Summer Sky | L.T.

This made me smile. Louis could be quite cute if he wanted to and I was proud of him for not getting high for at least a few days now. I followed the trail with pieces of paper. When I reached the last one, I was standing on the path that led to my secret place. I grabbed the paper and smiled when I saw what he had written. "Just a few more steps, so don't complain." He even had put a smiley face behind it.

I walked past the bushes and was stunned when I saw what he had done. He had laid a picnic blanket on the ground with a basket in the middle. He was lying in the grass staring at the clouds. He didn't even noticed me as I approached him. "Hi." I said shyly and had to laugh when he jumped. He really didn't hear me approach. "Jesus Sky, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" I sat down next to him, still smiling. "So those little notes were fun." I said whilst rummaging through the basket, as I was really hungry. "I thought you'd like that." He was watching me with a smile. I was already stuffing my face, when he suddenly came closer. My heart literally skipped a beat.

"You love to eat, don't you." I wasn't sure if he was joking or insulting me but then again I really didn't care because I did love food. I shrugged and continued eating when he put his thumb on the side of my mouth. It startled me a bit and it made my heart beat faster. I know I was also turning red again, he smiled when he saw that. He made me look into his eyes and I just let my sandwich fall on the ground without noticing it. "You got a bit of strawberry on your lip." This was the cheesiest line ever but who was I to complain. I just waited to see what he was going to do. When he brought his mouth closer.

I closed my eyes as it became way too intense. You know that headache I was talking about, yeah it was completely forgotten by now and gone when his lips touched mine. His hand went to my hair, I almost moaned when he pulled the hair tie out of my hair. It was such a sexy thing to do, it made me forget everything what happened yesterday and when he deepened the kiss, he was pushing me softly on my back. The heat that I was radiating wasn't normal but it could also be his heat or our heat. I didn't know anything anymore at this point. His hand travelled south and landed on my bare knee. I didn't stop him because I just knew that he wouldn't do anything like that right now.

He just wanted to feel my skin I guess and I couldn't blame him because within seconds I had pulled of his shirt. This was getting much to intense but I didn't mind. I focussed on kissing him when he suddenly tightened his grip on my waist, this pulled me right back. "Shit." Was all I could muster and it worked like a cold shower for the both of us. "Shit Sky, I'm sorry." I put my hand over his mouth to stop him from talking. I had to gather my breath for a second and not because I was in pain, but because of the kissing.

"Give me a second." My heart was beating like crazy and when I looked at him, he was also having trouble breathing. I laid my head back on the blanket and just stared at the sky. "Sky.." I heard Louis say but I stopped him by holding up my hand. "If you are going to apologize, I will punch you." He chuckled at that. 'I'm not saying a thing." I turned to face him. "So we actually never established what we were." I was feeling a bit shy right now but that disappeared when the smile softened on his face. "Well I guess you are my girlfriend, that is if you don't mind of course." He added looking a bit smug.

"No I don't mind, boyfriend." And to my surprise I really didn't mind. I was worried that after Mike, I couldn't be in a relationship with a guy ever again but Louis made me feel safe, most of the times. He kissed me lightly on my lips and before it could get intense again, he got up. "I have to do something." I was curious but I didn't ask what. I grabbed his hand and we walked back to the house. He kissed me goodbye and I watched him walk away. I walked into the house, to find Marie waiting for me. "Sky, do you think, you could work today?" I was still a bit sore but I think I could manage a day of work and it gave me something to do, as Jamie was working and didn't have time to train me.

"Sure but I can't wear jeans." She smiled and walked to her bedroom. When she returned she had a black dress with her and she even had my nametag on it. "I think this will work." I thanked her and got dressed. After a few hours work I finally had my break. It was really busy thanks to all the tourists and it was nice to do something useful, it also didn't give me time to think about bad stuff. I was also feeling happy for the first time and that was thanks to Louis and the fact that he was my boyfriend.

Never in a million year had I thought to have a boyfriend again. The way he made me trust him even after all that he did, was astonishing. He was actually getting the help he needed and I really hoped he could keep it up because he deserved to get clean again. I know he still found it difficult especially when he was in a stressful situation because his hands would shake but he still was fighting for it.

Was I proud of him, you bet I was. I also was getting the help from that psychologist that Louis dragged me to. We had been talking a lot but she didn't know about what happened to me yesterday and it was something I needed to talk about and I also had to tell her what happened back in America with Mike being arrested, although I still didn't think he would stay in jail and I know I was dead the day he got out. Life was complicated that was all I know right now.

"Sky?" Marie was calling my name, which was weird as I still had 15 minutes left. I was sitting at one of the tables on the terrace enjoying the sun. "I'm here Marie." I said back and when she came into view, I just didn't like the look she had plastered on her face. I got up instantly and walked towards her. "What's wrong?" She had tears in her eyes, so it had to do with or Lucian or my dad. "I think we should get inside." I followed her to her office where she let herself fall into her desk chair. "Marie?" I urged worried. "It's your father sweetie." My heart stopped for a second and I felt the heat crawling to my face. "What's wrong with my Dad?" I didn't like it that she was taking her time, to tell me what was wrong.

"You know he was on his way to France right?" I nodded and urged her to continue. "Well he was driving to the airport when. You know Sky maybe you should sit down for a second." I was getting angry within seconds. She better get to the fucking point before I explode I thought to myself. "I rather stand." She nodded and took a deep breath. "He got hit by a truck." My ears got a ringing, when she said that and that's when I remembered that Mike's brother owned a truck and that made me, well I don't know what it made me feel, I think I was rather numb by now. "What are you saying?" I heard myself ask but to be honest I already knew the answer.

