Dreams

Ch 34: Elaina's Apology

Everyone woke up early in the morning. We are all ready to get away for a while. I forsure, is ready to get away.

"Skylar?" A voices came as there was a soft knock on my door. "It's open." I said as I finished getting ready. "You almost ready to go?" She asked me. "Yeah. I just have to get my shoes on." I said grabbing my shoes. "Okay. We'll be outside hun." She said. After that she walked out.

"I'm gonna miss you." I said to my bed laughing. After I finished tying my shoes I walked out. Making sure my door was locked. Time to go.

"Mel?!" I yelled as I ran downstairs. "Outside!" She yelled back from beyond the door. "Okay!" I yelled back. I quickly grabbed some water out of the fridge and walked outside. "Skylar. This is for you." Mel said as I shut the door behind me. It was adressed to me from Elaina.

"Its from Elaina." I said. "The one who blew up your truck?" Mel asked. "Yeah." I said. "Im not opening it." I said throwing it in the bottom of my day bag. "Okay. Lets go. Youre with me. The boys are driving on their own." She said. I nodded and we left. The boys followed behind us.

About an hour into the drive the curiosity was getting the better of me. I became restless and wanted to know what she had sent me. "I wanna know what she you." Mel said. It was like she could read my mind. "Me too. Im curious." I said. Sighing I grabbed my bag from the floor board. "Im going to open it." I said as I pulled it from the bottom if my bag.

"Wish me luck." I said as I started to open it. "Good luck." She said laughing. It was a giant manila envelope. There were three other envelopes in the manila envelope. One was a smaller manila envelope with the number 3 on it. It looked as if it had a lot of stuff.

There were two normal envelopes in it. One had the number one while the other had the number two. "This is weird." I said pulling out the first envelope. I hesitantly opened it. A letter. Adressed to me from Elaina.

Letter from Elaina-

Skylar

Its been a while. For everything that I have done I would like to say sorry. You have every reason to be mad at me and hate me. You have no reason to forgive me. I am not expecting you to forgive me. The second envelope contains the papers to a restraining order I had placed against me. For you. You can trust that you will never see or hear from me again. I am truly sorry and see the error of my ways. I see where I messed up. I hope that you have an amazing life. And I wish upon you nothing but the best. The third envelope contains enough money to get you and Zach a new vehicle. You owe nothing. You deserve this. This is from me. From no one else. I regret all of the years of pain ive given you. I am truly sorry. The third enveloped contains two different packages of 500,000 dollars. That should be anough.

End note-

"Mel!" I said shocked. "Skylar?" She asked. "Pull over! Pull over!" I said, my hands shaking. She did. The boys followed suit and pulled over as well. "Whats going on?" Bryan asked as I jumped out. They came up to us wanting answers. I read the note and opened the third envelope. Two different bundles of 500,000 dollars as she said. "We can get new cars!" I exclaimed jumping up and down in pure excitement.

"Mel. We need to get to Zach. He needs to see this!" I exclaimed jumping back in the car. Everyone rushed back to their cars as well. We got to the camp site about 2 hours later. Its a three hour drive from the house to the camp site. Four hours including pit stops and restroom breaks.

"Zach?!" I yelled jumping out of the car as soon as the car stopped. "Zach?!" I yelled again, running around like a chicken with its head cut off. "Skylar! Skylar!" He said stopping me from running. "Whats wrong!" He asked, worry written all over his face. "Its Elaina." His face dropped at her name. "She sent something." I said as I handed him the package. "Ill look when we get to the camp." He said. He wrapped his arm around me as we walked.

It was about ten minutes till we got to the tents. "Hi guys!" I said as I hugged everyone I hadnt seen in a few days. "Im going to go look at this. Go find your tent." He said as he walked to his tent. "You are with me." Chris said. I nodded and grabbed my bags. "Lets go." He said as he took my bag and my hand. "This is it?" He asked looking at my bags.

"Yeah." I said. While everyone have 2 bags I only had one. I dont have alot of clothes and im good at packing. "I missed you." Chris said as we climbed into the tent. "I missed you too. But we are together again." I said laughing. "Skylar?!" A voice yelled from a few tents down. Everyone was loud so I didnt know exactly who yelled.

"I'll be right back." I said. I gave Chris a quick kiss and left the tent. "Hey. Did someone yell for me?" I asked as I reached the fire. Bryan Tyler and Tristan were around the fire feeding it. "Yeah. Zach did. Two tents down." Tristan said. "Thanks." I said then I left them. "Zach?" I asked standing outside of the tent that was pointed to. "Yeah. Come in." He said. I heard rustleing in his tent and decided its time to go in.

"I barely heard you. Whats up?" I asked as I climbed in. "Elaina. She is sorry. She gave you enough money to get us new vehicles and more. Skylar. What are you going to do?" He asked me. Putting me on the spot like that.... Thanks Zach... "Uh... I dont know... Can we just forget about this for the week? Worry about it when we get back home?" I asked taking the envelope. "Yeah. Put it up. Make sure no one knows where it is." Zach said shooing me from his tent.

'Make sure no one knows where it is.' His words kept replaying in my head while I walked silently back to Chris's tent. "You okay?" He asked me worriedly. "Yeah... Can I just have a moment alone? Please?" I asked politely. He nodded, kissed me, and left the tent. He joined the others. It seemed as if no one had a care in the world.

After I was sure I was alone and no ine could see me I hid the papers with my things. And joined the party. All the cares I had slipped away. I was safe. I was with my family. I was not alone.
