(Skylar's POV)

I feel blessed for being sent to my room. Honestly if you couldn't tell, I'm not really a what you would call 'social' person. If she really wanted to punish me she'd tell me to not go to my room. I sit down at my desk and pull out my laptop, looking to many missed calls from Skype. Who even uses Skype anymore? I open Instagram.com, opening Jeffrey's Instagram. I look through the photos he's tagged in and honestly laugh. People want to stare at him longer than they have to? I look through some of the fan accounts and am actually amazed. Some of these people can actually edit. After getting tired of having to look at pictures of Jeffrey, I carefully close my laptop and jump onto my bed. I stare up at the ceiling, thinking over everything, until my mind settles on something. I still have one question that is yet to be answered. If Jeffrey has so many people that would die for him, why does he have scars all over his arms? I bite my lip. None of this makes any sense. I mean I know he has people that hate him, so do I, but he has fans.... a girlfriend... and siblings that adore him. I guess it's none of my business anyway. I can't just walk up and be like "Yo why'd you cut yourself?" I slam the pillow on my face, hoping my mind will shift to something else. My eyes become heavy as I begin to drift off into slumber.

*Next Morning*

Saturday. I have a conclusion about Saturday's. Saturday's are well-known for the typical teenage beach day, party night, or the classic morning hangover. For people like me, Saturday's are the days you aren't bound to do anything but search the world of the Internet. I have no problem with it. I roll over, facing the wall with my phone in my hands. I scroll through the colorful, yet scary world of Tumblr. I don't get why everyone trashes Tumblr so much, I mean I know it has some 18+ content but c'mon, what doesn't these days? It's not like it'll rotten your mind. Well, unless you don't stay on it too long. By too long I mean 2 minutes.

*Text*

Katie: Hey what's up? Anika and I are going to the beach tomorrow if you wanted to join?

Well there it is. Can't I just enjoy my lonely weekend?

(Jeffrey's POV)

"Grammy, please just sign it." I groan.

"Jefferson you shut it... If I sign my signature then they could steal my identity." She complains, gesturing to the nurse who is trying to keep their composure.

"M'am this is just to confirm his release for tomorrow morning." The nurse explains.

"They would need your thumb print to steal your identity grams..." I add, she sighs as she finally gives in, signing the paper on the line.

"Jerry, where's Julian?" She asks out of nowhere.

"Oh she's at cheer camp all weekend." I tell her, she nods.

"I wish I could still fit in those tight skirts or have one...Hey Jeff could you go to the stor-" She starts.

"No, Grammy." I reply, she sits on the bed, pouting.

*Text Convo*

Jeffrey: Heyyy❤️

Julia: Oh... hi.

Jeffrey: How are you doing?

Julia: Fine. Why do you feel the need to constantly check up on me?

Jeffrey: I'm your boyfriend...This is the first I've texted you in 2 days...

Julia: Oh.. right.. About that... umm...

Jeffrey: About what?

Julia: I don't think I can do this anymore...

Jeffrey: do what?
