Chapter Four
I woke up to the sound of screaming, and wondered were it came from. I looked down the roof and saw that a girl got hit with a water balloon hitting her face. Wow you just have to love this school. I stretched and went back to the hammock to get my blanket and phone. It was eleven o'clock in the morning on a Sunday.
Then I noticed something. Were did my cross go on the necklace that Tyler gave me? I have to find it. I looked every were in the hammock for it and I then saw it. It was broken. I tear up trying to fix it up and then gave up. I put it in my pocket, grabbed the blanket and my phone then left.
I locked the door and left while grabbing my necklace out of my pocket examining it once more. I sniffled and I was still trying to fix it. When I reached the lobby I dropped the necklace chain and bent down to get it. I saw that there was a phone book on the coffee table were some people were sitting. Grabbing it unaware who was sitting there, taking it to the front desk.
"Um, Hi. I need help trying to find a good place to get jewelry fixed.'
"My that is a wonderful necklace, were did you get it?" I didn't really hate that question. It just brought pain to me every time someone asked.
"My brother." I looked down not trying to look up again.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Well there is one somewhere in the city. It called Pals Jewelry Shop. I go there all the time and they do a good job fixing any kind of jewelry you have."
"Um thanks. Can you give me the directions?" she wrote everything on a piece of paper and I walked back to put the phone book away. I heard someone say 'Hey' but I wasn't sure if it was pointing directly to me so I just ignored it, and walked up to the desk and got the directions and left to go to the shop.
I got a taxi wishing that my mom would soon send me that check for a new car soon, and looked out the window. When I reached my destination I walked inside and rang the bell that was on the desk.
"Hey my name is Welcome to Paul's, what can I do for you." he said with a big grin on his face. I told him about my necklace and asked if he could fix it. "We will be able to fix it, but it will be about three days." he told me examining it.
"That would be great." I said to him with a smile back. I wanted to thank him so I looked at his name tag. It said Tyler. "Thanks." I whispered at him and then fled the place. I walked down the busy sidewalks and reached a surf store. I surfed before. Every summer me and my mom would go down to South Carolina and visit her friends from high school.
I walked inside and saw that there was a white surf board that had a black and red streak on the left side of it. I grabbed it and took it to the counter with a surf suit with it that was completely black.
I bought the surf board and walked out of the store with it. Lucky there was a beach behind it so I walked down to it and got myself changed. I laid my stuff on the sand and ran to the water. When I swam up to my first wave and surfed it, I felt like I was on vacation with my mom again. The waves are the only thing that can take my mind off of things.
There wasn't that much people here so that was good, and there were about five people including me that were surfing. This used to be mine and Tyler's thing. Ever since he's joined the army I haven't seen him or made contact with him. I miss him. And I know that he misses us.
The last thing that I could remember him say to me before he left was "Be a good sport to mom, and try not to get in trouble." he smiled at me and I gave him a hug. "And never forget that Sundays are our days. So even if I'm not there with you, I'll always be surfing somewhere else in the world on a Sunday." and that was it. We said I love you to each other and the he was off.
All I wanted to know was that he was safe and there was only one place that I could go. I made my way to the dry sand and packed all of my stuff. Right when I was walking on the bored walk I saw something. Justin and Miley holding hands while walking towards me.
I immediately grabbed my sweat shirt and but it on with the hood up so I could hide my face. I looked down the whole time wishing that they wouldn't see me. I then started to walk again and one of then bumped into me. "Oh, I'm sorry." Justin said.
"Mhmm." I then started to walk off and then I took my hood down. I turned round and he noticed it was me. I snapped my head back and began to walk even faster. I tried to walk as fast as I could but my surf board was in my way. I then saw that there was a short cut and I could see the Academies parking lot.
I walked through it and started to make a full run for it. Ii cant believe he saw me. This is getting even worse because of what happened that night. I just want it to end. When I reached the parking lot I opened the front doors and entered with a cold breeze hitting me. Instead of taking the elevator I took the stairs cause its always less crowded then the elevators, and I was not in the mood to talk to any one. I reached my floor and ran to my dorm. Thank god Nolin wasn't in here. I went straight to the shower and turned it on as hot as it could go.
