Silent Prison (completed)

You can call me Sky

"Hey Skylar." I wake up to feeling someone nudging me. "Skylar, wake up." I roll over and pull my blanket over my head. "Mom is making pancakes." I open my eyes to see Chris ready to nudge me again. I tap on my left wrist, to ask what time it is. "It's nine- thirty." I put five fingers up, to ask for five more minutes of sleep. "Ok, I'll be back in five, alright."

As I fall asleep I have flashbacks from when I was four.

"Just shove the bottle down his throat, he will drink it," my mom Debby says to my dad, John. Dad shoves the bottle into my mouth. I kick and scream, but when I do I slapped. "Shut up, you waste of space!" Dad says. As the fluid runs down my throat it burns.

"Skylar, Skylar." I wake up from my flashback and see Matthew, Paula, and all my brothers staring at me. I move from my bed, to the corner of the room. I slide down the wall and start crying.

"His pills, where are his pills?!" I hear Blake yell. "Here," Chris says handing Blake the bottle of pills labeled (Panic Attacks) Blake gives me two pills.

"Here. Sky, takes these." I grab the pills and swallow them. "Is he going to be okay?" Matthew asks. "Yes, we just need to give him a few minutes. Can Sky and I talk privately?" "Sure come on Kids." Paul's says.

I hug my knees and try calming down but it's not working.

"Sky." I don't look up at Blake. "Sky, please look at me." Blake says tipping my chin up to look at him. "Sky, did you have a nightmare?" I cry harder and nod.

Blake picks me up, and places me on my bed. He sits down next to me then picks me up and places me on his lap. "It's okay, Sky." He says while stroking the back on my head.

I feel better now, Blake would do this every time I had a flashback when I was little.

"Sky, what was your dream about?" I put my head into his chest. "Will you tell me?" I shake my head and put my head deeper into Blake's chest. "Is it a new dream, recurring, or both.?" I put up three fingers. "Both?" I nod. "Sky,will you ever tell me what the nightmare is about?" I shake my head and cry.

"Sky don't cry. Please tell me the nightmare you have, so I can help you." I shake my head. "Sky, can I ask you a question, I've never asked you before?" I look up at Blake and nod.

"Is this nightmare actually reality, as in did it really happen to you?" I look away. "So it isn't a nightmare, it's a memory." I look down and nod. " Is it when mom and dad got arrested.? I get up and point to the door, telling Blake to get out. "So is was when they got arrested." I shake my head. "Sky," I cut him off and type. "Get out of my room, tell everyone I'll be downstairs in twenty minutes!" "Oh okay," Blake says with some hurt in his eyes.

When Blake leaves I get dressed. I pull on some black tight skinny jeans, my Sleeping With Sirens shirt, and my back converse. I grab my flat iron and straighten my pick black hair.

When I get downstairs everyone is eating pancakes, papas, bacon, and eggs. "Good morning Skylar, are you hungry?" Paula asks getting up to get me a plate. I shake my head. "You sure? I can make you what ever you like." I type,"No, I'm not hungry. Is there a mall around here?" "Yes, but we can't go today. It's closed on Saturdays." I nod and turn to go back to my room.

"Skylar." Matthew calls me. I turn and nod. "We were just telling Blake that you two will be starting school in a week. If you two want we will take you both to the mall on Tuesday and Friday." I nod. I go back to my room and lay on my bed. I grab my IPod and play Girls/ Girls/ Boys by Panic! at the disco. I shift around till I get comfortable. I slowly drift off to sleep.

"Skylar, Skylar. It's time to tell someone." "what are you talking abo..." I shut my mouth. "I..I can talk." "Of course you can." The mysterious voice tells me. "But will my voice always be here?" "No, sorry." "Than who am I going to tell?" I ask the voice. "There will be someone who will except that you don't talk. You will come to trust this person with your secret." "Is this person Blake?" "No, this person is someone you will meet for the first time." "How will I know they are the one?" "You will feel it, it will feel like time has stopped." Before I can ask the mysterious voice another question, I am awoken by Blake.
