Chapter Five.

Skylar's Point Of View

I woke up in the middle of the night, because I needed to go to the bathroom. I grabbed my phone. I turned the lights on in the bathroom and once I looked into the hugh mirror they've here I saw how bad and tired I actually looked. I redid my ponytale. Once I was done in the bathroom, I went back to bed. On my way to the bedroom, I checked my phone.

8:36 PM

'You don't have to be embarrassed.'

I didn't know what to text back. I don't controk the things I do when I'm drunk. Because of that, all I do when I'm drunk us being clumpsy and doing stupid things like that. I don't even know what he's like, neither do I know his name. I decided not texting him back since it's nighttime. I went back to sleep.

I woke up in the morning still tired seeing it's 8:57 AM. I kept thinking about the text, trying to get an image of him in my head.

To: Unknown Number
9:06 AM

'How could I not be embarrassed? I did some serious dumb shit that night. You've got the worst first impression of me. :|'

Even though I don't remember him,  I feel like he's a good person and cares about other people since he brought me home safely. Then I realised something. 

To: Unknown Number
9:10 AM

'I just realised I haven't had a chance to say thank you for bringing me home safely, so thank you for that. :)'

I almost directly got a text back.

'You're welcome sweetheart, I'm Justin btw. :)'

To: Justin
9:12 AM

'Nice name, I'm Skylar. You could call me Sky, too. It's what my friends call me all time.'

Although I didn't know him, I wanted to. I felt a connection,  I didn't know what it was but I wanted to know him better.

'How are you today, Skykar? ;)'

To: Justin
9:16 AM

'Good, and you?'

From: Justin
9:17 AM

'Same, doing good. What are you doing today?'

To: Justin
9:18 AM

'Probably nothing I think, me and my girls have days in the week when we want to do our own things.'

From: Justin
9:19 AM

'Do you wanna hang out? You know, to get to know eachother a little bit,  when everyone's sober.'

Okay, I think he feels the same way. But, maybe this is too fast. We texted for like maybe 2 days now, maybe I should wait with meeting him. But what if I don't want to meet him now,  he doesn't want to meet at all? 

To: Justin
9:22 AM

'Sure, that'd be fun. Just tell me when and where,  I'll be there. '

From: Justin
9:23 AM

'What about the park at 11?'

To: Justin
9:24 AM

'Okay,  I'm gonna start getting ready.  See you at 11. ;)'

He didn't respond after that message. I got out of bed and took a shower,  did my normal morning routine and went downstairs to make myself breakfast. I turned my music on,  playing 'Let Me Love You' by Justin Bieber. As I made my breakfast, I sang along with the lyrics. I looked at my phone seeing it was alreadt 10:49 AM.  I made my way outside and I walked to the park. There were other people in the park, an old lady sitting on the bench, a mom with her kid playing and an old man reading the newspaper, but no younger boy like my age.

To: Justin
11:05 AM

'I'm here.'

He did not respond. Not after 10 minutes. Not after 1 hour. Not after a day.  Not after a week. I was done with him.  I didn't try to contact him after several messages asking if he was okay.  I didn't tell Brook and Leah.  We spend our time doing fun stuff,  we went shopping again, visiting souvenir stores and bought some for our family, we saw a museum which was surprisingly interesting and we went out many many times. We were about to go out to our favorite club here so far when I got a text.
