"Could you please watch him?" I asked Amber the next day. She couldn't understand why I accepted Luke's offer. But she loved Fletcher, so I was hoping that would help. "You know him and Harry need uncle-nephew bonding time." I told her. She sighed and said, "Honey, you know I love you, and I'd do anything for you. But Harry doesn't like Fletcher. I'm sure he would if he knew who you were but Skye, you're not you. And Fletcher isn't who you know he is. Sure Harry tolerates him because he knows Fletcher means a lot to me. I'll watch him, but soon Harry's gonna want to know who you are. Like what your life story is, and I hate lying to him. I'm only doing it now because I love you to death and this is what you want." I nodded and thanked her. I went upstairs to get dressed. Luke said he'd be here around 10:45 in the morning. It was already 10. I pulled out a lace shirt and a skirt and went to shower. (Outfit above)

Exactly at 10:45 Luke rang the doorbell. "Have fun kids. Don't be out too late." Amber joked as she shut the door. I rolled my eyes as Luke opened the passenger door for me. I smiled at him. "She still trying to get you with someone?" He laughed as he pulled out of the drive. "Yes. I'm leaving in a week and she wants to give me a reason to stay I guess." I went along with my little lie from last night. "Why don't you want to stay here? It's a great city. Not much crime, there's great schools around here, you know, for your son." He smiled at me. I nodded and said, "Yeah I know. I'm from here, actually." He looked at me and asked, "So why'd you leave?" I shrugged and said, "I was in a foster home, so I went from place to place. I lived her with my real dad until I was about ten. Then we got into a car accent. I was in ICU for a month with severe head trauma. When I got out I thought I would see my dad. But instead I saw my older brother's bestfriend sitting beside my bed. My dad had died on scene." This wasn't a lie. Only the foster part was a lie. I'd spent the rest of my years living with Harry and his family. My mom died giving birth to me and all I had was my brother and my dad. But my brother got mixed in with the wrong people. We haven't seen him since I was ten, so we all think  he's dead. "So the only family I had was gone. My brother's bestfriend and I were very close. He was almost my bestfriend, too. He wanted me to live with them, because I was comfortable with their family. I wasn't allowed to go with his family, even though they tried to get me. They weren't allowed." I shrugged. "We're almost there, in good news." Luke smiled at me. I was thankful for the subject change, or I probably would've started crying a little bit.

"Here it is." I said to Luke as we looked around for my memorial. It was a grave really. "Do you know what they put in the coffin?" I asked him as we sat there on my "grave". "Harry said something about putting a bunch of her stuff in it. Clothes, her favorites things, stuff like that." He shrugged as he touched the stone. It had my name on it. 

Rebecca Skye Lee Gray
"I loved her."
"She was my sister, though we didn't share blood."
"I'll miss her."

"You guys really loved her didn't you?" I asked him as he stared at the stone for a little while, neither of us said anything. "Yeah. Harry misses her like crazy. He won't admit it to anyone but Amber. Michael misses her too. They were in love, weather they knew it or not." Michael's name caused my heart to flutter in my chest. "Niall and Liam take they grieving out on each other. Or at least that's what I'm told. I haven't seen Calum lately, but I know they were friends way before I met her." He explained, even though I already knew. "What about you?" I asked him. I was playing with the hem of my shirk as he talked. It kept me from looking at his eyes and seeing truth in them. I knew that if I did that I'd tell him everything. "I wish I could take back what I did to her. I don't know why I did it, which isn't an excuse for it. I just wish I could've told her. Like I said last night. I'd take it back if I could, God maybe she'd still be here if it wasn't for me." He said looking at the sky, as if he might see her- me. You can't forget who you are, Skye.  "Things would've turned out the same, Luke. I don't think this your fault." I said touching his hand. In a friendly way of course. "How do you know?" He asked me. "I just do." I said to him. For a half an hour we sat there, not saying anything. Not even when we went to leave.

I stepped inside and shut the door. "In here!" Amber yelled from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to see, Kimmie, Liam's sister, Liam, and Amber, who was feeding Fletcher. "mam." Fletcher smiled at me. I picked him up and hugged him. "What did Aunt Amber feed you?" I cooed at him with a smile. His face was all purple. "Blueberries are his new favorite fruit." She laughed as she cleaned up his high chair table. "You'd make a great mom, Amber." Liam smiled at her. Her back was to them but I could see her face. She wouldn't be a mother. Not with Harry. And I know he's it for her. He's the only one she will ever want. "Yeah, I guess I would be." She took a deep breath and put a smile on her face. One that was clearly fake. "You should go take a nap, you look like you're gonna fall over right now." I said to her She nodded. "I'll help you up the stairs." Liam laughed, she rolled her eyes but let him. Then it was just Fletcher, Kimmie, and I. Slowly a smile came to her face. Not a good smile either, a creepy one. "I know who you are." She said with a smirk. "And who would that be?" I asked her in a level tone. "You're the girl everyone keeps gushing on about. You're Skye. Don't bother denying it, I heard Amber call you by your name he other day." We heard footsteps on the stairs. "Don't tell anyone, please. For the sake of my son." I asked. "You mean Luke's?" She smirked, but it turned into a friendly smile when Liam appeared. "Well we should go, everyone here will be asleep soon. You're the only one left, Lee." He laughed pointing to Fletcher who had indeed fell asleep in my arms. "I'll see you guys later." I waved to them as they headed for the door. Shit.
