Skylar Pov

''Come on Skylar, you got to give this up one point.''

''You will be ready to talk and I will be there when you do.''

''Does my appearance still make you breathless, it's okay I'll start wearing a mask so you wont see it.''

I rolled my eyes at the past thoughts, Oliver was still being determined to make me talk. After a week of me meeting him I wished he was in none of my classes, he was giving me notes saying he would make me talk and Ugh.

Kaz wasn't doing anything about it either. Once I told him what Oliver was doing he brought back the idea of me just telling him off, and yet the fear all came back again. I was trying my best to not be involved but Oliver will not leave me alone.

Today was the day I finally get to take off my sun glasses, my eyes swollen down and I could see without having a big bump on my eye. I was just scared my parents could do something to me again, like they always do.

My stomach was still sore since the day my father punched me, I have been doing good to get out of their way though. I was sneaking out early in the morning while they were sleeping and going to Kaz's house.

I was tired of the abuse and Kaz didn't mind me coming over because I used to do it before many times. I just be extra cautious at night but I still get some discipline here and there. I was just tried of it.

I look my self in the reflection, I was still damaged. I had nobody but Kaz, I couldn't trust anyone but him. Kaz was a brother I wish I had and I was thankful for him to be in my life, he understood me better than anyone.

''Skylar. You okay?'' My eyes traveled to my best friend who had a worry look on his face. I smiled at him sadly and pushed myself off the reflection, I walked over to Kaz and brought him into a tight hug.

My eyes shut tight as I felt him hug me back. I always used to hug him when he was worry about me, but that's was the problem. I didn't want him to worry.

I wanted him to live his life without me.

I always wished that Kaz was not apart of my life, it would make my life easier then worrying if something would happen to him. I couldn't live with myself if I knew something bad was going to happen with Kaz.

''Thank you.'' I whispered in his ear.

''For what?''

''Just for being in my life, I'm sorry you always have to worry about me. I'm sorry you got to be with a girl who can't even stop her parents. I'm just sorry but I'm not sorry for being your friend.''

Kaz pulled away and a smile appeared on his face and I felt a sad smile go on my face. Kaz would always make me feel better and right now I wished this guilt would leave also.

''Sky, I don't care, I will always be on your side no matter what. I'm not leaving and I never would. You are strong just for being used by their abused, you are surviving and that's the best part about you. I promise you I won't leave.''

And with that the guilt ran away.

I walk into the school, getting weird stares because I didn't have my sun glasses on. I just ignored them and walked quietly to my locker, putting my stuff away and getting my stuff ready for next class.

''There you are,'' My head turned to the idiotic voice. ''Well you look different today, did you do something with your hair, or maybe your nails. Huh I can't make my mind to it.'' I rolled my eyes at Oliver and ignored him, I got my stuff out for English.

''You know I'm just kidding Skylar, I'm glad you got rid of your glasses,'' I put my brows up at him but didn't look at him. I then suddenly felt him come closer to me, that's when I turned to him and his body was very close to me.

I could even smell the cologne on him.

''You eyes are better not hidden.'' My eyes traveled to his and that's when I noticed for the first time that he had deep blue eyes, it could almost match the ocean water. I sunk in my breath as I stepped away from him.

''You're not even going to thank me, I just compliment you. Come on Skylar I can't be that scary.'' Oliver said and pouted his face, his long eyelashes jumping up and down as if he was a sad girl. I even felt something weird that happened on my lips.

It moved upward, I was smiling!

''Aha!'' Oliver grinned as he pointed at my lips. ''I made you smile, that has to count on something, Who knows maybe you will laugh at my stupid jokes too.'' I rolled my eyes at him and closed my locker.

''I will get to know you Skylar Valentine, talking or no talking.'' I wanted to say he was playing with me, to try to get me talk but when I look into his eyes it was different. He looked like he was determined for it.

I watch him turn around and walk away leaving me breathless. I still don't understand why he wants to get to know me, out of everyone it was me. He became this popular jock and he even know I will ruin his reputation if he is seen with me.

I was a nobody, a loser, a loner, and a damaged girl. He shouldn't even want t get to know me, I wasn't special at all. I am a nobody and I know that for a fact.

