HIIIIII! I'M SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN A WHILE HAHAHAHHA MY GRADES ARE ASS SO I KEEP GETTING GROUNDED POG
~Skylar's POV:~
I don't know how long I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling. My body felt numb, and as much as I wanted to cry, my body was empty. I hadn't slept much and the sun was starting to set, meaning I hadn't moved all day. Dream hadn't tried to speak to me, as he had probably heard my screams and sobs.
Tommy was probably worried, considering I didn't show up at all today. I wanted to find a way to message him, but I didn't know how to do that without Dream knowing. I had considered many things, I even considered training a messenger bird, but all those ideas fell through.
I figured I should get up, so I walked into my bathroom to wash my face. When I looked in the mirror, I hardly recognized myself. Mascara had stained almost my entire face, considering how hard I had been crying. My hair was matted and clustered at the back of my head, making it look like a rat's nest. I wiped my face off with a makeup wipe, and got in the shower.
The burning water hitting my body should have brought feeling back to me, but it didn't. All I could think about was how hurt Tommy might be, and the image of Dream almost attacking me. Since we were little, he has always sworn to protect me. Instead of doing that, he almost killed me. I didn't know if I could ever forgive him for that.
Trying to push those thoughts out, I switched to thinking about a different subject. One I seemed to be thinking a lot about recently.
Tommy.
Normally they were happy thoughts, but today I could only picture the hurt he must be feeling. I see him everyday, and I had never been late, and today I had showed him up. The guilt gnawing inside of me made me want to scream, and I intended to do something about it.
I finished showering, and got myself ready. I ran to my desk, scribbling a note to Tommy explaining my current situation, and the solution I had. I armed myself, and went to my closet. I remember Dream had given me a bow a couple years back, but I had never gotten around to using it. I grabbed an arrow, and ran to my window.
I searched outside until I eventually found what I was looking for. Off in the distance, I could barely see Tommy. After making sure he was alone, I rolled up my note and stuck it on the arrow. Praying my aim was as good as throwing arrows, I shot it next to him. It landed directly next him, and he jumped when it landed. He pulled out his sword and picked up the arrow. Pulling off the note, he read it, and looked over at me. I waved weakly, earning a smile in return. He did as I asked, and walked away.

I put pillows under my covers to make it seem like I was sleeping. I turned all the lights off, and headed to my window. Dream was already angry, I didn't really care if I upset him now. I was still wearing Tommy's hoodie, and I had put of some leggings and my combat boots.
I headed to window, and opened it just enough to where I could climb out. I stood on the tree below my window, and cracked it, so it didn't look suspicious. I climbed down, and sprinted towards the sewers. I climbed down, and prayed I was going in the right direction. I remembered Tommy telling me about a secret meeting room that connected to the sewers, so I told him to meet me there.
After about 10 minutes, I found the room. Tommy was already in there waiting for me, which was a relief. I instantly ran over and hugged him, which he seemed slightly jarred by. I didn't leave his arms, even though he might have been uncomfortable.
"Tommy I'm so sorry." I said into his chest.
"Why are you sorry? You haven't done anything wrong."
