Break Down The Barricade

Skye's POV:
What the fuck? Dustin shot Mike. It was like all my emotions were flung at me at once, and I began to cry.

'I'm sorry Mike. I had no idea he would shoot to when you came to get me.'

I looked up at him. He was frowning and holding me closely into his chest, stroking my cheek gently and shushing my tears.

'Baby, I would take a thousand bullets for you every second, so you and our baby could stay safe. A thousand bullets wouldn't hurt me, for knowing that you were safe.'

My breathing slowed and a tear of relief and happiness trickled down my cheek.

'Oh my... Mike. I'm so sorry though. Dustin can't hurt us though anymore, and in a way, I'm glad this happened. I'm a horrible, horrible person...' I broke off and sobbed 'But I'm relieved. I'm relieved you saved me and I'm finally free from him. Thank you.'

'Skye, please don't cry, it doesn't make you a horrible person. I'm relieved too, knowing you don't have to go through that again.'

'Mike, about this baby? Will you help us? I mean, I thought you were dating Alysha....fuck, what does she think about this?' I questioned him.

On one hand, I didn't want to bring up Alysha. I had this perfect fantasy in my head, of Mike and I strolling into sunsets, hand in hand, flanked by two children and a dog. But this is real life and I wanted to be clear.

'Uhh, Skye, I am going to support this baby, and you. This summer, I met the love of my life. I can't keep leading Alysha on like this. I can't get you out of my head, and frankly I don't want to. I need to stop leading her on though, before she gets too upset and before I get too involved.'

My breath hitched into my throat. Mike wanted me? I could hardly believe it. I thought it was just me admiring him, from afar, for two summers.

I was also relieved that he was sensible enough to want to spare Alysha's feelings, but I wanted to see how she would take it and how he would be able to broach it with her. I swear, I had seen him try and break up with her before, and it went really badly. She clung to him, and by the end of the night, they were closer than ever. I didn't want a repeat of that.

Suddenly the door was flung open. Typical. The bratty blonde was here.

'A...Alysha?' Mike asked shakily.

She looked pissed, and I wondered how much of that she had heard. She answered my fears, by striding up to me and slapping my face. I winced and held it, she had literally struck a nerve, a bruise covered one.

'You bitch! I knew there was something going on with you and him, who is supposed to be MY boyfriend.' She yelled.

Mike hardly helped matters. He leant over his hospital bed and caressed my burning cheek with his large hands. I brushed it away, and looked at him.

'I'll leave you guys to it.' I whispered to him, and smiled ever so slightly with the corner of my mouth, on the other side to Alysha, so she couldn't see. He nodded back, acknowledging both of my actions.

I pressed the button to call the nurse in. I feigned tiredness, and requested to go back to my ICU room. She nodded, and when we were in the corridor, she whispered to me.

'When his girlfriend leaves, I'll let him come back to your room.' She said. I nodded, surprised. 'Oh, I heard. And you got a decent one there, one who doesn't want to cheat. Plus, his girlfriend was totally being a bitch by listening outside the door.'

We laughed and she took me back to my room.

'Call me if you need anything.' She said 'And maybe when your out, we could go for coffee? My name's Lisa, Lisa Ruocco and I'm not really supposed to do this.' She giggled and I agreed.

Mike's POV:

I turned around to see a very pissed off Alysha standing in front of me.

'You will dump her, and come back with me, Mike. You won't survive ten seconds without me, and we damn know it. I can survive without you, but for your fans, and my career, we should be together. What can a stupid slut who can take some pictures do for you?' She spat.

I was gobsmacked. I thought she loved me. Maybe she did, but he also wanted to use me.

'No, get out Alysha. Before I have to call security. I don't want to be with you, accept it.' I replied firmly, and the nurse came and pushed me out of the room.

'Don't worry, I was talking to Skye earlier.' She said and pushed our beds together in her room.

She had fallen asleep, so, despite the agonising pain, I leant over and kissed her cheek.

'A thousand bullets for you.' I whispered.
