One Last Chance
sky dropped to his knee's, pulling me into his lap. he held me tightly until i stopped crying, and i could finally breathe again, sky told me jesse had left and he wasn't going to come back.
"i wasn't there in time" sky stood up clenching his fists.
"i could have stopped him, he wouldn't have touched you, but i fell asleep."
his tone was rising.
"i should have been there, i should have stopped him."
i leaned into sky, wrapped my arm's around him and told him it was okay.
"if you hadn't been here, i wouldn't be alive sky."
"don't beat yourself up, you saved me. i let you sleep and answered the door without you."
i held held his hands, his fist's still clenched, sky's eye's started to water and he turned away.
"i love you sky, it's just me and you now."
we were lying on the bed together, we kissed over and over.
giggling and smiling, sky already had my shirt off. i didn't stop him, i loved him and i was ready for this now, he didn't pressure me.
"nicole, are you sure?"
i laughed, and took off his shirt.
he leaned in again to kiss me, it wasn't long.
i woke up with sky's arm's around me, and i seen him smiling at me.
i laughed and headed for a shower.
the last couple day's had been amazing, who was sky.
where did he come from, how did he and i fit together so perfectly?
i was so happy, and in such a good mood.
i was singing in the shower, that's how happy i was!
"never too late" by hedley, i sang it over and over.
"find a way to smile and never let it get a-way-ay-ay!"
i could hear sky laughing at my in the hall way.
i turned off the water, and took a good look at myself in the mirror.
i looked happy, my smile was beautiful, my eye's were vibrant, i was glowing.
my neck was black and purple from jesse, but i wasn't going to let that bring me down today.
i dressed in black skinny jean's, a light pink tank top, with ruffles on the chest, and a black belt around my torso, tied the look together with my black wedge heel's, and some jewelry.
i covered up my bruises, finished off my makeup and headed down stair's.
"hey beautiful" sky smiled at me.
i laughed, grabbed the key's, sky's hand and headed for the car.
we drove for while we didn't really know where we were going, but i decided anywhere was our destination. i took photo's of everything, old landscape, abounded barn's and house's, the sunset, animal's. we got out of the car, and walked over to a field, sky sat down pulling me into his lap again. he put his arm's around my wait, and kissed me on the cheek.
i managed to get the perfect picture, we both looked so happy and so in love.
after we went out for lunch, i went home and printed out the picture of me and sky.
i put in a black frame, with a bow on the corner. it fit my room perfectly, and i felt complete.
i heard sky mumbling something in the kitchen, he walked up the stair's and handed me the phone. with a questioned look on my face, sky mouthed the words "doctor".
"hello miss payne, i'm calling to inform you of you're mother's condition."
"hey, how's she doing?" i said smiling.
"i'm so sorry nicole, i'm afraid you're mother isn't going to make it."
i collapsed to the floor, sky came rushing in.
i felt like my life was about to end.
