Under the Same Sky

Hellfire (Pt II)

**TRIGGER WARNING**

*** QUICK A/N: the timeline is super weird here so just know this chapter happens in the span of a day

I was feeling everything and nothing at the same time. I knew he was going to leave, but I didn't think he'd leave like this. All I could think about is what I could do to hurt him the way that he hurt me. I kneeled  on the floor of my bathroom in front of my toilet, the vomit came naturally this time from all the crying. My throat was burning, and so were the tears. I felt like a shell of my own self. I flushed the toilet and laid on the floor in defeat for a little bit. 

I knew what I had to do. 

I grabbed my wallet, keys, and threw some random shit into a bag. I got in my car, put on 'My Girl is a Heartbreak' by Ida Mae and drove. He couldn't leave me if I left him first. I didn't even fucking know where I was going, but it was kind of exhilarating. I decided I'll probably just drive East and stay with friends along the way somewhere. I didn't care, I just needed to get the hell out of there. The only person I bothered to text was my boss, telling her I was taking some time off to sort through some things. She would understand. I drove for a little while longer deciding my first stop would be to visit my mother in Phoenix. 

I pulled up to my mom's house, not expecting what I saw. A big house with perfectly trimmed hedges and a white picket fence. Looks like her new boyfriend was treating her well. 

I ring the door bell awkwardly, not feeling fancy enough to be here. I looked down at my tattered acid wash jeans and Megadeth shirt feeling like the outcast I was. 

A stout man, who I assumed to be her boyfriend, answered the door. 

"Uh, can I help you?" He asked, clearly disgusted.

"Um, I'm Y/N, Lynn's daughter." I said

"Lynn!" He yelled. 

She came running to the door, surprised to see me, her eyes went wide. 

He looked at her in disbelief and asked if I could excuse them a minute. He closed the door in my face. I heard them from outside. 

"How the hell could you not tell me you had a fucking kid??" he yelled 

"I'm sorry, her dad died a few years ago, he was supposed to take care of her!" 

"Sorry? Is that why these massive payments have been taken out every fucking month?? Is that who you've been sending them to??" 

"Yes" she said, quieter

I wasn't sure what I heard, but it sounded like the loudest slap I had ever heard. Followed by a few whimpers. I should have felt worse than I did, but this fucking woman walked out on us, cheated on my dad because he was too sick and was 'gonna die anyway', and left me in that hell hole. I could never forgive her. She had reached out to me a few years ago, after the funeral. She said she would do what she could to make it up to me if I could just forgive her because she couldn't live with that weight on her chest. 

The door opened again and snapped me back to reality. 

"Hi Y/N" my mom said

"Don't worry, I'm not staying. I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to pay for the house anymore. I'm leaving." 

"Where are you going?" 

"You haven't cared for years, don't start now." I said, walking away. 

She looked at me in disbelief as I got in my car and drove away. 

**JOSH'S P.O.V.**

I went over to where Jenny was to see if Y/N was okay after the whole Jake drama. 

"Hey Jen, how's Y/N doing?" I asked timidly.

"Not so hot, she left though so she didn't have to see any more. I'm probably going to go check on her. She needs a friend right now." She said, worried. 

"Want me to come with you?" 

"No, if you leave it'll create more of a spectacle with Jake. I'll text you with updates." she said, kissing my cheek. 

She left and I went back to mingling with the rest of the guests, avoiding Jake at all costs. I was so upset, I couldn't even imagine what Y/N was going through. I wasn't even in the mood to drink, which didn't go unnoticed by Jake. He was pounding down his alcohol though, and so was his girlfriend, which meant one of them would be puking and the other would be drunkenly trying to care of the other. Not my problem. My phone starts ringing, and I leave the room to answer. 

"Josh oh my god Joshua" Jenny starts freaking out over the phone

"Babe what is it?" 

"It's Y/N, shes fucking gone. I have no clue where she is." 

Fuck.
