*Skylar's POV*

I walked out of the Chipotle quickly so that he wouldn't start talking to me. But i knew Brent better than that.

'Skylar! Come on! Let's talk about this!'

He screamed at me. I wasn't in the mood, though. I had a lot on my mind.

'Let's not..'

I muttered.

'Skylar.. I miss you, doll.'

He said.

'You miss me, Brent? You. You miss me? Well, i miss you too. But i can't put up with your bullshit! I'm not gonna have a cheating ass as a boyfriend. I won't do it. I'm trying, though, hun. I'm trying my best to get over you. Don't worry.'

I said as i was getting up.

'Bye, Brent.'

I said. I made it to my truck & then i completely broke down. I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't take the pain & i didn't understand why i felt this way. I didn't know who to call. So i dialed Ronnie's number. He answered on the first ring.

Him ; Hello?
Me ; Ronnie... Can you have Crissy drop you off at this Chipotle on _____ Street... I need someone to drive my truck home.
Him ; What the fuck happened, baby girl?!
Me ; I ran into Brent & once i got back in the truck i broke down. I don't wanna drive while crying & i'm afraid to call the guys so i just thought i could call you but if you want-
Him ; Stay there. I'll be there in 2 minutes.

*Back to Skylar's POV*

He hung up & i started crying all over again. I wish that Brent would have never cheated...

*5 minutes later*

I heard a knock at my window & tried to wipe my eyes. But Ronnie got in before that could happen.

'Don't even.. Come on. Switch seats with me.'

I did as he said & switched seats with him. Putting him in the drivers side. He put the keys in the ignition & started going. Thank god. I just wanted to be home. I wanted one of my brothers to cuddle with & i wanted to sleep. Forever... When i walked in the house all of the guys were sitting there. That's great. My eyes were red & puffy from crying.

'Who's ass am i beating?!'

CC asked.

'Where's Brent?! I'm gonna kill that motherfucker!'

Jake screamed. Jake always knew what it was. What was going on. What happened. I walked over to him & collapsed into him & let myself cry. I cried for about 3 hours laying in Jake's arms until i got a little tired. I knew i wouldn't get any sleep unless i was sleeping with one of the guys.

'Can one of you guys get me a pair of your PJ's & sleep with me tonight? I wanna let dad sleep.. He's been taking the responsibility & i'll pass right out if i go to sleep now.'

I said. CC came downstairs with a pair of PJ pants & a loose fitting T shirt.

'Come on, baby girl.'

CC said to me, rubbing my shoulder, giving a sympathetic smile. I didn't want to feel like this anymore.. Once we got in the car & drove to CC's house he sat me on the couch.

'Talk.'

He said simply. He sat there patiently waiting for me to talk. I was collecting my thoughts. Then i started to talk to him.
'I can't sleep during the night without someone, i can't eat, i can't get ENOUGH sleep during the day time. I don't wanna do anything. I hate myself, CC. I feel like there's something i could've done. I don't know what it is, but i feel like i could've done something. I want all this numbness to leave & it won't! Every time i get a little teeny dose of happy, something has to ruin it. I want everything to go away.. I want to sleep forever & never fucking wake up...'

I said, now sobbing.. CC looked at me.

'Did you just tell me that you want to die..?'

I nodded.

'You look here! I don't care how hurt you are, you are not leaving this fucking world! We are gonna get through it together! You hear me?!'

CC was now screaming through his own tears. He was pissed.

*CC's POV*

Andy ; Hello?
Me ; We need to find that mother fucking Brent.
Andy ; Why?
Me ; He's dead. I'm gonna kill him.
Andy ; Why?
Me ; Skylar just told me she wanted to die. Tomorrow morning i'm gonna beat that fuckers ass. Promise.
Andy ; Oh my god. I thought she was happy with Derek?
Me ; She is, but she's not ready for commitment because of Brent.
Andy ; Oh...

*Back to CC's POV*

With that i hung up. I can't belive that Skylar would say something like that. It truly broke my heart to see her so hurt. I rubbed her back.

'CC, i just want it all to go away.'

She sobbed.

'It will, i promise. Everything's gonna be okay. It's gonna be perfectly okay. I promise.'

She looked up at me, wiped her nose & started to talk. She didn't get an attitude or raise her voice once. She was calm.

'Everyone keeps telling me it'll be okay. But I'm still looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. It's been months. Even that month with Chris. I would sneak off to the bathroom & cry. I can't keep hurting like this. I don't wanna live like this. This isn't living CC! I hate every inch of myself...'

She said. Tears started to streak my face. My little sister hurt so bad & i was going to kill that little shit for it.

'It's okay. Come on, lay down & sleep.'

I said to her while kissing her forehead.

*The next morning*

'Alright, i'm dropping you off at home. I have some shit to do.'

I told Skylar while she finished eating her Lucky Charms.

'Okay.'

She said with no emotion. She rinsed out her bowl & grabbed her bag. We walked to the car in silence. We drove in silence. We walked to the house in silence. I drove back to the place i told Brent to meet me for 'lunch' in silence. Once i got to the Chipotle i was already pissed. My blood was boiling & once i saw Brent it was even worse. No on hurts my sister.

Notes

Next couple chappies are gonna be depressing.
