Love in the Skai

Reality

Trent told me to get ready this morning I'm not sure what he has up his sleeve, I put on the leash I got for Miracle on him and walked downstairs with him in my arms, hey Miracle he said as he noticed him. We pulled up to a pottery class I was beyond happy I loved pottery when I was in school pottery class was the only class I felt safe to be myself in. Everyone in the class love Miracle he was actually enjoying the attention. Trent stood behind me and whispered you look so tasty this morning. My breathing labored,there was a pool between my legs this man is making me feel some very unfamiliar feelings. I blushed as the teacher walks by to check everyone's work she gave Trent and I a knowing look and left us alone. Trent have been overly flirty but I just ignore it since that's his nature,he'll say things that friends really shouldn't say to each other but,if I didn't know better I would think he had feelings for me. But he was leaving he wouldn't take me with him I knew better than to dream that he would be my knight in shining armor and sweep me off my and we would live happily, I know those things only happen in the movies,love is not something I see ever happening to me. So Trent you leaving next month I said admiring my pottery. Yeah are going to miss me he said as he took his eyes off the road for a few seconds. Yeah I am I had fun with you,thank you for being so nice to me I said smiling at him. No one was ever nice to Skai except her twin brother, sometimes she felt like she didn't exist people seem to never notice her. Now the only me was leaving and I knew he would never come back,he wouldn't come back for me the reality of that hurt but she wouldn't be of much use to him. She starred out the window thinking about how her life was going to change she had a heart surgery next month and she rented an apartment she didn't tell anyone because she knew Julius would go mad but that's for his own good,Skai could tell Layla was a little aggravated at times when Skai would come home,Skai felt like an interruption and she didn't want to ruin her brother's chance of being kn love,she already ruined his life. Sometimes Skai wonder how life would be for Julius if she kept her cancer a secret and never called Julius the day she was diagnosed. Maybe he would be married with kids,he would have the full college experience instead of just going to class and then having to go to work,two jobs at that. Trent noticed her change of attitude,he wondered if she was sad he was leaving or was something else bothering her. Once they got home she thanked him and went to her room without saying a word to Julius and Layla,she didn't want to disturb them they were watching a movie. Skai laid on the bed with Miracle with a heavy heart she started wondering what she did to get so many bad karma she never hurt anyone not intentionally,she was a quiet kid so she don't understand how she ended up getting molested by gesne he was a 40 year old man,he lived in the same apartment complex as her aunt,during one summer her mom sent her to stay with aunt Lynda and everyday since that day he would threaten her into going inside his house,he would see her playing on the front porch with her dolls and he would tell her that he was going to call the cops and have her aunt and uncle arrested because they borrowed money from him and never paid back,he once told her if she told anyone he would kill her 3 month old baby cousin so Skai kept quiet still till this day she never told anyone just like she never told anyone why she left Georgia to move to Florida,she just told her aunt and Julius that the school there was better suited for her. She never told them that Kevin her ex boyfriend would abuse her he went as far as putting her in choke holds,after waking up from one of his choke holds she packed her bags and ran for the train station and never went back. Skai felt asleep ignoring the need to cry she knew tomorrow would be a new day a day for change the day she becomes an adult and stop being a burden.
