Summer Sky | L.T.

I didn't have time to walk home, as I had to meet Jamie at the beach for another round. I quickly went to one of the shops to buy some sports wear. I was happy that I had brought my IPhone with me. I plugged in my ear buds and walked to the beach, trying really hard not to think about the damn argument and the fact that he had left me behind. It was a real dick move for leaving me there and if he thought it would make me forgive him faster, then he was dead wrong.
I arrived a few minutes before we had to meet up but there was Jamie doing his warm up. 'Yo Jamie!' He turned around and smiled when he saw me walking to him. He quickly hugged me. 'Hello sweetie, how has your day been?' I shook my head at him. 'Don't ask, let's just start.' He shrugged not pushing me and started to do the same things we did yesterday but this time I got passed his defence. 'Your bruises are fading away by the way.' I nodded. "I know and I'm happy about that, as it will get people off of my back.' He chuckled. 'You know it's your own fault, right?' I hit him on his arm before answering. 'I know but I just needed my ass kicked.' I shrugged as I stopped for the second round, I did just as well as yesterday.
'So before we are going for a run, let's do sit-ups and push-ups.' He really was trying to kill me but to be honest this was making me think about other stuff. After 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups it was time for our run. It was just as hot as it was yesterday and as it was a bit later than yesterday it was even hotter. My clothes were sticking to my body again, so I dumped them again, leaving me standing in my sports bra a shorts, with my Nikes at my feet. 'Today we are going to run 9 miles, I will see you back here again. J' Taime Sky.' And off he was.
I had strapped my belt around my waist and put in my water bottle and my Iphone and I followed him. I ran as if my life depended on it, I focused on the horizon, not looking at anyone. I even missed Louis watching me as I ran passed him. I felt free and tired and energetic but most of all I didn't feel sad. I was happy that I met Jamie because if anyone was helping me, it was Jamie. After 7 miles I had to stop to take a few breaths before I dropped dead, I walked along the shore with my feet in the water, this was only to cool me down a bit. I took a few zips of my water bottle and looked at the sea, rolling in and away slowly. 'Sky, can we talk?' I turned around only to look at Louis' chest, he didn't wear a shirt, which distracted me way too much. I had to get out of here. 'No, I don't have time.' I actually made a bee-line for it and let him stand in my dust, whilst I ran at my fastest, just top get away from him, never knowing he was keeping up with me. 'Sky, please just stop!' I heard him yell behind me but there was no way I was going to stop and I know that if I passed through that barrier in front of me, I had shaken him of, as it was private property.
My lungs were burning and my legs were trembling by now, I know that if I slowed down, he would be able to stop me, so I kept running and was happy to reach the barrier but before I could go through them Louis had grabbed me by my arm and yanked me back, making me fall. He stopped me from falling though as he grabbed my waist just in time. 'I. Need. To. Talk. To. You.!' He was breathing this loudly. This was exact the moment my legs gave in and I fell through my knees. Louis had to catch me, which wasn't easy as I was sweating like crazy. 'What do you want Louis? Because I'm not alone.'
He kept his hands on my waist, to make sure I wouldn't fall again. 'I'm sorry for running away again but what you said to me was really low.' He said quickly. It sounded like he had practised it. 'It was the truth, wasn't it?' I know I was pushing it but I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. 'You know the only thing I tried to do, was helping you.' I put up my hand to shut him up. 'I know you tried to help me but is that fair as I'm not the only one who needs help!' he came even closer. 'I'm already getting help, how do you think I know her. I went to her after you dropped me at my house but then I saw you that evening, all beaten up and I knew what you had been doing.' He was really in my face right now, so this was actually happening, we didn't even saw the sun setting as we were having a stare contest going on. 'You should have asked me if I wanted to see a shrink, instead of deceiving me.'
'As if you had gone, if I'd asked you nicely' He was right, I would've said no. I looked passed Louis and saw Jamie watching us, he stuck up his thump to check if everything was okay, I stuck up my thumb and he left to give us privacy. 'You still shouldn't have tricked me.' I said still pissed at him. He nodded 'Maybe not but I couldn't just sit there and watching you hurting and destroying yourself.' He stroked my cheek softly but it felt like he was patronizing me so I pushed him away. 'Don't you dare treat me like a little kid, I'm not some broken girl you have to safe, I'm fine!' I yelled at him because my anger had peaked and there was no turning back now. 'Stop acting like a kid then and maybe I will stop treating you like a kid.' He was seriously not going there right now.
