Home Soon (Sequel to What It Seems)

Chapter 10

*COLSON'S POV*

"Damn, Sky, pick up the phone. Call me back when you get this." I left her the voicemail and hung up the phone. I had been calling her nonstop to see if she could take the twins for a couple hours today. I had no luck getting a hold of her. Jess wasn't answering either, but she was probably sleeping. I expected Skylar to at least be awake by now. Dub walked in the living room, Kenzie behind him 

"Either one of y'all talk to Sky this morning?"

"No, we thought you did. We can't get a hold of her. " I instantly worried about if she was okay, but didn't show it.

"Well..Jess might have her in a last mintue meeting." I suggested, trying to convince all three of us that there was nothing wrong. Cierra came walking in the kitchen, and walked straight over to me. She smiled as she hugged me, but I couldn't bring myself to smile back for some reason.

"What's wrong Kells? You okay?" she said looking up at me. It reminded of me when Skylar used to do that. I shook my head, and looked down at her, faking a smile.

"Yeah, everything's fine. You should go." an annoyed look crossed her face before walking to the front door.

"Whatever, text me when you want more company." she winked at me and left. I just rolled my eyes and sat back on the couch.

"So what do we do?" Kenzie asked me and Dub.

"I have no fuckin' clue. I just need to know she's okay." they smiled at me, which annoyed me more than it should have. They eventually left and I went upstairs to hang out with Allie and Colson. They sat down to watch TV after a while and I went to what's now my room to lay down. I looked around and ended up staring at the empty space next to me. Cierra shouldn't be sharing this bed with me, I know who should. But I fucked up so bad that I drove her away for three years. I remember the day she left like it was yesterday.

She looked so sad, which confused me because I thought everything was okay. I had no idea she was leaving, and for this long. I didn't know what to feel at that moment. I just got angry, and I think I started yelling. All I knew was that I was losing someone who meant the world to me and I couldn't really put it all together to figure out why. After she left, I wasn't myself. Sure, I would sleep with some girls here and there, but it wasn't the same so I eventually just stopped. I knew she had to, but what made me feel so much more upset was how miserable she really looked at the time. She looked so tired and sad. I understand now what she told me about her and her problems back then. She looked like she was in pain as she told me she was leaving.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the front door open downstairs. I heard Jess calling to see if anyone was home. I ran down, hoping that she'd have Skylar with her. She seemed surprised by how fast I got down there.

"Colson, what's wrong?"

"Where's Skylar?"

"I don't know, that's what I came to ask you."

*SKYLAR'S POV*

"Shit, where am I?" I rubbed my head as I sat up, not knowing what had happened or where I was. I looked around and saw I was sitting on a bed in a dark room. It was light outside, but the curtains were closed. I heard movement out in what I was going to call the living room for now. I heard two different voices, that sounded way too familiar. I stood up, almost falling back over because I felt so dizzy. I walked over to the window and looked out. The neighborhood looked familiar but I couldn't figure out where I was exactly. I heard someone coming so I stumbled back over to the bed. 

"So you're finally awake?" I looked up to see the one person I was hoping it wasn't.

"W-what am I doing here? Why?"

"Because Sky, if I can't have you, he definitely isn't going to." he sat on the bed and I scooted as far away as I could. He laughed and looked at me. "Why are you so scared of me? I ain't gonna hurt you."

"I don't believe you and you better stay away from me."

"Or what? Is your little friend gonna come to your rescue again? Or Kells?"

"Leave Colson out of this."

"Why do care so much about Kells? He doesn't love you anymore, but I do." I shook my head.

"He said-"

"WHY do you always believe everything he says?"

"I don't. But I'd believe him before you." he rolled his eyes.

"Whatever Skylar. I'll be back later. Someone else should be bringing you food later. I'll let her know." he left the room and locked the door. Her? Who could he be talking about? I had an idea, but I didn't think she hated me that much.. I wish I hadn't rushed out of the house like I did that night. 

I just hoped Colson would realize something was wrong. He wasn't stupid, he would know something was up and if he didn't someone was going to. And Allie and Colson would start asking questions. Well, probably Allie. More than anything, I hoped I would get out of here. 

*UNKNOWN POV*

After he left, I got my phone out and dialed his number. He didn't answer, so I texted him.

hey, can I come over?

thts not the best idea right now

i'll be over. maybe i can help. take your mind off of it.

I grabbed my things and walked out to the car. I knew he was worried about her. I didn't know why. I mean, she left him and avoided him for three years. Yet there he was, still worried about her. And still acting like he was totally and completely in love with her. It honestly disgusted me. I couldn't stand the bitch. I didn't care that they had two kids, I didn't like her being at the house. I was gonna do whatever I had to to keep her out of the picture.
