You Can Quote Me on That

Skye couldn't sleep tonight.

It's not because she had a nightmare about one of her horrible foster homes or because she was stressed out due to the fact that she still hadn't finished her edits for work.

It's because for the first time in a very long time, she was happy.

Ever since she was little, Skye never believed that she would ever fall in love. She dreamed of a guy would sweep her off her feet and drag her away from this hell she called life.

Care for her

Protect her

…

Love Her

Corny right?

Growing up, every family who fostered her sent her back to St. Agnes, mainly because she wasn't a good fit. Some of those families she was happy to get away from. But, there were some families where she had developed hope that the place would be her forever home, only to have her dreams crushed when they sent her back.

This all led to her being bullied in school because no one wanted to date or hang out with the "unwanted foster kid", Mary Sue Poots.

When she turned sixteen, Skye ran away from St. Agnes and started going by her preferred name.

Even though she felt better with the situation, she still felt like she was missing something.

The man who she dreamed would sweep her off her feet.

At one point soon after she ran, she actually thought that she found him.

Miles Lydon was a gifted hacker and political activist and there was something about him that made 17-year old Skye weak at the knees… in the beginning.

In the beginning, he took care of her and taught her how to hack, which she appreciated but then he changed when she didn't immediately have sex with him.

There were days when Skye was able to avoid when he would get in the "mood", but one night when they were walking back home, he tried to pressure her into having sex when they got back. But, Skye refused.

"Why do you have to be so damn difficult?" Miles snapped at her.

Skye jumped back in fear. "I'm sorry, I just…"

"You know what I'm done waiting." Miles proceeded to roughly grab her arm and pull her along.

"W-What are you talking about?"

"If you won't give me what I want, I'll just take it for myself."

Skye's eyes widened in fear and she fought back trying to get out of his grasp. He just kept pulling her along until someone screamed

"Hey!"

Miles quickly turned around. "What the hell do you want?"

Even with Miles's monster grip, Skye was able to turn a little to see a man standing there. She could tell that he was about the same height as Miles. He had jet black hair and from Skye could see in the dark of the night, he had brown eyes as well.

The man was not intimidated at all with Miles's exterior and stood his ground. "I think the girl said she didn't want to go with you."

"You know what." Miles snarled as he let go of Skye and got up in the man's face. "Who are you to stop me?"

All of a sudden, Miles threw a punch at the guy. But, sadly for Miles, the stranger caught it in his fist and he threw Miles into the wall. Miles hit his head on the nearby trash cans, which effectively knocked him out.

Skye stood there in shock, still taken back from what just happened. She was so shocked that she didn't notice her savior walking up to her until he was standing right in front of her.

"Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned look on his face.

Skye warily looked up at him, her eyes watery with a sad smile. "Yah." Skye glanced over at the unconscious Miles. "He's never done that before."

"Ya, I've heard that before. Do you have anywhere to stay tonight?"

"No."

The stranger, that Skye realized could not be any older than 19, looked around before saying "Come on."

The man, who she learned was named Grant, took her home. He offered for her to stay with him for a while.

Skye was very wary of Grant when she stayed with him because of what Miles did. It turned out that Grant worked a gym as a self-defense trainer and he started teaching her some techniques the next day.

Grant seemed too good to be true, too nice, too understanding, but he actually turned out to be the guy that she had dreamed of when she was little.

He took care of her and protected her from anyone who messed with her. He even got her a job at the gym as an IT assistant.

But, most of all, he loved her and that was enough for him.

It's been two years since they met and they're still going strong. And for the first time in forever, her reality was finally better than her fantasies.

"You know you think very loudly right." A gruff voice groaned next to her.

Skye giggled as she turned over to see her boyfriend's handsome face. "Sorry."

Grant smiled at her as he caressed her cheek with his hand. "That's okay, what's got you up?"

"Nothing... I'm just happy."

I hope you like this story and I'm sorry that I villainized Miles so much, but that's how this story turned out.

My recommendation for this chapter is the fanfic "You Are The Music In Me" by ComicKid99. This is a FitzSimmons centric story that places the characters in a performing arts school and ComicKid99 did a really great job writing it. If you have the time, check it out.

Also, please don't forget to SUBMIT QUOTES, I'm running a little low.

Until next time, don't forget to follow, favorite and review!

Thank you!
