This is for you sis I hope you like it.
The room was filled with well to do people Sky loathed his mother and step-father had forced him to come to this boring charity ball. Syd being Syd excitedly agreed to come along with him when he asked anything to get dressed up for her.
Though he suspected she thought it also meant something else with the way she clung to his arm. He sighed for the hundredth time that night as Syd twittered on about something or other with the daughter of his mother's best friend.
"Sky want do you think?" asked Syd tugging on his arm to get his attention he blinked as he looked down.
"I'm sorry what" he asked both girls giggled causing Sky to roll his eyes "I'll be right back ok" before either girl could say anything he had already disengaged his arm from Syd and moved away.
He made it quickly through the crowd and out the back door in the garden he breathed deep feeling a sense of freedom in the cool night air.
He moved down the garden taking in the ridiculous tree sculptures his mother had done for the party a elephant, a giraffe and a bird of some kind he shook his head.
He sat down on the edge of the fountain at the bottom of the garden and just looked up into the night sky he really wanted to be back at SPD right now even doing the inventory was better than this.
"Why do I always have to be here?" he muttered out loud to no one in particular he jumped out of his skin when he heard a laugh.
He turned to see his mother and step- father coming this way they were oblivious to his presence, he decided to keep it that way so he quickly ran of in the other direction.
He made it back inside and instead of finding Syd he decided to go to his room he wanted to sleep and forget about this boring night. He made it up the stairs when he heard a strange sound.
It sounded like a groan and as he got closer to one of the spare bedrooms door he heard it again this time he knew what the sound was and quickly sped on his way.
He got to his room and closed the door quickly he locked it too he sighed again finally he was free.
He started getting undress he was down to his trousers when he heard another sound her turned "who's in here?" he asked.
He heard the sound again "I said who's in here? Come out now" he called a little louder still nothing moved.
He followed the sound to the wardrobe he pulled back the doors quickly and gasped when he saw a young Hispanic woman curled up in the corner tears flowed down her cheek and she was rubbing her arm.
She looked up at him and instantly tried to stop crying he could tell she wasn't used to people seeing her like this.
He crouched down "hey are you ok?" she raised her eyebrow at him "Yeah I know in the light of things it's a stupid question but still" it made her smile a little.
He held out a hand for her which she took he helped her up he guided her to the chair he had near his fireplace.
"Do you want to tell me what happened?" he asked softly she bit her lip as she rubbed her arm again. Now that they were sat by the fireplace he could see a red handprint on her arm.
"I am working her tonight as one of the waitresses my friend got me the gig and I was just doing my thing when my boss the guy grabbed me and pulled me into a little closet. It was clear what he wanted I managed to get free before he could touch me any where else I didn't really look where I was running when I came to here I just hid in the closet".
His step father tried to force himself on this random woman when his wife was in the next room "did he say why he wanted you?"
She nodded "yeah he said he had a thing for a Spanish woman" she shuddered he quickly took of his jacket and put it around her "come on I'll call you a taxi" she shook her head.
"No that's cool I don't really live anywhere so ..." he looked surprised which caused her to smile wider.
"You don't have a home" she shook her head "well then you will sleep here take the bed I will sleep in the chair" she tried to resist but he shook his head "no arguing you've just been through something and I am not letting you leave to go nowhere if you had a home the fine but no".
He got up and walked to his closet pulled out a blue sweater and some boxers and passed them to her "here you can changed in the bathroom there" she smiled gratefully as she took the clothes.
He opened up his bed for her before quickly finished getting changed by the time she came out he was already set up with a blanket on the chair she had previously been sitting in.
"Thanks" she muttered he nodded "goodnight err..." she smiled "Z its Z" he smiled back "Z good night Z".
"Goodnight ..." she echoed his words causing him to chuckle "Sky, Sky tate" her eyes bugged out "wait a minute as in the tate's that own this house" he nodded.
"I really should be going" he shook his head and got up and guided her back to the bed "just go to sleep Z" he moved back to the chair.
"Goodnight Sky" she climbed into the bed and smiled as she sunk into the covers.
