Tangled In The Great Escape
This Is It
VIC'S POV
Turning the ignition off, I looked straight ahead as I tried to pull myself together. When ever I seen Skye, or even thought about her, I lost my grip on reality and just fell into this blissful wonderland. She had a way with me, which resulted in me becoming dazed whenever I wasn't with her - my mind needed her to figure out how to work, even though it's version when with her was loved up and unaware of anything negative.
'Ever getting out?' Said Jaime, knocking on the window. Signalling for him to stand back, I lifted by bag before getting out the car. 'You okay, man?'
'I'm fine,' I said, locking the car. 'Did you speak to that Heather girl last night?' I joked, wiggling my eyebrows.
'Yeah,' he confessed, cheeks going blood red. 'I asked her to sit with us again.'
'Oh,' I said, 'my man is putting on the moves!'
'Fuck off,' he scoffed, a grin obvious on his face. Tossing a fist at his shoulder, we laughed a little as we walked along.
Spotting Skye as she got off the bus, I could feel my palms growing sweaty. She leaned against the fence and put one foot against it as though she was waiting for someone.
'Sup?' Said Kellin, joining me and Jaime. My eyes were glued to Skye. 'Earth to Vic?' he said, waving his hands on front of my face.
'Yeah, sorry,' I said, making eye contact before looking back to see that Skye had disappeared, what the fuck?
SKYE'S POV
Racing Heather up the stairs, we collapsed against the wall and slid down as we cracked up. She was like the best friend I never had, we got on insanely well. Pulling her knees up to her chest, she exhaled deeply as she watched her thumbs dance around each other.
'What's up?'
'I was talking to Jaime last night,' she said. 'I don't know, he is so nice online but it real life he's just so quiet.'
'He's nervous,' I grinned. 'Wait, we could probably see them out the window.' Taking to my feet, I pulled Heather up and we went over to the window by the staircase. 'There,' I said, tapping the window with my finger.
'Vic's looking for you,' she said. Looking at him, I blushed a little as I watched him glancing in every direction and repeatedly checking his phone. 'You should text him Skye, he looks worried.' Gazing down, I sneakily carried on watching as he fixed his hat and then checked his phone once again. He leaned in and said something, the guys all the turned around and looked about too. 'Come on,' laughed Heather. 'He's got a freaking search team ready!'
'Okay, okay.' I giggled, pulling out my phone.
To: Vic <3
Hey baby, just thought I'd let you know that I'm inside the school with Heather. <3
From: Vic
Okay :) <3
'Done,' I said to Heather.
'He's head over heels for you, Skye.'
'You think?' I said, scratching at the side of my phone with my nail.
'Yeah, totally. It's really sweet, you're lucky.'
'I'm sure Jaime will come around soon,' I comforted, patting her on the back.
Spending the rest of the day with Heather's words in my head, I couldn't help but smile. Is he head over heels for me? I don't deserve him. He is flawless. My mind fell back to that morning when I watched him glance down with an anxious face as he fiddled with his snapback. He looks so adorable in hats. He looks so adorable in general.
Entering my house, I groaned a little as I realised I had only seen him at lunch. I miss him. Going through to the kitchen, minutes passed before a heavy rain shower began. Loving the rain, I rushed upstairs and changed into my sweats and strap top. I curled up on my windowsill and watched as the drops raced each other to the bottom of my open window. I shut my eyes and allowed the sound of the rain to relax me. I watched as the rain filled a concave shaped leaf, the weight causing it to flop and let the water run out. I stared at the leaf as it happened over and over again, it was hypnotizing.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door. Figuring it would probably be Pete's ex-wife dropping Vivian off, I decided not to clean up before going down. I opened the door to reveal a soaking wet Vic.
'This is amazing!' He shouted, looking at me as though he'd just been given $1,000,000. Without saying another word, he took my hand and pulled me out the door. He lead me down the steps and dropped my hand once we were right under the dark grey clouds. Shutting his eyes, he removed his snapback and threw it on to the path carelessly. I watched intently as rain drops rolled down his perfect face. 'This is it,' he said under his breathe.
'This is what?' I exclaimed, the pounding of the rain drowning out my voice.
'When they say it gets better, this is what they're talking about!' He shouted, stepping back and smiling up at the sky. 'This is it!'
Grabbing my hand, he took me along with him as he raced down the street. Pulling me into a path, we carried on running until we ended up under towering trees. He guided me through the forest and I watched my step as I was only in fluffy socks. Noticing my lack of footwear, he gestured for me to hop on his back. Doing so, he began to go down a slope and I looked at my surroundings as I could hear the sound of a heavy flowing river.
Sure enough, moments later, we were (Vic was) standing at the bank of a river. The water was thundering down the hill at an alarming rate, yet it seemed to have an odd soothing effect due to its hum. Being joined by the pitter patter of the rain, I shut my eyes and listened to the natural song as it kissed my ears.
Plopping me down, Vic remained silent as he climbed into the water. 'Vic, get out! It's dangerous!' I shouted. Stepping closer to the edge, I realised that he was in a rather sheltered pocket. He looked up at me and wiggled his eyebrows playfully.
Reluctantly, I got on my knees and slid into the freezing cold water. Vic pinned me against the river bank, making sure I wouldn't float away. It was crazy - I was in a fast flowing, downward flowing river yet I felt completely safe. I looked into his big brown eyes as they stared back at me. Leaning in, he pressed his lips against mine. The kiss was short and sweet, but it felt meaningful. Pulling away, he took hold of my hips and pushed me up on the river bank. Rolling away from the waters edge, I watched anxiously as he climbed out. His clothes, like mine, were stuck to his body.
Collapsing down on the leafy ground, we both lay completely flat and let the odd rain drop his us from the trees above.
'Skye?' he said quietly.
'Mhmm?'
'I think I'm falling in love with you.'
He's falling in love with me. Oh my goodness, the one and only Vic Fuentes is falling for me? This is crazy. He is crazy. He is hot. Oh god. He is so freaking perfect.
'Vic?'
'Yeah?'
'I think I'm falling in love with you too,' I said, rolling over and attaching our lips.
Cupping my face with his hand, he pushed my hair behind my ear and kissed me gently. His tender lips brushed against mine before meeting and then parting momentarily, the whole process being repeated over and over. His breathe was warm on my skin; his hands caressed my skin like I was made of thin glass; his lips were so kissable I feared I could never part with them for longer than a minute.
He was right, this is it.
