Eighteen
Skylar's
POVBut then again, that had never actually happened in my life before. Now, it seemed to happening quite constantly. Ever since that particular someone appeared in my life. Nothing seemed normal anymore, not since my first conversation with Caden.
It wasn't exactly his fault, though. This had all started after that mysterious letter I got.
Sent by BM. Blake Matthews.
"What's been going on with you, Sky?" Alex asked, opening my locker for me when I couldn't remember the code.
A lot has been going on.
A lot that

Skylar's POVIt was when somebody nudged me that I jerked awake from my little slumber. I would've probably ignored that slight nudge only if my brain hadn't woken up. But when I did wake up and looked around me, I was left a bit shaken.Oh shit.I was still in the classroom while everyone else had left. The teacher, who was supposed to be the substitute one, was standing in front of my desk, tapping her foot impatiently as she looked at me, probably waiting for me to get my whole self out of there too."Dear, you don't sleep in class. I believe you know that?" She asked me in a distasteful way.
Bitter Heart Twenty
Skylar's POVI glanced down at the folded paper in my hand once again. Without caring if anybody even noticed me, I slipped the note inside Caden's locker. I had no idea if he would even check it. I just hoped that he would.No way in hell was I letting him go this time. We needed to talk about this. I hadn't seen him since that day in class. If he was ignoring me, he wasn't going to do that for long. He couldn't just order me to act along with Blake and then disappear.That's what I had written in the note,We need to talk.-Skylar.If he'll ignore that too like a freaking douchebag, then I'd have no choice but to ignore him too, and all of this stuff—something I wasn't looking forward to.
Bitter Heart Twenty One
Skylar's POV"Oh, I didn't know you'd be here." Blake spoke up once I opened my front door. Though the familiar smirk on his face clearly told me otherwise. I looked at him anxiously and stayed within the doorframe. My throat felt too dry and my hands felt too clammy with sweat. I noticed how much different he looked from Caden; eyes the exact same shade as the blue T-shirt he was wearing, and his hair almost the exact same shade as Alex's— just a bit lighter.They did not look like brothers in appearance. Maybe he
Bitter Heart Twenty Two
Skylar's POVI glared at Caden for the fifty seventh time before looking away. I didn't know how much time had passed since he had dragged me inside my own house –thinking that he could force me to calm down– and I personally didn't care about it.How could I let him drag me into my own house?"Come on, Skylar! It has been a whole damn hour." He looked exasperated by now. "Are you going to say something or not?"I scrunched up my nose ever so slightly and refused to meet his gaze, crossing my arms over my chest and slumping down on the couch I was sitting on. Caden, on the other hand, had stopped pacing and was looking at me now, clearly not happy."I'm not going to talk.
Bitter Heart Twenty Three
Skylar's POVMy parents had always told me to never answer or even open texts from unknown numbers, and I've always obeyed. But this time when I received one, I was way too curious to not open it.And that all happened in my Chemistry class. Mr Nicholas was pacing in front of his desk, gesturing with his hands as he tried explaining us the different types of inorganic chemical reactions.I was trying my best to concentrate on the words coming out of his mouth, trying to remember all that he was explaining, but it seemed way too impossible at that moment. Unlike Hanna sitting beside me, I wasn't even making notes. Something felt wrong in this classroom. I just couldn't pay attention; one way or another, my mind would wander off to something else. Like why the kid in front of me was tapping his foot repeatedly. Or why Mr Nicholas's hair was s
Bitter Heart Twenty Four
Skylar's POVAfter weighing the pros and cons for the umpteenth time, I eventually decided to meet up with Blake. I didn't message him before leaving my house, because that was highly unnecessary. I just got out of my house few hours before midnight, locked the doors behind me, and ventured off into the creepy dark streets behind my house. Nobody would even know that I was leaving at such an hour, especially not my parents since they were once again all busy with their work lives. And for the first time, I was glad for that. I didn't want to handle their questions on top of everything.But what if I didn't make it back?Even though it was the most foolish thing, I was still holding onto Blake's stupid p
Bitter Heart Twenty Five
Skylar's POV"I'm kind of surprised these days." Alex spoke up as he drove out of my driveway.I picked up the cup of coffee he brought for me and wrapped my fingers around it. It was scalding hot, too strong for me—and exactly perfect to scare off the heavy sleep that was nagging on my eyelids. I was glad Alex had remembered to bring my morning coffee."It took some real hard work to wake you up in the mornings. Especially Mondays." He pointed out. "Now, all it takes is one horn of the car and you come out.""Uh-huh." I murmured, pulling off my hair tie from my wrist and tying up my hair in a loose ponytail."Is it because of that gang stuff you were telling me about?" He asked, glancing at me with a small frown.I let out a deep sigh and placed my fore
Bitter Heart Twenty Six
Skylar's POVMy first instinct was to freak out. And I did, so much so that when the person behind me turned me around, I gripped the candle stand in my hands and hit him with it. Not just once, but repeatedly. Mainly because his grip around my waist was still strong, freaking me out even more. "Ow! Skylar, what the hell?" Caden hissed at me.The candle stand fell from my hands in surprise, the impact of it against the floor resulting in a sharp thud. "Caden?" My voice came out in a strained squeak. "Oh God, I'm so sorry!" He pulled up his brows in a frown and was probably about to say something when he jerked his head towards my backdoor, his features clouding with alarm. I followed his gaze despite the uneasy feeling inside me because of the closeness, and saw absolutely noth
