His sunflower

Chapter 29

Skylar's POV

Fuck my life!

I obviously overslept for the third time this week so you can guess that I was late for my classes. It wasn't that cold today so all that snow was now melted, and the streets were covered in mud, which of course I had to fall into. Long story short, I was running and didn't notice a man. I bumped into him, bounced off and fell into the mud.

A wonderful start off the day, isn't it?

Being dirty all over, I went to my uni and on the way to class I met Chloe. She wouldn't be herself if she didn't comment on how I looked and I think you can all imagine that those weren't nice comments. Flynn also had to laugh at me a bit but then lent me a t-shirt he was supposed to wear for the gym but I changed his plans, I guess.

"God, you're so clumsy, I swear." He said, still chuckling a little.

I furrowed my eyebrows and gave him 'don't mess with me look'.

"If you were late for your classes, you would be in a rush too."

"Nah, I would simply go to a second class." He gave me a victorious smile and I sticked out my tongue.

Yes. Very mature of me, I know.

I haven't seen Jacob since...it seems like forever. I sent him a message yesterday but he didn't reply. While I was walking, my mum called me. I feel really bad that I've neglected my parents recently, but if I don't have so many things to learn, I'm with Ace, and when I'm with him, I completely forget about the entire world. It's like, he is the only person that is in my mind.

I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing. Some of you could say that it's an obsession but...is it? No, I doubt it is. It's normal when you love someone, you want to be with them and spend as much time as possible with that one person. If someone is in love with you, they trust you. They want you to be the best version of yourself and only want good things for you. Ace is really trying to be better for me even though he doesn't have to, because he's perfect.

Of course, he wasn't an easy person to be around with at the very beginning. He was very reserved and mysterious, not to mention about all those scary, confidential and shady things he was involved in (and he still is but I hope it will change soon) but he's changed. Normally, I would feel guilty that he is trying to change himself that much for me, but I can tell that he seems more happy now. Others can see that too. And nothing can be better than knowing that the person you love is happy because of you.

I don't know how I can give him so much happiness though when my whole life all I have given people is sadness. Or the sense of failure, when It comes to my parents for example. I've always been not clever enough, not beautiful enough, not funny enough, simply not good enough. But I think Ace noticed something in me that no one ever could. Not even me. I'm changing because of him too. I don't have all those bad thoughts that much, I don't hate my life that much like I used to, there are more days that I want actually get up in the morning because I know that I'll meet him.

I am happy.

Finally, I've reached my flat. Just when I put the grocery bags on the kitchen counter, Laura left her room. She looked less cheerful as always.

"Hey" I smiled at her.

"Hi. Mm you've bought something to eat, I see." She asked in a clearly better mood and put her hands into the bags.

"Someone here must stock the fridge in this flat." I giggled and turned around to put things in the cupboard.

She was suspeciously quiet today. It's not like her. Maybe she and Marco had a fight? When I finished in the kitchen, I went to the living room where she was sitting. I sat beside her on the couch and hit her playfully with my elbow.
