Dreams

Ch 20: Is It A Crush?

It has been a few months since the hurricane and everyone came back and we all continued to get closer and closer.

Things started to change between a few people... I dont know if this was for the better or not. Just as I was deep in thought a knock came at my door pulling me from my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I ask rubbing my eyes. "Can I come in?" The voice asked. I walked over and unlocked the door returning to the desk in my room. "Whats up?" I ask Chris as he sat on the edge of my bed.

"Uh..." He said as he looked lost for words. His eyes were filled with many different emotions. Mainly hurt confusion and sadness. "Hey. Whats wrong?" I ask walking to sit next to him. "I. I. I dont know..." He said putting his elbows on his knees hiding his face.

"Skylar... I... What I'm... Well.. Oh. My. God!" He tried to spit out what he wanted to say. Chris was getting frustrated at the fact he didn't know what to say. He just couldnt bring himself to say it. Just then my phone rang. I know it would be rude of me to answer it right now but it was my boss.

"Im sorry. Ill be right back." I said excusing myself.

Phone call.

Boss: Ms. Mackenzie...

Me: yes sir? Its good to hear from you again.

Boss: i got some bad news.

Me: oh... Uh... Whats happened?

Boss: the company is shutting down... Uh... Im sorry... But the company got shut down... The modeling agency was destroyed by a angry employee...

Me: this is my entire life...

Boss: im sorry ms. Mackenzie good bye. I wish you the best of luck.

Me: thanks. Bye bye..

End call

My entire world just came crashing down infront of me... My modeling career just ended...

I was lost for a moment in time. Then I remembered Chris. He looked upset. I quickly glanced up into my window and seen he was standing there. He had a smile on his face then looked away when he noticed I was looking at him.

'How can he get anymore cute?' I thought to myself. I had a crush on Chris. I mean. How couldnt I? He is so sweet and caring and always knows how to make me and the others around him laugh. I loved him. And I know he would never feel the same about me....

I quickly ran to my room. When I went in I seen my room was empty. "Damn!" I curse to myself. I sighed heavily and sat on my bed trying not to cry. Chris had left my room still holding onto something that seemed to hurt him and my world came crashing down in a matter of 45 seconds.

Could this day get any worse? After a few hours there was another soft knock at my bed room door. At this point I was having a hard time keeping it together. I was seconds from breaking down. I was at the tip of the ice berg with almost no balance.

I quietly got up and opened my door. I seen Mel standing there. "Hey." She said quietly. I just turned around and walked back to my bed pulling my knees to my chest. "Oh hunny. Whats wrong?" She asked shutting my door joining me on my bed. "A few things." Is all I said. Some how I managed not to cry. And she seen that I was about to.

"Why are you about to cry?" She asked me. I couldnt say anything. Even though I tried to. I went to speak a few times but the tears just threatened to spill every time I opened my mouth. "Take a minute or two. Think of what you want to say." She said rubbing my back.

After a few minutes I decided on what I wanted to say. I didnt care anymore about crying or not. I spilled everything out.

"I lost my modeling career because the company got destroyed by one angry employee and my whole life crumbled infront of me in a matter of 45 seconds. And I have a small crush on someone who I know dont feel the same about me and im scared to take a shot at it because I know he will reject me and I really like him." I poured out everything. I was wiping my eyes trying to calm down. "Wow... Uh... Im sorry..." Mel said. She didnt know what to say. And I didnt blame her.

"Oh god. Im sorry." I said. "Its okay. You needed to say it. That really sucks that that happened." She said moving to get more comfortable. "Hey Mel." I said after I had calmed down enough. "Yes hun?" She asked. "What would you do if you had a crush on someone but you knew they didnt like you back or you wasnt sure they liked you back?" I asked trying to be clear.

"Well. I would firs-" she was saying as we were cut off by a gigantic clash from downstairs. It scared us and it was the fastest we had ever ran. Or at least the fastest I had ever ran before.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?!" Zach yelled as everyone ran into the room. Everyone said they didnt know at different times and then the room went silent. Everyone looked around for a few minutes. Nothing was out of place. Everyone was here. Well. Almost everyone. "Tyler. He isnt here." Chris said from behind me. There was another giant clash but this time where is was coming from was clear. "Outside!" Bryan yelled as we all ran. "MY TRUCK!" I exclaimed as Zach ran to his vehicle.

"Where is Tyler?" I asked through the anger of looking at my truck and the damage. "TYLER!" Tristan yelled from beside us making a few of us jump. "Ill check the house." I said turning and tunning back inside. 'What happened?' I asked myself as I checked the bottom layers of the house. I made my way upstairs as I checked the rooms. Tyler was in his room with ear buds in. I could hear his music from his door.

I walked in and quickly flipped the light a few times leaving it on. "What the hell!?" He exclaimed angirly. "DID YOU NOT HEAR THE TWO GIANT CLASHES!??!" I asked him. "Uh no." He said confused. "Come on!" I practicly order him. We went outside. "Oh shit!" Is his first reaction when he seen it. "Who could have done this!" I asked crying. "Why my truck! Why Zachs vehicle! What did we do!" I ask frantically.

I fell to the ground and began sobbing. The fire department and police was here in about 10 minutes after Mel made a call. Someone blew up my truck and Zachs vehicle.

Zach and I talked to the officer and that only made me angrier. I had done nothing to deserve this. And neither had Zach. The guys made a social media announcement that they wouldnt be going live for a few days for reasons they cant speak of yet.
