Evil Ties Within

Chapter Ninteen

Xavier left in the morning like he normally does. I got ready and I decided to wear a tank top that goes up to the neck is longer in length. I wore legging with it. I decided to put on my green converse that went above my ankle.

Maya and Aaron were sitting downstairs talking about something. They quieted down when I entered the room.

"What's going on? You guys never whisper when I am coming." I am mentally exhausted. I did not want to deal with this as well.

"Why don't you come sit down?" Aaron said to me. He did not look happy.

"Okay..." I said and let my voice trail off. I sat down beside Maya.

"We finally got word from the court and they are going to proceed with the custody issue. I do not know what this means, but I promise we will do everything we can to win," Honestly, I forgot all about the court issues. I have been so focused on Lily that it never even was a worrisome thought until now.

"Oh," that is all I could say. I mean what else am I supposed to say to that. Or think for that matter. Lily will not stop until she has completely ruined my life. My blood is boiling. I want some answers.

I stormed away from them. I could not and would not continue to deal with this torment. I did not care if it is my fathers idea or Lily's. This has to end now.

"Skylar! Where are you going?" Maya asked frantically.

"SKYE!" I did not even look back. I am getting my answers and the less they know the better.

Piper heard Maya and Aaron yelling at me. She came out to investigate. I am already in my car and she tried to stop me as well. If anyone understood what I am doing, it would be Piper. She does not agree, however, but unlike Maya and Aaron she knows.

I am driving. I am determined to demand answers from Lily. My dad should not be home. He usually works right about this time and that makes a perfect time for me to get my answers. I make sure to pay attention to the signs and the lights and whatnot, but I refuse to hold off on this psycho's games anymore.

When you start involving my family, whom I love dearly, that is when you get a different me altogether. I will not stand for it and Lily will reap what she sows'

I am not even close to Dad and Lily's yet. I have music playing, but all I can hear is the blood pounding in my ears and the angry I have become to welcome. I am no longer gripped by fear. I will get my answers no matter the cost.

Piper starts blowing up my phone and I ignore every single one of them. Maya and Aaron keep trying to call me and Xavier is worried. I never should have dragged Piper and Xavier into my nightmare of a life that I have. I mean how selfish can I be? This is my problem and I should have dealt with it from day one.

No one treats me like this. No one stalks my house, my friends, my family, and my privacy. Emma of all people is the least expected person to betray me like she has. I trusted her into the circle of my life. What did I ever even do to her? Or is she just as psycho as Lily.

Thinking of Emma only pisses me off more, but I cannot deny the role she plays in all this. She must have been the lurking van, the person who followed her and I must have been Lily and then when I was with Xavier that must have been Emma.

Lily and Emma do not know that I have come to realize just who they are. They are despicable, lying, and callous people. My dad let a psycho into our lives, and I hope with all my being he is okay.

My dad may have said and done somethings I will never understand, but I have a feeling Lily did something to make him this way. There must be a reason why he married her, and I know in my gut it has something to do with Lily.

I finally arrive at my dads and Lily's. I finally will confront my evil in my life and demand answers.

I plan on making the best performance of my life and Lily will never see the anger I have towards her.

Lily notices me coming down the driveway. Before I get out of my car, I take a deep breath and put on the fakest smile I have ever had to do.
