Always//Tanner Fox

Skylar's POV

I wanted to run after him but I couldn't. He needs space and I completely understand because I took my space when I found out. He was angry though and it's making it a lot harder to hold in tears. I don't know when he is going to walk back through that door or if he even will.

I don't know if he's mad because of the way I yelled and swore at him or if it's because I'm pregnant. I really hadn't intended on telling him that way but I was so angry and it just slipped out.

All of the thinking made my eyes fill with tears and I felt my back hit the wall. I slowly slid down and eventually felt the floor underneath of me. More tears fell and I brought my knees up to my face.

I heard a door open and a few footsteps made their way into my room.

"Sky?" A soft voice asked. I only looked up and didn't say anything.

Jacob weakly smiled "Do you need a hug?"

I just nodded my head and he made his way to me. He moved my knees away from my face and pulled me on my feet. Then he wrapped his arms around me and I cried even harder. I love Jacob a lot, he's one of my closest friends but I need a hug from Tanner to make me feel better. I really appreciate him being here for me though.

I gripped him tighter and he hugged me tighter too. When he pulled away, I heard more footsteps come down the stairs and I quickly wiped my tears hoping it was Tanner. I soon saw a familiar face walk through my bedroom door.....but it wasn't Tanner.

"Skylar, are you okay?" Bradley asked hugging me

The tears started to fall again "No. I know everyone expects me to be okay, but I'm not" I started to cry even harder "Nothing is okay!"

I felt myself sink to the floor

"Hey, hey, don't cry. It's going to be okay. You are going to be okay, I promise" Bradley said pulling me up from the floor. I softly sobbed and wiped the tears from my cheeks "I just want him to come home"

"He will, don't worry. He just needs some time to let it sink in" Jacob smiled trying to calm me

"I've known Tanner for a long time and I know how he feels about you. He would never ever abandon you, he just needs space" Bradley added in

"Thank you guys so much"

"Of course sky, we're you're friends"

"You should get some rest" Jacob smiled "you'll need it"

I nodded my head then laid in bed. Jacob covered me up and turned on a movie while Bradley went and got me some water and ibuprofen for my headache. Just before they left the room, Jacob brought Phoenix in to lay with me and they both said goodnight to me. When they left the room, I pulled the blanket up to my chin and closed my eyes. I soon fell asleep, hoping I would wake up tomorrow morning to see tanner.
