Family Ties

Chapter Two: Grand reveal

Skylars POV

I ride home with Coach as we comes back from dropping Donavon off at home, I'm staying with Coach tonight since it doesn't seem right to sleep in my home

"Do you have anyone that would take you Sky" Coach says as he looks at me then back to the road

"Not really, my moms family abandoned her after she got pregnant with me" I say sadly

"Well what about your father" Coach says tenderly, knowing my father a bit of a sore subject

"He has his own family Coach, I'm not gonna come in that house expecting a warm welcome from anyone" I say rolling my eyes

"Well you heard the social worker, I can't keep you for long and with your mothers death and your father's absence....you could end up in foster care" Coach says as we pull u to his house

"Look I know your father left you guys to be with his wife but you have to go to him, it's a bittersweet moment but you have to if you wanna live your life freely, I don't like talking about this but you have to leave to his house tomorrow" Coach says as tears well up in my eyes

I look over to him sadly as I nod and he hugs me, we stay like that for a bit till we pull away and I wipe my face

"Fine.....I'll go see the bastard but.....as far as I know your my father not him" I say confidently causes Coach to nod

We get out for the car and get my stuff from the trunk and head in, I wish Coach a goodnight before heading to his guest room and stripping off my tight athletic shirt and my football pants before crashing on the bed

I start to cry and weep as I recall all the pain and the lost feeling in my chest as I think fo my mother, before I know it I'm knocked out, not fully prepared for tomorrow

I wake up to my alarm and look at my phone and see it's 12:30, I sigh and rub my eyes as I sit up and stretch

"Morning champ, you ready to head out to your new beginning" Coach says as he comes up to the door

"As ready as I'll ever be, let me get dressed so I can see the bastard" I say causing Coach to laugh and smile

I shake my head and put on some black sweats and a matching hoodie as I get my bag full of football gear but I'm soon stopped once Coach comes back into the room

"Woah woah, leave the football stuff" he says making me stop

"Why" I say confused

"Because of your father takes you which he has too.......you'll be going to Beverly so that means those pads and pants belong to me but you can keep the jersey" Coach says

"Wait what, I can't go to south Hampton anymore" I say causing Coach to nod

"Yea it's out of district" Coach says sadly as he looks down

"Well what would happen to my home if I move in with Coach Dad" I say sarcastically

"Well it would be put on the market by the owner, I'm sorry Sky but every is changing" Coach says causing me to sigh heavily

I take out the things that the school provided and take my jersey, I looks at it for a moment as I remember that my mom wore this number when she played soccer and ran track and it happens to be my birth date.......Number 8

I smile sadly and put it in my bag and walk out with Coach as he puts his hand on my back and we walk out to the car

We drive over to my old house and pack up my things and I take every picture I could find and pack my bags, I get my clothes and shoes along with my moms favorite sweater along with money she saved up
