Skylar's POV
"What the heck did I just do?" I muttered to my self as I walked home.
I was supposed to hate him, but I just told him he can make it up to me. I don't want to get hurt again. He is the person who left me when I most needed him. How can I let someone like that just waltz back into my life? I haven't talked to him since, what seemed like forever.
Rain falling on my head brought me out of my thoughts. I ran through the rain until I got to the front porch of my house. I walked in and took off my shoes. When I turned around I found my aunt sitting on a chair with her arms crossed.
"Where were you?" she asked tapping her fingers on the kitchen table. I looked over to the clock. I guess I was at school longer than I thought.
"Oh, um I was at school," I said playing with my hands. I was nervous, I have never gotten in trouble before. Thanks a lot Harry.
"I know you were at school, but why weren't you home when I came?" she looked really mad.
"I was talking to one of the students and we kind of lost track of time, I apologize for making you worry."
"It's alright, but next time tell me if you are going to stay after school okay?" her expression was back to being soft and kind again.
"Okay," I smiled. I thought she would have grounded me or something, I guess not.
"Are we going to go see mom today?" I asked hopefully. I knew she would say no because it's raining.
"Not today honey, it's pouring out, and it's going to be a big storm. I know you really want to see her, so do I. We'll be able to see her tomorrowhopefully," I just nodded and went to the fridge.
"What are we having for dinner?" I asked scanning the food.
"How about spaghetti?" She asked looking up from her phone.
"Sure, I'll be in my room. I'll come help in a bit."
I laid down in my bed thinking of everything that has happened between Harry and I. We used to be best friends, but then he became a popular and a jerk. I hate him so much, I don't know why I didn't leave the school right when I saw him chasing after me. I still remember the day we first met.
***FlashBack***
My mom and I just moved to Holmes Chapel from London. I'm 13 years old. I was helping bring in the boxes from the truck.
"Mom, can I go for a walk?"
"Sure, just be carful and stay close."
"I won't go too far," I assured her.
I walked down the street when I saw a path way. I entered it and was amazed by the beautiful garden. I sat under a tree next to the pond, feeling a cool breeze of the wind. I closed my eyes taking it all in, maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
"What are you doing here?" I was brought out of my thoughts by a deep British voice.
I opened my eyes to come in contact with these amazing sparkling green ones. It was a guy around my age, he had curly brown hair and stelar dimples.
"Oh, um I'm, I was taking a walk and I saw the pathway and decided, 'Oh this looks nice I could probably walk through her to get my mind off of everything', so I came here and sat under the tree-" my blabbing was cut off by him chuckling.
"I should probably go" I said standing up in full embarrassment.
"No wait" he stopped me. "I'm not mad or anything, it's just that I made this and-" I cut him off.
"Wait, you made this place?" I asked shocked.
"Don't act shocked, I am quite the handyman when it comes to stuff like this."
"No, it's just that, it's not everyday that you meet a guy that knows how to plant such a beautiful garden."
"Well, it's true I know every plant there is."
"Oh really?" I questioned not believing him.
"Yup," he said popping the 'p'.
"Then what is the name of the plant I was just sitting under?" I tested.
"As a mater of fact that is a tree," he said walking to it so he could lean against it. I laughed.
"I never would have guessed," I said sarcastically.
"What can I say, I'm the master," he said gesturing towards himself.
"I'm Harry by the way," he said walking to me.
"Hi Harry, I'm Skylar," I said.
"So Harry, did you even make any of this?" I asked gesturing to the amazing place.
"Sort of, my mum planted the garden and my dad and I made the tree house together. We sort of made it like a get away place, where you could get away from life's problems and just enjoy the nature," he explained. We both sat down under the tree house.
"How old were you when you built it?" I asked.
"I was 6 actually."
"It must be nice having such a special bond with your father," I said.
"Yeah it is, but my parents got divorced when I was 7, so I was really torn."
I thought about how my dad and I used to build bird houses together and we would sing along to our favourite songs. I noticed I was in my own little world when Harry started waving his hand infront of me.
"What?" I asked
"Are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah totally," I said with a fake smile.
"When I asked you why you were here, you said that you could probably walk through here to get your mind off of everything, what exactly did you mean by that?" he asked
Should I tell him? No, I just met him.
"Nothing, it's just with the move here it's kind of stressful." I didn't lie cause it was true, but it wasn't that big of a deal, I moved half way across the world already, this wasn't such a massive change.
"So where are you from, I see you have an American accent?" he believed me.
