Out of the Water

Chapter Nine

"So swim last lesson of the day" Pogue said turning his head in the direction of the girl at his side, he heard her inhale and smiled, shaking his head he turned his attention back onto the teacher at the front of the class.

"Erm I dunno" Skye answered honestly, gazing at him through the corner of her eye, she knew that she had promised that she would go if he talked to her about his break up with Kate, but she honestly didn't think she could face it, didn't no if she wanted to face it.

"You did promise" He pushed, throwing her a pointed look. Skye nodded her head; biting down on her lower lip she threw his own look back at him. Shaking his head he looked down at his notes, furrowing his brow he took in a breath, he had said he wanted to help her get back in the water, but he didn't think forcing her head first was going to do the trick; he needed to guide her back in gradually.

"Ok fine, ill talk to the coach, see if he cant give you a couple of weeks before he puts you back in the water, but you have to at least come to the lesson and sit in the bleachers" Skye looked at him her brow raised and nodded her head.

"Guess I can do that" She replied turning her attention to the teacher who was droning on about something to do with electrodes or something stupid, shaking her head she lowered her gaze to the text book in front of her, trying to figure out what they were meant to be doing.

"Do you have any idea what we're meant to be doing?" She questioned Pogue, lifting her gaze so she was looking at the side of his face. He shook his head laughing turning his own gaze to the text book, and shrugged his shoulders once more.

"Not a clue" He replied with a none interested look on his face.

"Yo Caleb ya think you can have a word with Coach, give Skye some time before she gets back in the water" Caleb turned from his locker so he could face his best friend; he raised his brow in interest.

"What's up with you and Skye?" He questioned pulling of his crisp white shirt and placing it into his locker. Pogue followed suit shaking his head at the intrigue in his friend's voice. Leaning his side against the cold metal he eyed his friend.

"I told her I wanted to help her get back in the water" He replied honestly, no sense in lying to his friend, he would find out eventually any way. He pulled of his trousers stepping quickly into his trunks; taking in a deep breath her pursed his lips, folding his arms over his chest.

"You sure that's all it is?" Caleb questioned lifting his brow in question, he knew his friend better then any way, sometimes even better then he knew himself, and he could tell that he was feeling more then he was actually letting on. Pogue raised his brow in shock, he couldn't believe what Caleb was suggesting, not after he had only just broken up with Kate, the spark may have not been there any more, but he still cared deeply for her, and it still hurt him to even look at her, it had only after all be two days.

"You've been talking to Kate haven't you, look man there is nothing going on between me and Skye, right now she needs a friend, and right now the only people willing to give her a chance are us four and Sarah"

Caleb nodded his head, he knew exactly what he was talking about, he had been in the hallways when Skye walked down them, the hush that would follow, before the conversations would start up again, hurried whispers, pointed stares. He didn't think it was right, people were judging her before they even knew her, but he knew that by just the sons being around her then maybe people were going to see that it wasn't ok. Sometimes popularity really did have its pluses, and as soon as people realized that she was friends with them, then the whispers would die down, and stop.

"Actually I was talking to Sarah, she's worried about Kate, and they were talking and Kate mentions the fight and Skye" Pogue nodded his head, he knew it was going to happen, as long as Kate didn't come out the bad guy then she didn't care who it hurt in the process.

"There isn't anything there man, I just think she needs a shoulder, and right now ive told her im that shoulder. People what to talk there going to whether we give them a reason to or not, its life" Replied Pogue slightly annoyed that people just couldn't leave them alone, and had to think the worst. He had given three years of his life, had giver her all the love he could give, and he couldn't believe let alone Kate could think he would move on so easily.

"Ill talk to coach see what I can do"

"How you holding up?" Tyler questioned walking over to Skye who was stood against the wall staring over at the blue water in front of her. Diverting her gaze she allowed her blue eyes to settle onto Tyler, she smiled kindly in his direction and took in a deep breath.

