Have I said this enough? Angst in this chapter - or what I would consider as angst

A bit of swearing, incase anyone doesn't like that

Enjoy xx

Skye POV

I woke up with a yelp, springing off the side of the bed and landing with a thud on the floor. I sat up, breathing hard.

After a few seconds of dazed confusion I let myself fall back onto my carpet, closing my eyes. My wings were cramped uncomfortably between the floor and my back, so I spread them out on either side of me, stretching them with a sigh.

My dream bothered me for some reason, but I had no idea why. It was just of people I knew… I mean, everyone was paired off, but it wasn't particularly bothering.

I wondered what had made me wake up with such fervour, but when I came up with nothing I shrugged it off and checked the clock. Damn. Time to get ready for school.

I jumped into the shower, putting on the radio as I massaged soap into my hair. I poured the soap over my wings and washed them as well, and as I was rinsing them off a song came on the radio. I hadn't heard it before and it was by this new artist, so I stayed in the shower a little longer, listening to the chorus.

I'm with someone, being with someone,

His eyes glistening in the moonlight.

He kisses me softly, sweetly.

Giving my heart wings that match my own.

I feel like flying.

I wake up, alone, shattered.

The tears start to flow,

Will I always be alone?

In this world where everyone has someone but me.

A outcast.

A Loner.

A freak.

The last word seemed to be silently said after the chorus, drumming in my head crazily.

A hybrid.

I turned off the shower in a surprising burst of violence, towelling myself roughly and putting on some clothes. I blow dried my hair before throwing on some make up, stalking out of my bedroom and grabbing my bag on the way out.

I took the stairs two at a time, seeing I was running late by the clock hanging above the mantel piece. I walked into the kitchen to see Rosalie straddling Emmett, both of them attacking each others mouth with ferocity I doubt humans could repeat. They looked so perfect together, a match made in heaven.

Suddenly I felt jealousy and sadness rise up in me, and I snapped as I walked past them, "Jesus, could you find another place to suck face?"

And I was so mad I walked straight back out again, anger pulsing in my veins. I threw open the front door and walked out down the gravel, intending to walk to school.

Jasper was beside me in a second. "What's wrong?" he asked. "You're all upset and angry for no reason I can find out."

"Butt out of my emotions, Jasper." I snapped. Shrugging off my bag, I spread my wings and jumped.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Emmett and Rosalie standing next to Jasper, staring at me. I ignored them and flew high above the clouds, clasping my bag.

The anger faded away to a lingering sadness, and I was confused. I didn't mean to snap at them like that. I don't know what came over me.

I landed behind the school to avoid being seen, and walked into the car park early. I walked to my homeroom and upon realizing the door was locked, leaned against the wall outside it.

Pupils started to walk past, some of them smiling at me, others ignoring me. When Emily turned up, she chattered away at me, gushing about Oliver with such vigour I wasn't surprised she didn't take any notice of my scant replies. When we were let into the room by Mrs Greg I claimed my seat at the back, sitting in silence.

Sarah turned up, and I stared at the desk as she gossiped eagerly with Emily, trying to figure out my feelings.

"Hey, did you hear that new song? It's so good, it almost made me cry." Sarah said animatedly.

"No. How does it go?" Emily encouraged.

Sarah's always been a fair singer, so she leaned towards us and sang softly,

It's funny

I see all these couples and I'm staring

Laughing, holding hands

So in love they don't notice

The one in the corner

That's me

I've never thought of love before

Never really had time

To wonder if I'll get a guy

Who loves me for who I am?

And what

That song was the beginning of the same song I'd heard this morning in the shower.

"My god, that's beautiful!" Emily smiled. She noticed me staring at Sarah and asked suspiciously, "Skye? Are you all right?"

"Ye…" I paused. "No. I'm not. I'm going to see the nurse."

I walked out of the room, my quick pace becoming a jog. I road and to the fknew Alice would see me now, and to prevent Edward from reading my thoughts I thought over and over again, going to see the nurse, feel sick. Going to see the nurse, feel sick. Going to see the nurse, feel sick.

