Skylar's POV
There was a grand test next week, thanks to our beloved Physics teacher, and of course, I needed to get an A in this test. I was hundred percent sure that I'd fail Physics if I didn't get an A this time.
That is how I was imagining my life to end, just because of a goddamn subject. Mom would be so pissed off.
Why did I even care?
She was hiding big stuff from me, dad too. They wouldn't be able to blame it on me if I failed in Physics.
Apart from that, the other thing that was concerning me the most was A

Skylar's POV"I'm so happy that you won!" I shouted gleefully before throwing my arms around Alex in a huge hug. And then I pulled away just as quick. "Ew. You reek." He laughed and threw an arm around me, not letting me go. And God, he really did smell bad. "You came, Sky!" He seemed so happy. "What changed your mind?"I shrugged and smiled back. "Somebody convinced me not to make Caden my first priority.'' He faced me and furrowed his brows a little. "Who? Was it that guy you were cheering so loudly with?"I rolled my eyes and managed a small, embarrassed laugh. Alex smiled back, but a bit hesitatingly. Or maybe it was just my imagina

Skylar's POVI mean it, Sky.I woke up with a start, those strange words ringing faintly in my ears. And then someone knocked on the door loudly-my bedroom door."Skylar, wake up!"I blinked open my eyes groggily and sat up. A small groan escaped my lips at the bright sunlight as I tried rubbing the drowsiness from my face. Looking around, I realized I was in my room.And then everything came crashing down upon me. Literally."Geez." I whispered, clutching onto my head. I couldn't even explain how bad my head ached at that moment. My throat had go

Skylar's POVThis was my fifth and the final attempt to open the car door, which in that moment was all I could opt for, even if the car was moving. I was so sure I'd get out this time. So sure. But to my utter dismay, the door didn't budge at all."Open the fucking door, Caden!" I shouted in frustration.He glanced at me from the driver's seat and just that one glance told me how much he was regretting bringing me along with him. Which brought me back to the fact that he had dragged me out of school against my will, during my only free period, and forced me to get inside his car as he drove to God knows where."I'm not opening it, Anderson." He muttered, looking into the rearview mirror.I tried opening the door again

Skylar's POVWe ended up somewhere that looked like a rugged, old town. It wasn't our town, mainly because it was deserted and way too small. I wanted to leave this place, but when I saw a store nearby I had to practically beg Caden to stop there.My feet were killing me at this point.The shopkeeper was kind enough to lend his phone charger for Caden's phone and I was more than thankful to find a chair to sit down on."Thank you for letting us stay." I directed a small, grateful smile towards the shopkeeper as Caden walked inside the shop.The shopkeeper guy, who was alm

Skylar's POVI spent the next few hours wandering around the abandoned house. I made sure to walk into every single corner in the house, admiring the old fashioned architecture and the antique tapestries. It was beautiful in a way. I didn't really see Caden around though, except when I went back to the lounge again. After that, I spent my time upstairs.The corridor upstairs was a bit more creepy; cobwebs strewn across the ceiling, gold-carved lamps on the walls, and every door that I opened upstairs turned out to be a room with a perfectly made bed. Maybe the people who used to live here had OCD or something. Everything was so clean.Unlike my own room.
Bitter Heart Thirty Five
Skylar's POVThere were security cameras now; security cameras in my house, all thanks to mom and dad. That was the only thing I got out of their return. That's the only thing they did before going away again.I was surprised, though. Why did they even care? And although mom had asked me to call her back after hearing her voicemails, I hadn't done that. I didn't want to.I looked down at my Physics textbook, exhaling a deep sigh of irritation. Chicken came out of nowhere and started nuzzling her head against my knee, letting out few soft purrs."Chicks, please try to shut up that sweet mouth of yours." I muttered, flipping a page. It almost seemed like I was dyslexic; all the words jumbling up and blurring in front of me, making absolutely no sense."Okay." I whispered to myself. "So if the velocity is zero,

Skylar's POV"Hey." I greeted as I slid inside Alex's car, passing him a small smile.Though, he didn't smile back, he just frowned. "Where the heck—""Somewhere." I interrupted him, knowing clearly well what he was about to ask. "I know you're mad at me for not letting you know where I was going, but it was so sudden; an emergency. I had to go, and I didn't have my phone with me to call you."I was silently hoping that it'd be enough and he'd let this topic go, and to my relief, he just shook his head and started the car, changing the topic. "How's your Physics's preparation?"I inwardly smiled and placed my backpack on my lap. "It's good." It was more than good actually.I busied myself quickly braiding my hair since I didn't get the chance to do it back at home. I hadn't exactly woke
Bitter Heart Thirty Seven
Skylar's POVI kept on pounding on the door but to my absolute horror, nobody responded. All I could hear at that point was my own racing heartbeat.I inhaled deeply and stopped the failing attempt to shout out for help. Stepping away from the door, I took out my phone from my back pocket, not failing to notice how much my hands were shaking at that moment. I knew I could simply call anyone and get out of here, but I was still scared and out of breath. I was basically panicking. And I didn't even think there were any windows in here for fresh air.Scrolling through my contacts, I tried searching for Alex's name. But my hands were sweaty and trembling, and it wasn't a surprise when my phone slipped out of my grasp, falling down. I immediately fell down on my knees and picked it up.I