"Err good I guess" She replied laughing nervously, she licked her lips and furrowed her brow; shaking her head she turned to face Tyler.

"Actually im not doing so great, I didn't think standing this close would have me so shaky" Tyler nodded his head and placed a hand onto her shoulder, she jumped slightly at his contact, her gaze floating over to Tyler.

"Come on, lets go sit on the bleachers, im not up for a while" Skye nodded gratefully, Pogue had said he would be with her, but the coach had called him up first, and it had left her stood alone and left to her own devices.

"So how are you liking Spencer so far?" Tyler questioned, rolling his eyes at the stupidity of his question. He turned his body to face hers, waiting for her to answer, he could see her contemplating answering him.

"Its been ok I guess, I mean apart from the obvious, but it's a really great school" Tyler nodded his head, he remembered what it was like to be on the receiving end of peoples snide comments, just because they had nothing better to do.

"Well its going to get better, something's bound to come along and then there all going to forget about it" Skye nodded her head, she knew the drill it was the same no matter what school you went to.

"Not if Kira has anything to do with it" She muttered, her eyes widening as she saw her enter the gum area. She shook her head as Kira's gaze locked directly onto hers and a wicked smirk spread across her face; she turned to whisper something to her friends before making their way over to them.

"Well, well, well if it isn't little miss perfect." Kira hissed stopping directly in front of them. Skye shook her head, letting out a puff of air , she diverted her gaze, looking any where but at Kira, she didn't want to give her any more ammo then she already had.

"Kira back of" Tyler bit out his eyes widening in anger as he stared at the woman in front of him, he was used to dealing with her when she picked on Sarah, but this had become a new low even for her. He thought that Kira should at least be relying on Skye for support to tearing her down at every chance.

"I don't think so. So what Skye, your to good to look at me is that it" Skye shook her head, annoyed at Kira, but not really blaming her, she had to pin the blame on someone, why not the person who was driving the car. But she was tired of the hatred they seemed to share, instead of the love that it had used to be.

"No Kira" Skye replied shortly, finally lifting her gaze, she didn't want to fight; she didn't have any more fight in her. But she knew Kira, and she was going to push and push until she had what she wanted.

"You murder my sister and you can't even look me in the eye, your pathetic Skye" Kira hissed, pursing her lips. Skye sucked in a breath, shaking her head, she could feel her whole body begin to shake, she took a deep breath trying to calm her emotions, she couldn't give into what Kira wanted, she couldn't. Gathering her bag into her hands she turned to Tyler, who nodded his head in understanding.

"You need to back of and grow up Kira" Tyler hissed into her ear as he brushed past her. Kira opened her mouth in shock as she turned watching the two walk away side by side, Tyler brushing his hand against Skye's.

"You don't get to walk away from me" She shouted after her, stomping her feet as she followed them.

"She isn't going to get away with this" She hissed to her friends, they shared worried looks with each other but followed their leader.

She stormed up to the two of them and when she was in arms reach grabbed hold of Skye's arm pulling her to face her. She stared at her directly in the eye, and shook her head, her own emotions welling in her eyes as she stared at her 'friend'. She took in a breath pulling her composure back as she smirked at her. Skye sighed shaking her head, what more did she want, she couldn't do or give anything other then what she already had, she was just so tired of answering to every one who thought they knew , or had a right to bitch about her.

"You took away my sister, you took her away from me" Kira breathed out, the venom leaving her voice as she stared into the clear blue eyes of Skye. Skye nodded her head; there was nothing more she could do. Kira had finally caught her of guard, she was used to the harsh words from her, the anger and the venom, but she wasn't used to the emotion she now saw staring back at her.

"Im sorry" She replied her voice clogged with tears.

"Yea well sorry isn't good enough" She replied smirking as she pushed her backwards.

Skye's eyes widened as she realized of what was about to happen took over her, she didn't have time to react nor do anything other then give a small squeak as she fell backwards. The cold water hitting her back with force, her body being completely submerged with the icy water.
