Chapter 20

This chapter is dedicated to Troye Sivan who I am absolutely in love with. I have mild insomnia and his songs, especially Heaven, help me fall asleep. Thank you so much Troye ❤️

Recap:
I turn the handle and push open my door, my hand dropping the can immediately at the three surprises in there.

One; Scott was in here.

Two; Scott was in here with everyone else.

Three; Scott was in here with everyone else and someone I hadn't seen forever.

"Skylar," she breathes and I launch myself into her arms.

"I missed you so much...." I mumble into her shoulder.

*****

She pulls away from the hug and gives me her same old dazzling smile. "I missed you too. The orphanage is boring without you there." She quickly glances around at the other members before leaning to me and whispering in my ear, "I'm fangirling so much right now."

I nod and she squeals, biting her lip. The band laughs and she blushes slightly.

"Why are you here?" I ask her and she pauses then glances at Scott. They communicate using their eyes for a couple of seconds before Scott sighs.

"You trusted me and I- I betrayed that trust." He says softly and I bite my lip, looking down at the ground. "Esther told me about you saying goodbye to Penelope and I made up my mind that to try and get you to forgive me, I went to the orphanage and, after convincing that old bag at the orphanage, I brought her here. She's been here since lunchtime."

"Is that where you guys were this morning?" I ask and they all nod, except for Kirstie, of course.

"I love your hair!" Penelope gushes and grabs a strand... Or forty.

"Thanks," I blush slightly and grin at her. "I missed you Loopy Lopey."

She playfully glares at me. "I thought we were passed that!" I laugh, along with the rest of the band.

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

"Goodnight Lopey," I mutter and she yawns.

"G'night." She mutters and a couple seconds later, I hear her deep breathing; she was always one of those people.

She was sleeping in the other side of my massive bed. They have to take her back to the orphanage tomorrow while I'm at school.

I wait ten minutes before gently lifting the blankets and hopping out of bed. I place the blankets back on Penelope's body and glance at the clock before creeping out of my room.

It's 1am, he might not even be awake.

Shut up logic.

I tip-toe down the hallway and reach Mitch's door. I shoot a glance back at Scott's door. Scott is still living in the Sup3rfruit apartment but all of his stuff is in his room. He told me he was going to permanently move to the apartment soon, when I asked him about it earlier.
