Unbroken

Chapter 35

***Skys POV

I sat on my bed and hear the front door slam shut. She left me. Everyone leaves me. Cat, Christopher, and now Claire. I'm such a loser. I take a look at the half drink bottle of jack. What am I doing? I stand up really quick frightened by my appearance. I'm becoming my father. Angrily I smash the bottle to the mirror. Shards fly everywhere and I duck with my hands over my face. The fragments fall to the ground with a shatter and I fall to my knees in defeat. What have I done? Throwing my face in my hands I sob like crazy. Unable to breathe I sit up and choke down my tears. I get out my phone and contemplate who to call. I need help cleaning up and I don't wanna be alone right now. I can't call Cat. She hates me.

I text Claire, "I'm sorry...please come back. The mirror broke."

***Cats POV

We reach the end of the movie with tissues, chocolate, and our redhot ranch popcorn all over the floor. I'm clutching Vids arm as we all cry tears of joy. We start laughing at our pathetic mess and Sammi says, "maybe we should have a girls weekend."

"A girls weekend?" I ask.

Vid spoke up, "YEAH! Like a get-a-way vacation for three days."

Claire asks, "but where?"

"What about Eagle River? My dad owns a cabin up there on the lake. We could use it for the weekend," Sammi suggests.

We all nod and I say, "thanks guys. I really need that."

"We ALL need that sweetheart," Sammi said laughing.

Claire's expression becomes alarmed, "I'll be back! Sky needs me."

She flies out the door and we look at each other wondering what just happened.

***Skys POV

I lay down next to all the shards possibly on some. Claire's not coming. She doesn't care. No one cares. Now i know how Christopher felt. I just wish I knew how it happened. How he killed himself. My baby brother killed himself. I let out a sob. I should've wrote back, I should've let him come with me. Just then my bedroom door is flung open and Claire falls next to me running the glass out of my hair.

"Oh Sky..."she cooed.

I sit up and look at the broken mirror. God help me.

"Are you okay?" she asks touching my face.

I nod,"just fine..."

She grabs a broom and dust pan then sweeps the wood floor. After vacuuming a few thousand times she goes under my bed in search of more glass. She slowly crawls out and sets down my box.

"What's this?" she asks curiously.

I pause, "look inside."

She slowly and unsurely peers inside to look. Pulling out the opened letters and a the pictures and song lyrics all that's left Is a guitar pic and the unopened letters from Christopher.

"Who are these from?" she asks opening an already opened one. She reads it and her Face turns to sadness.

"Oh sky.." she whimpered.

I look down at the box and pick up an unopened one. There's four of them.

I read aloud, "Skylar...everyday that goes by that I don't hear from you makes things even worse than they already are. There's no sign of you and it makes me feel as if I am really alone in this world. Well you know how mom and dad are forcing me to be with my girlfriend Taylor?...well I met this guy at the park on the way home from Taylor's house. Or in other words "The Compton Mansion." Anyway his name is Xavior...and I really like him. But you know..Wouldn't work out. Remember I'm not aloud to be gay. It would ruin dads "title." Anyhow..the rumors are worse. Taylor asked me if I'm gay. I didn't tell her the complete truth. She going to break up with me and dads going to beat the shit out of me. Well more than usual I guess. Oh well. I guess I'll write again in a few days...love Christopher."
