You're the only thing keeping me alive.

Chapter Four~

Skylar's POV~

I pulled the sheets over my head, hoping to get some sleep.

When I got home everyone was either at school or work so I had the whole apartment to myself. I chuckled. I come home to an empty house that won't have any adult in it for hours and I sleep. I'm such a normal teen.

I rolled over to my side and stretched out my legs into my usual sleeping position. I could have fallen asleep easily if it weren't for the fact that the meeting with Casey was still running through my mind. She was... odd, and I really didn't know how I felt about her yet.

But it doesn't matter. I'll probably never see her again, even if she did go to Mason its not like ever i planed on ever going there anyway. But, for some reason, she just kept running through my head and I liked thinking about her. She wasn't gorgeous by any means, gorgeous was a word to explain the beauty of someone exceptionally beautiful. Casey was more than that. Even though I was definitely attracted to her, she gave me this odd feeling that I didn't quite like.

Somehow she made me feel... better. Better than I am.

And I didn't like that at all. I had gotten used to being treated like shit and it felt normal, comfortable even, and I didn't like the feeling I got when she shook my hand and asked if I was okay. I didn't need a babysitter, Im a person who can take care of himself and i have been since I was 9.

"Sky!? You ready for school?" The voice was tempting, smug even. "You're already late."

"I'm not going." I yelled.

"If you dont go willingly I'm going to haul your ass down the stairs and drive you there in you're boxers."

I growled into my pillow. Life just got shitty.
