Chapter 4

I woke up in my bed in a daze, how did I get to bed?  I looked around and saw that everything was the same as this morning. Maybe I sleepwalk? That would be pretty cool.

I slowly got out of my bed and went down the stairs, as I walked down the stairs I could smell burning? 

"Mum?" I called. Surely she hadn't burnt food? Mum is the best at cooking... Unless. "James!" I shouted running towards the kitchen. Where the hell is Mum? I reached the kitchen and saw James had fallen asleep at the table while there was smoke everywhere. 

"James!" I shouted at him, shaking him roughly trying to wake him up. I ran to the oven and turned it off before anything else could happen; I ran back over to James and roughly shook him. "James! God please don't be dead!" I cried. 

"Mmmm?" I heard James say, I sigh. 

"James you idiot! You could have killed yourself!" I shouted at him when he opened his eyes. 

He sat up and saw all the smoke, "Shit! Sorry Sky. I didn't mean to scare you..." I shook my head and hugged my stupid idiot of a brother. 

"It's fine, next time you have a brilliant idea to cook just ring for pizza okay?" 

James laughed, "Don't worry, I will do. So pizza?" 

I nodded, "Pizza." 

                                                                                                        ****

I was in the middle of just taking my first massive bite of my cheesy pizza when James decided to start talking. 

"Sky, can I talk to you?" 

With a mouthful of food I said, "Yeah?" 

James shook his head, "That disgusting, anyways your headmistress rang Mum today..." 

Uh-Oh.

"She said that she knew who had attacked you and apparently you did to, why didn't you tell me?" 

I sighed and put my pizza down, "Because I didn't want you to beat up three slutty girls and go to prison..." I felt bad for lying I really did, but I did It so that he wouldn't beat the crap out of them.

"You know I've always noticed that you never really had any friends -- I just didn't want to ask you. Can I ask why you don't?" James asked me, I was always worried him or Mum would work it out.

I shrugged, "I don't know, I guess nobody cares about me..." I said in a little voice, I could feel tears coming but I pushed them away and put my walls back up. 

James looked at me before getting up to sit next to me, "Sky, that isn't true. People love you, I love you, Mum loves you..." He put his arm around my shoulder.

"You and Mum have been my only friends since I was five James, Everyday for the past four and a half years I've had to run, to hide in school so that Ellie and her slutty minions wouldn't hurt me or say horrible things about dad. I've built walls so high that I can't see over them anymore. When Ellie and her minions would hurt me, I would scream for help. Nobody ever came, not one person." I said crying for the second time today, what's wrong with me? 

"It's been happening for four and a half years! And you didn't tell anyone, why Skylar?" James was asking for too many questions, questions I didn't have answers for. I shrugged, "Don't shrug Skylar, there must be a reason!" James pushed for answers, he wouldn't let it go.