But I didn't go to the nurse.

I ran out the emergency exit, thanking god it didn't have an alarm. I ran onto the forest, sprinting as hard as I could. A parked car had that song on.

Now I'm wishin, hoping, praying

That I'll find him

But I might not

I'm such a freak

It's a wonder I even have friends

Can I get the guy I want?

Everyone round me has someone

To hold, to think of, to love

They pray for their loved one

While I pray for my own life

I let out a small scream.

Oh dear god make it stop.

I plunged into the dark shadows, running along a small path my feet knew. My phone started to buzz, but I ignored it, running faster. I run faster than a human, so I should get to my clearing in a few minutes.

I run faster than a human.

I chocked on my own words.

The clearing was in sight. I pelted for it, and just as I was about to take off my phone automatically played my new voice message from Jasper.

"Skye Cullen, where the hell are you going?"

Alice's voice came over the speaker.

"Is she okay? Where's she going?"

With a strangled scream I leapt into the air, soaring upwards furiously.

Edward POV

I heard her scream and take off, and I was at her clearing in seconds. Jasper was one step behind me, and I reeled back as he sunk to the ground, holding his head.

"Dear god, she's so upset." He panted. "Why? Why?"

A song played on the radio from a parked car way behind us before the forest.

So I'll pray for my life

Hoping that someone will see

Will overlook me as a freak

And will love me for me

I stared at Skye's retreating figure before setting my face in a grim line. "I know why." I said.

I felt sadness and shame I'd never thought of it before.

"I know why."

Skye POV

I landed on my mountain top, feeling pain and loneliness building up to an almost unbearable point.

I run faster than a human.

"Well of course I do!" I screamed. "No frickin duh!"

I kicked the barren tree, ignoring the pin points of pain that shot through my foot.

"I'm not human, am I?" I demanded of no one. I turned to face the forest that gave away to Forks below me that used to hold me captivated, but now seemed to be nothing to me.

"I mean, come on! Look at me!"

My wings flared on either side of me. I chocked as I realized how I must look, with wings and tears falling down my face.

Like some sort of fallen angel.

"I'm like a fucking earthbound angel." I yelled, kicking dust over the edge. "Jeez! God, when you made me, did you mean to put me on earth? Or was it a fucking accident?"

The tears were flowing thick and fast, making black rivulets down my face as my mascara ran.

"Why, thank you soooooooo much!" my voice was thick with sarcasm. "I mean, who wouldn't want wings?"

I kicked at the dust again, indescribable rage building inside me.

"I can't wear tank tops; I have to always wear hoodie's around people. I have to wear three shirts at gym to hide my wings. I can't go swimming when there's a human around. I'm taller than most girls in my class. I eat like a pig. I hate being so frickin smart. And you know the worst thing about this?"

I demanded of the uncaring sky. Never did the sky look so bleak and uninviting.

"Everyone around me has someone!" I screeched. "Every human has a lover; every vampire has a mate. What happened to the quota for hybrids? I can't ever like a human; I'll punch them if I get angry and cave their bloody face in! They'll freak out at my wings; who wouldn't?"

My voice was raspy from the intensity of my scream, my tears were stopping. I felt hollow and empty, like my soul had been taken away.

I backed away from the edge, feeling suddenly suicidal. I leant against the tree and slowly slid down it, my eyes on the sky.

"I have no one. No one to hold my hand, or kiss my cheek, or tell me I look beautiful whatever I wear, who makes me feel safe, who doesn't care about my frickin wings."

I was whispering to no one. I didn't even know why I was talking to myself. "Who loves me. Who wants to marry me and live with me and take care of me regardless of the fact I'm not human."

I drew my knees up. A single tear rolled down my cheek.

"All I want is a guy who loves me." I asked softly. "Even though I'm a freak. Isn't there anyone out there who can do that?"

The sky remained stubbornly silent, as if God himself was affronted by my violent rant and refused to answer.

Now we know why she felt funny when she saw all those couples together

Review please xx
