"You're kidding, right?" I asked her.
"Do I look like I'm joking Sky?" She asked seriously.
"So, what am I supposed to do? Leave everything I have here, just because my fucking dad decided to leave jail? I'm afraid of him too ma, put we can't run away from him every time he desides to show up, you know."
She was trully afraid of him and I knew it. And I could see it. She was with my uncle already 2 years now and I was happy about it, but it was kinda messed up. End up with his brother? He was way cooler tho, but that wasn't the point.
"After your show in Paris, we had an offer, which I never told you about." She said.
"The Royal Ballet offers you a scholarship in any Arts school you want to study in. They are all over the world, you can pick one, and we'll see. It's bassically a normal high school, you'll just have extra dance classes."
Fuck she was serious.
"Okay. I-I'll think about it." I said and she gave me a small smile.
"See you tomorrow, Imma go get some rest." I said and quickly ran up the stairs.
I told Ethan that I'll call him back, but now I had a lot on my mind. Moving? I wasn't ready to move.

"Sky, you'd better be fucking with me." Zay said and they both looked at me.
"I'm being serious." I said.
"But, are you sure, I mean, is it really happening, or?" Sissy asked.
"Uhm, I think so, yeah." I said.
This was so sad. I couldn't just leave them. I've never moved before, this whole thing was so new to me. I had friends all my life, so I wasn't sure how to find new ones.
"Can we come with you?" They asked.
"What?" I asked and they both chuckled.
"Why not? I play the piano and Zay draws. We can fit in an arts school." Sissy said.
"Well this doesn't depend on me. You'll have to talk to your parents and-"
"Oh you think that we are not good enough, huh?" Sissy cut me off and we all laughed.
"My mom hates me anyways." Zay said and took a bite of her hamburger.
"Daddy has his own ways, I can go anywhere I want to." Sissy said finally.

"But why, is she afraid of your dad?" Ethan asked as he fixed his hair.
We've been facetiming for 1 hour straight. It was like 2 am, but it was a friday night anyways.
"Yes actually, she is." I said.
"Can you tell me the whole story?" He asked and I got up.
We were already more than really close. I felt he knew more about me than I did for him.
"Since I was little, my dad was always the one who worked to keep the family going. When I was about 10, he had a problem at his job, so he was fired from the company. His best friend, Emilio, worked in the ghetto - he organized all the street fights. He involved him in and slowly he became really agressive. Towards my mom mostly, but me too..." I said and felt a tear roll down my cheek.
I remembered all the nights he came back home in the middle of the night, drunk and covered in the smell of cigarettes. He'll yell or break something. I remember myself hidding in my room and sleeping with my mom, crying onto her chest.
"You can stop if you want to Sky." He said.
"Please don't cry."
"No, no. I-I'll tell you the rest." I said and he nooded.
"There was this huge street-fight competition. One of the participants jumped out of the ring and started fighting someone from the audience. He was really agressive, so my dad and Emilio tried to calm him down. Apperantly it didn't work, so Emilio stabbed him with a knife or something. They were all drunk, so this was like a normal thing, you know. My dad was involved too, so they both ended up in prison for 4 years." I said.
"Have you seen him?" Ethan asked rubbing the back of his head.
"No, I don't really want to." I said.
"I'm so sorry Sky." He said.
"It's okay, I kinda told the whole story several times." I said and he gave me a small smile.
"Who is Emilio?" He asked.
"He, uhm, he is Kay's dad." I said and looked away from the phone screen.
Ethan's smile desapeared. He was now serious and scary. Kinda hot, but still.
"What's wrong with this fucking family?" He asked and I laughed.
"I've tried to figure this out for so many years E." I said.
His eyes were greenish and his lips puffy. His hair was all messy from the time spend in bed and I absolutely loved it this way. I missed him more than anytime now.
"Ethan?" I asked.
"Mm?" He said and turned his head back, so he was now facing me.
"Is there an arts school in LA?"
