Chapter 1: The background.
Skye sighed and zipped her bag up, slinging that one over her shoulder, she grabbed the handle on her suitcase and wheeled it out to her black 4-Runner, that was parked on the street. She put her stuff into the trunk, and turned around, quickly walking back into the house to get her black lab Puma. Grabbing his tote full of food, bedding, and toys. She added that to the pile of stuff and whistled for him to follow her out to the car. Opening the back doors, he jumped up into the car, and instantly made himself comfortable. Double checking, she had everything, she got into the car and buckled up. Starting her music before putting the car in drive.
Skye's mom had fallen off the wagon again. Her drinking had gotten worse, causing Skye's half-sister to be taken away and sent to live with her grandparents. Since her little sister was gone, Skye didn't see the need to be in the environment with her mother anymore. Skye had worked endlessly to help her mother keep the roof over her head. She put countless hours in at the town's restaurant, only to be disappointed every month when the paycheck she worked for, was taken and used for drugs or alcohol.
About a year later, Skye realized she couldn't fund her mother anymore. She wanted so much more than this life she was currently living. Without Jenny, her little sister, Skye didn't need the mental abuse her mother put on her. So, Skye contacted her father. She begged and pleaded for him to allow her to live on his farm, with him and her step mom, whom she had only met once or twice. He agreed, just by the sound of skies voice, he could hear how strained she was. He required she get a job, but assured her that the money she would make, could be for her and her only. So, the very next day, Skye cleared out her room, loading everything into the car. And making her journey onto bigger and better things.
