Chapter 12
It was quiet the whole bus ride. We finally got to my dads house.
"You ready?" Hunter asked me.
"Yeah..." I said.
I stood up. Hunter helped me off the bus. We walked up the drive to the front door. I took out my key, unlocked the door and went inside. Hunter helped me up to my room.
"Will you hand me that pillow?" I asked Hunter.
He picked up my pillow and handed it to me. I pulled out my bags of money. I used little zip block bags. There was about six bags.
"How much is this?" Hunter asked.
"Almost a thousand dollars." I said.
I heard someone get up. I stuffed the bags in my jacket.
"Let's go." I said.
Hunter helped me downstairs. A light turned on when i was about to open the door.
"What do you think you're doing?!" My dad asked.
I turned around.
"I'm leaving." I said and opened the door.
I went out and Hunter followed close behind.
"I'm glad. I never have to see your ugly face ever again! I never loved you! Not even when you were born! I have always knew you were a bitch! I hate you!" My dad yelled from the door.
Hunter helped me on the bus. The bus driver started driving away.
"Skyler? Are you ok?" Sam asked me.
I realized then that I was crying. Sam helped me sit down on the couch. Hunter sat down next to me.
"He probably didn't mean it. He was probably just drunk." Hunter said.
"No... He meant it...." I said between tears.
Hunter pulled me into him. I felt Sam rub my back. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore.
I took my jacket off and a bag of money fell out. Matt picked it up.
"Damn.... Where'd you get all this?" Matt asked.
"I saved it." I said.
I took the rest out.
"Holy crap." Devo said.
"It's emergency money in case I had to go somewhere." I said.
"I had another bag but I used it on band aids and stuff like that." I said.
Matt gave me the bag back.
"Why band aids?" Sam asked.
"Uh... Because...."
"Skyler..." Hunter interrupted me.
"No it's fine... It's because I-I always... Had scratches.... I got them from people... Like.... My family." I said.
They all froze.
