Trust (A Nash Grier Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

New Interests

I am now in California. Yes, that is the first stop for Magcon, but I've always wanted to live here. The weather is always perfect and sunny, the beach water is beautifully clear, and there's no one around that will know I'm here.

What's the chance the Magcon tour is in the exact same city I'm at? Not a big chance.

I had saved up a lot of money. I remember starting to save when I was 10 or 11. I have a lot of money. Shawn and I used to sing for tips and I was a babysitter for the neighbor's kids.

I bought a beach house. It has a lot of rooms, but I like it being roomy. It has the most beautiful view I've ever seen. There was never anything like this in Toronto.

I realize that if the boys were in the same place I was for Magcon, they would be here tomorrow morning. They couldn't possibly be in the same place I was, could they?

I shake the thought from my head. My phone goes off.

1 New Voicemail

Since when had I gotten a call? Oh well. I call my voicemail and it was a lady speaking:

'If this is Skylar Mendes, please call back. We have called regarding that your mother is dead and your father is in jail. Since you are under the age of 18, and have no other supervision, you will have to stay in an orphanage. Please call us back. Thank you for your cooperation.'

What? I am absolutely not going to an orphanage. I'll just not call back. Better yet, I'll block the number.

I change into my turquoise swim suit with a white coverup and go to swim.

When I get into the beach, I see them. The Magcon boys are here. Fuck. Really? Nash sees me. He's the only one. The rest are tanning or in the water.

Nash stands up and walks over to me, "Why would you do that? I thought I'd never see you again."

"I know. I just can't handle it anymore. The last straw was when my dad came. I realize everything started when I met you guys. My life was bad before, but it's worse now."

"Don't say that."

"I have to go. Just please, leave me be. I came out here to be alone."

I start to walk away, but Nash grabs my wrist. I'm facing away from him. "Sky. Are you really going to leave me? Leave all of us? Jack Johnson is still missing, Cameron and Brent haven't called back either. I'm afraid something happened to them."

Tears fill my eyes and my vision blurs. "That's your problem now." I didn't want to say that, and I didn't mean it. I have to move on. That means not worrying about any of them anymore.

"Skylar. What happened to you? I don't even know you anymore."

"Good. That's how it should've always been. I never should have even met any of you."

"Sky, I love you."

"Nash..." There is a long pause until I speak again, "I love you too, but I have to go."

I walk back to my house. I look out my window and still see everyone there. Nash looks devastated. He's talking to Taylor and he gets a sad look on his face too.

Am I really this important to them? I'm just some girl. I'm just Shawn's younger sister. I'm just me. There's nothing special about me.

I really do love Nash, more than anything. It's just best for everyone if I just leave and everyone forgets about each other.
