Summer Sky | L.T.
Twelve.
Sky's pov
I woke up in a clean bed and I had someone's arms around me. I looked around for a bit and I never realised how beautiful this room was when the sun was at his highest. There was a soft breeze coming from the window and for some reason I felt totally relaxed. "Sky?" I heard the person behind me mumble softly. It startled me a bit but not the way I thought it would. I felt calm in his arms but I couldn't figure out why.
I also didn't feel the need to speak back at him as he called my name once more. I did turn my face towards him and was met by a pair of beautiful blue eyes. "Sky, are you okay? He asked worriedly and to be honest I just didn't know the answer to that. "Louis? Why are you in my bed?" I know we had agreed to try and hang out more but that didn't explain why he was in my bed and holding me not that I'm complaining but still. "You don't remember?" I was beginning to get worried, there is no way I was going through the same thing as a few months back, because I really couldn't handle that.
"What don't I remember? I remember us agreeing to try and hang out and I remember taking a few sleeping pills and that's about it, why?" his expression went from worry to a bit angry and back to worry. Something really serious must have happened whilst I was asleep because why would he act like this if nothing had happened. He sat up so he could look me in the eyes, damn this must be really serious. "Sky, we know about the pills." The sleeping pills but I just told him that, wait he didn't mean, oh god. I got of the bed and dug throw my bag, without results. "Where are my?" I didn't even realise that Louis had got up from the bed as well until he put a hand on my arm.
"Let's sit down for a sec, okay?" he lead me towards the chairs that were in front of the window and normally I would take a few seconds to admire the view but I couldn't think about anything else then my pills. "Where are they Louis, did you take them to get your fix because I really need them." I know I was being low with that remark but I couldn't help me, I was panicking. He narrowed his eyes a bit when I said that but he didn't lash out. "No, I didn't take them and I'm a bit disappointed that you think I would do that but whatever, no Marie has thrown them away just 2 hours ago.
"WHAT!!" I had jumped up again and was now pacing through my room, this could not have happened, this must all be a bad dream. I can't life without those pills; they are like a safety net. "SKY!, please sit down" Louis had raised his voice a bit because I must've looked like a madwoman. I did sit down eventually. I couldn't bother looking up so I just stared at my hands. "You are going to get through this, we will help each other. I don't exactly know what happened to you, that you need to take anti-depression pills but whatever it is, we will get past it!" Wow he was really giving his best speech, sadly there was no way of getting past it. Not unless he could give me back my innocence but that wasn't possible.
"Sky, look at me please?" I couldn't ignore him any longer as he really was making an effort to make me feel better. I was met by two worried blue eyes, you could see the bags under his eyes, probably from the lack of taking drugs and the fact that I bothered him in his sleep. "Louis I appreciate your help but I'm not sure if it's going to work, I need to do this alone." He was shaking his head already. "I need your help as well if I ever want to get clean." I still didn't get that, why did he need me, he didn't even know me or I him.
"Why do you want to help me in the first place, we don't even know each other, this just feels really weird." I was lying about that last part because let's face it, I felt comfortable with him because I wouldn't let him sleep in my bed if I didn't. "I don't know why exactly but there is just something about you, I tried to be rude to you but that didn't work not that I can promise I won't be rude to you in the future but I really want to try and in the meantime we can work on you, to see if there is a way for you to life without anti-depression pills." He was convincing I had to give him that. "Let's say I agree, what do you want us to do?" he smiled at that but there was no sign of a cocky smile.
"Let's just take one day at a time, so what do you say if we went for a swim today?" I was okay with that. Luckily for me the scars were just below my waistband, which meant he wasn't going to see them. "Okay, that's fine I guess but I have to ask my Aunt if it's okay because I was suppose to work at the Café today."
"That's fine, I will go home and change, I will pick you up in 30 minutes." He left through the door this time and I had to giggle at that. Prince charming, I rolled my eyes whilst walking down stairs to ask my Aunt if it was okay for me to go swimming with Louis. "Marie, where are you?"
"I'm in the kitchen Cherie." She yelled back and I should've known that. I walked through the house admiring the way the light was falling. I loved the light colours she had picked and the paintings she had picked out. This house was like walking through a romantic story and it smelled like summer and cake, which was in my books a perfect combination. I walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the table. "Marie I know I had to work but is it okay if I go swimming with Louis today?" she stopped doing what she was doing and turned around.
"I want to talk to you about working at the café. I think it's for the best if you only work 2 days during the week, this way you can enjoy your summer rather then working your summer away, what do you think?" I know she was only doing this because of those pills she found but was I really going to argue about it? Nope I wasn't. "That's okay but if you need me more I'm more then willing to help out." I ensured her. "Thank you Cherie, now go and have some fun, don't stay out too long and please rub some sunscreen on that white body, don't want you to get sunburn." She was really just dismissing me. I quickly went upstairs and grabbed the black bikini. I hadn't fit this so when I put it on I checked if it was decent enough.
I looked in the mirror and was happy about what I saw. There were no scars showing and I actually never disliked my body but that was before everything went down, now I just felt numb and to be honest I wanted to put something over it but that would be weird. I just had to endure it I guess.
After picking some courage of the ground I walked downstairs with my bag in my hand and waited for Louis to come and pick me up. I was lying in the grass as it took him longer than I had expected. I was looking at the sky and there wasn't a single cloud but there were a lot of planes.
You know when it gets too hot you get drowsy, well I was feeling drowsy as it was 40 degrees according to my phone. I tried my hardest to stay awake but failed. "Aren't you looking pretty between those flowers." I almost jumped as he abruptly woke me up. I quickly got up and looked at him with my mouth wide open as he wasn't wearing a shirt. I could see all his tattoos and they looked awesome. So awesome that I wanted to touch them and without me noticing it I had taken a few steps forwards and was already stretching out my hand when his stopped me. "What are you doing?" that brought me back to reality. Damn Sky keep it together. I scolded myself. Louis smiled at me and turned around. We were going by car, as it was easier with the stuff we were taking with us.
