Skylar's POV

"Can we talk?" My dad asked and honestly, I didn't care what he had to say.

"Sure, what could you possibly have to say to me that is sooo important anyway. It's not like you are going to parent me at all," I said clearly upset and over with the conversation before it even really began. They didn't seem to catch onto that though.

I have never been close to my parents, all I know is they have been fighting for as long as I could remember, while simultaneously not paying attention to me and Reggie. He always use to tell me there was a time when they got along and actually loved each other, but I can't imagine them ever being civil.

"Honey, we need to have this conversation. I know you don't want to deal with us, but it's necessary so can you please come sit?" My dad said, trying to continue the conversation. They weren't giving me much of a choice, and I just wanted to get whatever this was over with, so I sat down across from my parents at the table.

"Sky..." my mom began once again. "I said don't call me that." I interrupted again this time, more irritated.

"Sorry," she continued, "Well your father and I have been talking a lot..." I rolled my eyes because they never talk and only argue. "And we think it time for us to get a divorce. It's not your fault, it's just we don't work." Before I give either of them a chance to talk more, I stand up.

"Ok? It's not like I should be surprised or anything, you guys fight nonstop and I'm not stupid. Why do you think I'm always with the band, and at the studio?" I give them a chance to answer but honestly I think they were surprised that I didn't care. Neither of them said a word so I continued, "It's because I can't stand you two fighting, and neither could Reggie. At least now he doesn't have to listen to you guys fight anymore." As I saw their faces go blank, my heart dropped, but they didn't know me, or Reggie. They never cared enough to try with us, so why should they be surprised when I didn't care about the divorce.

I walked into my bedroom grabbed a backpack and filled it with stuff I needed. I made sure I grabbed Luke's hoodies that I had, other clothes, my songwriting notebook, some of Reggie's stuff and headed out of the house. I didn't say goodbye to either of my parents, I just left them a note.

Hey, I leaving for now. You don't have to worry I will be fine for a couple weeks. If I'm gone for that long. Don't come and try to find me I just don't want to be around anyone right now.

I knew they weren't going to come and look for me. They had their own problems to get through and so did I. I just wanted some time to think. I thought I was fine and was going to get through this but now, I don't know. What if it never gets better? What if this pain I feel whenever I think of them never dulls?

The first place I went was the studio. I didn't want to stay there because all it did was remind me of the boys, but it was my only choice at the moment. Where else was I supposed to go?

When I got there it was just how I left it when I stormed out this morning. Keyboard knocked over and sheet music scattered over the floor. It looked messier then when the guy were practicing but not terrible.

Everything hurt. Their guitars, Alex's drums, Luke's backpack filled with clothes, but most of all knowing that Bobby was somewhere out there, living out our dream. Sunset Curve's dream. How could he do that to us? Take everything from me and the guys and acting like it's no big deal. It's like he doesn't even care that they're gone and never coming back. Because that was the truth. I was never going to see them and the pain was seeming to be endless.
