skylers pov:
"Why are there cuts on your arm?"
~"I-It's from when I-I got jumped duh" I stuttered Ethan was still holding my wrist tight. My nose scrunched up from the pain. Seeing I was in pain he loosened his grip but he still held on. He looked closer at my arm. "Some of these cuts are old"
~"No they just uh they just healed fast" I didn't know what else to say but cmon who would believe that. "Do you really think I'm stupid!" He started raising his voice. He was scaring me, what if he hurt me like my dad. No he wouldn't do that, yet neither would a dad.

~"N-no" my words came out squeaky. "Don't lie to me skyler!" I couldn't tell him the truth I just couldn't
~"I-I don't know what they're from, it must just be some cuts I got from soccer" his face softened, he knew I was lying but I guess he realized I wasn't budging so he dropped it. He finally let go of my wrist and just walked to the door. Once he unlocked the door he just walked inside without saying anything. Great he's mad. I walked inside and closed the door. there was a loud slam which caused me to flinch but it was only the sound of Ethan slamming his bedroom door upstairs. I didn't want to lie to Ethan but it's better this way. He shouldn't have to worry about me. I don't even know why he's stuck around for so long. The house was so quiet, so I just sat on the couch and went on my phone. After a while I checked my phone to see that is was 4pm, Lisa should be home soon.

~time skip~

The door opens and Lisa comes in"Oh hi sweetie, Ethan told me everything, I'm so sorry and you can stay for however long you'd like" She welcomed me with a smile
~"thank you Lisa" While Lisa was making dinner I just sat on my phone. "Kids dinners ready!" Lisa yelled from the kitchen. I guess Grayson was here the whole time because he came rushing down the stairs. "Ay what's up Skyler!" He yelled with a smile on his face.

~ "Nothing much" I said with a small smile. Grayson, Lisa, and I all sat down at the table and waited for Ethan but he never came, so we just started eating without him. Lisa apologized for his behavior and I said it was ok. "I don't know what's gotten into him" Grayson said. Even though I knew why he was acting like this I didn't say anything. After dinner I asked Lisa if I could take a shower, so she got me all the stuff I needed and told me to use the shower upstairs. Aka the twins bathroom.

I still haven't heard anything from Ethan so I figured he wouldn't mind if I took a shower. Hopefully the twins didn't have to pee because I take lonngggg showers. I mentally laugh as I get in the shower thinking about how I'll take my sweet time. After about 30 minutes there was banging on the shower which startled me, causing me to cut myself with the razor as I was shaving. "Hurry I need to pee!" A manly voice yelled out but I couldn't decipher who it was because of the loudness of the shower.

~"I'll be right out!" I yelled. I turned off the water and ringed my hair and stepped out of the shower. I forgot to bring clothes in here to change so I would just have to wear a towel till I found my clothes. There was another bang on the door

~ "Hold on!" The towel hung loosely around my chest with my wet hair down my back as I unlocked the door. I opened the door to reveal a wide eye Ethan. I didn't understand why his eyes were eyed until I realized he was looking me up and down.

~"U-um I-I, e-excuse me" I stuttered as I looked down. Damn it skyler why tf are you stuttering. Oh no I felt my cheeks get hot. I had to leave before he noticed. I looked up to see him biting his lip. TF! What is he doing! With out saying anything I just ran out and into the guest room I would be staying in.
