A Scar That Won't Fade

Chapter ten:

A picture of Skyler's security room setup. There are more screens above it however and the room is a little bigger and brighter. ^^^

We were an hour into the journey as guilt was eating me up alive. Sure, I was extremely pissed with the whole situation but I refused to show any emotions. But maybe I should be the bigger person and apologies for snapping at Jess the way I did.

I finally made my mind up and decided to be the one to apologise. "Look I'm sorry for snapping earlier. I shouldn't have raised my tone and certainly shouldn't have been so harsh and let you talk." I said still facing the road.

I refused to make eye contact but I saw him look at me in the corner of my eyes. I felt his hard glare in the side of my head, his glare however suddenly change into a soft look. I turned my head for a split second to look at him but then turned back to the road.

He didn't say a word and neither did I. I apologised and I am doing nothing more than that.

My phone started ringing and I pressed on my earpiece answering the call.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey it's me Blaze." He said.

For some reason that planted a smile on my face and I saw Jess' slightly confused face looking at me.

"Hey Blaze." I said softly. "What's up?" I asked.

Jess didn't look at me. He pulled a face and went back to looking at the window.

"Well Jess texted me before saying that you stormed off and that he was worried, he asked if you contacted me so I'm just calling in to see if you're okay." He said. I could hear his nervous note which just made me smile again.

"Hehe yea, we are on our way home now but will be home in around an hour if not later looking at the traffic." I said with a light chuckle.

"So Jess was panicking over nothing?" He asked sounding slightly relieved.

"Yup. He's just a drama queen." I said causing both me and him to laugh.

"Okay I love talking to you but you're distracting me while I'm driving and looking for a petrol station or somewhere to get coffee." I said. "See you later Blaze. Tell Logan to get the cooks to prepare food or something and tell him to call me as soon as he knows if my dad is coming back." I said.

"Okay see you Sky." He said and I hung up the call.

I continued driving and saw a small dinner on the side of the road surrounded by a small forest. I pulled in and stopped the car.

"What did Blaze want?" Jess asked turning to look at me.

It was my turn to be silent. I undone my seatbelt and walked out of the car closing the door behind me. I walked over to the door next to which Sienna was sitting and opened it. I shook her lightly.

She didn't wake up so I closed the door again. "I'm going to get coffee. Stay or come I don't care." I said bluntly walking towards the dinner.

I heard the truck door open and close. I didn't turn around just kept on walking. It was a Friday and about 2pm if not a little later.

Skipping school wasn't exactly my thing but then again, I had a good reason.

I walked over to the small bar and sat on a stool. It looked like a classic 1950s dinner with the old music boxes and all.

The guy behind the bar walked over to me and stood in front of me. "Hello, is there anything I could get you sweetheart?" He asked with a warm big smile.
