Saving Sanity

Chapter 39

Frank -->

Skylars POV

I sat on my bed, listening to music. I was beginning to become bored. I heard my phone ring a few minutes later. "Hey." The other end of the line said. "Hey Adam." I smiled, even though he couldn't see it. "You wanna go get some pizza right now?"

"Sure."

"I'll be there in a a half an hour, I'm coming back from visiting my aunt."

"Okay, see you soon." And I hung up.

About ten minutes later there was a knock at the door. Adam said a half an hour? It's only been ten minutes.. I was a bit confused so I opened the door to Adam. "Hey Adam, where's the pizza?" I asked without looking. I looked up and realized it wasn't Adam.

"Hey Sky.."

"Rylan?" I squeaked. Then I slammed the door shut. "What the fuck Rylan!" I screamed. "Skylar? That's you? I didn't think I'd actually find you." He said.

"Who told you where I was?!"

"Evan.."

"Fucking Bastard!" I muttered. I opened the door and he was there grinning guiltily. "What the fuck do you want Rylan?" His grin faded, as he knew I wasn't joking anymore. "Can't I just say hi?" I shook my head. "Not after trying to put me in a mental hospital." I growled. "I'm sorry about that.. I thought I was doing the right thing, I wanted to help you. Then Evan told me.."

"He told you what?! My life story? He doesn't know half of the things I saw. He left me after everything finally turned good. You putting me in the mental hospital got me here, thanks. Goodbye Rylan." I was going to slam the door but he stopped it, "Look Sky it took me a long time to realize it.. But I've liked you for so long. Not just as best friends. I wanted to be with you. Can that still happen?" He asked with hopeful eyes. "No, it can't, and I don't know if we are welcome to be just friends. I don't know if I can forgive you, just keep distance for a while Rylan." I said. His eyes turned sad and nodded. I tore my eyes away from him, I never liked seeing him sad. "Where are you staying?" He shrugged. "Come in," I told him, he sat on the couch. "Why exactly did you come here?" My voice sounded calmer.

"Evan told me everything that happened, I didn't know it was true. So I had to come see you and apologize, also I missed you a lot Sky." I smiled at some of the memories we had, we had a really fun history. "I know, I'm glad I ended up here anyway." He winced at my cold voice. "You know, I've liked you for a long time. Have you ever had feelings for me too?" I thought about it, I never had intimate feeling for him, he was like a best friend or a brother. "No, you were like my brother Ry." I told him, cringing. He nodded, "I get it.."

Then the door swung open. "Hey Sky! I got the pizza!" Adam called. Rylan tensed a bit and I was immediately happy. "Finally." I sighed. Adam stopped and looked at Rylan. "Hey, who's this?" He asked as he was grabbing a piece of pizza. "This is an old friend Rylan." I told him. "Hey I'm Adam." He shook his hand. "Rylan this is my.. Boyfriend, Adam." I said awkwardly. "Boyfriend?" I nodded. "Well.. Let's eat some pizza." I said through a moment of silence.

This was gonna be a long day.

*~*~*

I collapsed on the bed, I was too tired and lazy to do a damn thing. Adam got in a fight with his parents and they kicked him out. I let him stay in my apartment for the night. Rylan decided to stay in a hotel.

The next day Adam left and I got really bored, so instead of calling up Adam I called Frank. "Hey Frank."

"Skylar?"

"Yeah.. I was wondering if you aren't busy we can hang out a bit. I'm bored as fuck."

"Sure.."
