In Time ≫ Taylor Caniff

Chapter 10

-RECAP-

I cuddle into my sheets and slowly drift off to sleep..

-Present Time-

I wake up the next morning and it takes about five minutes for me to actually get out of bed.

I change into a Neon Pink v-neck that says SWAG on it in black with a black tank top under it, ripped skinny jeans, Black Air Jordan's. I decided to straighten my hair and then put on Carter's Black beanie. I realized that I never gave it back to him. Eh, it's mine now.

I grab my phone and some money and walk out the door. I walk over to Matt's room open the door. Matt had Brooke pinned down on the bed and he was kissing her neck. "USE PROTECTION!" I yell and walk out.

I walk into Carter's room and open the door. He was listening to Grind On Me and grinding on the floor. "Oh god" I say. He looks over and sees me. He looses his balance and slips. I fell on the floor laughing. He was laughing too. "What's up?" He asks me. "Get up." I order and he does what I say. I grabbed his hand and led him out the door. "Where are we going?" He asks while laughing. "You'll see" I say while laughing. I go back into my room and go to Cameron's suitcase. I grab the keys to the rental car and take Carter's hand and lead him out. We get into the car and I start driving. On the way there we were jamming to Don't Tell 'Em, Confident, and Buy You A Drink. We pull in and I jump out of the car excitedly. "Why are we at a piercing and tattoo place?" Carter asks confused. I smirk at him and take him inside. A scary lady comes up to me and asks "Hi. Can I help you?" "Yeah um I'm getting a lip piercing." I say with a smile. Carter looks at me with wide eyes. "What type of lip peircing?" She asks. "Snake Bites" I answer.

-In The Car-

"Skylar. Cameron is gonna fucking kill you." Carter says sternly. "Not my problem" I say. "Damn girl." He says. We both laugh and I hand him my phone. "Choose a song." I say. He puts on Wild Life by Jack and Jack. (A/N: If you haven't listened to that song, I don't like you ✋)

We got back to the hotel and Carter snaked his arm around my waist. We walked into Cameron's room and all the attention was on us. Everyone's expressions were different. "I HATE YOU!" Brooke yells. "Why?" I ask confused. "I was suppost to go with you!" She yells. "I was coming to get you but you were to busy having sex with Matt!" I scream. Everyone looks at her with wide eyes. "I hate you" she says and pokes my nose. "Now your paying for mine when we go tomorrow." She says. "You want to get your lip peirced?" I ask. "Hell no! I'm getting my nose peirced!" She says. "No your not." Cameron says sternly. "Watch me." She says and grabs my hand. We go back to the shop and she decides on a small heart for her peircing.

We get back and she smirks at Cameron. My phone suddenly rings and I check the caller ID. Its my mom.

I haven't talked to her since our little fight we had..

FLASHBACK

I get home from school and see my mom and step-dad sitting on the couch looking extremely mad. "Skylar. You've failed all your classes and your grades are about the same as a seven year old. You are a disgrace to this family. We don't want you here. Pack your bags. And leave." My step dad says. Tears were brimming my eyes. "GO!" He yells while pushing me upstairs. I pack all of my stuff and stormed out of the house. I moved into a fair sized house, about 3 blocks away from Brooke. I was underaged at the time, but I couldn't have cared less.

END OF FLASHBACK

I answered the call and put my phone to my ear. "Yes?" I ask. "Skylar?" She asks confused. "Yes?" I repeat. "There is something extreamely important to tell you." She says. "Ok what is it?" I ask. "You remember your brother?" She asks quietly. "I have a brother?" I ask confused. "Yes you do. Remember when you were 5 and you guys would always go to the park together? He was a year older then you. You guys did everything together but you never saw him again when me and your father split up." All the memories of me and my brother flooded my mind. When we were little and we walked around the park together. How he would always hold my hand when I was scared. How we would always play together on the giant play set in my backyard. My mom interrupted my thoughts. "Skylar. Do you remember?" She asks. "Yes. Yes I remember." I say quietly. "Hun I'm so sorry but your last name isn't Reed. That's my last name. Your last name is Mendez. And your brother is Shawn Mendez." She says, her voice full of sorrow. I didn't know wether to thank her or yell at her about not telling me. "Okay." Was all I managed to choke out. She hangs up and I'm standing there in tears.

I was with my brother this whole time and I didn't even know it. I was sobbing by now. I got up and burst through the door. "Shawn." I say in between sobs. Everyone is looking at me confused and worried. "Skylar what's wrong?" He asks worried. "Shawn do you remember your sister?" I ask him. "Of course I remember my sister." He says. "Do you remember how you never saw her again because your parents split up?" I ask. "How did you know that?" He asks confused. "Shawn. Do you remember how you never saw her again because her parents split up?" I ask again. More tears streaming down my face. "Yes." He answers. "Shawn. What was your sisters name?" I ask. "Her name was Skylar." He says confused. "Shawn. When I was little I had an older brother. He was older then me by a year. We would do everything with eachother. We would go to the park together. We would sing together. He would hold my hand when I was scared and he would comfort me whenever I had bad dreams. Shawn. Your my brother." I say but I whisper the last part. "Skylar." He whispers before pulling me in for a hug. His grip was extremely tight, yet comforting.

The last thing I remember before falling asleep was Shawn kissing my forehead and saying "I love you Skylar.."
