Skye put a hand on her shoulder, carefully as if the slightest breath would cause her to shatter, "Are you ok?" he asked softly, afraid he'd done something wrong.

(That last bit of delay was my mom being annoying…)
She coughed a couple times before finally regaining her breath. "I-I'm really sorry about that it's just…memories that…remind me of a…bad time and a bad person."
"You don't need to explain to me…" said Skye gently, "It's none of my business. And honestly, I don't want to know who hurt you unless you're asking me to kill them for it."
"He told me he loved me. Then why did he hurt me the way he did?" She muttered to herself brushing her hair out of her eyes.
"That wasn't love…" said Skye, forcing his rising anger back down his own throat. "People who actually love each other, don't hurt each other without explanation."
"He wanted something I didn't want to give. So he took it from me by force."
Skye blinked in slight alarm, "That's not love…." he whispered… "Love protects people….. It shouldn't be used to steal…."
"He said he loved me. He said he'd never hurt me the way my father did. Why did he lie to me?"
"I don't know…" said Skye softly, "I wish I could tell you but I can't…."
She shook her thoughts away. "Whatever. It doesn't matter. He took what he wanted and left me for dead. And according to him, I am."
She sighed heavily and laid her head on his shoulder. "But you're different."
Skye watched her silently, carefully placing an arm on her back, slowly so she could pull away.
"I know you won't hurt me like he did. That's just not who you are as a person."
"And I'm glad that I'm right." She kissed his cheek gently. "I'm beginning to wonder how the hell you noticed a girl like me."
"How could I not?" He asked with a slight smile. "You walked onto my rooftop, anyone with brains could've seen that you were a gem."
"A gem covered in bruises, maybe. And I'm no gem. I'm just a girl."
"You are a jewel like no other" insisted Skye,
"You need to check your vision because you're seeing something that isn't there."
"My vision is fine" said Skye, smirking a little, leaning back and flopping on the rooftop. "And I'm not going to change my opinion on that. No more than I could change my love for my siblings"
She laid next to him, staring up at the night sky with a smile. "Can't say I didn't try."
Skye gazed up at the immensely beautiful sky above them. It was clear. And they were so high up that they could see every star in the sky.
"Have you ever tried to count the stars in the sky? I've managed to get up to 500 before falling asleep."
"I think I got up to a hundred thousand once" said Skye. "But then I lost count and gave up."
"I could've probably gotten up farther but I was sleepy and was not going back to the palace unless someone dragged me back."
