Chapter 13: "You Should Lock Your Locker"

Skylar Emerson

The next morning I woke to find an empty bed again.

He left

Oh

I got up and went to the bathroom to start my day. Honestly I wasn't feeling the best of me today but you gotta carry one anyways.

Three weeks went by such drama and I wasn't really happy about it. Beth and harry got into a huge fight, Ryan managed to get himself laid, my brother Noah moved out to live with his fiance Natalie, Jake is still having a huge crush on Mr peter, Hannah once in a while insulted me to which I may or may not have been upset, Gustin kept trying his luck with me then finally gave up.

And Niall. Well, he was the same, kept ignoring me and then sneaked up at my window at nights and we might have kissed a little.

More importantly, tonight was the Bonfire.

I got downstairs wishing mom a happy 26th anniversary. Dad was supposed to come home today but he had to cancel his plans for some business meeting.

Typical.

It has been four goddamn years since I've seen him other than on Skype. Apparently his business is more important than family to him. I hated that.

I missed my father.

I went to my dad's library. Every year in such occasions I take a few books from his collection and read it. He loved reading and this habit probably transferred to me. I took the one from the shelf and went upstairs and packed my bag and to get ready.

"Bye, mom!" I told as I ran down the stairs.

I drove off to school and went to my locker. I put my dad's book in the locker and picked the books for my class.

I was walking up the stairs when Niall came running up beside me, walking up the stairs with me.
