Yes! A quick update, I did it you guys. I'm actually very impressed with myself but I'm pretty sure it's only because I have Memorial day weekend. By the way, Happy Memorial Day! I hope you guys are having a good day, and be strong if one you parents had died in the military. This is the day to show them your love for them.

Now this chapter in the beginning is a flashback what happen before Oliver came in. Of course people are going to hate it but it will get better near the end or maybe not. I can't give spoilers but you can read it.

Enjoy!

Skylar Pov

*Flashback*

''I thought I told you to not bring that boy back here!'' My father shouted at me as he watched Oliver's car go by. I stepped back in fear, I haven't seen him this angry.

''I'm sorry father, I told him to leave but he wouldn't. Please don't do anything to him.''

My father stepped towards me with anger and venom. ''Him! How about you! You disrespect my orders and now you get a punishment for it.''

I knew this was going to be bad, even worse then the other times I had been abused. I was scared too scared, he looked like he was about to kill me. My mother was grabbing something but I didn't know what she was doing.

''Please, please, not today. I promise he won't say anything.'' I begged.

''You think I'm stupid! You think i'm dumb! I know you brought him on purpose!'' He stepped even closer to me and I got more and more scared.

''Dad..'' I didn't have time to explain because I got a huge slap across my face. I looked back and watched him breath heavily, he was really mad. I watched him then pull his belt off his pants.

''This is called discipline.'' My mother came up to me and held my arms as she turned me to my back. I then felt her raise up my shirt. I then held in my breath as I felt the belt whip me.

''Please stop!'' I begged and screamed as the whip got harder. I bit my bottom lips so hard that it drew blood, I clutched my eyes closed hard hoping it would ease something down. It didn't.

My father never stopped, he knew he wouldn't until he felt the blood go onto his own hands. The blood that was suppose to be mine, he was a dangerous man.

I pushed myself out of my mother's hold and fell to the floor. I then watch as my mother clutch down and looked at me, she then raised my head and spat at me. I closed my eyes feeling the spit go everywhere on my face.

Her nails then dug my cheek, it dug really hard that I closed my eyes so tightly to think of something else. I couldn't.

''I thought we explained that boy was going to be no where near here!'' She hissed at me.

''I'm sorry.'' I said way too quietly.

I then suddenly felt a fist hit the side of my cheek. I turned my head as I felt blood clogging my tooth. I then coughed up the blood and looked at my father who raised his fits again at me.

His hands touched my temple and I got more and more scared of this side. ''You really don't have a brain do you? You stupid weak girl! You act like you can defend yourself but your just weak and pathetic.''

''Please stop..'' I coughed up more blood feeling as the hit he threw at me really did damage.

''Stop! Stop! Stop being stupid then maybe I will!'' He then threw a hard punch at my temple. I felt the world around me explode, I was getting really dizzy. I felt my eyes go weaker and weaker. I could barley see anything.

I then heard a thump and the last thing I heard was someone yelling my name.

*Flashback ended*

I slowly open my eyes, not being surrounded by my living room color anymore. Instead the walls were a tan color and there was many family pictures but I could barley see who it was.

A face came up to me and it was no one other than Sarah Short.

"Your awake."

I put my elbows up to help carry my weight. I didn't know what was happening at this point. I was confused that Sarah was here and I was in her room. How am I in her room?

"It's okay," Sarah suggested a hand to me. "You know to talk to me, I promise to not tell anyone what happen today."

My eyes went wide. She knows! How the heck does she know? I then hit a double take when she could see my bruises that I knew formed, and the blood on my cheek and back.

"What am I doing here?" I say for the first time not even caring anymore about the person. I wanted answers, I wanted to know where were my parents.

Sarah gave me a sad smile. "Oliver brought you here, he even carried you here, which is so surprising because the boy doesn't even have muscles on him."

I looked around the room not seeing Oliver in sight. I was worried now, where could he gone of? I just saw him 10 minutes ago and now he is gone.

"Where is he?"

Sarah avoid my eye contact and looked at the floor. "He's at the police station, he turned your parents in."

I then moved my eyes away from Sarah. He turned my parent's in. I didn't know if I should be happy or angry about this. My eyes welled up with tears but I didn't know the emotion I had on this point.

"How long was I out?"

