The Long Journey Of Being Unwanted {Editing}

Chapter 29

Summer's POV

I wake up with my blanket on the floor and my pillow in between my legs.

"Rough night?" Zyler asks looking at me. I shrug and sit up. I instantly feel dizzy and fall back on the bed.

"Cameron is at school, I don't know when you want to go but I thought I'd let you sleep in today," He smiles while placing a plate of food on the table next to my bed.

"Thanks," I smile while sitting up again, but slower this time. My phone starts ringing as I pick the plate up and start eating. I answer the FaceTime call from Mark. He was still laying in bed, his eyes red and puffy. 

"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask as I take the first bite of the scrambled eggs. 

"I miss you. I know how like... ridiculous that sounds because you only left yesterday... But God I miss you so much." A tear slides down his cheek as the words slide off his tongue. 

"I miss you too." I manage to get out without crying. 

"You'll visit soon, right?" He asks. Zyler left the room once I answered the call. I get up and shut the door before answering him. 

"I can't... This family doesn't really have a lot of money and I doubt my father will let me visit anyway. Mark, I can't even do dance here," I mumble as tears well up in my eyes. 

"I could visit out there. Where do you live exactly?" He asks.

"I'll text you the address later. But Don't feel the need to come here. I'll always be a phone call away if you ever need me," I smile slightly at him. He nods.

"I got to go. I'll talk to you soon Summer," He sighs. 

"Ok. Bye Mark," I mumble before the call disconnects. I hear screaming in the room next door and get up. I open the door and walk into Parker and Zoe's room. Like I suspected, the little infant was crying. I pick her up and cradle her. She's back to sleep instantly. 

"You're really good with babies," A familiar voice says behind me as I place the baby in the crib. I gasp as I turn around to see my father standing in the doorway.
