There wasn't much to say when it came to my parents' deciding to move.
If I thought to say something against their decision, they'd probably tell me to go to my room, because it "wasn't mine to decide on the matter". They didn't care if I wanted to move or not. I obviously didn't want to move. I had just settled down into a new home, with new friends, when all of a sudden we had to move again. I'm not really sure why we keep on moving. All I know is that it's "for my own safety". Why would I be in danger of something? I always think to myself whenever I ask why we're moving. . . again. No one ever answers any of my questions when it comes to moving. My older brother, Jace, always looks away whenever I ask him, like it hurts him not to tell me. After awhile of continuous moving and constant questions, I decided to stop asking. If no one would answer, why ask? I started to not make that many friends (or no friends at all), because I moved all the time and wouldn't see them again. Sometimes we stay at one house for a year, others for a few months, and, very rarely, we stay for two years.
This time, it was different.
This time, we stayed for four years.
And many things happened in these four years.
You might be wondering what happened. If you're not, well, I'm going to tell you anyways.
It all started with a phone call, a new neighbor, and a dog.
My name is Skylar Ravenson, and this is my story.

Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear.

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

"Do I make you nervous, Sweetheart?" He spoke lowly. "Psh, no! I just-" I gasped when his tongue flicked out and touched my neck.