"That's kind of weird considering you don't see voices you here them," I said jokingly.
"You know what I meant," we both laughed.
"Well to answer your question, I'm originally from California, but I moved to London when I was little and now I'm here," I explained.
"Well it's amazing here in Holmes Chapel-" he was cut off by my phone ringing.
"Hold that thought," I said holding up a finger to him while answering my phone.
"Hello," I answered.
"Where have you been, it's getting dark," my mom asked worriedly.
"Oh, I kind of lost track of time," I said apologising.
"Well next time don't be out so late, and come help me unpack."
"Yes mam, I'll be there in a minute."
"Hurry, I don't want you getting hurt out there. Love you."
"Okay, love you too."
I hung up.
"Your mum?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I have to go help her unpack all the boxes," I sighed standing up.
"Well it was nice meeting you Harry," I said.
"It was nice meeting you too Skylar, and you can come here to get your mind off of anything, anytime you want."
"Thank you," I said while laughing.
"Anytime Sky," he laughed.
***FlashBack Over***
Since that day we became best friends, about a week or two after, I told him about my dad. His death is kind of why we moved to Holmes Chapel. My mom didn't like being in the house because it brought back memories of him. To be honest I didn't either. It felt empty, it still does. It feels even more empty considering my mom is in the hospital, and because I don't have Harry with me. It feels like a big empty spot is in my heart, I'm just glad I can still see my mom everyday and talk to her.
Harry and I would always go back to the tree house and do our homework together. On the first day of 9th grade, Harry didn't even talk to me. I went back to the tree house after school, and he wasn't there. It didn't take me long to realize that he was ignoring me.
I was drawn away from my thoughts when my aunt called for me,"Skylar! Skylar!"
"Coming," I yelled so she can hear me downstairs.
"Are you gonna help me?" she asked once I got downstairs.
I completely forgot about helping her with dinner.
"Oh sorry, I forgot. How about I make it, and you can go watch T.V. in the meantime?" I suggested.
"Are you sure?" she asked. I could tell she was surprised.
"Yeah, spaghetti is my specialty," I said proudly.
"Okay, I look forward to tasting this 'specialty' of yours," she said laughing.
She went to go watch T.V. while I got started on the spaghetti. I tasted it once it was finished. It tasted pretty well if I may say so myself.
"Dinner's ready." I announced.
"Yum, that looks good," she said staring at the bowl of spaghetti.
"So who was it that you were with at school?" she asked once we sat down and began to eat.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"When you came home you said that you were with a student at school, who was it?" she explained.
"Oh, um, just an acquaintance," I said. I didn't want to say friend. He wasn't my friend anymore.
"An acquaintance?" she asked confused. "Not a friend?"
"Nope, not anymore," I said sadly.
"Oh, well, summer is coming up. Are you excited?" she said changing the subject.
Thank goodness she did, I didn't want to tell her what had happened between Harry and I.
"Not really," I said honestly.
"It's going to be 3 months of no school, and you aren't the least bit excited?"
"I guess, I'm more glad than excited," I said shrugging.
"What is it that you're glad about?"
"Not having to go to school, and being able to be with mom all day," I explained.
"That's good," she smiled.
We finished eating and Aunt Tracy was doing the dishes while I was playing games on my phone.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked.
"Sure what movie?" she asked finishing up the dishes.
"You can pick. I'll be right back, I need to go to the restroom."
She was sitting on the couch with DVD's that she had picked when I came out.
"Which ones did you pick?" I asked going into the kitchen. Even though I just ate dinner, I still wanted popcorn.
"The Blind Side, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Toy Story 1, 2, and Coraline."
I love Toy Story, I can watch them forever and never get tired.
"Toy Story," I said pouring the popcorn into a bowl.
"Kay."
We have watched both Toy Story's and Monsters Inc. The movie just finished and I am so tired.
"It's almost 2:30. I'm gonna go to bed," I yawned getting up.
"Night."
"Night Aunt Tracy."
I lazy walked upstairs and to my room. I flopped on my bed too tired to get into the covers. I really don't want to go to school tomorrow, I'm too tired.
What am I gonna do with Harry? He probably thinks we're on good terms now. I guess we are, I don't know! He's so complicated, I want to be mad at him but I just can't. I'll see what happens tomorrow with him.
A/N Also on the Jimmy Kimmel show in the afternoon, the boys did like a skype challenge and it was so funny. Who else watched it? I was laughing so hard when Harry said,"I live in the valley." omg I almost died it was so hilarious. Full trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0I9ikjQtuI
