When Hayley came home I knew something was wrong, hearing Hayley talk about her mum, and asking when she’s coming home.
It reminded me of my parents, the morning I woke up in the hospital, hearing that they’re missing and not dead.
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her, obviously her mum has left them, but with Skyler’s facial expression there seems more than what it looks.
I looked at Skyler to see that he had a worried expression, something was definitely wrong.
I put my attention to the study as Skyler talked to Hayley.
“Hayley why don’t you go get cleaned up and get dad to watch a movie with you?”
“Daddy isn’t home, Greg picked me up.”
I stiffened at the name. I raised my head and saw that Skyler’s jaw was clenched tight.
“Well then get cleaned up and come back in here alright?”
I saw Hayley run out of the room and went down the hall.
“Whose Greg?”
My voice came out shaky, it has to be a different person right, I mean there’s heaps of people called Greg… Right?
“He is my dad’s friend that I really don’t like, there’s something about him, but its most probably nothing like always.”
I nodded, but the gut feeling wouldn’t go away.
“Just another question, why is it that when Hayley mentioned your mum, you went all weird, I know that its none of my business, but you gave me a worried look.”
Skyler changed his expression again, soft spot, I think so.
“It’s not the best time to tell her that mum isn’t coming back. Sometimes I’m scared that I’m just going to spit it out.”
“Okay.”
I left it at that, I felt somewhat bad, he Skyler is telling me about things that are true, and I’m living a lie.
“Listen I have to go, I start work again soon.”
Skyler’s eyes seemed hurt.
“Okay well I’ll pick you up tomorrow?”
I shook my head.
“Sky, we finished the project, you just need to do your part. Then were done, and I’m trying to pick up some more shifts at the orphanage.”
“Oh, you finished already? Okay that’s fine, maybe we can hang out one day or something?”
I let out a smile.
“For sure, just name when and where and ill mark it in my busy diary.”
Skyler responded by a smile and started walking me out.
“I know where the door is.”
“Yeah I know but I’m not being rude and plus Greg is down stairs.”
I felt my chest tighten.
“Okay then.”
As we walked down the stairs I noticed a man with shaggy brown hair sitting in front of the T.V.
