We Need That 'One Thing'

#20 Skylar's Mother. Part I (Skylar)

PRIVYET!!

Yep. That means hello in Russian. From now on, I am going to write hello in different languages. 

If you have a language, and comment on my chapter, the FIRST one will be the language.

This chapter kinda makes me wonder how parents can act like this. 

*wags finger*

SHAME ON YOU SKYLAR'S MOM!!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Skylar came home about eight o'clock and threw her keys on the table right next to the door. She went over to the refrigerator to get some food. MAN WAS SHE HUNGRY! Niall and Louis pretty ate all the food and she was really ticked off now.

She automatically began thinking of the only thing that can make her calmer right now.

Oh Zayn, I love you so much. With your perfect hair, and sweet, brown eyes, and calm voice. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO-

Her thoughts were cut off by her mom.

"Skylar. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU FOR HOURS AND YOU HAVENT PICKED UP!! WERE YOU OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS AGAIN?!!? I thought Sophie was a good example on you. Always studying for her tests. I thought you were smart. NOT AN IDIOT!!" her mom screamed.

"Mom. Calm down we had a study session. We were studying and-" Sky was cut off again.

"FOR FIVE HOURS?!?! HOW COULD YOU BE STUDYING FOR FIVE HOURS?!?!" her mom said.

Skylar could never tell her mom that she was in a band. Her mom would kill her. Whenever she went to practice, she told her mom that she was going to study with Sophie because Sophie was the second smartest out of all of them. She was the smartest and they all knew that. Her mom would KILL her if she didnt get higher than a 95 on her tests, and would be furious if her overall grade was below a 95 too. All her mom cared about was grades, and she almost never let her hang out with her friends. 

When Skylar was ten, her mom told her that she had to focus more on school, and quit drum lessons since she was going to middle school. Her mom told her that she had to become either a lawyer or a doctor, and that she didn't want to hear anything more about music, or acting, or anything like that. Only school. School. School. School. Thats it. But when she went to sixth grade and met The Cupcakes, they encouraged her to get back behing that drum set and drum like her life depended on it. 

And her mom never found out.

"Yes. For five hours. All the girls were there. And we went to eat too, so that took up an hour." Skylar said, trying to seperate the times so it would seem like less. 

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HOME BY SEVEN!! I TOLD YOU. SEVEN!! AND YOU DIDN'T LISTEN. As usual." her mom yelled.

Which actually wasn't true. Skylar was ontime for EVERYTHING. And she always did what her mom asked because she was afraid of what she would do to her, or what she would find out about her.

She tried to seem like the perfect daughter, so that her mom wouldn't suspect anything.

"Okay mom. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I guess I lost track of time. There was a lot to go over." Skylar said, giving in.

"NO. These days, you have been spending WAY to much time with those friends of yours. You have been coming home late, and your grades have slipped from a 97 average, to a 95. That will not be tolerated. You cannot spend anymore time with those girls. They have been a bad influence on you, and I will not stand for this. I want my daughter to be a doctor, or a lawyer when she grows up, not a cashier in a super market. Now tell me what you were really doing with those girls today and why it took you so long." Her mom said, staring into her eyes, trying to break her inside.

And it was working.

Skylar has never had to do something like this. She was trying to find an excuse but it wasnt working. She wasn't a good liar. She never lied. Her friends told her that lying isn't a good thing and that she should never do it unless its to protect her, her family, or her friends. 

But her mom can't do this to her. Things were just starting to go great for her and her friends. I mean...ONE DIRECTION WANTED TO GO ON TOUR WITH THEM. THE BIGGEST BOY BAND IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. Oh god, how was she supposed to tell her mother about that? What if they decidde to go on tour?

"I...we...um...well...uh..." Skylar was just horrible under pressure. Especially with her mom.

"I knew it. You weren't studying. I am going to ask you one more time. What. Were. You. Doing. Today?" her mom said, the anger filling up in her eyes.

Skylar couldn't do it. She just couldnt. She just burst.

"OKAY MOM. I WAS AT SOPHIE'S HOUSE. But...we weren't studying. We were playing...our instruments...for One Direction." Skylar said. She was about to cry.

"Yeah right. Now tell me the truth." Her mom said, crossing her arms. 

"No. It's true." Skylar said.

"How could the biggest boy band in the world, be at Sophie's house. Hearing you play. You don't even play any intruments anymore!"

Skylar just looked at the floor.

"Skylar..."
