I Made a Promise

Chapter 51

~Skylar's POV~
"All right, everyone ready?" We heard Daniel in our radios.
"Ready, heading in." I said into mine.
Liz and I both put our radios in the inner pockets of our jackets.
We got out of the car and saw Daniel and Kyle get out of theirs and we went inside.

We walked inside.
It was dark, but there were so many different colored lights, loud music that you should feel it in your bones, you could smell the alcohol in this place.
"Let's split up." Kyle whispered to all of us.
We all looked at each other and nodded our heads.
I walked around the house, trying to find Jack.

"Hey, you made it!" Hailey came up to me.
"Yea I did." I smiled.
"You want a drink?" She asked, giving me a red cup with I have no clue what in it.
"Um.. no thanks." I said.
"Come on it's a party! Have fun!" She laughed.

I took the cup, but I didn't take a sip.
I was looking around, trying to find if any kids were doing drugs, but I couldn't find anything.
I lost Hailey, but I didn't really care.

I kept looking around until Jack came up to me.
"Hey.. you came.." he smiled.
"Hey, yea... I did..." I told him.
"Come on, let's get you a drink." He said. I didn't have my cup anymore, I set it down somewhere.
"Oh, no I'm fine I don't want one." I said.

"Come on, you have to drink at least one thing." He told me.
I knew that I needed him to show me the evidence, so I agreed.
He took me over to the table that had every type of alcohol imaginable.

He grabbed a cup and started pouring something in a cup, but because of the lighting, I couldn't see what.
He gave it to me.
"I don't know..." I said.
"Come on, just one?" He asked me.

I smelled the cup.
It was vodka. I absolutely hate vodka.
"How about... you make yourself a drink too and we drink it together." I told him.
"Ok." He said, making himself a drink.
He rose his cup up, we hit them together and he drank his cup will I just chucked the liquid back in mine, not drinking a drop.

"Woo!" He yelled out.
"Hey, Addison, remember what I told you at school?" He asked me.
"Yea... you told me that you could help me with my troubles." I told him, with a little manipulative smirk.

"That's right, but before that, how about I show you something?" He asked me.
I was hesitant, but kept going along.
"Really? What.. do you have in mind?" I asked him.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to follow him. I passed by Kyle, he looked at me confused.
I shrugged my shoulders at him and widened my eyes.
Jack pulled me in a room.

We went into the room and he closed the door.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
He looked at me.
He touched my cheek and started running his fingers through my hair.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
Then he started rubbing my shoulders.

Then he just smiled at me. And brushed my up against the wall.
"What's this?" He said. My gun hit is hip bone.
"Nothing.. why don't we just cut right to the chase?" I said, changing the subject, pulling away from him.

"What chase?" He asked me.
"You said that you would help me..." I told him.
"Oh yea... I have something to you first." He said.
He went over to a drawer and started digging through it.
He then pulled out a little bottle.

"What's that?" I asked him.
"This, is for later." He said.
He then grabbed my hand and took me to another room.
We went into the room. It was the size of a bedroom, but all it had were a few couches and some coffee tables.

"Skylar, it sounds like you're close, once he pulls out the stuff, you can do your thing." I heard Nick.
"Ok.. this ain't your first rodeo right?" Jack chuckled as we sat down at a couch.
"Yea, of course not." I laughed.

Then I saw Daniel come in. He was with a guy.
"The high will feel incredible. Come on." The guy laughed.
Daniel saw me, and he patted his gun. I slightly nodded my head.

"So.. you ready?" Jack asked me.
"Yea of course... been waiting all day." I chuckled.
"Alright. What do you want?" He asked me.
Then he pulled his case from under the couch and opened it. There was so much.

"Now." I said into my earpiece.
"Bingo." I pulled out my radio.
Then I pulled out my gun and badge.
"Deceive Skylar Severide with LAPD." I told him.

"Los Angeles Police!" Daniel yelled, and then I heard everyone downstairs.
Everyone started running, but I had Jack pinned on the floor.
"What the hell? You set me up!" He yelled on the floor.
We got him out and arrested.

Once that whole crazy this was over, we all went back to the district.
Liz and I were sitting at our desks, they're right next to each other. I was thinking about my senior year. This party brought back so many memories.

I heard Liz say something, but I didn't hear what she said.
"Hey." Liz said and hit my desk.
I looked at her.
"What?" I asked her.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked me.
"Oh, nothing." I said.

"Skylar, you're my best friend, when are you gonna realize you can't lie to me?" She said.
I sort of chuckled and ran my fingers through my hair.
"Uh yea... I guess you're right." I said.
"So... what were you so deep in thought about?" She asked me.

I looked at the pen that was in my hands and played around with it for a minute.
"My senior year... the parties... him... the person I was pretending to be to drown out my problems..." I said.
Liz put her hand on my shoulder.

"I have a feeling that... I'm the only one you ever told that story to.." she told me.
I looked at her and nodded my head.
"Yea.. you are... and please don't tell anyone... I want to leave my Chicago self back there. That's why I came to LA, for a fresh start." I said.

"Don't worry, I won't... but what about your soon to be husband?" She asked me.
"No, I don't want him to know either. You have to promise me that you won't tell Daniel." I said.
"Won't tell me what?" I heard someone say. I felt someone touch the back of my neck and saw Daniel there.

"Uh nothing. Come on, why don't we start heading home now?" I asked him, getting up.
He looked at Liz, confused, she didn't say anything.

I went into the locker room and got my bag ready.
"Hey, babe? What.. was that?" Daniel came behind me.
"It was nothing. Come on, can we just go home now? I'm exhausted and we have so much to do before the wedding still..." I whined.

He just chuckled.
"Yea you're right, let's go." He wrapped his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.
I was relieved that he dropped it.
And we went home.
