Chapter 18: Who's This

                   *CHANDLER'S POV*
After a great month of Skyler and Khloe and Jacob it was time to fly home for more filming. Skyler Khloe and Jacob came with me to the airport for a goodbye. I didn't let Skyler see me cry but I was breaking inside.
"And I promise I'll tell you how I think you did in every episode." Skyler jokes.
"I'll make sure I skype often and text you updates on set." I promise.
We share a long embrace before I have to leave to board the small plane. Skyler stands alone by the boarding gate and I can see tears forming in her eyes. I turn and wave and she waves back. As soon as I get to my seat I text her and tell her I miss her already and I can't wait to see her in a few months.

                    *SKYLER'S POV*
I try not to cry until we get into Jacob's car (he turned 16 before Chandler had to leave)
Khloe sits in the front with Jacob and I finally beak down crying. 
"Oh come on Skyler! He'll only be gone a few months." Khloe says.
I don't say anything but I feel like Chandler was the only one who's been there for me lately. Khloe has been drifting away from me and now I am alone.
The next day is my first day at school alone...
I am silent mostly and spend all my time texting Chandler now. In my little bubble where it's like he's here with me again.
That day a new girl sits with us at lunch. She's on the Pep team with Khloe so they talk a lot but bubbly girls like her don't get along with me. I believe her name is Hayleigh but she doesn't seem to like me too much. Now whenever I try to hang out with Khloe she's with Hayleigh. I try to talk to Jacob about it but he dismisses me every time. I skype Chandler almost everyday and he tells me about what they filmed in The Walking Dead that day. I wish I could just move there with him and film too.
I am super bored so I text Khloe:
Me: hey Khloe want to try and hang out? We haven't in a while.
Khloe 💖: sorry this is Hayleigh she can't talk rn lol.
Me: oh can you give her the phone?
Khloe 💖: no sorry. I'll let her know you texted tho!

I almost throw my phone. This is ridiculous! I just want my best friend back.
I text Jacob,
Me: hey want to hang out? Khloe won't answer her phone.
Jacob👌: sorry me Khloe are at Hayleigh's house. I thought she said you were sick?
Me: I am not sick?
Jacob👌: then why didn't you come?
Me: I was never invited?
Jacob👌: oh

I text Jacob and Khloe again but no response. It kinda seems like Hayleigh trying to come in between me and Khloe's friendship...
