Skylar's POV

My bedroom door swings open and Mariana stands there holding a pizza, a huge smile on her face. "What?"

"I have a boyfriend!" she exclaims,

"Hey! You got my pizza!" I exclaim back and her smile fades,

"Bitch, let me have my damn moment."

"Sorry, you have a boyfriend!" I exclaim, "Wow, I'm single and you're not."

"That's weird..." she says, "Hopefully my boyfriend doesn't turn out like your ex."

"Hopefully not, he's my brother, I taught him better than that." I respond and she sits on my bed, handing me my pizza. I smile and take the entire box, she looks at me,

"I picked it up, you're not even going to offer me a piece?" she asks and I look at her, my mouth full with a bite of pizza,

"You literally just went out to dinner." I respond and she looks at me,

"I hate you."

"What do you know? You and I both hate me!" I say, taking another bite. My door slowly opens and Sawyer peeks his head through,

"I just wanted to say goodnight," he says and I furrow my eyebrows, he looks to Mariana, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight." she smiles and he smiles widely at her. Aw, I'm so happy they're both happy but ew gross. He shuts the door and I sit there, cringing with my mouth full of pizza. "Wait! Don't move!" she exclaims and takes a picture of me. I laugh as she shows me,

"Oh, my God I'm so ugly!" I exclaim and she laughs, "So, what'd you think about the date?" I ask, shutting the pizza box, she stares at me,

"You made us pick up a pizza you were going to eat two slices of?" she asks and I nod,

"Yeah." I respond, "Now, how was the date?"

"It was amazing. He asked me out officially at sunset on the beach. And then we just watched it. And at dinner we talked about anything and everything, there's so much about him I didn't know."

"Like what?" I ask and she shrugs,

"Stuff you wouldn't care about and would tease him for."

"I'd only tease him because that's what older sisters do to younger brothers." I respond, "Just please don't tell me every time you come over it'll be for Sawyer and when we hang it's all Sawyer Sawyer Sawyer."

"I promise that will not happen."

"Thank you." I say, "You can have a piece of that pizza, if you want."

"No, I'm so full." she says and I laugh, "Did Jack ever message you?"

"Yeah. He just did and he told me he couldn't tell me." I look at her, "I was going to continue hounding him until he told me, but he blocked me."

"That's so rude." she says.

Grayson's POV

"Jack?" I exclaim,

"I'm in the shower!" he yells back and I roll my eyes. His phone dings and I look at the notification: 'skylardavis sent you a message'

What the hell? The showers still running, so I enter in his phone passcode, he's not good at these things, and open Instagram. I respond to her message, which was her asking him where I was.

None of this adds up, she said she didn't want to see me again, that she had given up on me. Why is she messaging Jack trying to find me? And how did she even find Jack?

I type back, "I know where Grayson is, yes, but I can't tell you, I'm sorry" and wait for her response, which comes quickly after, "Then why'd you come to my house asking if I knew where he was?"

What the hell does she mean came to her house? I delete the conversation and block her, putting his phone away and sitting down.

"No notifications?" he walks out fully dressed, "Damn, guess I really don't have any friends."

"When did you go to Skylar's house?" I ask and he turns around,

"I didn't, I don't even know where she lives, man."

"I know you went, she said so herself."

"Does that mean you're talking to her?" he smiles and I shake my head,

"No, she messaged you on Instagram!"

"How do you know my passcode?" he gasps,

"Your birthday? Really, dude?" I ask and he goes onto his phone, probably changing the passcode. "Why would you go back there?"

"I don't owe you an explanation."

"You do since it's my business you're barging into!"

"You made it my business when you ran away and moved in with me to get away from them! I was trying to help you, dude. All I have done is help you! Feel free to leave if you think otherwise!" He exclaims,

"Fine! Ill be out of here by tonight!" I exclaim,

"Good! I have work." he storms out and I sigh, grabbing my bags and packing up everything. I grab my keys and walk down to my car, throwing my bags in there and going on my phone, there's no one I know anywhere that would let me stay with them. I groan and open my glove box, grabbing out the sock I stash my money in, counting it up to 300 dollars. I look up hotels around me and quickly go to one, booking a room and going up, dropping my bags on the floor and sitting on the end of the bed, looking around the empty room. "Guess this is home for now..."

Skylar's pov

"Ugh! What is that awful noise?" Mariana says, pulling her pillow over her head.

"My phone."

"It's two in the morning!" she exclaims and I reach around my bed, squinting at the number on the screen. It could be Grayson, so I answer it.

"Hello?"

"Is this Skylar?"

"Who is this?" I ask,

"It's Jack."
