Chapter 28
2 WEEKS LATER
I had ran out of food yesterday. I had no money. So I went and did the one thing I knew how to do.
Sing.
I walked a couple blocks down from the hotel. I took a deep breath and started to sing. Before I knew it people were video tapping me. A few people gave me money but not enough for anything.
A few hours later I went back to the hotel. I sat in my room by the phone for a while. I called the boy person I knew... My mom.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Mom..." I said.
"What do you want?" She said.
"...What..." I said.
"Oh your little boy toy didn't tell you? He called me when your dad kidnapped you. I was part of your dad's plan the whole time. I told him to hit you, you selfish bitch."
I didn't say anything.
"We aren't your real parents either." She said.
"W-where are they?"
"Hell if I know." She said then hung up.
Now I really was alone... There was a knock on the door.
"Have you found a place to go yet?" The guy asked.
"Yes. Can i stay one more week though... They are on vacation." I said.
"I guess." He said.
"Wait." I ran and got a bag of my money.
"I'm sorry Sam." I said to myself.
"Here." I said handing him the bag.
He left. That had almost two hundred dollars in it.
ONE WEEK LATER
Today was my last day. I hadn't eaten in days. I packed all my stuff and called someone.
"Hello?"
"Sam..." I said.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I-I'm getting kicked out... And.... Uh... M-my parents... A-aren't my real..." I couldn't say it.
"Oh. Skyler. I'm so sorry." Sam said.
"Sam... I have to go." I said.
"Skyler... Be careful... Please." Sam said.
"Ok. If I don't talk to you again... Thank you, for everything. I love you Sam." I said.
"I love you too Skyler." We hung up.
I couldn't move... A few minutes later the phone rang.
"H-hello?" I answered.
"Skyler." It was Hunter.
"Skyler... I'm sorry... I-I never meant t-to hurt y-you." He was crying.
"Skyler... Please say something..."
"I... I... Why?" I said.
"Skyler. Rachel put something in my drink. I had no idea what was going on. She tricked me. I... I'm so sorry Skyler..." He said.
"I... Have nowhere to go. I have two hours to get... Out of here..." I said.
"Come back... With me..." Hunter said.
"I miss you so much. I'm so sorry. I love you Skyler, so much." Hunter said.
"How?" I said.
"I'll get you a plane ticket."
"Hunter..."
"We will work this out. I know i hurt you but Skyler... I love you so much. I've been a mess without you... I need you." Hunter said, like he had that night.
I couldn't say anything.
"Please come home to me..." He said.
"...Ok." I said.
"I will make it up to you. I promise." Hunter said.
"I... I love you Hunter." I said.
"I love you too Skyler."
We were there in silence for a few minutes, both crying.
