Harry finished his practice. He was completely sweaty and ran to me and gave me a really sweaty hug.
"Gross Styles" I sad pushing him away. He looked really funny. His hair pushed back with a hairband. He had black shorts and the school's shirt. His soccer shoes and long socks. He looked at me and eyed me up and down.
"So how was detention?" Harry mentioned while walking back home.
"Honestly it was the worst thing ever. New kid tried to get me in more trouble and Louis and Liam and ugh I ht this" I blurted all out really fast.
"Wow wow wow there missy. Calm down. What happened with the we kid?"
I told him the whole story about him escaping and Zayn leaving. I also told him about how Louis was bong annoying. Harry understood me. He knew Louis as much as I did. Louis and Harry used to be best friends before high school. But Louis became really annoying. God knows why.
I finished ranting and Harry looked at me with a 'you're crazy but I love you face'. This made me laugh.
"By the way. Who's that Liam kid you mentioned?" Harry asked.
"Well he's apparently e new mentor. How fun is that? I have to do volunteering and I need a mentor. These are probably going to be the worst months of my life. Plus he's a dork. He tried to shake my hand. Who does that anymore?"
I ranted some more about Liam's dorkiness and Louis being annoying and Zayn.
Harry gave me a big hug before I entered my house.
As soon as I opened the door, the faint noises of a fight filled my ears. It captivated my attention when I noticed that it wasn't the usual mom-dad fight. It was a fight between my older sister Tara and my parents. What had she done now? Last time she had stolen my parents' money for Austin's medicine.
She was here. After doing this to us? Austin almost died becaus of her. He didn't have enough insuline and all because of Tara.
I walked slowly to the kitchen where everything was happening. I peeked my head through the door and saw her.
Her blond dyed hair burned from all the straightening. Her face 99% covered with makeup. She was wearing a Burberry Coat while we didn't have enough insuline for a little boy. I ran to her and pushed her.
She looked at me incredulously. She pushed me harder and I fell on the groud. I wasn't going to let her win again. This time I grabbed my hand and slapped her as hard as I could. She fell to the ground while holding he right cheek.
"What is wrong with you little bitch?" she snapped rubbing we cheek harder.
"Nothing's wrong with me. On the other hand, everything is wrong with you. Austin is dying and you're using stolen money to get coats? Just go away and dot come back Tara. You would do us all a favor."
I was sobbing at the moment. I couldn't control the tears falling from my eyes. I remember when we were young. We were pretty much best friends until she met her new boyfriend.
She looked at me and smiled, still holding her cheek. "Well well well I see you got the balls to say stuff now huh? I don't like that" she scoffed. I wanted to slap her again. I stood up and raised my hand and I felt someone stopping my hand. It was Louis. I don't know how he got in but he had stopped me.
I don't know why he did that. He's an idiot as I said before. My mom didn't even try to stop us. She just left as soon as I pushed Tara. I love how our family is supportive.
Tara stood up and left the house without saying a word she took her coat and her Louis Vuitton handbag with her and closed the door of her new car exiting the driveway.
"Are you kidding me Louis? What were you thinking? She deserved that and much more. You're such and idiot. LEAVE just leave now. " I punched him an pushed him to the door.
"Skylar. Stop it right there. She didn't deserve any of that. You can't simply resolve things with violence. It will never work. It will make things worse. So let it go and come here" he said soothingly. He pulled me into a hug and I hugged him back. It felt so good having someone care about me. Even if it was that idiot/annoying kid from my neighborhood.
"Thanks. I guess it's true. She didn't deserve that. But I have to find a way to fix this cause I don't know that I'll be able to stand this anymore. By the way. How did you get in?" I asked curiously.
"Well your door was open. I heard you screaming so I came in to see what was going on. Then I realized your mom had left and she didn't shut the door." he blurted out.
"I'm sorry you had to go through all this." Louis said. He wasn't that bad after all. He was just trying to help.
"Well. I guess I'll see you next week at detention right?" he said pulling me into a hug.
"Yeah. I'll see you around " I said back to him.
I followed him to the door and mouthed to him "Thanks". He just looked at me apologetically and crossed the road to his house.
------------------------------------
"Austin! Where are you?" I had been looking for him for over an hour and he was nowhere to be seen.
He was definitely scared from all the rush going on in the house and I absolutely understood but this was crazy. I looked under the sofa, under his bed, the closet and even in the basement and I couldnt find him at all and this was definitely a first.
I called Louis wondering if maybe Austin was with him and nothing. I was starting to get worried. A lot.
"Austin!! Seriously come out. You're scaring me." I screamed. Nothing happened.
I gave up and say in a chair. I'm sure he'd be back home soon. Suddenly, the doorbell rings.
"Who is this?" I asked. Before Waiting for a response I opened the door and saw Austin. But he wasn't alone. The dorky kid, Liam, had his hands on my brother's shoulders.
"Oh Skylar you live here?" Liam said
"Yeah, are you kind of a stalker or something?" I snapped at him.
"Hey, I saw Austin walking around while I was driving home. So I decided to pass by and drop him off. He was really far away from the house" Liam said.
"AUSTIN! Why would you even go on a stranger's car. That's the number one rule you booger face. " I said punching him slightly in the arm and hugging him afterwards.
I signaled Liam to come in and I closed the door behind him.
"First of all, Liam is not a stranger and second of all I'd much rather be with him than any of you guys" Austin said. That broke my heart. I love him with all my heart. He's the only reason I was still in this house.
"How do you know this dork then?" I managed to say.
"He's not a dork and he volunteers in my class and he's awesome" Austin said fist punching Liam.
I rolled my eyes and turned to Liam.
"Well you can leave now." I opened the door and signaled him to go out.
He left without saying a word. Austin looked at me and rolled his eyes.
"You're so mean Skylar" Austin said stomping back to his room.
