Alone

Saying Goodbye

SKYLARS P.O.V
Life is good. Life is bad. Life is definitely complicated. I am so happy with Elijah he just treats me so right and he's just amazing, although it's really awkward with Luke. He's barely said 10 words to me since we broke up 3 weeks ago. I love Elijah, but I feel so bad about how me and Luke are practically strangers in the same house.

ELIJAH'S P.O.V
Me and Skylar as so happy! She's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend. She's my best friend and I couldn't bare the thought of losing her! Luke on the other hand doesn't talk to me or Skylar, I hate it but I can tolerate it. Skylar on the other hand is in pieces, she feels so bad about breaking up with Luke. I don't care that Luke's unhappy.....I'm happy and that's all that matters to me. Skylar will get over him eventually and if she doesn't...I'll make her.

LUKES P.O.V
I hate Elijah. Yes that might be a harsh thing to say about my brother but I don't care. He stole my girlfriend and I'm really unhappy and extremely jealous, and I'm not the jealous type but for some reason I am.

SKYLARS P.O.V
I think I'm going to take Luke out and talk to him. I can't live like this any longer, I can't stand us being strangers. I want Luke to be happy for me but I know he won't, do the next best thing I can do for him is let him know that I'd still love to be friends and hope that he does to. I eventually find Luke 'man this house is huge! Nope...wrong time to start gawking at a house Skylar, you've lived here long enough you should be used it by now, I guess I'm not though' he's lying outside on the deck chairs by the pool. I sit down next to him and start asking him if he's okay, he simply nods. He doesn't make eye contact or even turn his head towards me. "Okay look Luke this is getting ridiculous. It needs to stop. Can we please just be friends?! I really want to be, if you do?" Luke finally turns and looks at me, I can see he's thinking because he's crumpling up his nose, I've always thought it's so cute when he does that, after thinking for a while he comes out with "no, Skylar I'm sorry we can't be friends, if we be friends I'll start to like you again and I can't let myself  fall for you again because I know I can't be with you. So I'm sorry Skylar I'm going to have to decline" Luke then got up and walked inside. I was speechless, I didn't know what to do. I silently walk in to find Elijah. He was on the sofa playing Xbox. I sat next to him and he asked me if I was okay and as soon as he said that I broke down in tears. Elijah immediately stopped playing his game and hugged me. He asked me what's wrong and I told him what Luke had said. He told me that everything's going to be okay and that Luke will come around. Why do I doubt that entirely?

Although Luke doesn't talk to me and Elijah we still all sit down every night and eat dinner and then we all wash up together. Yes it's awkward but it's out functional dysfunctional family. After we had finished dinner and the washing up me and Elijah put on a movie, ate popcorn and had a move night. Luke went upstairs but came down again about an hour later. He turned the tv of at which me and Elijah started to worry and knew something was wrong. Luke sat in front of us both and he said " like Skylar said before, I can't do this anymore. I know things are really awkward and not like they used to be between us. So after a full day of consideration and convincing myself, I've decided that I'm going to move out and find my own place. I hope you two are very happy together and have a great life."
This left me and Elijah speechless, I felt myself about to break down in tears 😭
