Sleeping with Sirens

Chapter 5

Ky just had to brag about all she'd seen when she went "searching". I don't mind hearing her talk though, but "searching''?

Could she have picked a more dramatic name to call running away?

Kyra is the best friend...only friend I've ever had.

She left for about six week, so I'd been feeling alone.

By myself, I'm fine really, but its just something about Ky, like we're family. Like blood.

"I missed you babe." She told me. "I missed you too Ky," I started.

I looked down at gravel and sighed. "I'm going to apply for emancipation," I blurted.

Her expression was enough for me to keep going. She has a way of talking me out of things.

"I can't live with Penelope anymore Kyra! I just can't okay?!"

Then my vision blurred with salty drops, tears of pain descending from my cheeks.

Kyra scooted closer to me, and place her hand on my chin.

She ever so slightly pulled up so we were looking eye to eye.

"Soon you won't have to, I promise," she started in a hushed tone, "everything will be okay, and we will be okay, together."

I didn't understand, but Ky was all I had left to believe in ...to trust in. She was all I knew.

She protected me in all kinds of ways.

I just looked at her blurred self and forced a fake smile, "okay." I said huffily. I was still short of breath.

Knowing Ky, it felt like she had a plan, I wasn't sure what either, but I was ready to do anything to be free, finally free.

We sat for a moment, Kyra held my hand and sang to me. She was a beautiful singer, and anytime I was panicking or unsettled she would sing to me and I would feel better, and happier.

She insists my voice is equally as beautiful but I only sing in the shower, and sometimes if my headphones are on an no one is around.

Though, it's hard to believe your voice is pretty when your foster parent tells you otherwise.

I told Ky about Jake and our date. She was completely against it, but I couldn't understand why. "No, you can't do that." She stated firmly toned. "Why not? I don't see the harm in it," and I didn't, why couldn't she just be happy for me?

"He's bad news okay? Look, Zoe I love you, and if your smart, you'll ditch the lunch date okay?" Kinda harsh ky..

All kinds of doubt flushed into my head. Maybe she was right, and he's only playing me, I couldn't get a guy like him..not me, not poor pathetic Zoe Collins."
