Sun To Me

Anyone: Chapter 6

It's been about three days since Skylar and I broke up and it was breaking me. "Hey, you hungry?" Kayla asked coming into my room. "No." "You can't starve the baby, L." She told me. "How about you go stargaze? It's dark enough now." "No. It reminds me too much of him." I told her. "I know you miss him but this is probably for the best." She said sitting down beside me. I didn't say anything. "Lex, you have to eat something." She said. "I don't want to." She sighed. "Fine. Don't fucking eat." She said then slammed my door.

Kayla's POV

"Is she coming out?" Mason asked as I walked in the kitchen. "No. She won't budge." "She's starving the baby." "What did you think I told her, Mase?" I asked and sighed. Someone started knocking. "That better not be Skylar." I told him and sure enough it was. "What do you think you're doing here?" I asked him. "Where's Lexi?" He asked looking around. "She's not home. She's too heartbroken over you. She can't even do her favorite thing. Stargazing because it reminds her too much of you. You should leave." I told him. "I'm not gonna do that, Kayla." He told me. "Fine. I guess I'll just have to call the cops." "I just want to talk to her. Is that so much to ask for?!"

Lexi came out of her room seeing him. "What are you doing here?" She asked Skylar. "Lexi, go back to your room." I told her. "Lexi, I just want to talk." He said. She didn't say anything in response. She sighed. "Did you only come here because I said I was pregnant?" She asked and he sighed. "She might not even keep the baby." Mason added. "You guys can't talk for her." "It's true, Skylar. You didn't even let me explain to you that I was pregnant. So I don't think that it's a good idea for us to talk. Because I tried talking to you but you didn't let me. You just pushed me away. So I'm sorry if I'm not interested in hearing what you have to say." She told him and she went back in the room.
"You can go." I told him. He left.

I was on my computer and I remembered I had Skylar's song on que. It was even favourited. I put on headphones and listened to it. I just sat there and started quietly sobbing. I also wrote a song from the times I used to struggle every day. I decided to post it on Instagram.

The post:

alexandria.acacia_: wrote a song. go check it out! Anyone.
(Demi Lovato: Anyone.)

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling. My phone started blowing up with comments minutes after I posted my songs. "Love it!" "So deep but so good!" I chuckled as I read most of them.

Skylar sent me a text.

Can we please talk? Don't tell Kayla.

There's nothing to talk about. You broke up with me. End of story.

Please, Lex. Give me 10 minutes of your time.

Fine. Mason and Kayla aren't home.

I sighed after I put my phone down. 10 minutes later I heard knocking. "Hey." Skylar said as I opened the door. I just walked away and sat on the couch. "You wanted to talk. Talk away." I told him. "Lex, I'm sorry. I was mad. I shouldn't have cut our supposed talk short because I was mad at you and I'm really sorry." He said and I slightly nodded. "When did you find out?" "Right after we fought in Brooklyn." I said. I cleared my throat and looked down. "I just wanna let you know that I'm all in this time. Do you forgive me?" He asked. I nodded and hugged him.
We had a long talk and I made the courageous decision to keep the baby.

He left a little bit before Mason and Kayla got home. "Hey, you're out of your room. Feeling better?" Mason asked. "I'm gonna keep the baby." I told them. "What?" "Me and Skylar talked while you guys were gone. He seems really excited." I explained. "Oh, so he gets to break your heart and just walk off scot-free?" Kayla asked. "You don't know him like I do, Kayla. Maybe you should keep your rational opinions to yourself." I told her before going in my room.

2 days later/ Thursday

I was already halfway through from finishing my essay but we weren't working on them today. "So, today we will go around the room and you tell me what makes you think you can act. You can't just come here and say "I just want to be an actress/actor."." Mr Gillard said and I snickered. After a few people. "Ms. Jackson. What makes you think you can be an actress?" He asked. "For me, it feels that I'm pursuing it for myself but I would just love to roll up my sleeves and do the actual work of an actress. I have such a strong passion for performance. It's one of the things that I love the most and I really like to think of myself as a hard worker." I said.

"That's good." He said then continued. Skylar smiled as he was by the desk and I smiled back. "You are a hard worker." He mouthed and I quietly chuckled.

"So you guys are good now?" Dean asked. "You're really interested in my personal life, huh?" I asked and he chuckled. "How's your essay going?" I asked. "Pretty good. You?" "More than good. But it's basically trauma dumping." I said and he laughed.

After class I decided to finally call my parents since I've been slacking. I sat on the couch at home. Skylar was right beside me. "Okay." I said to myself and dialed. "Jackson residence." Dad said picking up the phone. "Dad?" "Alexandria? Hi." He said and I was confused. "Um, is Mom home?" "Yes. She's right here." He said and I inhaled. "I need to talk to you about something. Put the speaker phone on, please." "Alright." He said and he did. "What did you wanna talk about?" Mom asked. "Uhh..." I looked at Skylar and he nodded. "I'm...pregnant. I just thought you guys should know." "Whose is it?" "That's funny, Dad." I said and he chuckled.

"Thank you for telling us." Mom said. "You're not mad?" "No. You're an adult and you have rights." She said. "Huh. Uh, okay. That's all." I said still confused as fuck. "Okay. Talk to you later." Dad said and I hung up. "I think those people aren't my parents." I told Skylar and he chuckled. "Well, at least you finally told them." He said and I nodded.

"We're back." Kayla said. "You guys have been gone a lot lately." Skylar said. "The city needs us." "Alright, Bat Man." I told Mason sarcastically. "I told my parents that I was pregnant." I told them. "Are they coming back to lecture you?" Kayla asked since she knows my parents pretty well. "No. They actually were calm." "What?" Mason asked. "Why are you guys so shocked?" Skylar asked and we looked at him.

"I took Lexi to the mall once without telling her parents and Eve wouldn't let us see each other for two months. We still hung out behind her back." Kayla said and I nodded. "She thought I was Lexi's boyfriend the first time I went to her house and kept watching us." Mason said and I laughed. "We were like 11. It took my mom five years to start liking you." I said and he nodded. "Five years?" "Five years." We all corrected.
