The estranged family

Chapter 22-The journal

"Yesterday my father and I got into fight because he told me information about your mother" Tyler said

"What is it?" I asked

"He paid Lizzie to disappear from my life, to not tell me about the pregnancy" he said

"What" I replied in shock

"Why would he do that?" I asked

"Because I was a teenager going to take over my father's business. He didn't want any distractions" he said

"So he sent my mother away, does he even know how much shit I went through. Also why would my mother take it?" I asked in pure anger

If my mom didn't leave I could have had a proper family, a proper dad in my life.

"I don't know why she took it" he said

I got up and remember that I had my mother's journal. I ran out of the room and up the stairs. I never read it because I couldn't bear through more pain. I always kept it hidden from Lucas. Tyler was running right behind me, calling for my name

I go to my room and into the closet with the boxes.

I opened the first one and it didn't have it

"What are you looking for?" Tyler asked

I go through the second box, her journal wasn't in this box either

"Skylar, what are you looking for?" He asked again

"Her journal" I said

I opened the last box, I looked through it to find it at the bottom.

I grabbed it and stared at it, not being able to open it just yet. The sides were tearing away, honestly the whole book is ready to fall apart.

I let out a shaky breath, not knowing if I want to know more about why she left.

"It's okay, you don't have to read it" Tyler said

I need to though, need to find out why she left

"Can I be left alone for this" I asked

"Sure" he replied

He left the room and I sat on my closet floor.

I slowly opened the journal.

Journal entry 1:

I just found out I was pregnant. I don't know what  to do? Im excited but also very, very nervous. I'm so young, I haven't even finished highschool yet. We're both in highschool and we're so young. Tyler is only 18 still. I'm fucking pregnant. I took 4 pregnancy test and all of them are positive.

I don't know what to do

I flipped to the second page

Journal entry 2:
I told my parents I was pregnant and they were mad. They said I'm ruining my career and I needed to get rid of the baby. I didn't want to get rid of the baby, I was going to have Tyler there for me, we were gonna raise it together. The kicked me out of the house saying if I don't get rid of it I'm not allowed back, so I left.

Journal 3:

I went over to Tyler's house, ready to tell him. I had the pregnancy test in my hand, I was excited to tell him but very nervous to see how he would react. What if he didn't want a baby? What if he didn't want to be a father?

Before I could get to him, his father saw me with the pregnancy test. He offered me 500,000 dollars to disappear and start all over again. He told me the baby would get in the way of Tyler's life and it will ruin his career. He also told me Tyler wouldn't want to keep it, would want me to get an abortion. So I took the 500k, putting half of it into a trust fund for my kid when they are older and the other half to start a new life.

If no one wants to be there for me, I don't need them then.

I don't need my parents

I don't need Tyler either

Journal 4:

I packed my things and left after New Years. I didn't tell anyone anything. It was really hard. My family didn't want anything to do with me and Tyler didn't want a baby either at this age.

I took the skateboard, and the necklace he gave me. I will never forget Tyler, I will always remember him because he's the baby's daddy. I will love this baby and will cherish it forever.

It's just you and me little one

I closed the journal, I couldn't read anymore without sobbing even more.

I have never felt more hatred to one person

Tyler's father

If he never paid my mom and told her lies I would have a proper family.

I wish my mother didn't take the money but I understand why. He gave her a lot and she thought Tyler wouldn't want the kid but she should have tried harder.

Her journal was filled but I couldn't keep reading it, it's too much for me.

I wipe the tears and get off the floor. I go downstairs to Tyler's office

"What did it say?" Tyler asked

"Her parents kicked her out because she was pregnant. When she found out she went to your house but she saw your dad first and he told her that you didn't want a baby, it would ruin your life, and he paid her five hundred thousand dollars to disappear" I said

"What?" Tyler said in shock

"You can read it for yourself" I said putting the book down

I walked out of his office and headed up the stairs

"Skylar" Tyler called out

"What" I said

"Whatever my father said to your mom is lie. I didn't know your mom was pregnant and either if I did I would have taken care of her, be there throughout her pregnancy and after. If I found out I would have been there for you and her, we would have been a family" he said

"Tell your father that" I said

I went up the stairs and into my room, I grabbed my skateboard and went back downstairs. I went in the backyard and started skateboarding. A lot of the backyard was grass so I snuck outside the gate, and none of the guards noticed.

I wasn't planning to leave the gated community, just the house.

I skateboarded throughout the whole community which is a lot bigger than I expected. There was a park which I would going there a lot.

It was getting dark and I kind of got lost trying to find my way back. I have my phone but I don't remember the address.

Oh shit

I'm screwed
