Broken [#wattys2016]

Chapter 9

Another week had passed, but this week was like a competition to me and Michael. He started flirting with every girl he sees to try and get me jealous, but as usual I'm killing him with my ignorance. I always ignore what he's doing and show him I'm not affected but deep down inside, I'm dying. I feel my heart is aching really bad when I see a girl on his lap and he's playing with her hair or even just smiling at her. I can't handle seeing girls throwing themselves all over him and he's going on with them. I felt betrayed. He said he liked me how could he do this to me?

I felt a hand on mine and when I pulled it back roughly and looked, in front of me was Skylyn. She ignored my freak out and said.

"I'm sorry." She smiles sadly at me. She must've caught me looking toward Michael and that blonde who's sitting next to him. So close to him. That bitch. I'll rip her head.

"F-for what? I don't understand." I lied.

"You know what I mean Annabelle, and that's not a solution you should talk to him. Both of you should talk."

"I don't need to talk to anyone."

"Ughhhh... You're so fucking stubborn."

I smiled at her and we continued eating.

After school I went to Sky's house to distract myself from thinking about anything especially Michael. When we arrived to her house and after we unbuckled our seat belts she looked at me and said.

"Are you sure you want to come in ... I mean we can go anywhere else."

When I looked towards her house I understood why she's saying this. It was a very small house from the outside, the windows were cracked and the polish was almost gone. I looked at her and smiled.

"Yes, I'm sure lets go. And I would never ever judge you Sky."

"Thank you." She said smiling softly at me.

When we entered her house it was so neat and organized but their was barely any furniture, the TV was so old. A sweet calm voice grabbed my attention and when I looked toward the source of the sound I found a middle aged women smiling at us.

"Hello baby how was your day." She kissed sky's cheek and hugged her tightly. By her actions I remembered my own mother, I missed her hugs and kisses, her bedtime stories that she came up with every night to keep me from being bored by the same stories. I didn't notice that my eyes were full of tears threatening to fall down until I heard skylyn's voice.

"Anna, are you okay?"

"Wh-at .. Oh yea yea I'm fine." I said while wiping my eyes.

"Darling take your friend to your room, dinner will be ready in an hour."

"Okay mom." Skylyn replied.

We entered her small room and sat on her bed. We talked a lot about everything. She told me about how they're suffering financially even though her father and mother work on two different jobs. She didn't have any brothers or sisters and she got into our school with a scholar ship.

After an hour her mother called us for dinner. Everything was so simple, food and table wear wasn't as fancy as ours but I actually don't care. I enjoyed dinner a lot, her mother was so lovely just like mine. I even helped her with the dishes after we finished eating.

"I need to go now. Thank you for everything Sky. I had fun." I said.

"Okay. Bye bye." She said and leaned and hugged me, I hugged her back and walked toward my car.

When I opened my car door and sat on my side I unlocked my phone and called someone I know who can give me information about Sky's family. Don't get me wrong I'm not stalking her I just want to help her.

"Hello Miss Annabelle how can I help you this time?" A familiar voice said.

"Hello Paul I would like to know a few things about the Launter's family. They live in (address). I want to know if they have any debts or unpayed rents. Everything."

"Sure just give me one hour and I'll call you back."

" Thanks " I hung up and started the car.

When I arrived home no one was there. I entered my room, changed to something comfortable and opened my laptop. I opened Facebook and entered on Michael's account. I started scrolling through his feed and watching his pictures. Suddenly my phone rang and when I looked at the caller's ID it was Paul.

"Hey Anna I have what you need. The Launter's actually have a huge debt to someone."

"How much?"

"10,000$"

"Pay it. What else?"

"Wha..t? Are you sure?"

"Yes I am."

"Okay.. If you say so. They also have two months unpaid rent"

"I need you to pay their rent for a year."

"Ok... And that's all do you need anything else Annabelle?"

"Actually yes, I want you to send someone to repair their house in a short time and to provide them with new furniture, painting, everything it needs from the inside and outside. Also I want you to find Mr.Launter an appropriate job with a high salary."

"Consider it done."

"Thank you. Good night. "

The next day Skylyn came to me running and she hugged me tightly before saying anything.

"What the hell Sky? Why are you so happy?"

"Something magical happened yesterday after you left."

"Ah really? Good."

"First, someone called and offered my father a job with a high salary so now he can work only one job with triple the salary he took in his previous two jobs and my mother will not work anymore. Then, the lord land was knocking on our front door and when my father was about to beg him not to kick us out he told him that someone had payed our rent for a Freakin year. And the best of all someone also payed the person my father owed money."

"I'm so happy for you Skylyn that's great." I said giving her a smile.

"You mean that .... It's not you who did that?" She asked confused.

"Me? No." I faked a confused look on face.

"Oh... I wonder who it is."

"Never mind, what's important now is that everything is okay."

"YES AND IM VERY HAPPY." She cheered.
