A love story between two people who have fallen for each other. Don't worry it not as simple as that.

Her eyes. Like a bluey grey sky, everlasting and endless.They were eyes that although hidden beneath a pair of glasses could stare straight into your soul and all it took was one stare just one and it would send shivers straight down your spine. She was like those people that only exist in books and fairy tales. She seemed like a villain from a movie, all dark, mysterious, just killing people without the bat of an eyelid. Most people got one look from her and ran for cover but her eyes never scared me. They intrigued me and invited me to get to know the person with these eyes. Her eyes were hiding something and with my very obsessive personality I made it my mission to find out what and before I knew it I had fallen in love with this girl.

Skylar. That was her name. A suiting name or so I thought as it was a name for a badass and it matched her eyes. Although many never tried to break down Skylar’s walls to get to know the person behind the badass. I did and I discovered an incredible unique, nerdy, animal loving human. A person who cries because a superhero is hurt or even when an animal she has never met or seen before dies on a television show. She was a person who collects CDs, DVDs and books, A person who listens to the music that makes her smile not just because it's what's popular at the moment.  Someone whose wall looks like a murder investigation board as she never wants to forget any precious memories she made with the people in her life. It may of taken two years to break down her walls and I may not have made it all the way through but what I have found is a person I want to spend the rest of my life with even if she doesn't feel the same way about me.

I sat on the edge of the counter, watching Skylar stir the pasta. Pasta. The only dish Skylar hadn’t burnt yet but I wouldn’t put it past her to burn it. Skylar twirled her auburn hair around her finger and pinned it at the back of her head. This was an art that Skylar had mastered and to me it Skylar look even more gorgeous than before. Skylar glared at the pot of pasta, her tongue ever so slightly escaping the enclosure of her mouth. I laughed as I had never seen anyone concentrate on cooking pasta so much. Skylar was wearing her pair of converses that although they may have started off as white were now gone past the stage of even being noticed as a shade of cream. I made a note in my head to buy her a pair of black converse for her birthday. Maybe if they were black you wouldn’t notice the dirt so much. I looked up from the floor and suddenly my eye caught Skylars. She had been stealing glances at me. The edges of my lips began to curl into a smile, I couldn’t be helped.

“Do you like what you see?” I cooed

“Yeah. I love the t-shirt you’re wearing.” Skylar laughed

See. Skylar never used to see me the way I saw her. No matter how much I flirted Skylar always just replied to me like a friend would.

As we ate our pasta and joked about how stupid we both were, the light shone through the window and hit the side of Skylars face. The light seemed to shade and highlight all the right areas of her face, Skylar had no need for make-up. She was already perfect. I began to wonder how on earth I could spend any longer with this beautiful human without her knowing just how I felt. I knew it wasn’t possible to live my whole life like this but I wasn’t ready to chance losing Skylar especially not any day soon.

But then it happened. The moment that would forever change my life. We filled a basin with an excessive amount washing-up liquid. Skylar washed the dishes, as I dried them. There was bubbles everywhere and even though I was allergic to washing-up liquid, I never mentioned it. I was having too much fun. She reached over to hand me a plate. The sleeve of Skylars favourite Attack on Titan jumper was beginning to retreat up her arm. What it revealed made my heart sink. All along her arm, criss-crossing in horizontal lines was a graveyard of scars. They were self-inflicted injuries, that broke through the surface of Skylars soft skin to leave scars and most importantly they were scars that I should have prevented or at the very least I should have noticed them before I did. Skylar quickly retracted her arm and yanked down her sleeve when she saw that I laid eyes on her arm. I looked up, into Skylars eyes. Although I knew what these scars were, I began to search Skylar face for any other reason, for some explanation to why these scar were on her body but I didn’t find anything.

“It was my cousin’s cat. He always claws me.” Skylar burst out.

There was tears in my eyes and a lump began to grow in my throat but I knew I had to be strong. I knew I couldn’t cry or breakdown. For Skylar.

“Sky,” I sighed “ you and I both know what those scars are from.”

Skylar now couldn’t look at me straight. She glanced everywhere but at me. Water swelled in her eyes and salty tears rolled down her cheeks which she quickly pushed the tears away with the back of her hand.

“I’m sorry.” Skylar began as she slid her back down the wall until she was left, piled on the floor. At that moment I’m pretty sure I felt my heart break and tear in two. Taking a deep breath and mustering up everything I had left, I knelt down beside Skylar and I took her hands in mine.

“Do you want to tell me why?” I asked squeezing her hand

“It's just I couldn’t do it anymore. I never wanted to kill myself or anything, I just didn’t want to think about it anymore. I pretend I never notice it but I do. Everyday. All the looks and stares and whispers, every time I pass. All the people who avoid being by themselves with me, all the people who find me scary and those who just think I’m just good to get work off because I’m smart. And then…...and then you, the one person who is actually friends with me. You hurt me more than anyone else. I can't bear to spend time with because all I can think about when I do is how much my heart hurts because I’m in love with you and how I can never tell you that because we friends and if I do tell you, you may leave me. All the times you jokingly flirt with me just stabs me in the heart .”

She had just said it. Hadn’t she. She confessed that she had fallen for me.

“Sky, you don’t have to say anything. Just look to me. Ok?” I whispered.

I reached for Skylars chin and gently lifted it up until her eyes met mine. My heart raced in my chest. My hands were a pools of sweat. I closed my eyes, leaned in and slowly parted my lips until they collided with Skylars and we kissed. I began back slowly when Skylar quietly whispered “Don’t worry. I won’t break.” and she pulled me in again. This time the kiss was less gentle. It was harsher, harder. We both knew that each other could take it. That neither one of us would break. Skylars lips were soft and warm and when we kissed it was like our two worlds collided.  This kiss was not only Skylars and mines first kiss. It was the first time either of us had kissed someone of the same sex. The first time I had kissed a girl and it definitely wasn't the last.

I love the emotion, the chemistry you wrote for these two. I would read more of your story. You did have some grammatical errors, but that is to be expected with the first draft.
