*book 1* The Nightmare They Call Life

Chapter 41

I laid there stunned at what I just read. Maia came in and she was already dressed. She had her hair in a ponytail and she laid next to me. I don't feel weird that I know she likes me. I just can't let her know I know. So I'll go along with anything.

Maia turned off the tv and snuggled close to me just like how we used to sleep. I wonder how long she's had these feelings for, I thought. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm just too shocked. I soon forced myself to fall asleep.
---------------------------
I woke up and the sunlight was shining through the window of her room. I squinted my eyes from the amount of sunlight. I tried moving out of bed to shut the blinds but Maia's hand was wrapped around my waist. I wasn't weirded out about it. That's how we used to sleep, I kept reminding myself.

I soon woke Maia up and I got up and closed the blinds. She was so mad because that's the only thing I wanted. She rolled over and fell back to sleep. I laid back down next to her and closed my eyes.

Great I'm in the dark now. I love the dark. It's mysterious and dangerous. I closed my eyes falling into a deep sleep.
-------------------------
I woke up and looked around the room to find her clock. 1:30pm. The clock read. Great I have to leave soon, I thought.

I woke Maia up and told her I was leaving. She said goodbye to me and fell back to sleep, damn that girl sleeps all the time. I really can't complain because I do too but still.

I walked home since I got a ride from Maia. My walk home was fantastic but by time I actually got home, my feet were sore and my back hurt. I made my way into the house and I was greeted by the one and only Luke and Ryan.

They both ran up and gave me a hug. I hugged them back but Ryan knew something was wrong. He asked me what was wrong but I just said that I walked from Maia's house and I'm a little tired and sore. He told me to go upstairs and lay down. I did as he said and laid down in the comfort of my own bed. Man, I love my bed.

Ryan and Luke came up after a little bit. Ryan laid down behind me and Luke laid down in front of me. I was in the middle of them and I was beginning to feel clostrophobic.

I backed away which caused Ryan to scoot back. Ryan held me tightly in his arms as he and Luke both kissed my head. I'm used to Luke kissing me, he's been giving me kisses since 7th grade. He's my best friend and he already knows it. He's like a brother I never had and that's how he kisses me, he gives me a kiss so that I will know that he's always there since he's like a brother to me and I'm like a sister to him.

Ryan squeezed me tighter and then started to massage my back. Damn that felt good, I thought, as his magical hands worked there way across my back. I soon fell asleep from pure bliss.
------------------------------
"Skylar come downstairs." I heard my mom yell from downstairs.

I soon walked downstairs "I'm here." I said as I walked into the room.

"Great. Sit down your father and I have something to tell you." She said as I sat down.

"Ok, so things haven't been to good with your father and I. We are getting a divorce." My mom said to Paris and I.

I ran up to my room and cried. I didn't come out of my room until the next day and that's when my dad was moving out. I gave him a hug and a kiss and he left. He went to his new house. Well, this sucks, I thought as I went back up to my room.

"Skylar get your ass downstairs." Paris said through slurred words, by her tone I could tell she's drunk. I opened the door.

"Are you drunk?" I asked her.

"No." She said again slurring her words.

"Yes you are." I stated.

"So what if I am. Go downstairs and make me dinner." She said again.

"No have mom do it." I told her.

"No she's at work. She got another job." She said.

"Well, I'm not going to be your maid." I said as I shut my door, but she stopped it and pushed her way through the door. She lunged forward at me and started hitting me. "You will do as I say." She said.

"Get the fuck out." I said struggling. She hit me.

"No, no, no, no. Stop!" I said.
---------------------------
"Skylar....... Skylar..... Wake up." I heard a familiar voice say.

"What?" I said confused.

"Skylar wake up." I heard him say again. I opened my eyes and looked at him. Ryan was looking at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You were screaming 'no' in your sleep." Ryan said.

"Oh ok." I said suddenly remembering my dream.

I got up and went to the bathroom and just cried. I remember that day very vividly. I continued to cry a little more before I splashed some water on my face and went downstairs to eat.

"Where's Luke?" I asked.

"Oh. He went home." Ryan said.

"Oh cool." I said.

Ryan picked me up bridal style and went downstairs to the basement into the home theater.

"We are going to Florida to get married since we didn't go for Christmas. Hell we didn't even celebrate Christmas. I'm still really sorry about that." He said as he climbed on top of me to give me gentle kisses. I kissed him back and he moved my shirt up and planted small baby kisses on my stomach and started talking to the baby.

"Daddy's here." He said to my stomach and I looked down upon him. He looked so cute.

If I were still in the past and someone told me that 2 years from now I would have a fiancé and be pregnant and be abused and raped by my father I would tell that person they were crazy.
