Flashback

"I want you out of this house now." Skylar's mother yelled at her making Skylar instantly tear up.

She ran upstairs and filled everything she might need for a few days in a backpack and ran back down stairs. She went out the door never making eye contact with her mom. She instantly started running having no idea where too. She finally picked up her phone and dialed Thebe's number after realizing she was lost.

"Sky what are you doing calling me this late at night?" Thebe questioned with a raspy voice indicating he just woke up.

Skylar checked the time on her watch and sobbed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know what time it was. I'll call back tomorrow." Skylar said letting out sobs in each sentence.

She was about to hang up when she heard Thebe protest on the other side of the line.

"No no. Don't. Why are you crying? What's wrong? Where are you?" Thebe asked suddenly concerned with questions to why she was crying.

His heart ached hearing or watching her cry.

"Umm I don't know. Glendora street. It's near a park somewhere." Skylar said sobbing once again looking around her surroundings.

Thebe didn't say anything else but hang up and was there in just a few minutes. He saw Skylar sitting there on the curb with her hands in her face and a backpack slung over her shoulder. Thebe got out of his car not even caring to shut his door or grab his keys and ran to Skylar. He lifted her up to her feet slowly and hugged her for the longest time. She didn't even have to look up to know it was him, instead she laid her head on his chest and let out sobs while Thebe stroked her hair, trying to calm her down.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I got you now."

Skylar woke up and sighed. Her and Thebe didn't go to sleep till 3 in the morning. She stayed sitting on her bed trying to function then checked the time. It read 1pm. She sighed and got up.

She hated when she woke in the afternoon she felt like as if she woke up in the afternoon she might as well sleep all day.

She went into the restroom and brushed her teeth then decided to take a shower. She showered letting all the tiredness wash away. She stepped out and went back into her bedroom getting ready for the day. She suddenly slapped her forehead with her hand and sighed. She completely forgot she promised Hodgy she was gonna hang out with him and Trenton today. She immediately got her phone and saw that Hodgy called her 2 times which was an hour ago. She called him back and sat on her bed still just wrapped in just a towel. It rang for a few seconds and while she was waiting, hoping that he would answer, Thebe walked in.

He slowly crept into the room and rubbed his eyes, clearly indicating he just woke up. He looked over at Skylar and saw that she was on the phone so he decided not to say anything just yet.

She looked at Thebe and smiled making him smile back.

Finally the ringing stopped and Hodgy answered.

"Hey." Skylar said a little too fast. She was just worried that maybe Hodgy would think she canceled on him.

"Hey." He said back on the other line.

"Where are you?"

"At the park with Trenton."

"Hey listen I'm sorry I over slept and shit and I just saw your calls now."
