Behind closed doors

Chapter 5

*next morning*

"Skylar.... Sky.... Skylar!!!"
Opening my eyes, I came face to face with Lane. Who was sitting on my bed with the package of starbursts in his hands.
"Yes?" I asked but was interrupted by a yawn. I pulled the blankets off of me and going to the kitchenette getting our waters. I tossed Lane his and opened mine and started drinking it.
"What are we doing today?" asked Lane while shoving another starburst into his mouth.

"Well for one, we are getting some real food. I don't think I can live on starbursts and Funyuns everyday."
He nodded his head but continued to shovel the starbursts down his throat.
"And then we'll have some fun."
He smiled a huge grin as I started putting my stuff that I pulled out of my bag back in.
"Sky. What about mom? Where is she?"

Hearing him ask that caused my heart to ache in the most inhuman way possible. I blinked my eyes rapidly to prevent from crying.

"Well mom is letting us go on vacation for a while. How does that sound?" I asked as I prayed mentally that he'll just keep it at that without pushing me for more information. I let out a sigh of relief when he nodded his head.

I sent him a smile as I handed him his outfit from the only bag I brought.

"Wanna go shopping later for some new clothes?" I asked to change the subject. He nodded as he climbed off of my bed and headed to the bathroom with his clothes in hand.

After getting dressed, packing up what we had that we pulled, and piling into my vehicle, we headed on our journey again. What keeps running through my head is How am I supposed to find my 'father'? and What are we gonna do when we find him? If we find him?

We have been driving around for hours and the whole time I have been listening to Lane singing multiple songs that played on the radio. Currently Lane was singing- or shall I say more like screaming on the top of his lungs- Fireworks by Katy Perry. It was horrible but of course I couldn't tell him that. It'd be extremely rude so I went with the polite way of putting it and turning the radio off.

"Hey!!" Lane screamed crossing his arms over his chest letting out a loud huffing noise.

"Hey!!!" I screamed back "Look there's a shopping mall. Wanna get some things?"

His eyes lit up when he spotted the giant mall down the road. I drove into the parking lot and parked my vehicle right before Lane jumped out of the vehicle.

I grabbed Lane's hand even tho he kept trying to protest against me. We walked in and immediately headed to the food court.

"Can we please get Taco Bell?" Lane asked while jumping up and down, tugging on my arm. I nodded and smiled at his baby side of him. We walked over to the Taco Bell store and waited in line. We were 3rd in line but I busied myself by looking at which store to go to after we eat. Finally Lane pulled me up and it was our turn to order.

"We will get 2 chipotle ranch grillers and 2 Dr. peppers... Please?"

"Sure.... " the cash register guy said before adding under his breath "bitch"

"Excuse me? What did you just call me?" I asked appalled by this guys mouth. The man looked like he was in his early twenties, had messy brown hair and dark eyes. I could spot a tattoo sticking out of the neck of his shirt but i couldn't quite identify it.

"You heard me.." he retorted rolling his eyes. Wow this guy has no manners. I gripped Lane's hand and dragged him away from Taco Bell and headed to a different store for food. We ended up at a Carls Jr. getting our burgers and heading to a free table in the middle of the food court.

We sat there and ate our burgers in silents as my eyes roamed the stores in the distance until my eyes landed a certain person.

There in the distance stood the last man I was wanting to see.......

Dan.
