"I want us to be friends."
In the beginning, the idea of the Skye being friends with Lucas Taylor had been...unimaginable.
As soon as the words had been uttered, Skye had wanted it.
But she also had been terrified of the idea.
It became one of her many, constant, inner-battles.
Her first priority had been to keep her mother safe.
As she reflected back on the information she'd gathered for the Sixers, she was extremely relieved that she'd been able to find a way to only give them bits and pieces of it.
In a way, she had been fooling them—and Lucas.
But she'd still made a...friend…out of the experience.
The words he'd said were so simple. They had come at a time when she needed exactly what they were offering—a friend.
And one who already knew what a terrible person she was.
But Lucas was more than a friend.
Or at least he wanted to be.
She wanted something more too.
It was just a matter of figuring out how to do it. How to sneak out of the colony without anyone noticing. Which was impossible.
Skye wondered if Lucas would find a way to get to her.
He seemed like a man who was more than capable of sneaking in if he wanted to.
She shivered at the thought.
Thank you for reviewing everyone! Again, I really appreciate it:) Sorry it has taken so long to get this chapter up...I have been having trouble uploading for some reason.