"About 2 hours or more." Sarah them brought a towel and started cleaning the blood from my mouth and on my head that I didn't even know I had.

I tried to get up but felt dizzy only to have Sarah hold my arm. "You shouldn't get up, you're still weak. Just lay down and have some water."

I nodded knowing she was right. She was helping me but I thought she always hated me, she always seemed to hate me but at this moment she act like we were friends.

Sarah handed me a glass a water and I thanked her. "Why are you helping me?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you usually hate me, but your giving me water and taking care of my wounds. Why are you doing all of this?"

Sarah looked at me then looked at the floor near her. She then looked at me again and gave me a small grin on her lips.

''Do you want to know something?" I nodded not even knowing what she was going to talk about.

"When I was in school today, Oliver had called me and told me about you and how you were injured and beaten. Do you want to know what I did right away?"

I nodded for her to continue. "I ran to Kaz right away and told him what happen, and he was so angry and thought you were so hurt. He actually threatened me not to tell anyone, and for me not to hurt you."

Sarah eyes turned to a hurt color. "I then slapped him! Yep right there and then, I told him how I was not the cruel girl everyone knew me as. He tried to apologize but I ignored him and waited for Oliver to come."

I smiled up at Sarah. "I always knew there was something good in you somewhere. Thanks Sarah."

"No problem."

I drank more water trying to hydrate myself. "Did Kaz ever come to see me?"

"He was in the car ride with me, he just wanted to make sure you were okay. Then he dropped you off here and went with Oliver to the police station."

My thoughts accrued back to Oliver. I never wanted him to find out this way, I never wanted to tell him that this was happening. I was scared to tell him, but him finding out instead was the scariest thing ever.

"What did Oliver do to my parents?" I asked quietly hoping it wasn't too bad.

Sarah looked like she had seen a ghost. "I really don't know but he looked so angry I had never seen him like this before, his hands were shaking and he kept clenching his teeth. I did notice his knuckles were scratched a little."

"I'm afraid." She says.

"Afraid of what?" I ask.

"I'm afraid that he is going back to his past. I'm scared that he will go back to the way he used to be, when I saw him today."

His past? Oliver never told anything about his past. I felt like now there was a weight on my chest when she told me that. I feel like now I don't know the real Oliver, if I don't know anything about his past.

"I never knew Oliver had a bad past."

Sarah looked everywhere but at me, she looked like she regretted what she said. "He never told you, Oh I thought he told you by now I mean you guys are pretty close."

"I guess not close enough to know about his past."

Sarah looked at me with honesty. "Skylar, it's something that is really hard for him to talk about. He never brings up usually, he doesn't like colliding back to his past."

I shrug it off. "I get it, I mean here I am lying to him and everyone else for months and months," My head bent down low. "Years and years." I say lowly feeling a tear slide down to my cheek.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?"

I wiped the tear away. "I don't know I guess, I was scared of leaving, I was scared of getting transferred, I guess I'm just so used to it that I don't know why I couldn't just straight up call 911 and see what happens."

"They're not going to hurt you anymore," Sarah bend down to my level and gave me a sad smile. "I promise Oliver and Kaz has everything covered."

"Okay." I smiled sadly, feeling the pain in my back. It stung me. I have been whipped before but nothing like this, nothing that can compare to the pain that I had right now.

"Skylar!" A loud voice echoed the hall and I knew that voice too well. Sarah stood up her eyes traveling the floor as she knew that voice too. I then watched as my best friend rush into Sarah's room with a worried expression.

"Sky." He smiles happily as he crushes me with a hug and I hugged back tightly. My eyes looked at Sarah who continued to look down as she saw me and Kaz hugged. I had a feeling she had strong feelings for Kaz, but didn't want to admit it.

I frowned at the sight of her, she was in love with him. Kaz pulled away and I noticed the slap mark on his pale face. Man Sarah really got him. I also noticed that Kaz was avoiding Sarah's eye contact.

Wonder what's that about?

"How did it go?"

Kaz smiles down at me with a hopeful smile. "They're gone Sky. They're gone."

"Oh."

I didn't know what to feel at this point. I knew that they were gone but I still didn't know if I should happy or sad about this. I knew I wasn't going to miss the consent beating and abuse.

"That's all your going to say, aren't you happy about this Sky."

