This story is named after the song Just So You Know by Jesse McCartney. The song perfectly reflects the feelings Skye has for Lucas, knowing she shouldn't but she can't help herself. I suggest you listen.
This chapter is a prologue for what the story will be about, mainly oneshots of Skye going OTG to see Lucas. Some of the chapters will mention or build off of things mentioned in this chapter, that's why I wrote it. There is a cliffhanger - (one word or two?) at the end of this chapter and things will gradually be explained throughout the story. Sounds crazy, but trust me, it'll make sense eventually.
Enjoy :)
Things I own: a shitload of quarters. Fuck laundry. Things I don't own: Terra Nova
Skye's eyes snapped open; a cold sweat covered her entire body. She reached to move pieces of hair stuck on her sweaty forehead but her arms and hands were shaking uncontrollably. This happened almost every night since Hope Plaza had been destroyed six weeks ago. Since she shot him. Skye would dream about him, sometimes horrible, painful dreams; other times, lovely, even sensual dreams. It's like her mind was playing tricks on her.
She looked over at her clock. 4:30 am. Once Skye was awoken by one of these dreams, she knew she wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. After giving her body some time to relax, she finally got up to hop in the shower. For some reason, she couldn't get him out of her head. Is he alive? Is he hurt? Did I kill him? Where is he? Is he suffering? Or is he planning his revenge? Every day was like this. Skye thought about him constantly and today was no different. In the shower, eating her breakfast, the walk to the infirmary, stocking up inventory; her mind was filled with nonstop thoughts and question about Lucas Taylor.
Her morning was relatively boring, but she was excited to hang out with her friends later that afternoon. Skye hadn't seen her friends much since everything had happened; especially after they found out she was the traitor. They understood her reasons for what she did, but trusting her again was going to be hard. Her friendships were slowly making progress, but that's all she could hope for.
A small smile crept onto Skye's lips as she walked back home. The home she now shared with her mother, who was getting better day by day. Yes, she was sad her friends didn't trust her and that Commander Taylor could still barely look at her, but she didn't regret her decision. Not at all.
She was just getting to her house when she saw something in front of her door. Are those flowers? she thought, as she made her way to them. She was right. A colorful bouquet of the most gorgeous wild flowers sat on her front step. Skye picked them up and held them to her face and inhaled, bringing the wonderful smell into her lungs and throughout her body. She didn't know who would be able to afford such rare flowers, especially since Terra Nova was still being rebuilt.
"Are those for me?" asked her mother, who was now leaning against the door frame, using it for support.
"Hey. Umm, I don't know, I just got home. They were on the front step. They're beautiful."
"Well look inside whatever they came in." her mother gestured with her hands. "There might be a note or card."
Skye crouched down to look for some hint as to who the sender could be. Almost immediately she felt her heart drop to her stomach as she realized what the flowers came in. A bucket.
Reviews are always nice. Lemme know what you think, what you like and don't like, or if you see any errors. No bad feelings.
