Stay

Chapter 10: Bad News

*SKYLER'S POV*
I froze. I knew that voice... It was Chandler for sure. I finally looked over at him. I walked over and said, "Talk before I slap you." he laughed and right away I slapped him across the face, leaving a red mark on his cheek. I told him what he did wasn't okay and he might as well never talk to me again unless he wants to keep getting slapped. I started walking off and I felt him grab my wrist. He said one word; "Stay." I looked back at him with tears in my eyes and finally I ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. I felt relief. I was so mad but I knew he regretted it... right? While we were hugging, my phone buzzed. It was my mom, she texted me saying I had to come home. I said bye to everyone and left.
Right when I got home I got a text from Khloe, Jacob and I's old group message:

🔥SQUAD🔥
Jacob😋: You're going to regret forgiving him. He's going to break your heart again.

Khloe💜: You're trusting him a little too much... I don't want you to get hurt Sky.

Me: Leave me alone. You guys don't know anything.

You left the conversation at 8:52 pm

I was sick of them, sick of everyone. I just wanted to see Chandler and no one else. I was DONE with everyone.

*JACOB'S POV*
Wow, she left our group message. All we did was try and protect her. I hope she has fun with that jerk who is just going to break her heart.
I hugged Khloe goodbye, left her house and starting heading towards mine. Later after I got home I got a text from Khloe saying she was going to the beach tomorrow. I told her ok and that I would miss her & that I loved her. I fell asleep watching tv and before I knew it, it was the next day. I got ready for school, ate and left the house. School was boring, until 3rd period. I got pulled out of class and sent to the office. They told me that my parents were on the phone and needed to talk to me. So, I grabbed the phone and said:
Me: Hello?
Mom: Hi Jacob it's your mother...
Me: Hi... what's wrong? Why did you call me?
Mom: I have bad news... Khloe... she...
Me: What happened to her?!
Mom: On her way to the beach her and her family got into a car crash...she's in the hospital.
I dropped the phone on the floor and ran out to the basketball courts. I paced back and fourth through the courts for a while and then picked up the basketball and drop kicked it. I kneeled to the ground and out my head in my hands. How could things get any worse? I stayed on the ground for a while and then I felt a hand touch my back.
I looked up and it was Vanessa. I stood up quickly and wiped my tears away. "What do you want?" I asked. "Are you okay?" she asked. "No." I responded. "Hmm well I guess it was for the best... you should always check your tires before you go on a big trip." she said almost laughing. "You did this? It was you?" I asked starting to cry. "No; I wish! I'm not that smart. But it was for the best... now we can be together. Everything is back to normal, see?"
She said wickedly. "You better walk off right now." I said calmly. She smacked her gum and left. I pulled out my phone and called Khloe's Mom.