When I was finished I got a towel and rapped it around me, I then put on some sweats with a plain white tee v-neck and began too brush my hair. I wasn't that aware what the time was and I then saw that it was two in the afternoon. Well I guess I am just going to have to stay inn my room for the rest of the day. I sat on my bed for a couple minutes and just started getting bored of that.
I decided that I should just wonder around places. It my seem creepster like, but I don't care. I walked out of my dorm and making sure I locked the doors and putting my keys in my pocket. Walking past people I have never meet, I didn't notice that a lot of them had their own way through expressing themselves through their clothes. It was kind of wired but I liked the fact that they know that they aren't like other people. I walked to the elevator and pressed a random button. I hit the one above my floor and just waited. When I reached the next floor the doors open and I could see that Justin was in the hall way talking to one of his friends.
I then hit the basement button and hit the door close buttons as many time as I could before it closed. Just as it were closing Justin saw me and began walking forward. I then hit it once more and it closed.
I let the elevator take me down with my heart still beating as fast as an earthquake. When I reached the basement the doors opened and I could tell that it was used for old storage that they don't use anymore. I walked inside and started to wonder around. As I was walking further down I could see a Grand Piano covered with a white sheet over it. I began walking slowly up to it and took the cover off. It looked as if it hadn't been played in years, and there was dust collected on top of it. I found a smaller sheet rag that was covering and old lamp and started hitting the piano with it so the dust would come off. It flew to my face and hard coughs started to escape my mouth. I when I was done, the piano had a shiny and glossy look to it. Like it was brand new. I sat down and hit a couple keys. It was already in tune. I thought came to me, I don't think anyone has ever even bothered to touch this. Thanking my mother for my piano lessons I started to playing Miserable at Best by Mayday Parade.
I haven't played piano since, well since I came here. I then started the whole thing over and sang along with the keys.
Katie don't cry I know,
Your trying your hardest and the hardest part is letting go of all of the nights we shared. Ocala is calling and you know its haunting. But compared to your eyes, nothing shines as quite as bright. And when we look at the sky, it not mine, but I want it so.
Lets not pretend that your not alone tonight
(I know he's there)
Your probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to dance. She'll say yes.
Because these words are never easier for me to say or her the second guess
But I guess, that I can live without you but without you I'll be miserable at best
Your all that I hoped to find in every single way. And everything I could give is everything I couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home. your thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay
Cause I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet. But I need it
Lets not pretend that your not alone tonight
(I know he's there)
Your probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to dance. She'll say yes.
Because these words are never easier for me to say or her the second guess
But I guess, that I can live without you but without you I'll be miserable at best
Ladada ladadadada ladada ladadadaoh ohhhh! Ohhoooo.
And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you and I cant speak
been three whole days since I've had sleep
Because I dream with his lips on your cheek, and I got the point that I should leave you alone. But we both know that I'm not that strong and I miss the lips that made me fly.
So…
Lets not pretend that your not alone tonight
(I know he's there)
Your probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room he stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to dance. She'll say yes.
Because these words are never easier for me to say or her the second guess
But I guess, that I can live without you but without you I'll be miserable. And I cant live without you but. And I cant live without you but. Oh! Without I'll be miserable at best.
I then smiled. It felt like it was so long since I put my fingers on piano keys. Wow why am I acting so corny? Putting my hands on the keys I then started to play Louder Then Thunder from Devil Wears Prada . It was really the only slow and non screaming song they have, so why not play it?
As I was singing along with it I was really listening to what I was saying. 'What would it take for things to be quiet, quiet like the snow. Well I know this isn't much, but I know. I could, I could be better. I don't think I deserve it. Selflessness find your way into my heart. All stars could be brighter. All hearts could be warmer.' Every word that cam out of my mouth was the truth. It let about what I felt and it felt good. It was like this was going to be the soundtrack of my life in this school.
