And Always.

Chapter 21

(It'll Be Okay By Shawn Mendes)

Sapnap's Pov

I knocked on the light blue door of the white house. I don't know why she wanted it to stand out, but she did. The light blue shutters to match the door. The sun was setting, and the house was quiet. The door swung open, and I let out a breath.

"How was your drive?" I asked as Skylar stepped to the side, letting me into her house. Ender quickly greeted me, then went back to laying in his bed.

He was fully grown into his size, and almost was as tall as Skylar, even when he was still on his four legs. Bolt didn't come out to greet me, so I assumed she was asleep somewhere in the house.

The vinyals ran along the wall, and guitars hung up, pictures. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a can of soda. Dream hasn't gone food shopping yet. I rolled my eyes at the thought.

"The drive was good. Thanks for the gas." She spoke loud enough for me to hear her from the couch.

I walked into the living room, and she was sitting on the couch crisscrossed, her glasses on her face, her hair in a bun, wearing one of Ranboo's hoodies, and Harley's sweatpants. I sat down on the couch next to her, feeling the tension build as she typed away on her computer.

"Where is Ranboo?" I asked, breaking the ice, and noticing that his presence was not in the room with her.

"Staying over at his parents with Belle and Techno. He was helping them move their stuff.

Skylar bit the inside of her cheek, not looking up from the computer. I looked down at her engagement ring, and I closed my eyes.

"Did something happen between you two?" Her typing seemed to slow, but she never once stopped.

"He just needs his sister right now. Everything exploded, it's not easy to deal with." The silence engulfed the room, before she closed her computer, and looked up at the TV that was on.

"I hate TMZ." I spoke, and she laughed.

"I know you do, but it gives me so much drama." She said and I laughed now, as she turned her head to face me.

"I'm sorry." She spoke, and I shook my head.

"You don't have to apologize. I should've talked to you about everything. I should've known that I wasn't alone."

"I should've told you that you weren't alone. It's not all on you." After Harley left, Skylar read the letter she left for her and Ranboo, and Skylar completely shut down. She never talked to anyone about it, and she went radio silent about Harley.

When Skylar got engaged, she was more vocal about Harley. She talked about her, and how she couldn't wait for her to come back.

"I don't hate you." She spoke, and I felt a weight be lifted off of my chest.

"I know." She laid her head on my shoulder, and I knew tears were falling down her face.

"I went and I tried to see her. There were so many people, and I knew I wasn't going to be able to. I knew I wasn't going to even get close enough to say hello." She picked her head up and looked at me.

"I miss her and I was so mad at you for breaking things off, because I missed her. I was projecting my feelings onto you, instead of telling you about it. She is the love of your life, and she is one of my best friends." I listened to Skylar talk, because I know that's what she wanted to do. She wanted me to listen.