"Sky, they couldn't save him." I turned and walked away, letting my aunt sit there. I kept walking not paying attention to where I was going. I know this was Mike's fault and I also knew he was going to pay. I walked down the beach until I arrived at the place where they held bonfires, it was also the place where I found Louis. I wasn't quite sure why I went there but it was also a spot where nobody would expect me.

I sat down and just stared at the ocean, still feeling numb. This wasn't happening. Where would I go now? I couldn't go back home, that was just not a safe option and the thought that Mike would kill me, wasn't appealing at all. "Hey, are you okay?" I looked up to see a stranger sitting across from me. "I'm fine." I said without any emotion at all. I could see he didn't believe me and that's when a creepy smile appeared on his face. "I can make you happy." He said and it almost made me choke. "No thanks." His smile disappeared from his face but he still came closer. "Here just take it." He got hold of my head and opened my mouth and there was just nothing I could do to prevent it. He poured water in my mouth when he had put in the pill and made me swallow. "What the hell dude!" I pushed him off me but he was already backing away. "You just wait, have fun sweet cakes."

He was not lying because after an hour, I began to feel ten times better. I had energy of at least 10 men. As it was Saturday the clubs were buzzing and I actually never went to clubs so this was my first time but I never had more fun. Guys were buying me drinks and I was dancing my ass off. The best thing of this was there wasn't any room left to think about anything else, than me on the dancefloor. I recognised the songs they were playing so I also sang along with them. I let guys dance with me, as if it was the most normal thing to do.

"You are so sexy" Some dude said into my ear while he danced with me and I couldn't help but give him my best smile. He was fucking hot and I was hot, so why would I care and that's exactly what I didn't do, care about something. I was to high right now, to see things straight and I was also sweating, just like everyone else in this club. The DJ was playing some energetic song and we all started to jump when some guy grabbed my waist and planted his mouth on mine. This didn't last longer then a second because he was literally being ripped off of me. I didn't really saw what happened as I moved on with some other guy who had quickly pulled me out of the way. By moving on I meant the dancing but the person who had pulled of the other guy was again in my face but thanks to whatever I was on, I couldn't see him clearly and as I tried to dance with him he actually refused me, which was odd as he was the only one who did that and it made me try to focus more but I really couldn't place him.

"Sky, what did you take?" I did recognize his voice even if I couldn't place him right now. I shrugged and tried to move away from him again. "Here drink this." Why was he being so bossy, Damn. "Or you dance with me or just leave." I said but it didn't sound right in my ears. How odd, it didn't sound as me at all. "Lucian, she is far more gone then I expected, we need to get her out of here." I remembered that name and it made me stop for a second but as I still didn't recognize them I tried to get away from them by slipping through the crowd when the guy turned his back to me but it was like he knew what I was going to do because before I could disappear he grabbed my arm. "Oh no you don't Sky."

"Let go of me, I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just dancing!" He wasn't letting me go but pulled me against him. I let out an oomph when I collided with his body and I felt a nausea rip through me when that happened. He lifted me in his arms and threw me over his shoulder. "What the fuck, put me down!" I yelled at him but he didn't listen. "I'm getting you home." Home? I didn't have a home anymore or did I? I was too confused and I really wanted to dance some more.

"Louis, what is wrong with her. Her eyes are twitching and are really big." I heard him sigh. "She took drugs and a lot of it." I just had one pill right? "She doesn't recognize us, does she?" I felt Louis shake his head. "No she doesn't but that's just because she can't focus." They put me in a car and made sure I was trapped in. I tried to get out but my arms didn't cooperate to my annoyance. The drive was like being tortured. They drove way too fast and it made me dizzy and I was beginning to feel sick. I finally did recognize the guys who had come to get me and I felt just so ashamed of myself, that I pretended to still be high.

When the car stopped Lucian got out and walked back into the house, probably to tell everyone that they found me. Louis didn't get out on the other hand and I was still a bit high but not as much as I was just 1 hour ago. "Sky, will you look at me, please." He was asking this softly, which made me look up in surprise because to be honest I thought he would be pissed at me but there he was sitting looking rather sad then anything else.

I said nothing and waited for him to start talking. "Why did you take it?" I shrugged but I know I couldn't lie to him. "I didn't take it on my own, it was forced down my throat by some guy but now I get why you like it so much." This proved that I wasn't clean yet because otherwise I would never have said that. "I don't like it Sky, it's an addiction nothing more." I couldn't understand reason right now as I shook my head. "It makes me feel invincible and it makes the pain go away, who doesn't want that?" He kept staring at me with a sad look. "It's just temporarily Sky." Why was he telling me this, it's not like I didn't know that. "I know that but what's wrong with having some fun for one night?"

"There is nothing wrong with that but it is wrong when you try to avoid reality" I tried to unbuckle myself again and succeeded. "You know if your are just going to be whiny like this, then." He interrupted me before I could finish that line. "Then what Sky?" The bastard knew what he was doing because by interrupting me I lost my train of thoughts. I quickly opened the door and stumbled out of the car. I couldn't walk straight and after trying to get back to the house, the ground suddenly came way closer and I would have landed on my face if Louis hadn't catch me. "I will help you." He said softly to me and this time I let him. He lifted me bridal style and carried me to my bedroom. The drugs weren't working anymore and now I was feeling exhausted.

"Just let her sleep it of Marie, I will talk to her tomorrow."
