' I cant pretend like you!" I cant believe that his words are making me question myself, more so my decisions thus far.I know that I haven't been exactly fair on him, well the part of pretending to not know him. I just cant cave and let him back into my life, the memories that come with him aren't nice and I have tried, to put some things behind me.I dont want to reminise about her or I will fall weak, to my questioning of my decision back then. I am not even positive that I wanted to let her go but I did.I am not saying that I want to go looking for the baby I gave away, but my decision was not whole hearted and that, still leaves a nagging feeling.I have felt incomplete eversince I started questioning my decision two years ago. My mom doesn't know about this and I dont want to worry her, that's why I try avoid any topic related to two years ago.My mom worr

I blink at them, letting their words sink in. They kissed. Colton and Mikayla kissed and - oh my gosh they kissed. This must mean one thing then, that they like each other but I never noticed." Skylar?" I snap out of my thoughts and look at Mk." Huh?"" You're too quiet, are you okay?" I glance between them and I see them both wear worried looks, as they stare back at me.'You're too quiet, speak up.' My consciousness says.But what do I say? - I answer my consciousness.Anything dummo, they've been waiting for you to say something." Would you like anything to drink?" I find myself asking Colton, who's brows shoot up in surprise." Uh yeah, sure. Water please." He awkwardly glances at Mk before nodding at me.I nod and leave the room.While I get a glass of w

"Mom, where did you -"" In your room, in your bedside drawer. I was looking for my charger because I couldn't find it and then I saw this. Why do you still have it Skylar?"" It's my business mom." I try snatch it out of her hand, but she keeps it out of reach." No, it's our business actually, because we both went through it together."" Mom, it's just a picture. Don't make it into something big, please." I sigh, rising to my feet." Skylar, is there something I should know?"" There's nothing. Now please can I have it back?" I hold out my hand." Why haven't you thrown it away or burnt it?"I frown." Why should I?" I can't help the words from spilling out of my mouth." To move on!" She takes a calming breath before starting again. " Haven't we talked about moving on and leaving things in the past

I waited impatiently, for the second time tonight for Reece Cullen to show up. This time, I'm the one who called and asked him to meet me.No, I dont want to talk about earlier but something else, I have a feeling that it's him who sent those pictures. I don't know why he did it and I want to find out the reason for trying to mess with me.I suspect that it's some form of retaliation against me, after what happened earlier and I will not allow him to mess with me." Skylar?" I snap out of my thoughts and turn around to face him.He's still in the same clothes from earlier, I don't know why I'm surprised by that." You actually called, I didn't think you ever would again."I march up to him. " You did it did you - Why would you even do that!" I shout, shoving him back." Woah - Skylar, what did I do?" He staggers back in surprise." You sen

You know, you weren't meant to find out like this?" He says along our walk." Is that your way of explaining it?" I ask." No, I think it's a start. Honestly, I don't know how to explain it." He sighs in what I can recognise as resignation.I pull to a stop and turn to face him." What was your intention behind what you did?"" I simply wanted a picture of you."" Why?"His ears seem to redden at the top. " Maybe because I think you are really beautiful."My own face flushes and I find myself blinking up at him." I know I sound like a creep when I say I really wanted a picture of you, but I did. "" Uh, I think we should sit down." I quickly say, walking past him to seat at one of those side walk benches." Look Skylar, I don't want you to see me as some weired -"" It's

I turn to face my mother, after a while since that man had left. I turn to face my mother when I'm reminded of the condition that man had put her under, with his attitude towards her." Are you okay mom?" I ask, more like speak up first between us since she's busy staring at the living room doorway.She snaps out of whatever thought she had been stuck in, turning to face me." I'm okay sweetheart." She says, offering a small smile but even that is hard to manage.She's still upset and she can't hide it. It's impossible." Mom, you're not. That man, Ethan -"" How do you know his name?" She gasps in surprise.I frown in confusion for her reaction." Uh he told me his name last night, remember you were here?"" Oh yeah, sorry. I forgot all about that."" Mom, are you sure that he is just a friend? "
