Their Second Chance- Discontinued

3

"I like your hair," Renesmee said, making me look over at her as everyone else sat down. I smiled at her. "Thanks," I said. She smiled at me as everyone slowly filled their plates with food. I helped both Renesmee and Hope. "Thanks." They both said once I was done helping them. 

I smiled at them both before I filled my plate. "So, Skylar. What school do you go to?" Davina asked me. "I go to a school a few blocks away from here. So it's easy for me to get there and here. I've been there for... I think two maybe a year." I answered before I took a sip of some water. 

"So, you're a high schooler," Bella said. "Yes, but according to every single teacher that I have either in the past or now saw that I should've been out of school a long time ago," I said. "Ever since Skylar was...I think at least in fifth or sixth grade, staff has told me that Skylar should be taken out of the school systems that she was and is in and be put into a gifted school." Dad said making me look at him. 

I put my glass down on the table. "I have no clue where she got it, but she's gifted and has been from a very young age. Even now with the school that she is in, she doesn't even go every day of the week like a normal person that goes to that school." Dad added. 

I looked back over at him. Almost embarrassed that he brought that up. "I mean, even on the days that she does go to school.....she barely does anything. One day, while our English teachers were talking about a book that we reading.....I looked over at Skylar to see that she wasn't even listening. She was listening to music and drawing in a sketchbook. I looked at the teacher to see that she saw what Skylar was doing, but she didn't even care." Will said making me look at him. 

"The same thing during Science. The teacher was teaching us about one of the hardest lessons, Skylar was drawing, listening to music, not worrying about the world around her. That Friday when she was at school, there was a test.....she somehow got it all right, without listening and studying a single thing that we were taught." Zac said. I looked at him with a glare before I picked up my fork and started to eat. 

"Not my fault the school system is semi-boring," I said once I swallowed the food that was in my mouth. I looked up at the two of them to see that they were smiling at me. "No joke. I have no clue where Skylar got her gifted side from. I know it was not me, definitely not her mom." Dad said making me look over at him. 

He barely ever talks about my mom to clients. Why is he talking about her now? Does he know that some of these people are my mates? "Where is she? If I am." Niklaus asked. I looked at him before I looked at my dad. 

"She's not here and she never will be," Dad said before he took a bite of his food. I looked over at Niklaus to see that he was looking at me. I looked away. I started to fill my mouth with food, not wanting to tell them what my dad should tell them. Sure they are my mates, but they are my dad's clients. 

"I'm sorry if I crossed the line. I was just curious." Niklaus said as I swallowed my food. I looked over at my dad. "When I was sixteen, I had met my mate. I thought she was the best thing in the whole world." Dad said. He looked over at me. "But the night we finished the bond.....everything change." He said. I gave him a small smile before I looked away from him. 

"A few days later, I turned seventeen. That same day, my mate found out she was pregnant. After nine months, Skylar was born. My mate ended up leaving me with Sky. I had no clue what to do. But then I met James Bates, Robin Williams, and Walter Grey. My three best friends helped me through law school. They helped me take care of Skylar when I had no clue what I was doing. Then after a little while, I met their mates and their kids. Who just happened to be the same age as Skylar. Our small family grew." Dad said. 

I looked back over at him. "We haven't left each other since then. We always stuck together, no matter how hard things got," he added. He looked at me with a small smile.
