Out of the Water
Chapter four
"I can't believe Kira could be so heartless" Sarah turned to her friend; Kate shrugged her shoulders but nodded her head in semi agreement. Sarah raised her brow in disbelief she couldn't believe that her friend honestly believed Kira had done something that was ok.
"Wait your not actually saying you agree with her on this" Sarah hissed, wincing when the teacher threw her a warning look. She smiled her apology at him and turned her attention back to the book in front of her, when she was certain that his attention was back on teaching the class and not on her, she turned her gaze back to Kate.
"No of course not" Kate replied, Sarah raised her brow in silent disbelief, she had seen the look on Kate's face, all because Pogue had mentioned the fact he had spent time comforting the new girl after she had seen the flyers, she was now on lets drive Skye out of the school wagon.
"You know you're unbelievable, Pogue did a good thing yesterday, you should be sticking by him, not jumping on her case, you haven't even met her" Kate turned her head to her blonde haired friend and shook her head, scoffing in annoyance.
"I can't believe your defending him" This time Sarah did laugh out loud, luckily it hadn't been loud enough for the teacher to hear, but it did the intended trick on Kate, who opened her mouth in shock, annoyance and anger.
"Defending him, defending him for what? Pogue doesn't need defending, he did a good thing last night, he comforted someone who was in need of comforting, if you seriously think that's a wrong thing to do, then you seriously need to rethink the relationship Kate, because unlike you, Pogue knows how to be faithful"
Kate opened her mouth in shock; she had never heard Sarah speak to any one in the way she had just spoken to her. She closed her mouth again, coming up with nothing to say to retaliate. She knew it was true, it wasn't a secret that Kate on more then one occasion cheated on her boyfriend of four years, nor was it a secret that if she had been given a chance she would have gotten to no Chase in the way she had wanted to.
"You did not just say that to me" Kate said dumbfounded, sure it was the truth, but was it not the friends place to stick by the friend and not the boyfriend.
"Well I just did. You need to take a step back Kate and smell the roses, Pogue is the best thing that will ever happen to you. You need to take a long hard look in the mirror, because all this that you've got going on, how long do you think before Pogue calls it's quits? There's only so much a guy can take, and you're playing on a thin line"
The bell rang and Sarah quickly grabbed her things, placing them hastily in her bag, she hadn't intended the conversation to turn into a fight, but sometimes Kate really did grate on her last nerve, and putting the new girl under bad light just because her boyfriend spoke to her was the last straw. She really didn't no how Pogue put up with her, because she knew if it was her, she would have ditched her a long time ago and saved on the aggro.
"The thing about playing with thin lines Kate, the longer you play with them, the sooner they brake."
"Please tell me Kate's not still going on about me talking to Skye last night" Pogue said turning his gaze onto Sarah. Sarah shook her head and bit into her burger, finishing her mouth full, she turned her gaze onto her boyfriend's friend.
"Not really, but in her eyes Skye's still the devil. I also told her some home truths im not to sure she liked what I had to say"
Pogue sighed slightly, he liked Sarah he really did, and he appreciated that she cared enough to say something to his way ward girlfriend, but he knew that some time later that night, he was going to get blamed for it, which would lead to another blazing row, and he really didn't want to deal with any more arguments, he honestly didn't no what they had going for them any more, because all they did was fight, and since she had found out the secret, she avoided them all like the plague, only hanging out with them to keep up pretence, and her status as queen of the school.
"Someone had to tell her man" Tyler said digging into his plate of chips in front of him, he pulled a face and reached for the salt and vinegar in front of him, he didn't no why he asked the school to do it because they never put enough on.
"Yea I no man, but I really can not be dealing with it tonight, hell any night' Pogue sighed and ran a hand though his hair. Sarah pulled a face in sympathy.
"Ill talk to her, im the one who pissed her of" Pogue turned to face her and nodded his head in satisfaction; he knew it wouldn't do any good but he was thankful that Sarah was trying.
Caleb smiled down at his girlfriend and snaked a hand around her waist pulling her towards him and placing a soft delicate kiss to the top of her head. She lifted her head and smiled, snuggling into his side she sighed in content. She had never dreamt that moving to Spencer would have caused her such happiness.
"That's the last of them" Reid spoke coming and joining the sons and Sarah at the cafeteria table, he seated himself down at the side of Tyler, quickly pinching one of his chips, he smirked over at his friend and proceeded to dump his bag in the middle of the table, causing Pogue and Sarah to quickly pull away their plates of food.
