Can't live without you.

Chapter 2

I rolled over and hit a lump.
"Now who and the fuck is this in my bed" I whispered to myself as I got ready to beat this person like we was on jerry springer.

"Damn bitch, you couldn't stop moving" the voice said as Skylar got ready to punch her.

Skylar forgot that she went to sleep at her best friends house.

She got up and stretched before walking into the bathroom. After completing her morning routine she realized that she took all her clothes home.

"You can wear some of mine" skylars friend said as she walked into the bathroom

"Now you know damn well I'm built like a stick while you have all these curves" skylar replied as she got ready to just wear something from her friends moms closet.

"K can you drive me to school" skylar asked as she walked back into the room with a pair of black leggings and a green shirt.

"Yea, just give me 30 minutes to shower and get dressed" her friend replied as she turned on the shower.

Skylar just walked out of her room and went down the stairs, her friends parents were rarely home and when they were, they mostly just ignored the pair, until she messed up on something. Skylar started to think back on the first time she saw them yell at her friend.

"You just can't do anything right can you?" Her mom asked as she read over the note. K had gotten in trouble at school, it wasn't her fault but no one believed her. A boy had cut her hair so she punched him, he ended up falling down the stairs and breaking his arm. She didn't mean to make him break his arm but he was old enough to know not to mess with her.

"I WORK ALL DAY TO PROVIDE FOR YOU JUST FOR YOU TO GO TO SCHOOL AND BREAK KIDS ARMS, SO THAT I HAVE ANOTHER EXPENSE TO PAY FOR!!" her mother yelled as she threw the paper in K's face.

She didn't even have to pay for the broken arm, K just had to give the boy a 2 paged hand written apology and write his notes for him until his arm healed. She didn't see the big deal because she wrote fast and she knew that she could get the apology done in 45 minutes.

K's mom picked out a belt and beat her back, and arms till they were bloody. This wasn't the first time that she had gotten beaten like this, but this was the first time Skylar was there to see it.

Skylar rushed to K's side and tried to stop the beating. K's mom just signed and dumped a container of rice on the floor.

"Knell for the next hour" K's mom said as she dropped the belt on the counter and went up to her room.

"We can go to your brothers house if you want to get away" skylar said as she tried to help her friend up.

"It's no use" K said as she closed her eyes from the raw and burning sensation on her body.

K's mom moved her out of the private school. In order to save money and time they just started a homeschooling program for her. K is actually smart but she really did have to work hard to teach herself.

K was an oops baby and her family made sure that she knew it, her youngest sibling was 20 years older than her and had already left. K's parents were both 67 to be exact, they had her when they were 50 and everyday regretted it. Instead of enjoying their retirement and traveling the world, they were stuck at home taking care of a baby.

Skylar didn't have the perfect life, she is a triplet or was a triplet, her brother had died right in front of her when they were 12 and her parents were never the same again. Skooter was on her mind everyday, after all that was her twin, Malani was her triplet but they didn't have the same bond, hence why her name didn't start with a S.

Skylars parents favored Malani because she wasn't as troubled as Skylar, they knew that either Skylar or Skooter was going to die young, it was only a matter of time. Skylar and Skooter were involved with people from the neighborhood, they were social and made friends everywhere they went, whether they were good or bad it didn't matter. Malani on the other head was a introvert and mostly stayed around her parents, she didn't have many friends and the ones that she did have didn't care for her that much.

"You ready" k asked as she picked up her keys from the basket.

The two girls got in the car and were on the way to Skylars school.

Skylar arrived at school 1 hour late, she also forgot her book-bag at her house and needed to grab it before her 6th period class.

"Grab a pass and get to where you need to be" the receptionist said as she briefly looked up at Skylar.

Skylar began walking down the long hall to her 4th period class, she only had to get through half an hour before lunch. Now that she thought of it, she hadn't had breakfast and she was beginning to feel the hunger pains.

"Everyone open your MacBook and finish the google classroom assignment we started yesterday. And just a reminder, the finals test will be in 2 weeks so I would suggest that you start paying attention and studying." The petite history said, as he sat back down in his swivel chair.

"Mane I don't even want to do this shit" Skylar whispered to herself as she began to look at the 3 page essay she hadn't began and that was due by tomorrow.

Within that half hour Skaylar had finished half the page of work and figured that she would just finish it when she got home. She needed to get home but it was 1 hour drive, curtesy of the school being built damn near in the middle of nowhere.

Skylar walked outside to the main entrance and sat on one of the swings the school had recently cleaned. The school had money to spend and they made sure that the money went to useable things.

Pulling out her red iPhone 8+ that she bought herself Skylar dialed K's number and asked if she could come pick her up.

"Sorry babes but my parents are on the way and I have to look busy". K said as she pulled up a past assignment.

Skylar signed and hung up. This was the last person she would call but she really needed her MacBook and notes for this test.

"Hey mom, can you come get me from school?"

"Why do I need to get you?"

"I left my backpack and I need it for my test"

"This is what I'm talking about, you're so irresponsible. I pay this high tuition just for you to leave your things at home-"

"-but this is the first time in 2 yea-"

"-don't you cut me off when I'm speaking. See this is what I'm saying, you have no respect for me as your parent. You haven't been home for the past 3 days because of a small fucking argument and you just expect me to drop everything and help you."

"I just needed time to cool down"

"You said that you wish you wish I never had you. You don't know how fucking hard it was for me to be able to have children"

"I know what I said, but I need a ride."

"I don't know, I'm out shopping"

"Mmhmm but if it was Malani you would do it."

"Well we have the banquet coming up and I need to make sure we everything"

"Just for get it, I'll walk."

Skylar hung up the phone, and as she began to walk away she heard someone call out "hey shorty"

"What" she said as she took out her headphones

"I can give you a ride" the boy said as car started to pull into the school parking lot.

"How do I know you won't try to drug or rape me" she said as she started to walk away.

The boy only shook his head and got into the car, as Skaylar began to take her walk.
