"Oh shit the time, I have to get going, Max. I have a dinner to get to." I say giving her a little more money.
"Oh no, I don't need this Sky." She tries to give me my money back.
"No, keep it. Try to piss my brother off more by getting top on more games." I laugh making her laugh too.
"Okay, see you around Sky." She puts her hand out and I high-five it.
"See you around Max." I wave goodbye running to my car.
When I get to Barb's parent's house I see a for sale sign in their yard. I ring the doorbell and Mrs. Holland lets me in, "Hello Skylar, where's Nancy and Steve?" She looks behind me.
"They're probably on their way." I smile as she shuts the door behind me.
"Okay dear, I didn't have time to make dinner so I bought dinner instead. Hope that's okay sweetheart." She says as we walk to the dining room.
Soon Steve and Nancy show up amazingly, take a seat at the table with me. "You got here early," Nancy says.
"Yeah, I was out at the arcade and left there coming straight here." I smile as the Hollands take a seat at the table with us. As we eat, Nancy brings up the for sale sign and they go on about how they finally have hope of finding Barb. It hurts me because we know the truth and can't say anything to them.
Nancy excused herself, leaving Steve and me with them, "It's finger lickin' good." Steve says, making me judge him while eyeing him.
"Excuse me," I say, going to find Nancy. I get to the bathroom door and hear her crying inside, "Nancy, can I come in?" I asked, knocking on the door. She doesn't answer so I open the door myself then close it before going to sit next to her. "Why cry alone when we can cry together?" I force a smile before tearing up.
"Don't you feel terrible?" She cries.
"Of course I do but we have to go back out there and not look like a mess."

"LOOK HOW CUTE YOU ARE! SKYLAR, WHERE IS THE CAMERA?" My mother yells, scaring the shit out of me making me fall out of bed.
"DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" I jump up, getting dressed for the day.
"Oh, I want to see those pearls. Yeah! Who are you gonna call?" Mom says while taking pictures of Dustin.

"Aww look at how cute you are!" I mess up Dustin's hair.
"You're coming with us tonight right?" He asks, and my mother looked at me.
"That's the plan buddy." I smile at him, grabbing my keys heading out the door. I hop in to start the car and it doesn't start making me panic. Oh, what now?! "Fuck! MOM!" I yell, and she opens the door.
"Take the bus sweetie or ride your bike." She smiles, shutting the door, and I run to the bus stop.
When I got off the school bus I see Billy leaning against his car looking around. "You looking for something?" I asked, walking up to his car.
