~Skyler~

I can't believe after ten years that my brother is still alive. part of me is happy but still want answers. like ten years is a long time expecially if I missed him. It always bother me that mom didn't invite his friends or family members to the funeral. only dad and a group of his friends and, there kids. Wait does that mean she knows? does dad know? nawww, he left us after one week passed from the funeral, and never contact us again.

You guys are probably thinking, how the heck do I know that was my brother after this many years? well yeah I was thinking that too, especially since he got tattoos now. but thanks to dad where ever he's at giving us these necklaces, I was able to tell. both are necklaces with gold but mine had a S and his was a C, but both had the little haitan colors in between them. my filling out the S, and his the C.

And I can't believe uncle Joe knew this whole time.

"Yo Sky?" I looked at Tyrell who I for got was there.

"Hmmm."

"You aight?" he asked.

"Yeah." I replied. after I said that it got very quiet, which made me uncomfortable under his stare.

"I-is there something on my face?" I broke the silence, biting my bottom lip. a smirk crossed over his face as he lean in a bit, his gaze never leaving mines.

"This whole good girl act is a fake huh?" one of his brows went up, and for some reason I couldn't help but think that was cute. it suited his whole look. his draids in a pony tail, his Carmel skin tone, pierced ears, and his smile was everything.

"Take a picture. it'll last you longer." he says smiling.

"Huh?" I said, lost in my own thoughts for a sec.

He chuckled a bit. "Nothing, but for real thought that good girl act is fake ain't it?" he said this time a bit more serious.

"I don't know what your talking about?" I said moving a bit back in my seat.

"Yes you do." he says.

"No. I don't." he stared at me for a bit before walking over to sit by me. a little to close for my liking.

"Yes. you. do." I kept silent trying to scoot back. "when we were kids you were very easily ready to fight with anyone who messed with Tanisha. even if you were getting bullied, and you had a mouth. so what happened to have you acting all shy?" I stared at him blankly.

how the?....

"I'm sorry, but is your last name Gibson?" I asked, unsure of myself, but his name is Tyrell that's for sure.

"Yeah." he says.

I glard at him a bit. "and is Marcus last name king?" he nodded.

"So you remembered?" I stayed silent staring at him, as all the memorys from my childhood, to high school flash in.

This jerk and, that idiot Marcus made my childhood hell with the hair pulling and shit, to the matchs, drowning, and till the time Marcus stole my first kiss.

"Earth to Sky, you heard me right?" I rolled my eyes at him, turning my gaze to the other side of me. "Sky?"

I layed my head on the arm of the couch, ignoring him.

"Sky?"

Silence

"Sky?!" This time he pulled my arm bring me to his chest. I flinch thinking he was gonna hit me next, but nothing happened. instead he was staring at me. I took that chance to move back a bit.