"What would it take for things to be quiet, quiet like the snow.' When I was singing I thought that I could hear the elevator doors open but I just ignored it and kept singing.'Are we meant to be empty handed. I know I could, I could be better. I don't think I deserve it. Selflessness, find your way into my heart. All stars could be brighter. All hearts could be warmer. What would it take for things to be quiet.'
It was pretty short but I thought I did a pretty good job. I then heard clapping in the back and it made me jump and fall off the bench.
"Sorry!" the person ran to me and helped me up. I looked up and it was Justin of course.
"Its okay, and what are you doing here?" really what was he doing here. This is my thinking time.
"I was trying to look for you. I couldn't find you at the party and Nolin told me that you left earlier, but I couldn't find you."
"I was at my special place." oh crap, why did I say that.
"And were is that." one of his eye brows came up.
"A place for only me to know, and no one to find out."
"Oh, well about that night-" I cut him off.
"Lets just forget about it and act like nothing happened. I know that you want to just be friends and I'm okay with that. So there you go its all done."
"No its not."
"Yes, it is. Just pretend that nothing happened so your life can go back to what it was, or what it is. I'm not sure but just forget about it."
"Skylier-"
"Justin, just please leave it. We both didn't know what we wanted and I guess we just both needed someone."
"But that's not what it was for me."
"Than what was?"
"I'm not sure."
"That's exactly what I'm talking about. We were both just confused. So just stick with Miley. Okay? I don't want to be the back up when you guys are in a fight or something like that."
I started heading for the elevator.
"Why are you forgetting it like that?"
"Cause you just needed someone for you, maybe you were just having second thoughts about Miley. And you just needed someone to see if you were or not." I then pressed the button to my floor.
"But what about you?"
"I'm not sure. I just guess I thought that you needed me so much I needed you so much." the doors then closed. I was heading up to my room and Justin was still in the basement. Everything that needed to be done was done.
All I know is that I couldn't handle it anymore. I just hated the fact that he would use me to make him feel whole. Then, that was it. I was tired of being used.
(The next day)
Well it was Monday morning . I woke up got the things I needed to do done with. Then went off to class. I walked through the hall way and I saw the same person from when I was walking around yesterday. I wanted to talk but I really wasn't in the mood. I walked into first period and sat in a seat.
Everyone took there seat and Justin and Miley were walking in together. I felt a twist in my stomach and I felt an urge to puke. Suck it up Skylier! You can do this. I know I can do this. Nope. I cant do this, but I have to if I will ever end up wanting to become a professional guitarist or singer. I just sat down and looked at the bored. Time went by and I wasn't really sure how much time of class we had left. So when our teacher stopped talking and told us our homework, we had the rest of the time for ourselves. I started the homework because the time I have at night I never have time to do my homework, and end up staying up till two in the morning. Nope, not fun at all. Only if you are a morning person. Which I will never be. Hopefully. I wonder what morning people do in the morning? Those are the kind of creepy people you want to avoid.
Oh gosh, I really need to start thinking about things that matter. What does waking up in the morning have to do with anything, that's only for school. I looked up at the clock seeing how much time went by. I began gathering my things and loading it in my bag. I took my iPod out and started listening to I Hate College by Sam Adams. Which was kind of funny, cause right after it started Adam came down and sat next to me.
"Heeeey, giiiirl." he said in a teasing way. Adam was the funny guy. He had olive toned skin and really short black hair. He almost looked like another Trey Songz, but not has hotter. Though Adam is a very attractive, I can tell you that. "You look down, is there any something you want to talk about?"
"Nope. I am just fine. I guess I'm just a little tired."
"Aw, sad face. Me too, I had to stay up all night doing last night's homework. There was this one problem were that I was on for about fifteen minutes because how lost I was. Damn, I should of bought that high tech calculator." he looked down and started shaking his head in shame.
"Aha, don't feel sad. At least you finished it right?"