When we finally got a parking spot, which was not easy with weather like this, we started to unpack. He had brought a picnic basket and a big cooling bag for our drinks. I only had my music and sunscreen, with two beach towels. Next thing was to find a place on the beach, this was going to be hell as everyone was on the beach today. "Louis, I've found a spot." I pointed to an empty spot and he quickly walked there, marking our spot before anyone could steal it from right under our noses. After we were settled I got up and stretched a bit. "Do you need help with the sunscreen?" I heard the smile in his voice when he said that. He just looked for an excuse to touch me, couldn't blame him though as I wanted to do the same.
"Yes but only my back." I teased him. I heard him open the bottle and I tensed up. I know it didn't mean anything but I still panic slightly when a guy touches me even though I know Louis won't do anything right? He put his hand on my back and boy that sunscreen was cold it made me jump. He massaged it on my back and everytime he put some pressure on my back I felt a light spark. That wasn't the only thing that happened, my breathing became a bit heavier. He made me feel like we were the only two persons on the planet, which was weird right?
"Alright, your turn" he had stopped and I felt a bit disappointed by that but I grabbed the sunscreen and mentioned for him to turn around. I was a bit hesitant at first. The last time I had really touched a guy, without me knowing him, well lets just say it was a long time ago. He didn't have tattoos on his back, which was something I didn't expect but it was a nice change from all the tattoos on the front of his body. I did my work a bit faster and noticed the Goosebumps on his body whenever I touched him. His breathing picked up a notch as well. I was happy that I wasn't the only one who was affected by him.
"Let's swim, it's much too hot." He joked but I didn't run full in as I tend to do this slowly. I know you should just jump in the water but I like to take my time, Louis on the other hand wasn't going to wait for me as he ran back. "LOUIS GO AWAY, DON'T YOU DARE SPLASH ME! I yelled whilst laughing. I began running back onto the sand when he suddenly grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. "If we wait for you to get in, it will be dark already!"
"Louis, don't you dare throw me in that water!!" I only heard his chuckle, which said enough and before I knew what happened I was in the water but I would show him. I stayed down and began swimming away from him. I let him wait for at least one minute because if there is one thing I can do is keep my breath for a long time underwater. I counted in my head till 60 and slowly made my way back to the surface. He must be in a right frenzy by now. When I spotted him he was actually yelling my name.
"SKY, WERE ARE YOU, THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" he was yelling and I was almost feeling sorry for him but then again he shouldn't have done that. I swum towards him and tapped him on the shoulder. "You don't have to yell, I'm right here" I said a bit mischievous. I never saw someone turn so fast. "What the hell Sky?!" he was actually pissed at me, didn't mean for that to happen. "I'm sorry but you should know I'm a really good swimmer."
"O yeah!" he picked me up again and threw me away. This time I came up immediately only to see that Louis wasn't standing on his place anymore. Was he really pulling the same thing as me. The thing was though that I didn't worry about it. I got on my back and started to float enjoying the summer sun on my wet skin. "Really, your not even worried in the slightest, what if I had really down." I stayed floating "I know you were just teasing me, so yeah." He began to splash me, which resulted in a full on water fight.
I was having so much fun that I totally forgot everything around us. I used to have like this but that was almost 6 months ago and now here in the warm sun with someone who I don't even know that well, I had the most fun I'd ever had. "Let's get out of the water, it's beginning to get a bit chilly." I didn't feel like walking though so I jumped on his back. "Sure if you carry me, you made me tired, fighting with me and stuff." I mumbled against his warm skin.
"You know, you are just really lazy but sure I will carry you." He started to run. I hadn't seen that one coming and before I knew we fell right into the sand. I laughed so hard, that a few tears fell over my cheeks. I couldn't help it. Louis had already got up and stretched out his hand for me to grab. He pulled me up and together we were running to our stuff. We let ourselves fall and I closed my eyes, to enjoy this moment completely.
"Here, take this before you fall asleep again." I opened one eye to see he was handing me water. "Thanks" I got up and watched other people walk by and even the kids who were playing with their parents or friends. This is why I love the beach, there was so much happiness, that you couldn't help but smile the whole time. "Do you want something to eat." Louis voice was sounding a bit anxious so I quickly turned my head towards him. He was handing me a sandwich with trembling hands. "Louis are you okay?" I asked softly, he nodded but I noticed the way he had to focus on even that.
"I uhm, need to use the toilet, I will be right back." He jump up and almost ran to a toilet. I decided to follow him and wasn't surprised when he walked straight past the toilet. I know what he was going to do. He was getting his next fix. I had to stop him though, so I kept following him and was a bit surprised when he entered the strip club. I stood in front of it hesitantly but Louis needed me so I went in.
"Ah you are late, but that outfit have to do."
I woke up in a clean bed and I had someone's arms around me. I looked around for a bit and I never realised how beautiful this room was when the sun was at his highest. There was a soft breeze coming from the window and for some reason I felt totally relaxed. "Sky?" I heard the person behind me mumble softly. It startled me a bit but not the way I thought it would.

I got of the bed and dug throw my bag, without results. "Where are my?" I didn't even realise that Louis had got up from the bed as well until he put a hand on my arm.

"I'm sorry but you should know I'm a really good swimmer."
"O yeah!" he picked me up again and threw me away. This time I came up immediately only to see that Louis wasn't standing on his place anymore. Was he really pulling the same thing as me.