"The last of what" Tyler questioned his brow raised in unease, he knew Reid better then any of the sons after all they did share the same dorm room, and it had lead to him finding out some thins about the blonde, and trouble was always at the top of the list. .
Reid draw his bottom lip in between his lips and smirked over at his friends, leaning forward so he could unzip his bag he tipped it upside down, the contents spilling out on the table, pieces of paper scattering in every direction, causing them to scramble to stop them from falling on the floor.
Pogue picked one of the pieces of paper up so he could examine it, he furrowed his brow, staring back at him was Skye, she was in her Red Ridge swim team colours, he shook his head in wonder, these were the flyers that Kira had posted all over the school. He turned to Reid and shook his head in amazement, he had only known Reid to go out of his way and help others on very select occasions, and helping complete strangers wasn't his forte.
"Reid you collected all of these" Tyler questioned in shock, he knew that Reid had a kind heart but this; this was pushing it even for him. Reid turned to face him and nodded his head, smiling triumphal at the shocked look on all their faces.
"By yourself" Tyler questioned, Reid rolled his eyes in amusement.
"No the flying pig helped me, yes I collected all of them, and yes I did it myself" Apparently playing good guy wasn't going down as well as he thought it would have.
"Why" Caleb questioned placing handfuls of flyers into the back pack, his hazel eyes searching Reid's, he knew that Reid was a trouble maker, and that he was always on his case, but he knew someone had to be, it didn't mean he didn't care for him, after all they were brothers. But this, this was all slightly far fetched.
"Every one deserves a second chance, I know that better then any one" Reid lowered his head, all he was trying to do was prove that he wasn't a total screw up, that he wasn't number one, that he could take back seat. He knew it was out of character, but he truly felt bad for Skye.
"Plus she is kinda hot" Tyler chuckled there was his friend he knew and loved.
Skye pulled the blanket further around her body, the house had dropped cold, and she couldn't be bothered to move to go and turn the heating up. Pressing play on the DVD player she waited for the film to begin. She had pop corm and chocolate at her side, with a litre of coke. She was set for the night, she didn't have to move, she didn't have to do anything but veg out in front of the tv, with a dvd hottie marathon. She was just like any other teenager in the world, when faced with pain, of heartache, she turned to the chocolate and the junk food and spent most of her time locked away in her room. She had spent the entire day like it, the only time she moved was to change the DVD, or to get more junk food.
She was lucky that her mother was out of town, she was in Miami she guessed, work or some other crap, she didn't really care, because with out her mother she could grieve as much as she wanted. When her mother was there it was like it didn't exist, the accident didn't happen. Skye dealt with it, by not thinking about it, taking one day at a time, and constantly blaming herself, if she had done this, or if that had happened, then maybe they would be alive. She was told she was dealing with survivors guilt she didn't care what they called it, she was the reason they were dead, end of.
Her mom had dealt with the accident by forcing her out of school, out of the only thing that made sense, forcing her into a world she didn't want to be a part of any more, into a place that people would no who she was, sooner of later, and somewhere Kira was. She had forced her out of her world, and into another one, because moving zip codes really meant everything was going to go away, she knew that her mother thought, if you don't talk about it then its not there.
Skye laughed, she didn't no who found the whole thing more difficult to deal with her or her mother, she just wished that for once her mother wouldn't just shove all the things she couldn't cope with under the rug and for once realize there was someone else besides her that was hurting, that she had a daughter who needed her.
The knock at the door draw her attention away from the tv, she raised her brow, wondering who on earth it could be, none of her friends wanted to no her, and certainly wouldn't take the drive down from new york just to see her, and she hadn't made any friends at Spencer, and she knew that because of Kira she never would.
Sighing in frustration and wonder she removed the covers from around her shoulders and paused the DVD. Walking out of the living room and into the foyer, she stared at the door in wonder, she could just ignore it, pretend she hadn't heard it and go back to her junk food and dvds.
This time the bell rang, apparently she wasn't going to be able to do that, she thought, because who ever it was, was sure persistent. Shaking her head she headed over to the door, taking of the chain, she pulled the door open, her eyes rising in shock when she saw who it was.
"Hi can I err come in?" Skye stared dumbfounded at the person in front of her; it really was the last person she expected.
Standing in front of her, was Pogue.
