3,000 Miles Away: Niall Horan

Chapter Two

Skylar's P.O.V

" Whatever, I never did that!" I said defending myself.

"Yes you did" Sammy argued back.

" Ladies calm down you both know I'm sexier than socks on a rooster" Lucas said sitting on the floor of the living room. ( Pic of Lucas on the side)

I picked up a pillow from the couch and threw it at him. They were staying over so we could be together as much as possible." That is a disgrace to Footloose." I said catching the pillow he threw back at me.

"Could one of you come and help me with supper? If you would like to eat anytime soon one of you better get in here." yelled Aunt Kay from the kitchen.

We all looked at each other. " Rock, paper, scissors." Lucas said, fist in hand. We always played it to solve our problems.

" Rock, Paper, Scissors, SHOOT!" Sammy yelled.  I threw down rock as did Lucas. Sammy threw down scissors. We had learned over the past years Sammy usually always put down scissors first, so she always ended up losing.

" Damn it! I always lose." Sammy said.

" Hop to it kitchen maid" Lucas smirked.

"I'm gonna spit in your food." She said dead serious and went into the kitchen.

" You know she's serious right?" I said.

" Ehhh, It'll be okay. It ain't gonna kill me." Lucas smiled.

Me and Lucas just sat there in silence. I don't know why we were always joking around. Whenever you had a guy like Lucas around there was never a dull moment. He was the jokester of the group, I was the fearless one, and Sammy was willing to do anything and everything. Even if it did get her put in jail.

 Lucas broke the silence. " Are you gonna miss this place?" he asked not looking up at me.

" Are you crazy? Of course I'm gonna miss this place. You guys are my family, I would never leave if I didn't have to. But I do." I answered.

" I'm gonna miss you too." Lucas said. He go up from the floor and came over to me.

He came up and hugged me tight. That was really unexpected. He wasn't really he one to show how he feels. I squeezed him back.

" I Love you Lucas, I'll never forget you or Sammy" I said into him.

I pulled away and he did to.

" Sammy get in here!" Lucas yelled into the kitchen.

Sammy came walking in with a hand towel thrown over her shoulder.

" What?" she questioned angered.

"I had some money saved back, so today I went and got us all something. Hold on" Lucas said and went into the other room.

Me and Sammy turned and looked at each other. " What do you think it is?" Sammy asked me, both of us sitting down on the couch.

"Who knows it could be something rally stupid knowing him." I said.

Lucas came back in the room holding the bag I didn't recognize from earlier.

" Since your moving halfway across the world, I want all of us to stay in touch." He said reaching his and into the bag. " I got us these." He pulled out two boxes and handed them to us.

We pulled the lids off ,inside was a white IPhone.

"Oh my god Lucas, I Love you right now." Sammy squealed, jumping up and giving Lucas a bear hug. She pulled away and came back to the couch.

" Oh and I got you guys a case too." he said handing us each 4 cases.

One of mine was a Ferris wheel in the dark, lit with colorful lights and the city in the background. Written on it said, " You have a choice, To LIVE or EXIST. Another was a picture of Sammy, Lucas, and Me at the lake last summer.  It said," A Best Friend Will never Forget You. The 3rd was just a plain picture of Us three walking down the road, holding hands. The picture was an old timey looking picture. It was taken from behind. The last one brought back memories of my Dad and Me. It was a Picture of me and Dad laughing together in the backyard of our old house. At the bottom written in fancy white writing it said, " Memories live on Forever"

Seeing it brought tears to my eyes. I blinked the tears back.

" What does yours look like" I asked leaning over so I could see.

She had the same one of us at the lake and the one from behind, us holding hands. Another one was A rainy day. Written in fancy writing was, " Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain. Her other one was a sunset and it said," Not all who wonder are lost."

"These are amazing. Thanks Luke." I said gratefully.

" Nothin to it." He said modestly, shrugging his shoulders.

" Supper's ready" Aunt Kay yelled from the kitchen. We all went to the kitchen.

*******************

After supper, we had a movie marathon. We watched Marley and Me. Sammy and I both in tears when he died. We watched Footloose, Forest Gump, E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Toy Story, and Grease. We stayed up till midnight.

" Night guys" I said sleepily laying down on the fort of blankets and pillow we had made previously on the living room floor.

"Night, Night" Sammy and Luke replied

We turned out the lamps and all went dark. The only sounds were the sounds of crickets singing their night song. I layed my head down on the pillow, blankets pulled over my arms. I stared up at the ceiling, my eyes slowly shutting, I drifted off into a deep sleep
