I recommend listening to Say Something by A Great Big World on repeat while reading this because that song always makes things sadder tbh
School was sadly coming to an end in a short two months. Usually I can't wait for school to get out, but this time I'm terrified because not only am I a senior that will be moving to college and leaving behind my best friends, my very best friend in the whole world is moving months before me, back to his dads.
I was just very grateful that he was able to find a foster family to keep him for the rest of the school year so I could still have him for longer than originally planned. I was trying to spend as much time with Jack and even the rest of the boys before we couldn't spend time with each other anymore.
The guys were the best thing in my life and I couldn't bare the thought of leaving them all or having them leave me. We all supported each other and were there for each other no matter what. It was like having 4 supporting brothers along with my amazing boyfriend.
I hated change and I didn't want things to change and be different, but sometimes you can't stop it.
I was in school when I received that life changing text. It was only the beginning of second period and I was bored in class, ignoring my teacher while I played on my phone, like the majority of the class. Jonah was also in that class with me as well.
From Corby
Skylar I love you so much. Thank you so much for being my friend and bringing the guys into my life as well. You have no idea how much you mean to me and I'm glad I could spend the last few months of my life with you guys. I love you so much and I'm so sorry. Please don't be sad, just know that i'm happy now. I hope that one day you'll forgive me. Goodbye Sky, I love you so much and I'm so sorry.
I read the text with confusion plastered all over my face.

I was pretty sure I knew exactly what he was meaning.
I began hyperventilating as I set my phone down on my desk, looking around the class frantically for an escape.
I didn't know what to do, if I should tell someone, call 911, go see him, I didn't know.
"Miss Mitchell, is something wrong?" The teacher asked me, concerned with my sudden behavior. I looked over at Jonah to see him staring at me as well his concern evident too.
"I have to go. I need to go." I grabbed my phone and jumped up, rushing out of the classroom. I began running down the hall before I heard Jonah calling after me.
"Skylar wait!" Jonah yelled, so I slowed down, allowing him to catch up to me so I could tell him. "Skylar, what the hell is going on? Are you ok?" He asked, grabbing onto my arms and looking into my eyes.
"I got a text from Corbyn. Jonah I'm scared I don't know what to do." I began frantically speaking, barely audible as I was speaking so fast.
"Sky calm down. What text?" He stared straight at my eyes, trying to calm me and grab my attention.
