I open the door to reveal Dylan's mum. "Hey Arzaylea." I say pulling her in for a hug. "Hey Sky." She says sadly. "What's wrong?" I ask noticing her sadness. "Have you seen Dylan recently?" She asks concern clear in her voice. "Skylar, who's at the door?" Dad asks walking towards us. He sees Arzaylea and goes up to her. "Arz? Are you alright?" He asks hugging her. "Has anyone seen Dylan?" She asks starting to cry. "No, why?" Dad says concern forming in his voice now too. I was getting worried. I didn't realize I was crying until Brandon hugged me. "You okay, Skylar?" He whispers in my ear. "I'm scared." I whisper back. "It's okay." He says rubbing my back trying to help. "He left this on the table and I haven't seen him since. She says passing dad a note. "Dad?" I ask more scared than ever before. Tears form in his eyes as he reads more. "I'm so sorry Arzaylea." He says hugging her again. "Dad?" I ask him again. He passed it to Brandon. "Skylar, you need to read this alone." He says. "Daddy, I'm scared." I say hugging him. "I know sweet heart, it's okay. You're alright." He says hugging me back and letting me cry into his chest. "Here Sky. Go read it." Brandon says handing it to me. I run upstairs to my room and open the letter.

Dear reader,

Mum-
I'm sorry, I can't keep moving between your's and dads houses. I'm sick of it. Every time you guys are in the same room, all you do it fight. I can't take it anymore. I'm leaving. I'm not too sure where I'm going yet. I bought a new phone so, I will call you when I get somewhere I feel satisfied with. I love you. ~Dylan

Dad-
I'm sorry dad. I can't do this anymore. I don't wanna have to keep moving between your's and mum's houses. I can't stand the fighting anymore. I've listened to it for 11 years now. I'm 17. I'm leaving. Not sure where I'm going yet but I'll call you when I get there. I love you. ~Dylan

Skylar-

I'm so sorry Skylar. I hate having to do this to you, but I can't do this anymore. I can't stand my parents fighting any longer. Who am I? I need to find the answer to that question and the only way to do that is to look. So I'm leaving. I'm not sure where I'm going but I need to find myself. I got a new phone. I will call you when I find myself. Who am I? When I don't know myself. I feel invisible Skylar. I started writing a song. It's called invisible. I hope I get to show you some day. I love you. ~Dylan
