finally i was home at toms place.our dad was arrested and put into a prison since we couldn't afford a court. hes in their for life.his life may be gone but i finally get my life back.
i was currently walking Jake to school. as my crutches moved i noticed Jake looking at the ground, sad. "whats wrong, bud?""well..." he began while thinking hard."everyone else has a nice mum and dad but our mums gone and dad was well dad."
i couldn't help but feel my heart shatter.this little boy deserved so much more than i could give him. we stopped walking and i put my crutches on the floor. as i sat down i put his head to my chest.
just holding his small body there."you may not have as much as others but you will always have me okay Jake?" i tried reassuring him that everything will be okay but for the first time even he was doubting me.
when we reached his primary school i explained the situation of him being early (cause i need to get to college). his teachers gave us sympathetic looks but what else could they do?
the sympathetic looks didn't last however because when i got back to college their were even bigger glares through the corridor. why couldn't it stop.i honestly couldn't of cared less about being a misfit it was the fact that i was constantly judged.
so what. its no ones business. all i want to do is be able to make money to provide for Jake. this meant listening to get qualifications meant hard work.that meant not getting distracted by glares.
i put my headphones in and held my head low while making it to classes. its going to be a long day...
....time skip to end of school....
i called tom asking him to pick me up and take me to our local costs coffee. it was where i got a job. i work till 9 at night earning minimum wage but as long as it puts food on the table it'll work.
"Skye can i ask you something?" tom spoke just before he went to pick up Jake." what tom?". he looked me directly in the eye and said with confidence "why don't you become a youtuber like me?"
i couldn't think of an answer so tom just walked away to his bike smirking.he knew he was right.there were no cons whatsoever.
it payed well
i was free to look after Jake
tom could help me get famous
its basically having fun
i could even make some friends.
so that what i did. tom came and picked me up at nine.we thought of the name Skye's goodbye.for me this meant a lot more than a catchy name.it was my good bye from the kids at college. it was a good bye to the grieving about my parents. it was a good bye to all the late school runs.
but most of all it was a hello to life.