I walk into English watching as boys crowded my desk, anxiety hit me. I didn't know how to tell them to move because they were all blocking my way while talking to Oliver. I walk up to my desk as the boy continued to stand there, and I just looked down seeing as they are not moving.

''Hey Bryan move out the way, she is trying to get through.'' Oliver said and I rose my head up feeling a fear as the boy turned around and smirks at me. I watched him this time sit in my desk, tempting me.

The familiar look on his face came back to me, he was the first guy who talked to Oliver and called me a freak show. It was this guy.

''Look who we have here miss no talking, you know I don't understand how you could be so weird. You know how lucky you are sitting next to Oliver Short yet you don't talk.'' Bryan stood up and walked over to me looking into my eyes and I could feel the fear in fear burst.

''Freak.'' He whispered. ''Talk! Come on say something! Anything! What is you vocal cord broken or something,'' He yelled as he smirked to himself. He wanted to challenge me but I wasn't going to do anything.

''That's enough Bryan!'' Oliver shouted as he stood up, I looked at him and his face turned red in anger. Bryan shocked face was priceless as he stared at Oliver.

''What did you say Short.''

''I said it's enough, leave her alone. So what she doesn't talk how does that affect your life. Get over yourself all your doing is embarrassing yourself.'' Oliver stated, his jaw clenched and I felt a wave of shock myself.

''Really your sticking up for her. For this girl, out of anyone you pick her. Why the hell would you even stick up for her!'' Bryan snapped.

''Maybe because you can't leave her alone, now get out her way she need to sit before class starts.'' Oliver warned as he sat down and I looked at Bryan who was glaring down at me. He fits were clenched and were turning white.

''Say something then maybe I will,'' Bryan challenged again. ''Talk or I swear to god!'' His fits rose up and my head went down into fear waiting for the punch to come. I took a deep breath as I waited for the attack, I mean teenage boys have a harder punch.

I heard a desk move and my eyes shot up to see Oliver stand right in front of Bryan holding the collar of his shirt. Oliver's face was fulled of anger and I could see him holding Bryan tightly.

''Leave now.'' Oliver gritted and Bryan shook his head as he pushed Oliver off of him. The class was silent through the whole thing and I felt a bolt of relief as I didn't have to do anything. I got stares my way through the whole thing.

I didn't bother staring at Oliver because I felt like if he just didn't try to talk to me then none of this would happen, no one has ever bothered to notice me until he came in. I couldn't handle it anymore, I felt like there was needles in me.

At this point I don't care anymore, I just needed to get out here. So instead of me seating in my seat, I turned around and walked out of the classroom. People didn't bother to say anything because I have done this before.

When I used to have bad anxiety, I just walked out of the classroom no questions asked or anything. I took a deep breath as I sat on the floor next to my locker. I needed a break from that class.

''Skylar!''

My head turned to see a walking Oliver. I shook my head at him, he wasn't suppose to follow me. He was suppose to leave me alone and not be my friend. If only Kaz was here.

''Hey are you okay?''

I wanted to tell him no, I waned to tell him that I wasn't okay. I wanted so badly to yell or scream just to say something but I couldn't.

''It's if you are mad, but you shouldn't take what Bryan said seriously. He just doesn't know how to shut his mouth.'' I rolled my eyes as I popped my knees to my face and felt tears come to me.

Bryan was right, I was pathetic girl who can't do anything for her self. I continue to show it and I know it's bad for me. No one should save me because I was suppose to do it myself, I am suppose to save myself not have other people do it for me.

''Please don't cry,'' He panicked as he saw the tear flow down my cheek. ''Oh god I don't handle crying girls well,'' Oliver stared at me his eyes filled with fear. ''Um I command you stop crying.''

Oliver panicked when his order didn't work. ''Okay if you stop crying I will get you ice cream with a cheery on top,'' Oliver said again. ''Please stop crying do you want a bone or something.'' I rose my head and furrow my brows. Did he think I was a dog or something?

The thought actually made me laugh out loud, in front of Oliver. I was dying laughing full teeth showing as if I was smiling too. Maybe his stupid jokes does know how to make me feel better after all.

Oliver grinned at my laughing face. ''Wow I made you smile and laugh, I should get an award.'' Oliver chuckled and at this point I stopped laughing but the smile never left my face. Oliver took a chance to look at me clearly.

