The Lake and the Sea (CANCELLED)

Skylar II

Ross
I walked into the main room. Where is everyone? I peer into the offices, looking for someone. Then I notice the light in Skylar's office. She's here. I walk over and peer into the window. Adam, Jess, and Skylar are yelling at each other. I couldn't hear any conversation so I knocked on the window. They quickly turned their heads. Jess held her head, Adam stood up, and Skylar looked away. Adam opened the door. "Hey, Ross." He said nervously. I looked at him weird. "Hey Adam. Why are you guys acting weird?" Jess eyes widened. "What? We're not acting weird. You're acting weird!" She laughed nervously. I looked at Skylar. She continued to neglect my appearance. "Okay seriously what's going on. Someone needs to tell me now." Adam and Jess just stood there frozen, unsure what to do. Then, Skylar stood up and looked at me. I raised my eyebrows cautiously. She took a deep breath. "Can we talk privately?" I said nervously, "Um, sure lets go to my office because there's too much tension in here." I looked at Adam and Jess. They just smiled weirdly and waved. Skylar shook her head and took my arm.

We sat down in two chairs next to my desk. "So what's up?" I said nervously. She looked as nervous as I am. "Okay, last night Max drove me home. We were both a little tipsy." My heart was racing. She wouldn't. She closed her eyes and spoke again. "I let him into my suite and... and..." She looked down at the floor. I stared daggers at her. I was angry and humiliated that she would do this to me. She began to cry and covered her face. I stood up and held my forehead. I paced around the room. She said sobbing, "I regretted it the morning after. I never wanted it to be this way." I looked at her seriously. "Really? Because it sounds like you could've stopped it." I began to raise my voice. "I showed my feelings for you! And you said you had feelings for me too! And you go doing this!" She began to cry hard. I immediately fell bad for her, but not bad enough to forgive her. I lowered my voice. "I thought I could trust you. But no." She looked up. "I'm done with you." I walked out of my office and left her in there. My heart was beating fast and tears rolled down my eyes. This.. this is all her fault. She could've done something. Then I stopped in he middle of the hallway. I looked back at my office and clenched my fists. This is Max's fault.