"I don't know!" I hissed at him not knowing why I turned angry all the sudden. "You tell me if this was really the right reason or not!"

Kaz looked shocked at me. "What do you mean? Of course I thought it was the right reason! I have known this was the right reason since the 5th grade!"

His head turns to the right and I noticed a red mark but it wasn't a slap mark. I put my brows at Kaz as I looked at him, What had happen to his face?

"What happen to your face?" I asked not even caring about the arguments we had.

Kaz turn to look at Sarah who shakes her head angrily at him and walks out of the room. I watch as Kaz breaths out heavily knowing he really made Sarah upset.

"It's nothing." He lied.

"No," I stood up. "I know Sarah slapped you but how did you get that mark of the side of your eyes?"

A realization hit me, as I stared at the picture of the Sarah's family. Oliver. Did he actually hit Kaz?

"Was it Oliver?" He didn't speak. "It was him! He punched you! Why did he punch you?!"

My anger was going towards now Oliver. I couldn't believe he touched Kaz, I would never think he would do that to my best friend. Kaz looked at me and signed while I had an urge myself to go and punch Oliver.

"I deserved it." Kaz muttered.

I look at Kaz with disbelief. "What do you mean you deserved it? What did you do Kaz?"

"He knew." A new voice accrues and I turn my head to see Oliver standing by the doorway. The anger in me never leaving as I glared at him, that's all he has to say.

Kaz backed up to Oliver. "Oliver, you don't have to do this. She doesn't need to know anyway."

I then took a step forward feeling a slight sting on my back. "No! I want to know, you don't go around hurting my best friend!"

Oliver shook his head moving away from Kaz and stepping towards me. His blue eyes weren't soft or warm anymore, it was more like rage and anger in them. His jaw kept clenching and his fits were scrapped.

"Well your best friend should have done something right away you were abused!" He hissed at me. "So yeah I did punch him when I found out he knew all this time and didn't do anything!"

"Kaz, go me and Oliver have things to talk about." I say looking at Oliver instead of Kaz but I knew he would understand. Oliver didn't know anything, he didn't know the pain I was in.

"Okay, if you need me I'm right outside." He said and I nod my head hearing the door slam click.

Now it was me and Oliver in the middle of Sarah's room. His eyes still burning with rage and anger, I could see his eyes traveling to my arms. I was angry too, I still didn't like the idea of him hurting Kaz.

Not after everything he has done for me.

"How could you live with this," Oliver said. "Having to live with the abuse everyday and not even thinking about telling someone!"

"You won't understand! I had to because I was going to be alone either way, they would have token me away and sent me somewhere. I wasn't going to do that."

"Well it's better than getting abuse every single day!" He yelled and for the first time I saw this side. I saw the anger, the real anger. Not people getting angry but his was real venom.

I should be scared of him but I wasn't.

"Just leave it Oliver!" I hissed at him.

Oliver went to shock mode. "Leave it, leave it! How could you think that I was going to leave it like this! They touched you Skylar!"

He stepped closer to me. "I saw you on the floor, bleeding and looking in so much pain," His voice became softer. "I lost it when I saw that, I turned into a person I never wanted to be anymore."

I looked up to his blue eyes again, his eyes didn't seem to have much anger anymore. I felt my breath sunk as I said two words. "Your past."

"How did you know?"

I shifted my eyes away from him. "Sarah told me but she didn't me the full story, I didn't ask her but it seemed like it was pretty bad."

Oliver shook his head. "It doesn't matter, it's my past. It's my story to tell not anyone else."

"Then why won't you leave mine alone?"

Oliver looked into my eyes, his eyes only focusing into mine. "You're different, I was a stubborn kid, I was selfish, I never badly to hurt someone. You don't do anything like that, you put yourself last before anyone else."

I shook my head this time. "That's not true."

Sure I would do anything for the people I care about which was only truly Kaz. I made sure none of my parents could even touch him, if it was up to me I would have pushed Kaz far away possible.

He just kept coming back.

"You make me laugh when you lie to my face," He tried to be angry but all I could see was a hurt expression. "You can't tell me that you don't do that to Kaz."

I stayed silent as his right words. "Kaz, he knew so much ways to help you but he kept it a secret. He knew so much, more than me."

I glared at Oliver. "You still don't get it, I asked him! I told him not to tell anyone!" I yelled at Oliver and he clenched his jaw once again.

