Twenty Six
Skylar's
POV"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

Skylar's POVI didn't know how I was still standing on my own two feet when that little act had drained enough energy from inside me. Caden, on the other hand, looked totally the opposite; calm and unbothered.I leaned back against the wall as I saw him opening the door. All my senses had gone haywire, I didn't even feel the surprise when I saw that familiar redhead guy –Seth– and Shane coming inside. I didn't even know how to respond when Shane passed me a casual smirk, Seth giving me a small wave of acknowledgement from behind him.Seth looked back at Caden and I saw him speak out some words before Caden took out a small card from his pocket, passing it to him.Why did he look so unbothered? Why

Skylar's POVTwo days had passed by.Mom and Dad still hadn't returned back from their trip and I didn't bother asking them about it again. They were probably just trying to prolong it even more, trying to come up with something to tell me. And I had a feeling they won't be telling me the truth.If they wanted to, they would've told me everything on that phone call.But they hadn't. And I wouldn't let go of it so easily. I think I deserved an explanation.In school, things went on the same. I didn't see Caden after the thing that happened at my house. I didn't see him in the school hallways, and if he ever came across me, he didn't bother to talk either.A part of me didn't want to see him too, and the other part of me felt gu

Skylar's POVI needed some time away from all of this mess; my parents, the locker which I still knew nothing about, and my Physics grades—which were flunking, to be honest.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
Bitter Heart Thirty One
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
Bitter Heart Thirty Two
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
Bitter Heart Thirty Three
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
Bitter Heart Thirty Four
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.
