One More Chance
Chapter
14:
I hold my breath, clutching my phone tightly.
This answer is crucial to my life, my love, my everything.
"Is this some kind of sick joke?" Skylar sneers
unsympatheticlly.
I start crying now, heavy sobs filling into the muffled
reciever.
Skylar's tone of voice changes.
"Linny, what's wrong?"
I continue crying, forcing myself to breath.
" I need to get out of here." I cry loudly.
"Please." I beg.
"Please just help me."
"Okay, okay." She answers.
"Just for a while though."
"Yes!" I reasurred her.
"Yes, I just need to get my head wrapped around a few
things."
The line goes dead, and I pack my bags and leave, not
bothering to say goodbye to Mom or Mohony.
When I get to Skylar's house, she opens the door and
lets me inside with a welcomeing gesture.
We go up to her room and I put my bags on the floor,
practically collapsing from the impact.
"Linda." She speaks, closing the door.
"Yes?" I ask casually.
She pauses, biting the edge of her lip.
"I'm sorry."
I stare back at her, not sure of what to say.
I stand still for a minute, taking in everything.
"Why did you do all of that stuff to me?"
I finally ask.
"It wasn't your fault." She answers.
"I was...jealous of you."
"Jealous?" I ask.
"Of me?!?"
How could she possibly be jealous of me?
She is gorgeous beyond compare, and lives in a mansion as an only
child.
No siblings to bug her.
Or ruin her whole entire life before her very eyes.
"My parent's have been gone." She says.
"What?" I ask, a little confused.
"They went on vacation in the Bahamas." She
whispers.
"And they never came back."
"Skylar!" I respond quickly.
"You need to tell somebody, you can't live here
alone!"
"Oh, I don't." She retorts.
"My parents send people to look after me."
She dosen't cry, just looks at me sadly, almost
like a lost puppy dog.
I forget everything horrible that she's done to me these
past years.
I just need to focus on helping her.
"They just abandoned me." She says, slowly sitting on
the edge of her bed.
"They never call me, or talk to me. They don't even love
me."
I walk to sit beside her, hugging her tightly.
"I love them so much." she whines into my
shoulder.
" So much that it hurts."
"I know." I say.
"I understand. That's why I had to leave. I love this
boy, but my Mom won't let us be together, so I had to
leave."
She stares at me now, her emerald green
eyes blazing.
"Will you come back into my life?" she asks.
"Skylar. I never left in the first place."