"Yeah and that was the stupid part on you! Why don't you ever think for yourself!?" He yelled but this time my heart stopped. In that moment, this moment he wounded just like my parents. I didn't want to relives this over again.

"People get hurt Oliver, sometimes you can't stop the pain but sometimes you can. I dealt with this my whole life, I don't need you coming in here acting as if if you knew all along."

"I'm not trying to," Oliver stepped closer, his hands touching my cheek. His thumb gently rubbing over my bruise, I could see he hate it too. "But when someone hurts you, I lose it."

My hand goes over his hand as I look into his eyes. I shouldn't be the reason he going to be back on his dangerous side, I shouldn't be the reason for anything. I was a girl who couldn't do anything, I was weak and had walls.

"I'm not worth it like that," I push his hand off my cheek. "You need to find another girl who is worth it like that, I'm not her."

Oliver looked at me with shock. "Skylar, what are you talking about? Of course you are!"

I stepped back. "No, I'm really not. You need to forget me, you need to leave my life. I'm not the type of girl you should even be friends with."

"Why are you acting like this?"

I took a deep breath. "Because I want my old life back, I don't want to be close to anyone. You need to understand that."

Oliver shook his head. "I don't."

"You will soon," I started to move my way to the bedroom door. "I should go."

"Skylar!" I turned around to see a hurt Oliver. "You don't mean anything you said right?"

"I did."

The last words I told him before walking downstairs seeing Kaz waiting for me. He took my hand and led me outside. I had a shaky breath and felt like I couldn't breath at this point. Knowing I was never going to be able to talk to Oliver.

For the first time, I felt my actual heart break.

How did you guys like it? I know I can't believe Skylar doesn't want to be friends with Oliver but its only because she doesn't know what to think, her parents are in jail, she is going to be alone with no family.

If you guys want I had a separate chapter of Oliver pov of the flash back from Skylar. It's going to be explained what he did next chapter but doesn't give details but my other chapter does. It's just basically Oliver fighting off the Valentines.

How is Sarah doing? Just wondering was it too much? I kinda felt like it was rushed but then I also like the way I put her and Skylar's friendship (Well close to it).

Now onto reviews:

TKDP: Thank you! I'm glad you understand it. At least Kaz and Oliver had save the day for Skylar but ended bad for Skolivers. It will get better though I promise! I get the feeling with updating though, it's really hard when you have work, school, or your just really busy. I honestly suck at it lol. Thanks for reviewing!

Guest: I know, Skylar wanted to get more close but her parents were in the way. It's okay because it turned out better (Well Kinda). Thanks you so much!

Guest: Thank you, I like how I put Oliver finding it out. It was amazing way to show that Oliver would have found out that he would help Skylar in any way. I'm also glad that you like the way I'm putting Sarah, people think she is just rude but sometimes you need to learn about the person before judging them.

Mightymedfanfic: Thank you so much! That my favorite review and I cracked a huge smile when I read it! I love reviews like this. I try my hardest to make sure everything is good with my writing (I'm not really that good with grammar). This literally lifted up my spirit so thank you so much!

jaleftwich: Thank so much and I hate her parents too don't worry you are not the only one! Now onto for a quick second. Okay so I'm happy that you and Reagan are getting better. Now you and Aleah sound like you guys really like each other (Or maybe it's just me) I'm happy to hear that you mother might extend the rule, because if you like her then go for it.

Now onto this girl named Aubrey. I could tell that she did you give you the cookie, if she froze when you asked her then she gave it to you. (Which I found it pretty sweet, not going to lie) I think that you should get more clues from her, just to see if anything would happen. So you basically have to get to know her more. Also it's not problem to talk to me about this, I don't mind as longs as I help. I don't really have any problems in my life, my family is amazing, my friends and my boyfriend is too but thank you for asking.

Now to answer you question: Cheap thrills by Sia.

sirslinkalot: Thank you so much! I know it was amazing to have an Oliver Pov and *Gasps* Kaz in the chapter, especially this chapter with him and Sarah *Something going on there, you think?* Anyways, thanks for reviewing!

Okay thank you guys so much for the reviews! I hope to see you guys soon and not late but we'll see what happens. At least school is about to end really soon *2 more weeks* Yah! I know i'm excited too! See you guys.
