Pic is of Skylar and Blake as babies, Blake is the one to the right hugging the one to the left Skylar close to him
Skylar's POV
"Skylar, are you ready to go?" Kylie asks as I finish putting on my shoes. I nod and walk down the stairs, where Kylie is putting on her jacket.
"Ready to see your family again?" I nod and walk out the door to her car." "Are you excited to see Blake? He really misses you." I nod and look out the window. "What's wrong Skylar, you don't seen excited."
I am excited to see Blake again, but I'm also scared. Not of him but his eyes. Our dad's eyes would turn a deep almost forest green when he would beat me. When Blake yelled at me his eyes turned the same deep green as our dad's, that why I ran away.
"Nothing. I just, Blake's so upset with me." It comes out mire like a question than a statement. As we pull into my neighborhood I feel both nerves and excited at the same time. Kylie must have noticed.
"Hey, don't worry Skylar, everything will be alright I promise." She gives me a smile that makes me feel slightly better. As we pull into the driveway, I sink down into my seat. "Do you want me to go in with you?" I nod and stare at the cars in the driveway. Everyone is home, they are all going to be upset or hate me.
Kylie and I slowly walk up the pathway, when we reach the door. I grab Kylie's hand, he's intertwines our fingers and smiles at me. She knocks on the door, we hear footsteps coming toward the door.
"Your back!" Chris says hugging me tightly, I hug him back. Then everyone else runs to us. "Skylar!" Everyone says all at once, everyone hugs me, in between all the hugging I look for Blake, but I don't see him. He's probably so mad at me he doesn't want to see me.
"Skylar?" I look up toward the stairs and see Blake, standing at the railing looking down at me. He runs down the stairs taking two at a time. He stops at the bottom of the stairs. We stare at each other for a few seconds before running to each other.
We run and hug eachother. Blake hugs me so tight I feel like I can't breath, but I don't care I missed him so much, I can't describe it.
"Sky, I am so sorry for yelling at you, I'll never do that again." Blake says with tears in his eyes. I nod and pull away from him. "I'm so sorry Blake." "No Sky. I never meant to hurt you. I missed you i am lost without you," Blake says crying. "Please don't cry." We hug crying into each other's shoulders, Blake rubs calming circles into my back doing his best to calm me down as well as himself.
"Boy, we need to all talk." Paula say walking with Matthew to the couch. "Should I go, this sounds like, a family thing." Kylie asks looking at me. "Not if you don't want to, and I think Skylar wants you to stay," Paula says as I nod to Kylie. Kylie sits down on the long couch beside me, with Blake on my right.
"Skylar, why did you runaway?" Matthew asks. I tense up and swallow a huge lump in my throat. Kylie grabs my hand and explains for me. "Well Skylar told me, he remember a terrible memory, that he thought he forgot about and he couldn't handle it." We all continue to discuss why I ran away and if I have a bad memory that I need to talk to someone instead of running from them. Kylie leaves to go home soon after.
"Blake?" I tap on his shoulder. "Yes, Sky?" "Can we share a room again?" I ask then look down at the floor. Blake grabs my chins lightly and tips my head up so I'm looking up at him. "Yes, Skylar of course, let me just go tell Paula and Matthew." I nod and walk upstairs to my room, Chris is lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling.
"Skylar, why are you changing room?" Chris says not making eye contact with me, obviously hurt that I'm changing rooms. I walk over to my bed and put my phone on note speak, "I realized when I runaway that I needed Blake, I didn't have him with me like I always do, I missed him, as well as everyone else." "Oh okay." "Are you upset with me?" "No, it's cool, I get it you need you older brother."
Blake comes into our room with a box. "Hey Chris." "Hey." "Sky come on, Matthew have me this box so we could put your clothes and other stuff in it, so we could change it all into my room. "Where Alex going to sleep?" "In Ryan's room for now."
We walk down the hall to my new room. I put all my clothes in the closet, along with my shoes. I turn around and see a picture of Blake and I on our fifth birthday.
We both got cards from our parents, Blake let me read his. It was so caring and loving unlike mine. Mine was full of hate, I remember the one line they wrote, that really hurt me. It read, "We should have killed you the moment we brought you home."
"Sky, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Blake asks, while wiping tears from my eyes. "Nothing, I just realized I ran away from people that truly love me." "Sky, we all love you." "But I ranaway." "Yea. But we will always love you no matter what. Now let's get ready for bed." Blake says turning to his bed. I tap on Blake's shoulder and take a step back. "Blake, could umm," I look down at the ground feeling like huge baby, "can we sleep, like when we did when I had a nightmare when I was younger?" "Yea, don't look so worried Sky."
I slide into Blake's bed and lie my head on the edge of his pillow. I have completely forgot how comfortable a bed is, when I ran away I slept at a park four miles away. I slept under the play drawbridge and covered myself with leafs to keep warm, every night I would read Blake's text, telling me how much me missed me that I needed to come back, that he was sorry. Blake slide into the bed and pulls the blankets all the way up to our chests. "Are you cold Sky?" I nod and sink farther under the blankets. "Here," Blake says pulling the blankets up to our chins.
I slowly start to feel myself falling asleep, I try and stay awake but sleep is over powering me. "Sky sleep, fall asleep, you've been gone for a long time, you need your sleep, sleep baby brother," Blake says running his hand down my face. I close my eyes but I still can't sleep. Blake pulls me closer to him, I bury my face into Blake's chest and fall asleep, think about how lucky I am to have Blake.
I have a dream, I'm in an old building. "Skylar, you know who your going towel your secret to," the mysterious voice says. "Who is it?" "You know this person you trust them." I think I know but no one come to up, but then Kylie comes into my mind. "Kylie?" I say almost in a whisper. "Yes." "But she shouldn't know, she will pity me won't she?" "Go. Tell her. She's the one you trust." "But what if she doesn't believe me?" "Show her everything." "Everything?" I ask thinking of all my scars and burn marks all over my back and stomach. "Yes, Skylar."
