Stealing The Bad Girl's Heart

Part 2: Chapter 10

College. The time of your life when everything changes. Change. Am I really ready? After everything we went through, everything we are going to go through, I'm not really sure.

While I'm in the car, on the drive to my new home for 4 years, I stare out the window. I observe the scenery. Trees. Lots of them. It was beautiful. Better than home in the city. Really quiet. The sky was filled with moving cotton ball looking clouds. Different. Everything was different. My mind then trailed over to the night everything changed. That night. Beautiful blessing, but curse. The night where I was with Scout and Mason. The girl that went missing. Where is she? How is she? Heather. Where are you.

"Skylar?!"

"Huh?"

"I called your name 10 times. I was wondering what you wanted to study?"

"Oh. Criminology."

"Babe. Thats a dangerous job."

"I know Raymond. I just want to be a detective and help others. Maybe in the Special Victims Unit."

"Law and Order?"

"Maybe."

"Haha. Okay. Well I wanted to become something good. Maybe a surgeon."

"Ugh gag! Cutting open bodies!"

"Aw stop. It's satisfying!"

"Haha okay. You do you."

"Maybe when we get married in the future we could move out to a beautiful place like this."

"Yea. Maybe."

I don't know how to feel. Married? He has been kind of distant lately. I haven't received a phone call or text from him in a week. He usually is the over protective type of guy. So when I don't receive a call or text, I feel like something bad happened. I can tell he's hiding something from me. Lets see how long this goes on for.  

We finally reached the campus. It was huge. Just a place I could get lost in. Raymond and I walked to the Guidance Office. A tall man with grey hair approached the both of us.

"May I help you?" he asked.

"Uh yea I'm Skylar Evans and this is my boyfriend Raymond Jones. We are upcoming freshman."

"Oh yes. New fresh meat. Come have a seat in my office the both of you." He led us into his office and pointed to two seats.

"So Ms.Evans I believe that you have signed up for criminology? But on your record, it says you were arrested? Not to invade your personal stuff, but mind explaining why you were?"

Raymond turned his head and looked at me with a confused face. I never told him I was arrested. Or even why I came here. Crap. Raymond doesn't know how to cooperate sometimes. 

"Excuse me. Can I just know my dorm number and go?" Raymond interrupted.

"Um why young man, your number is 4RM"

"Thanks." He took the key out of the man's hand and walked away.

"Ms.Evans. Did your boyfriend not know?"

"I kind of forgot I guess. Wasn't always important because it's not even my fault. Well, kind of."

"Mind explaining what happened?"

"Well, I used to hang out with the wrong crowd. I got caught up in weed and drinking. Stuff like that. I was at a party with my ex-boyfriend. The place was raided with police. Everyone was gone, except for me. I was only 17. So they caught me for underaged drinking, and possession of weed. I had to move out of my mom's house, and then move in with my father that abandoned me a long time ago. But I'm happy now. I changed my ways. Thats all in the past."