'Look who's talking, if anyone is a little kid, it's you. Taking fucking drugs because you feel guilty, give me a fucking break.' I had never been so angry at someone before. 'At least I'm not cutting and getting beat up, just to avoid feeling something.' He was going for it. 'No you just get high every fucking night, as if that is not just as bad. I'm at least not trying to kill myself, Oh and by the way you are fucking welcome. I mean it was my fucking pleasure to breath you back to life while you had vomit everywhere, it was definitely the high light of my night.'
I'm not sure what really happened but I do know that at the end of that, he pressed his lips against mine and it felt like the world exploded at the same time. I kissed him back just as feverishly. I put my hand into his hair and actually pulled it hard, this made him moan loudly against my lips. He put more pressure at my waist as he pulled it into his and I was a bit taken away when I felt it move against my stomach but it was just a reflex because he wouldn't do anything I didn't want, I was certain of this. I curled my toes as he deepened the kiss. He bit my lower lip to gain access into my mouth and I gave him this happily. At some point he laid me down on the sand, I didn't even register this, the only thing I could feel were his hands on my body. He didn't touch me at my private places but the way he caressed my body made me almost beg for more. Louis was the one who pulled away this time, gasping for air.
'What the hell was that?' I heard him mumble and everything came rushing back to me and I pushed him off of me. 'What the Fudge, don't think I'm not still mad at you.' I stalked away leaving him on his back in the sand. Jamie was still at the beach waiting for me to return, when he saw the way I looked, he had trouble to hide his smile. 'If you laugh, I will fucking punch you in the face.' I said whilst passing him. He followed me to his car and let me in. He brought me home and I immediately took a shower before joining the others for the barbecue.
'You look pretty Sky.' Marie told me when she saw me. I only had put on a blue dress and I wore my hair in a nice ponytail. I didn't do a lot but I still thanked her. 'Where have you been today?' I know that Louis had joined the party because I had Goosebumps all over my body as soon as he walked into the garden and I really was cursing profoundly at my body. 'I have been talking to a shrink and I went to train with Jamie at the beach.' I told her but she was already walking to one of the neighbours.
'So have you calmed down?' Louis was standing next to me but he kept his distance this time. 'I'm still mad at you but I won't make a scene.' I know he was smiling at that. I walked away from him, I grabbed a bottle of wine and walked into my favourite part of the garden. This part had a nice swing hidden behind a wall of bushes and it had a view to die for. I just stared at the sky above the water, happy to have a break from everyone.
I took a sip from the bottle and was disgusted when I noticed it was red wine. I quickly put it away. I really needed to think about what had happened these past couple of days, because it was all just a blur. How in the hell did Mike find me and why didn't he just leave me alone, as he obviously hated me and why would Lindsey go for Louis if she didn't even know I liked him, it just didn't make any sense and why did I let him hurt me again, it just didn't make sense.
Louis' betrayal was hard to swallow even if he didn't meant to betray me. Lindsey had messed with my mind when she told me, she did have sex with him. That really had hurt and then I went to pick a fight with Jamie, which I eventually got, yeah I got my freaking ass kicked. The shrink did have a point that maybe I shouldn't take beatings just to get rid of emotional pain because in the end it will bite you in the ass. I think it was time to in fact deal with my shit even if I didn't want to.
'Sky are you here?' I was swinging full on right now and I was enjoying myself and the wind that went through my hair. I didn't look at Louis and kept swinging, totally ignoring him, he didn't mind it as he got down on the grass, looking out over the ocean. We were silent and eventually I stopped swinging and just enjoyed the silence between us. Yes I was still mad but it was fading away slowly because I could see that he really did try to help me. I put my feet back on the ground and looked at Louis, who had fallen asleep. He looked so young when he was sleeping. It warmed my heart that he felt comfortable enough to fall asleep with me in his space. I sighed as I looked at him.
'Thank you' I whispered softly before kissing him on his forehead. I quickly stood up and walked back to the party to say goodnight.