''I like your smile, you should smile more it suits you.''

I'm not going to lie but I felt my face go hot with his compliment. How was he able to talk to me, isn't he annoyed that I don't talk back at all.

A thought came to me and I pulled my phone out, I went to my notes and started to type some things and the first thing I texted was ''Why did you defend me?'' I gave my phone to Oliver and he stared at it before turning to me.

''Well obviously you weren't doing anything yourself so I thought why not give you a break,'' Oliver stated. ''I saw the fear in your eyes, you were scared but I haven't figure that out yet.''

Oliver looked into my eyes and I pulled myself closer to my knees. The way he was looking at me gave me chills, it was like he was just trying to know something about me just looking into my eyes.

I acted as I didn't know though, I grabbed my phone out of his hand and wrote something else.

Something that was deep to me.

''Why are you trying to talk to me? I don't talk, aren't you getting tired of trying?'' Oliver read out loud as I showed him the text I wrote to him.

''Well that's what I am trying to figure out, see for some reason you don't talk but I can see that there's a reason behind it. I mean you can't just not talk cause you don't want to but could I ask you something and you could nod or something.''

This time I starred at Oliver, I felt like at this moment it was like we were talking. I didn't know the questions he was going to ask me but I decide to give it a try. I mean honestly how could it be.

''I want the honest answer,'' I nodded at his agreement. ''Okay, but do you not talk because you are scared to social with people.'' Oliver asked.

I'm not going to lie but I wasn't that scarred sure I was scared about getting embarrass and stuff like that, but if I could I would try and talk to new people all the time. It's just hard cause how my parents made me feel about myself.

I shook my head and Oliver's eyebrow curled. He was confused because he thought that was the answer. Oliver balled his hand into a fits, a hint of anger coming to him.

''Then how do you let people walk on you like that, to treat you like that. I don't know how you could just people step on you like your a piece of dirt, I don't understand Skylar.''

I signed, he was right I do let people walk on me. I have never stick up for myself, I had people do it for me. I grabbed my phone and wrote something to Oliver.

''Sometimes people need to be satisfied because they are not having a good day themselves.'' Oliver read my text.

''No they don't Skylar, they are looking for attentions because they life is crap but they chose that way.'' Oliver stated. ''But your not helping either.''

I put my eyebrows together as he said those words. I already knew everything, was he going to continue to blame me?

''You let those people step on you and that's how they think it's okay. They think 'oh yeah well she doesn't talk so I could mess her as long as I pleased', but sometimes you need to stand up for yourself so they won't do it anymore.''

I looked down at the floor, this was making me feel upset and he wasn't helping telling me stuff that are true. All my life I was have been a disaster and this wasn't my first time feeling like this because I have dealt with many times.

I then suddenly felt a soft hand on my arm, I looked up to see Oliver with a sad smile on his face. It read pity. I didn't want him to feel sorry for me, I have had this before and I didn't need him to feel sorry for me.

''Let me ask you, what makes you so different then other girls. You're not like them even when your not talking.'' Oliver asked and I shifted my eyes away from me, my hand landed on my stomach and I could feel the sore through my shirt.

I was different but not good different, not perfect different or amazing different. I was a girl who got abused every single day and never said a word about it, I was that girl that was shy and does her homework.

I am not ordinary.

''I don't mean in a bad way, but also not in a good way... Ugh man!'' Oliver panicked and I held in a smile. ''Oh shoot! That's not what I mean't either, hey stop smiling! I see you smiling this isn't funny.''

Oliver shook his head a small grin in his face as he saw my tiny smile. Oliver head looked straight to me, popping next to me on the floor his knee standing straight up. He smiled over my way and I all could I think of one thing.

Does he want to be my friend, does this mean we are friends?

''Let me ask you one thing, if you could say one thing right now what is one thing you would say?'' He asked.

I thought about his question and I thought about all the things I could say. All the words I would love to let out but there was one specific thing that I wanted to tell Oliver. Something I have only told Kaz before and no one else.

I grabbed my phone and typed the words I wanted to say to him. A little smile came to my face as I showed him the text, and I wasn't embarrassed or scared I was happy what I wrote.

''Thank you.''
