I wake up to knocking on the door. I brush out my hair and wipe my face as it was all messy from crying all night. I open the door to see the 2 men in the air force suits who's names I found out were Jackson and Mitchell. "Hi" I mumble to them. "We have arranged for you to meet the woman you will be staying with in 1 hour. Go on upstairs and get ready. We will pack your bag for you." Jackson says with a sympathetic look. I nod my head and head towards the shower. *skipping shower scene cause ew* I step out of the shower and put on blue skinny jeans with a black flowy tank top. I slip on my black vans and walk out to see them standing by the door with my bags packed. "We are going to be selling the house later on this month. Your mother wanted you to be the one who gets all their belongings and money." Mitchell said and I nod. We walk out of the house and I look over to see Calum with a confused face. I look back down and stop in my tracks. "Hold on" I whisper and walk back inside. I walk to my room and grab my mom's flag off my wall. I grip it tightly and walk back out. "Let's go" I mumble and get in the car. I think Calum saw the flag because he held a shocked and sympathetic face. I rolled my eyes and they started to drive away. "What is this woman's name?" I ask. Jackson turns to me from the passenger seat and smiles. "Her name is Liz. Liz Hemmings. She has 3 sons but only 1 lives with her. He is 17 I believe. Turning 18 in 3 months." He says. I nod and look back out the window. Maybe i knew him. I dont know anybody with the last name hemmings at our school. Maybe he goes to a different school. Thoughts run through my mind as the car jerks to a stop. I snap out of my own thought bubble and look out the window. The house was beautiful. It was a nice shade of white with grey spaces around it every once in a while. I grab my bag and open the car door. I jump out and brush my hair out of my face. I grabbed the rest of my bags out of the back when a woman who looked about in her 30's runs out of the house with a big smile on her face. She was really pretty. She runs up to me and hugs me tightly. "Im so sorry for your loss sweety. But remember, momma liz is always here for you" She says, making me giggle. "Hi Liz. My name is Skylar. Thank you for letting me stay here" I say shyly. "Its no problem dear. Anything I can do to help out is no problem." She says sweetly. I nod smiling and she helps me with one of my bags. "I will show you to your room. Luke isnt here right now. Hanging out with some friends." She says. "Um.. Luke?" I ask, nervously. He was one of Calum's friends who bumped into me... "Oh! He is my youngest son. He goes to Northwest school. I think you go there to yeah?" She says. I nod my head and she cheers. "Have you met him?" She asks. "Im not sure. What does he look like?" I ask fiddling with my fingers. Now that I think of it, Liz lookd a lot like the guy I saw. Just not with all the tattoos and piercings. Before she can answer, a deep Australian voice rings through the house. "Mum, I'm home!" They shout. Oh god its definitely him. I say to myself. I see him get up the stairs and his face turns shocked. "Skylar?" Luke asks.
