at one point she turned her body towards me and put her arms around me, at first I was startled and didn't dare to put my arms around her but when I got over the shock I put my arms around her and held her.
I woke up because I really had to pee but Sky was holding my arm rather tightly. We had turned around so now I was lying against her back and to be honest I didn't mind waking up like this. I really didn't want to wake her up but I really needed to pee. "Sky, wake up." She groaned and tried to hide her face in her pillow. This was the cutest thing ever. She apparently didn't realise she was in bed because at the moment she felt my chest, she let out a small scream and she actually fell out of bed. This confirmed my thoughts, she was abused and when I found out who had abused her, I would kill him for sure.

"Sky are you okay?" I was leaning over the bed to see if she was okay but she looked completely terrified. She looked up at me with big eyes but as soon as she saw my face she calmed down a bit. "It's not really your fault Louis, it's just I didn't expect you there and thanks to stuff I tend to panic with guys around." Damn it I knew it, I just had to know what happened to her. "What happened to you?" I know she wasn't going to answer that as a determined expression hit her face. "That is non off your business." She said with a slight panic tremble and I really wanted to disagree with her but I decided that this wasn't the right moment for something like that. "I guess that is fair." We kept staring at each other; it almost felt like we were fighting an internal battle. I lost though as I really needed to pee so badly. "Is there a possibility that I could use your bathroom for a second?" I asked and she nodded "Yeah, sure." I almost ran to her bathroom. I heard her close a door, which granted me the opportunity to leave. I didn't want to start an awkward conversation with her and it terrified me that I not once had the need to use something.

I quickly wrote a note for her. In my eyes this wasn't rude and I was really thankful that she let me stay in her room last night. I was thinking about what I should write but I know it had to be simple.

"Thank you for letting me crash here Sky and just to let you know, you talk in your sleep." That had to do. I put it on her pillow and left through the window.
