Silent Prison (completed)

You cant tell me what to do

I walk into the Target that's a lock away from my Meldoy and Drake's house. As I walk in I take in the atmosphere around me, it smells like popcorn and pizza. There are lot of people talking and walking around, with their kids. I see a mother and father with their two little boys probably around the age of seven. The little boy with black hair is crying because he wants a Buzz Lightyear action figure but their dad said he can't have it, the other little boy is trying to make him feel better.

Watching all of this reminds me of whenBlake and I before our parents started to beat me everyday. I was crying because dad wouldn't let me have this small Iron Man action figure toy, that I really wanted. Blake had pulled me into a hug and said he would get it for our birthday, but I would have to act surprised when he gave it to me. I stopped crying right on the spot and hugged Blake thanking him.

Coming back to reality, I walk down the isle and turn to see aground of guys that I used to hang out with all the time, but Blake made me stop hanging out with them when we were twelve he said they were changing me into someone that I wasn't and should never be.

"Hey S.S. what's up?" Mark the leader of group motions with his hand for me to walk over to them. I walk over to them slowly, they all pat my back and smile at me, remembering all of the good times that we all had together some good and others bad.

"How have you been S.S.?" Mark says using the nickname he gave me, S.S. stands for Silent Skylar. "You know same old same old." "We heard you and your brother got adopted a couple months ago by a really nice family." "Yea, our new family is really nice, Blake and I got three new little brothers, they are triplets." "So what has brought you back here? We know that you go to a new school." "I needed some time away from school, and I ended up here." "Well, why don't we go and have some fun?" Mark says with a smirk.

