*book 1* The Nightmare They Call Life

Chapter 28

I woke up and Skylar was already awake, she smiled at me and that smile said it all. She looks as if she wants to tell me something exciting.

"Hey beautiful, how was your sleep?" I asked.

"Great as always, how was your sleep."

"Great as always." I said mimicking her.

"Do you know what day it is?" She asked me.

"A day." I said not knowing what day it actually was.

"It's Friday, isn't Luke suppost to come over this weekend?"

"Yeah. Isn't he staying like the whole weekend?" I asked her.

"Yeah. If you want him to." She said.

"Yeah. It'll be fun." I said.

"Ok." She said as I got ready for school.

We both were ready for school in under 10 minutes, that's what I love about her she gets ready fast, most girls take an half an hour to an hour to get ready and she only takes 10 minutes, she's very special.

We walked to school instead of driving because we still had a lot of time left to kill. We talked about Florida and what she imagined it would be like. She's never been to Florida but I have. I actually lived down there my whole life until I moved up here and met Skylar and Luke and Maia.

Flordia is warm and cool. It rains a lot and there are swimming pools inside of the hotels. My parents are rich so we had a swimming pool inside of our home and I swam in there all the time when I was little. I was never rich, my parents were but I wasn't. I wasn't spoiled or anything because my parents wanted me to be like an 'average' kid as they called it. Now that I'm living up here in Oklahoma with Skylar I can tell that I, myself, am very poor. My parents left me behind with my grandma because of some job promotion and I didn't want to go.

We arrived at school and Skylar and I went and asked Luke if he was spending the night for the whole weekend and he said "of course" like it was no big deal.

I went to all of my classes and I was happy to go to 7th period because Skylar and I are in the same period.

Today we had to take a test. Skylar and I were the first ones done because we are good at it. I'm better at math but language arts is cool too. Skylar is good at it because she wants to be an author when she grows up and I can't blame her. She does have proper grammer and she's just smart at language arts.

Skylar read for the rest of the class and I was on my phone just looking over my pictures. I noticed that I have no pictures of Skylar and I or just Skylar, on my phone. What kind of boyfriend am I? I don't even have a picture of my girlfriend on my phone. This is jacked up I thought.

After the period was over we went to our lockers to get ready to go home. Skylar is really fast at packing up so she met me by my locker. We headed over to Luke and he was ready to come over. He had everything he needed for the weekend. Luke drove us home and Skylar and I sat in the back. I held her hand and looked into her eyes. She looked so frightend, like she didn't want Luke to know but somewhere deep down inside of her she knows that she has to tell him. He needs to know why she's been weird lately.

We arrived at our house and we all got out. Skylar walked me up to our room while Luke was in the living room.

"I'm so nervous." She said to me, she looked like she was going to throw up.

"Baby, it's going to be alright, just be honest with him and just remember that I'll be there with you know matter what happens." I reassured her.

"Ok." She said.

I kissed her and we left the room.

"How was your quickie?" Luke asked us.

Skylar slapped him and I said that it was fine, even though Skylar and I both know we were just talking.

"Ryan! We did not have a quickie." Sky said completely embarrassed.

"Sure keep telling yourself that princess." Luke said.

"We didn't." I replied. "I was just being a smart ass."

"Oh ok." Luke said.

Skylar's POV:

After a while of just talking the guys played video games while I made supper. I made this chicken dinner where I maranate the chicken and I cook potatos and green beans in the same container and it's really good. My mom used to make it for my sister and I when we were little and I could never get enough of it.

After we all ate supper Ryan went to the store to get us some ice cream. Luke and I just had a dance battle; you know the stuff 'normal' friends do. Yeah we are 'normal.'

Once Ryan got home Ryan put the ice cream in the freezer and he nodded his head at me.

"Ok. I have something I need to tell you." I said to Luke as Ryan came over and sat next to me.

"Oh guys please tell me you aren't pregnant. I really don't need to know what you do in your free time." Luke pleaded.

"No that's not what I was going to say." I said. "I was going to tell you why I've been really weird lately."

"Ok. You can tell me anything Sky, you know this."

"Ok."

*5 minutes later*

"Oh my god Sky, I'm so sorry." Luke said as he came over and hugged me.

"It's ok. I'm just glad I told you without crying."

"Yeah. That's sad but if you ever need anything I'll always be here to talk." Luke said.

"Ok." Was all I said. I just wanted it to be simple, and it was. "You guys want some ice cream now?" I asked them.

"Yes please." They both said.

I got them both some ice cream along with myself and we started to watch a movie. Ryan and I sat at one end of the couch while Luke sat at the other.

Ryan was laying down and he had his legs open and I was laying down in between his legs. It was actually really comfortable. Luke was at the other end of the couch and he was laying down but his head was on my leg. It felt weird to lay like that but what ever.

After a while into the movie I fell asleep.
-------------------------------
Ryan's POV:

We were all laying comfortably on the couch and Skylar fell asleep. I love it when she falls asleep on me, it's so cute, but the thing that is not cute is that Luke is laying on Skylar's legs. I know they've been bestfriends since like ever but I still don't like it. I don't know why I'm so jealous over it but I need to get over it. They are just friends.

After awhile Luke got up and moved to the other couch and covered up in one of his blankets and fell asleep. I moved Skylar off of me so I could go get us some blankets to be warm. I ran upstairs quietly and grabbed our blankets.

When I got back Skylar was all sprawled out on the couch, she looked very comfortable. I moved her and I laid down, then I lifted her up and placed her on my chest so that she was laying down more comfortably. I put the blankets over us and we both fell asleep.
