he took me away [Matt sturniolo]

pov: Skyler

it's been two weeks since my new album has came out. I've gotten so much love and support from it.

A lot of my songs have been going viral on TikTok new people are discovering me almost like every day it feels like not trying to brag

right now I'm in my best friend's apartment that we share. It's mainly hers more than it is mine because I'm usually always at the triplets house. They're like my second family.

honestly, my only family because my own blood doesn't even want me. My parents got divorced whenever I was 5 my father running away from my mother and living in a whole Nother state far away never hear from him my mother on the other hand she's gone she's not even my mother just a empty soul.

my father and Jimmy Sturniolo were pretty close friends before my parents got divorced. so every time when one of them would have a barbecue, they would invite the others family over that's where I meant the triplets

and ever since then we've been insufferable

The one person that I am extremely thankful for is MaryLou I am extremely thankful for her because she took me underneath her wing one night when I was 9 I went into my mom's room and found her limped on the floor. I ran to the the drawer in the kitchen, where the sturniolo family Jimmy and MaryLou's number was, I called MaryLou crying, telling her my mom was asleep and wouldn't wake up she comforted me on the phone as she drove to my house and called 911

and since that day, she's never let me step back foot into the house with my mother. She treated me like her own daughter that she never had.

there's only a handful of people that know this story

unknown: come outside

me: who is this?

unknown: you'll find out

*present time*

I lay down on the bed, trying to figure out if someone's trying to play a prank on me, but curiosity did kill the cat

I get off the bed during my hair into a messy bun and sliding my slippers on

A part of me is telling myself to not go outside what if there's a mask murderer that's trying to kill me or a weird stalker, but I shrunk it off and I opened up the door to the apartment. I look around not seeing anybody.

:me: are you trying to pull a prank on me? I don't see nobody.

unknown: come down the stairs and you'll see

*present time*

I hesitate before I close the door behind me sink since the sun is out and there's people around nothing wrong could happen. I walked down the stairs, seeing a familiar body as my foot hits the last step.

" holy shit-" are the only words that I can escape past my lips as I freeze

" surprise" the familiar voice comes closer reaching out for a hug

" Mason what the fuck are you doing here "I take a step back his arms drop down to his side. He makes a frown.

" i'm back wanted to tell my favorite girl I've changed. I promise I've gotten help." he says taking a step closer to me.