I know very well that every time Mark says, "Let's go have some fun," it means we might get into some trouble. But right now I really could careless about of I get in trouble. I need to live a little, and show Blake that I can do whatever the hell I want, he can't tell me what or who I can and can not talk to, he isn't Paul or Matthew he has no control over me,I can do whatever.
We walk out of Target and head down the street to the 99% store. We walk in and immediately everyone splits up to go and steal whatever it is that they want.
"Hey stick with me, remember I never get caught." Mark says whispering so only I can hear him. I nod and follow Mark towards the isle with the candy. We tuck in our shirts since we are both wearing jackets, we zip them up and quickly stuff bags of candy into our jackets. By the time we are done I have stuffed twelve bags of candy into my jacket and Mark has ten. Everyone else in the group walk toward us and they all have items stuffed in their jackets as well, they have about ten bags each.
"Okay, S.S. you go first out the door and we will follow shortly afte, so we won't raise any suspicion." Inks as k walk toward the door, I see a security officer I walk casually out the door and down the block. As Mark said shortly after they all come.
"S.S. we all trade one item to you and you trade one item with us." We all trade, and walk to the park that's three blocks away. When we get there, there a a bunch of little kids running around having a good time, not a care in the world. I was like them once but not anymore, I will forever be different.
We walk behind the handball courts and start eating our candy. "Hey is your brother going to come after you,and make you stay away from us again?" Andy asks biting into a milk way bar, I shrug my shoulders and finish eating the rest of my Mr. GoodBar. When I was in the group Andy and I were the closest we were always together makes sense since we are only three months apart he is older.
After we finish most of our candy we walk down the street. We don't even make it halfway down the block, when someone places their hand on my shoulder, causing me to stop.
I turn around to see Blake and all his friends. Blake has anger written allowed his face while all his friends look shocked. They all stare at my friends then back at me again.
"What do you want Blake?" "Sky, let's go. Come on, we are going home. Now!" Blake pulls my arm but I snap it back. "No. I'm staying here with my friends." "Sky they are trouble. Don't you remember you would always get in trouble every time you were with them." "I don't care! It doesn't matter to me. Now go away, I don't need or want you here. Or any of you for that matter now go away." "Even me?" I hear a meek voice say from behind Blake and his friends, it's Kylie.
I push through Blake and his friends to see Kylie in the back with tears inner eyes. I up Kylie's face in my hands and wipe away here tears. "Skylar, please come back, if not for Blake or your friends then please for me?" Kylie says her lip trembling.
"S.S. come on, we are your real friends. We don't make you do things you don't want to do. Especially using some girl to make you do something." Anger flows into my system, Mark just called Kylie some girl. No, she isn't some girl she is special, she one in a million.
I turn around and punch Mark straight in his jaw. I hear the crunch of bone as he backs up holding his jaw as he falls to the ground. "What the hell, S.S.! I though we were friends!" "Kylie is not some girl. She is an amazing,beautiful person inside and out. Don you ever call her some girl ever again, she's my girlfriend!" I turn around on my heel, with Kylie by my side and Blame and his friends following behind.
We walk to our house in complete silence. No one talks until we get to my house. I go straight up to my room, leaving Kylie and everyone else downstairs. I flop down onto my bed and cry in frustration into my pillow. I feel my eyes start to feel heavy. I feel someone rubbing my back, I assume it's Blake or Kylie, most likely Blake though, so I just let them continue. I let may self fall into the sleep that is calling out to me.
I wake up and look at the clock that reads three fifth-teen. I hear people talking outside my door. "Who were those guys Skylar was hanging out with?" "They are some guys Sky would hang out with all the time when we were in foster care. He started to change when he hung out with them, so I made him stop." "How was he changing?" "He would steal things like today I know he stole that candy, he would also lie, skip school, get into fight all the time." "Will he continue to hang out with them?" "I really hope not."
I get out of bed and open the door to find Blake, the twins, and Kylie. I step around them all but Blake stops me. "How was your nap, are you hungry?" I ignore him and try to walk past him again but this time Blake grabs my arm with force, causing me to turn back. When I look back, I'm in a flashback from when I was five.
"You are nothing to us, you are a worthless child!" Dad says as he kicks me in the stomach. I cry and beg for him to stop, but he continues. Mom comes in with a belt, I beg her with my eyes for her not to hit me but it's no use its just like every other time.
Mom wraps the belt around her right hand two times, the buckle is dangling. I wait for the cold metal to hit me, when it does it hits me under my right eye. I scream out in pain, dad shoves a towel into my mouth and duck tales my mouth shut. After they finish they take all of the tape off of me. "Mommy, daddy, what is it that I do wrong? Whatever it is I'll stop." Dad looks down at me and bends down to my height. "Stop breathing." Then he and mom walk away leaving me on the floor coughing up blood.
"Sky please snap out of it," Blake says while shaking me. I push his hands off of me, I look to see everyone looking at me. "Oh my god Sky, what happened did you remember another bad memory?" Blake asks while pulling me into a hug. Kylie and the twins look at me with confused expressions, I push away from a lake and turn around, but he tugs on my shirt causing me to turn around.
"We need to talk about these memories," Blake whispers into my ear, I nod knowing Blake won't let it go. "Sorry guys, Sky and I have to talk, you know twin stuff." "We totally understand," Steven says as he and Billy start walking down the stairs. "Bye Blake, bye Sky." Kylie,gives me a kiss on the cheek before she walks downstairs and out the door, closing it behind her.
"Go sit on the couch while I make us some green tea." "Where are Paula and Matthew and our brothers?" "They are at open house night at the triples school. So they won't be home till around ten. Now go sit and I'll be there as soon as the tea is done. I nod and walk downstairs and tuen on the TV to Guy Code. "Sky, no Guy Code." I sigh and change the channel to SpongeBob SquarePants. My favorite episode is on,when The Tattle Tale Strangler is mad at Spongebob for having way to many parties.
"Sky, here's your tea," Blake says placing my tea on the little table next to me. Sky, what are these bad memories about, what happened in them?" I can't tell him, he will feel pity for me,I don't want anyone to pity me, and I'm the reason Blake will never see pm and dad again he will hate me forever.
"Was I there when it happened?" I shake my head I can feel tears threatening to break through. "Is what happened in these memories the reason.... You don't talk anymore?" That broke me, before I even know it, tears are running down my cheeks like a river.
"Skylar, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry." Blake picks me up from my side of the couch and places me on his lap. "Don't cry, Skylar. Whatever it is that happened, you know it's all in the past." I try and push myself away from him, but he pulls me back towards him. If I was there would what happened to you have stopped?" I shrug my shoulders and place my face into the crook of Blake's neck, crying slightly.
I feel Blake stand up and walk around, I look up to see that we are walking up the stairs. Blake places me on his bed and climbs on after me. I bury my face into his chest. "Sky, I'm really sorry that I wasn't there to protect you from what happened. But I promise from now on, I will always protect you no matter what."
I nod into his chest. I feel Blake put his arm around me and rub my back. he would do this every time I had a nightmare when we first went to Drake and Melody's house when we were six.
I was scared to trust them, afraid that they would beat me because they didn't want me, like mom and dad. I remember always hiding behind Blake when we were with them, I would always try my best to stay out of their way. Then they told Blake and I they loved us like their own kids and always would.
"Sky, you must be tired, why don't you sleep early okay" I look up at him and shake my head. "Okay then let's stay here till you fall asleep." Before I know it I'm already fast asleep.
