The amazing Ariana Grande plays Skylar. Aww, she’s so cute and gorgeous. I wish I looked like her -->
I woke from a loud thud. I turned on the light in the living room and see Daniel lying in the doorway. He looked up at me, but his head fell down. He’s so wasted. I ran up to him and helped him up, almost him falling down again. He leaned almost his full weight on me, so it took me a while to get him to the bedroom. I plopped him down on the bed, but he pulled me with him. ‘Dan,’ I said calmly, ‘just get some sleep.’ He started kissing me hard and his hands roamed around my body, grabbing my butt. It was just like Kevin… Nothing sweet, romantic and loving, no he was just in desperate need for sex. He pushed me down onto the bed and sat down on top of me, kissing me hard again. ‘Daniel! Stop!’ I screamed between kisses, but he doesn’t listen. He fiddled with the strings of my short of my pajamas and when he tried to pull them off, he had to get off of my legs. I quickly rolled off the bed, got up and ran for the door. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow! When you are sober!’ I said, slamming the door behind me. I sat down on one of the stairs and I felt a tear trickle down my face. Well, then I’ll have to sleep in here… Even though it’s freezing. ‘Hey, I live beneath your apartment and I heard everything that happened. Those walls aren’t thick you know…’ I looked up and saw a girl standing right in front of me. She must have been around my age. ‘You had some trouble, didn’t you?’ She had an very girly voice, very sweet and angelic in some way. ‘Why do you care?’ Oops, that came out meaner than I thought. I didn’t mean to sound this bitter, but I was angry at myself too. How could I let him fool me like this?! ‘Well, I can’t let you sleep outside, can I? I live alone, you can sleep on my couch if you want? I’m Skylar by the way.’ She smiled sweetly and extended her hand. I shook it and smiled back. ‘Demi.’ I stand up and follow her down the stairs. ‘Thank you so much.’ ‘No problem sweety.’

Her apartment looks almost the same as ours. There’s more furniture and the walls darker. ‘Nice apartment,’ I said looking around. ‘Thanks,’ she said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. ‘Take a seat. Want something to drink?’ I sat down and shook my head. ‘No, I’m fine.’ She lifted her shoulders and flopped down on the couch next to me. ‘So tell me something about yourself,’ she said, ‘Where are you from? You surely don’t sound like you’re from around here…’ ‘I eh, I’m from the U.K. Birmingham to be precise.’ She beamed me a huge smile. ‘Wow, that’s so awesome!!! Why did you move here… with… him.’ I don’t like the way she said him. She doesn’t even know him and she already hates him. But I decide to let it go. She gave me a place to stay, so I should appreciate it. I don’t have to sleep outside, thanks to her. ‘Well… My mom, my dad and I were in a car-accident which my mom didn’t survive. My dad got in prison because of it, but he got out and I had to run. I was afraid he’d come find me.’ Tears welled up in my eyes. ‘I’m sorry…’ I hate people seeing me cry. ‘No, I am,’ she said, wiping a tear from her cheek. Wow, was she crying because of me?! ‘I’m sorry for crying. I always cry when I see other people cry…’ I giggled at her and she stood up. ‘Well, let’s go to bed. I have to get up early,’ she pouted. ‘Goodnight, oh and be free to use everything. I don’t mind.’ I beamed her another smile. She’s so sweet! ‘Goodnight.’ She walked off and I laid down on the couch. I already felt as if we could be great friends. Finally something good happened in this far-away country. Soon I fell asleep with these happy thoughts crossing my mind.

The door slammed shut and I sat up, trying to see who it was. I first let my eyes adjust to all the light coming from outside. Wow, it’s that late already?! ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you,’ Skylar said, standing at the front door with her leather jacket on and her phone in her hand. ‘Don’t tell me you just woke up,’ she said, her mouth ajar. I looked down, blushing. ‘Wow, you sleepy-head. I’ve already been working, but I didn’t want to wake ya.’ ‘What time is it?’ I asked her, yawning. ‘It’s just after twelve.’ My eyes widened. Damn, I slept a long time. ‘I have to go back to the shop in half an hour, got my break right now and I forgot my phone so I thought I’d come and get it…’ she said, holding her phone up. ‘Where do you work?’ ‘In a music-shop down town. It’s pretty awesome. You can come with me if you want!’ she said smiling. I nodded and smiled. ‘I’ll get dressed real quickly,’ I said, running off to my apartment. I silently opened the door. I’m afraid. I’m afraid he’s awake and ready to yell at me. But luckily he’s still passed out on the bed. I quickly get changed and brushed my hair. I walked towards the door, grabbing my fake-leather jacket and go to Skylar.
‘It’s not far from here,’ Skylar said after about 10 minutes. I couldn’t stop looking around. There are all sorts of cool shops around us, a lot of people and a lot of skyscrapers (omg Demi Lovato’s song! Sorry…). ‘Wow, it’s amazing here!’ She grinned and nodded her head. ‘I know. Here it is by the way,’ she said, pointing at a cute store called ‘Donovan Tunes’. After she unlocked the door, we walked in. There were all sorts of instruments around us. ‘Wow, it’s very nice.’ ‘Thanks, it’s my dad’s.’ She threw her keys on the desk and took of her jacket. ‘Do you mind?’ She asked pointing at the open-closed-sign. I turned it to open and sat down next to her behind the desk. ‘So what kind of music do you listen to?’ I asked her, making her smile hugely. ‘Well, I love pop and rock music. There’s this band called One Direction, you know…’ Her face lit up and her cheeks turned red. ‘Never heard of them actually, I’m sorry. But by the look on your face I can tell they’re hot,’ I replied, grinning. ‘Very hot!’ she said smiling, ‘But you really don’t know them? Baby, you light up my world like nobody else?’ she sang. I shook my head. ‘I don’t really listen to music, because of my dad. But I’m sure they are great.’ ‘You’ve got a lot to learn!’ she said laughing.
Don’t hate on Demi because she doesn’t know them. She stopped listening to music because of her dad. It always made her sad :(
