Skylar's POV

"Today's the day!"

"I get to go lay in my bed all day instead of this bed all day?" I ask and my mom nods,

"Yup!" she smiles and I raise my eyebrows, "I have to go fill out the discharge papers, Ill be back."

"Okay." she walks out and Sawyer walks over,

"There's a surprise for you at home."

"What is it?"

"It's a surprise, nice try." he says and I roll my eyes.

"I have a question for you." I say and he looks at me, "Do you like Mariana?"

"What?"

"Do you like Mariana? Like, do you like-like her?"

"Like-like?" he asks, "What, are we in fourth grade?"

"Shut up and answer the question."

"She doesn't like me, so it doesn't matter."

"How do you know that?" I ask and he looks at me,

"I'm going to the car."

"Think about it!" I exclaim as he walks out. "Sawriana hmm...has a nice ring to it."

A nurse wheels in a wheelchair and says she has to wheel me out. I sigh and sit in it. We go outside and I get into the car, looking at Sawyer. "Come on, just ask her out on one date and see how it goes."

"No."

"You never know if you don't try." I say and he looks at me,

"Take your own advice with Ethan and move on from friends. Grayson isn't even here to make you feel awful about it." he says and I glare it him,

"Damn, are you turning into Sophia now?" I ask and he flips me off. I smirk and he puts his headphones in. My mom starts to drive home and I pull one of his earpods out,

"What the hell?"

"Tell me the surprise and I won't hound you about her anymore."

"We're five minutes away."

"You like her." I respond, "Ill just get her to ask you out."

"Screw off." he says and I roll my eyes. My mom pulls into the driveway and she grabs my bag,

"Okay, let me go inside first." she says and I get out of the car,

"I have an itch, how do I even--" I say and raise my hand with the cast on it. "What the hell?"

"I don't know get a back scratcher or something." Sawyer responds, "Heard from Sophia since the whole family argument?"

"Nope, has she been home?"

"No, I think she's staying at Jakes."

"She's a bitch, whatcha gonna do about it?" I say and my mom tells me to come in. I open the door and a little puppy runs up to me. "Oh, my god!" I kneel down and he runs onto my lap, sniffing me and then nudging me to pet him. "You got a dog?"

"Your dad and I thought it was a good time, especially since you two wouldn't stop begging us for one." she says, "His name is Max."

"Aw, Max." I smile and pet him, "Sawyer, call Mariana!"

"Give it a break, Sky!" he says,

"I have one hand I can use and it's petting the pup, so please call her and tell her to come over but don't tell her we got a dog." I say,

"Sorry." he says, walking into the kitchen. My phone starts buzzing and I reach to grab it hoping it's Grayson, but it's a random number so I ignore it.

Grayson's POV

"Online school sucks." I grab a beer from the fridge,

"You could be stuck in a hot school with douchebag teachers learning useless shit surrounded by fake ass people, be thankful." he says,

"Damn." I respond, "Did someone hurt you?"

"Everyone's fake nowadays."

"You're right." I sigh and he looks at me, "What?"

"You ever going to call?" he asks and I take a sip of my beer,

"Not planning on it." I say, "I even changed my number so none of them can reach me."

"Dude."

"I need to move on from them."

"They're you're family."

"I know my mom and dads and sisters and brothers number by heart, when I feel it's time to call them I will." I respond,

"Your parents are probably worried sick, you're really going to leave them wondering?" he asks and I look at him, "Call them and tell them you're safe."

"I just changed my number."

"So do the star number whatever thing that makes it unknown." he suggests and I look at him, "Hopefully they'll answer."

"Fine, just because you're hounding me about it." I say, going into the other room. I call my parents and they answer immediately,

"Hello?"

"Mom?"

"Grayson! Where are you? Are you okay?"

"Mom, Im fine. I'm safe. I'm doing school online."

"Okay, good, good." she says, calming down, "But are you out of your mind? Leaving without telling us where you are or giving us any explanation?!"

"Mom..."

"Get your ass home!"

"Mom, I can't do that yet." I say, "I got a new number, so I won't be answering the old one. And I'll call you guys once a week and let you know everything that's going on."

"Grayson--"

"I love you, mom, I gotta go." I hang up and sigh. Going to my contacts and looking for Skylar's number. She won't answer, don't even bother.

But she might, maybe she'll be looking for me. Maybe she'll miss me. I groan and press the call button, not bothering making it unknown. As it rings, my hope that she'll answer goes up. But it keeps ringing until it goes to voicemail. I sigh and listen to her voice on the message box thing. Blanking out, I stay silent, then quickly hang up. She doesn't care about me, not that she should.
