Watching

Skylar couldnt believe what she'd just seen. In fact, she didnt want to believe what she had just seen. Like so many other things she just wanted to burn it right of her memory, but at the moment that wasnt an option.

She sat on the top step of the long stairway that led up to the bedrooms, her knees pulled up to her chest and her head in her hands.

That wasnt real, you're minds playing tricks on u!

She had to believe that, but when she flipped open her phone and saw the picture, she knew that she was just lying to herself.

Kyla was in jakes arms, with her head burried into his chest. And she was crying.

Why would Kyla, her BEST friend, go crying to Jake?! EW! This wasnt doing good things for her reputation, in fact it wasnt doing good things for Kyla's either.

What could possibly be so horrible that Kyla couldnt tell her? And before Skylar knew it, she was crying. She stomped down the steps and tried not to trip, her vision was blury and she did all she could to not fall face first down the stairs.

She pushed past the people, gawd how'd everyone get here? The living room seemed packed, and it fet like everyone was staring at her. She made her way to the door but someone tugged her out by her wrist before she could open the door herself.

She finally reached her car, with her wrist still firmly clamped by his. Clearly the person was male.

"Stop," He reached forward and wiped a tear off her cheek and tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ear.

She struggled to make out his face through the tears, but she could tell it was Tyler.

"Maybe you should stop," she jerked her arm out of his grasp and fumbled to unlock her car door "you're supposed to be with Kyla! did you forget about her?" She was yelling at him now. "I dont need you to be my knight in shining any more Tyler! I think i made that pretty clear when i kiss-"
He grabbed her shoulders firmly and kissed her on the mouth, hard. She just shut down, she knew she didnt want to be with him and definietly was not going to kiss back. He finally pulled back.

"Maybe you're the one who should just shut the hell up sometimes." He said under his breath, but just loud enough for skylar to hear. He stormed off, leaving her alone and tired and crying.

She didnt even realize it was raining, didnt even think about the fact that she was soaking wet.

She just hopped in her car and drove. Not home. Not to Kylas.

Just anywhere that wasnt here.
