Ch. 2: Death by Motorcycle
"Come on," said Elizabeth grabbing Skyler's arm and dragging him outside.
He could hear a slight hint of anger in her voice, but she hid it well.
With a determined look on her face, Elizabeth brought him to the picnic tables in the back.
Usually the school had a beautiful garden surrounding the eating area, but it was winter.(A/N: I know the book didn't mention this, but to be frank I don't really care =^.^=)
The only thing that wasn't dead was the trees, not that they looked much alive.
No one else was there, mostly due to the cold weather, so they could talk without disruption.
"God, Elizabeth, it's cold! Why do we have to be out here?"
Skyler was so skinny and small that he was shivering.
Never the less, he liked winter. It reminded him of his friend. It was silent and beautiful. Deadly when provoked, yet the world seemed to stop when it came around. It was tranquil.
When he didn't get a response he tried again.
"Why are out here?" Skyler asked knowing the answer, but still feeling compelled to ask.
"It's quiet out here. Besides, I doubt you still want to be in that room."
Sklyer frowned at the thought of the recent event.
'Oh God Skyler. I hate to see you upset.'
"I'm fine, don't worry!" Skyler tried to sound happy. He didn't want Elizabeth to worry or get angrier… He shuddered at the thought.
"I'm not stupid," Elizabeth said sitting down at one of the numerous picnic tables.
By the end of the day Skyler was smiling and laughing with his friend.
Jasper, along with Alice, had left. He was feeling a bit sad about that, but he moved on.
He had plenty of work to distract him, and possibly a few soccer balls…
When Skyler and his sadistic friend were heading to the parking lot he met eyes with the Cullens. Those who were left anyways.
What had he done? Why had they been so mean to him?
Was there some thing he didn't know? Or something they didn't want him to know…?
Elizabeth had noticed the silent bullying, but let neither the Cullens nor Skyler know of her knowledge.
She simply pulled the boy forcing him to quicken his pace.
She gave Skyler his helmet and without wasting got on her motorcycle, motioning for Skyler to follow.
They took Elizabeth's motorcycle everyday. It wasn't really that he couldn't drive, he just didn't feel like it.
He got on behind her and they sped off.
Besides, Skyler liked the way she drove. But that's something he would never admit. At least not sober.
Elizabeth was an amazing driver. A pro.
She moved through the lanes with ease, taking every turn with precision. Her long black hair was kept up to spare her pale friend the torture.
Like a lion in its territory; she had control. Elizabeth still had her moments though…
While driving through the lanes a black S.U.V. suddenly came out, switching lanes.
"Asshole," she yelled coming to a sudden stop.
"You're the one driving between the lanes like a maniac! We're gonna get killed on this God dammed thing one day!"
Skyler clutched to his insane friend and his heart rate went up.
'It's a wonder I haven't had a heart attack…'
Elizabeth was a good driver in his opinion, but she was a bit, well, barbaric.
"He didn't mean it baby~!"
She started her "baby" up laughing as they went towards Skyler's house.
