Recap:

"I saw that you had met Kurt." [Scott] said to break the silence that was easing in.

Skylar nodded a little after realizing who he was talking about. "Yeah... Sort of... I was rude to him though..." She muttered softly as she hugged her knees to her chest uncomfortably.

Professor Xavier entered Skylar's room quietly, in case she may have been sleeping. Instead, she was awake and talking to herself about something. "Skylar, I have the results of the scans if you want to see them." He informed her as he rolled into the room. "I can bring them to you, or send them to you, but I highly suggest that you stay in here." The man added, referring to inside her hidden room.

The girl simply nodded. "I would like to see them... If you could send the files to my laptop, I'd appreciate that..." She told him softly as she pulled out several notebooks and books as well as a Bible and rosary. Her uncle left the room just as quietly as he had came in. Skylar sighed softly, once they would send her the scans she would be able to hack into the school's system and watch what was going on. Of course, the professor knew this, since that was what she was supposed to do. Though, she secretly had something to be guilty about. She was going to check up on a certain someone that she had only recently met not too long ago. Soon enough she received a phone call from Storm that she had a visitor. Skylar decided to let whomever it was into her room.

"I heard you were not well, so I was praying for you." Said a familiar voice. Skylar looked up and hid slightly behind her futon. "I'm sorry about earlier." He muttered as he strolled into her room.

The female blushed lightly and nodded a little. "I was about to say that..." She mumbled shyly to him as she curled her feet under her body and covered herself with a blanket, suddenly feeling naked and under watch. "It was my fault... You didn't know..." Skylar continued softly as she motioned for him to come closer and sit down somewhere. The two didn't continue on that topic again. "How are you doing?" She wondered in a quiet and soft voice.

"I'm fine. Have you been doing any better?" Kurt asked her in return.

Skylar shrugged slightly. "I've been better, but I'm fine now. I have to wait until my brain functions correctly before I can leave my room." She informed.

Nightcrawler nodded slightly in understanding. "May I see your rosary?" He wondered softly as he put one hand forward in case she said 'yes'. Skylar nodded and handed her father's rosary that he had gotten from his father's father cautiously over to the blue man. "Who did you get this from?" Kurt asked curiously as he surveyed the beads.

The woman bit her lip and huddled up more in the blanket. "My dad... He got it from his dad's dad..." Skylar informed him softly. "I have a lot more... That one is just my favorite..." She told him shyly as she took out her Bible which had several more in different pages. "I mark them by favorites I guess you could say." She sighed softly as she thought back to before she returned to the school. "It has helped me a lot along the way... Since not many people cared." Skylar told him in a soft voice, looking over her own Bible.

"People like who?" Kurt wondered in an almost inaudible voice. "What happened?"

Skylar sadly looked down at her holy book and shook her head. "Everyone... I was on the verge of suicide... I had even attempted to kill myself a couple of times..." She muttered hiding tears that threatened to show her weaknesses.

Kurt quickly sat next to her on the wicker futon and wrapped and arm around her, trying to keep her calm. "It's alright..." He whispered to her. Skylar blushed lightly and willingly fell onto his shoulder, starting to cry softly."You'll be okay." He cooed to her softly as his tail moved to her back and rested there, making her blush even more. "It's okay, you're safe here, Skylar." Those words triggered her to curl up in his lap and start crying even more, hurt and afraid. Those words were all too familiar to her.

Buh-dum!

Skylar sat up quickly and looked at her laptop immediately drying off tears from her face to hide the fact that she was crying. "You don't have to hide your tears..." Kurt told her softly as he slowly crept closer to her without realizing it. The girl blushed lightly and started typing a reply on her computer before sending it and opening a file that was attached to the message she had received.

"I don't want to show them... It shows who I am; how I feel. I don't like that idea..." She muttered as she looked at the files' pictures. She suddenly stopped at one of the images at stared it down like a jaguar would its own prey. "Oh... That's just friggin' lovely..." Skylar growled to the computer and started to send more messages to certain e-mails on her list. "Listen... I'm gonna have to be asleep for a while..." She muttered quietly to him, almost afraid to ask him what she was about to ask of him. "I-I mean, I understand if you don't want to... But... Um... Could you at least stay here until I fall asleep...?" She wondered in a soft, shy sounding voice.

Kurt smiled and nodded, watching her fall asleep. She looked peaceful to him, all he could do was wonder waht she was dreaming about.