"Maybe." he said with a smirk at the side. "Sorry I'm killing your buzz."
"It's alright, you made my mood way more happier then it was this morning."
"No way, do I get a Grammy Award. You better watch out, here come the new Will Smith." the bell rang right after that and Adam and I got up walking together to our next class.
I looked behind me and saw that Justin was looking at us wired, but I shook it off my shoulder and forgot about it.
It was the end of the day, and I was tired as crap. I didn't even want to walk to my bedroom and take a nap cause of how tired I was. Thankfully Adam was next to me, so he put my hand around his shoulder so I wouldn't really even have to try to walk to my dorm.
When I was walking my phone started to ring.
"Hola?" I said in a careless way.
"Skylier?" Justin asked through the phone.
"Oh, hey."
"Hey. Me, and Ryan are going out to eat tonight. And he's bringing Nolin with, and I'm bringing Miley. I just wanted to know if you wanted to come." there was a long thought about that. Should I go and be a third wheel, or should I bring someone with me, or not go at all. Cause if I do go alone then I will look stupid and just sit there eating by myself when two couples are with each other talking and getting all lovey-dubbie. It will be more awkward for me because Miley still has no idea that me and just made out the night of the party. Crap, I was supposed to forget about that. It is now forgotten.
"Skylier?" He called my name through the phone as if I hung up on him.
"Sure, I would love to go." I said in a happy tone, trying to cover my sadness.
"Okay, we'll pick you guys up at your dorm somewhere at seven."
"Alright, see you then. Bye." I put my phone in my pocket thinking 'What have I gotten myself into.'
Then the thought hit me. I took my phone out once again and looked through my contacts looking for Adam's number. I liked Adam, he was is like a brother to me. I texted him asking if he wanted to go out to eat with us hoping that he would.
New Message From:
Adam-
Yeah, sure what time we going?
Skylier-
Well they are going to pick Nolin and me up at seven. So come to our dorm around six-forty if that alright with you.
New Message From:
Adam-Alright, cant wait. See you later then.
I walked to my dorm and saw that Nolin was already getting herself ready. I putt my books down on my computer desk and got my homework out. I grabbed my iPod out and put it on shuffle as I was doing my homework. I started humming along to the song Right Through Me from Nicki Minaj.
There wasn't much to do after I got done with my homework. So I just decided to get ready for the night.
"Hey Nolin. Do you have any fish net stocking I could borrow for tonight!" I yelled at her while she was in the bathroom.
"Yeah, look in the second drawer! I thinks it on the right side of it!" she called back at me.
"'Kay thanks!" I walked to her drawer and pulled out the stockings from it. I laid them on my bed and walked over to my closet. I pulled out a grey skirt that starts right above my belly button, and a purple shirt with ruffles at the top. I saw how it looked and thought that it would seem that I just came from a boring work station or a private school. I stuck with the purple shirt but put the stockings and skirt away.
I grabbed my black slim skinny jeans out with a black blazer to wear over my shirt. From my closet floor I grabbed silver gladiator heals that were just the right height for me because I didn't want to look to tall.
I laid everything on my bed and waited for Nolin to get finished in the bathroom. When she walked out I grabbed my towel from the computer chair and took a quick shower. I then blow-dried my hair and brushed it out. I turned my curling iron on and got my underwear and bra. After put my undergarments on I put my clothes on that were laying on my bed but I didn't want to put my shoes on yet because to paint my nails.
After I got done curling my hair, I grabbed my black nail polish and began painting my nails. I picked out a silver charm bracelet that had a heart on it and a black long necklace. Later after I was done with my accessorizing I put my shoes one and looked in the mirror. Finally, I was done! I looked like Kim Kardashian. Cause I wasn't aiming for that or anything.
I looked at Nolin and she looked banging.
"Wow Nolin. Look at you, your going to be making ever ones jaw drop when you pass by them."
"Why thank you, you don't look so bad yourself." She winked at me and we laughed. We heard the door knock and I walked over to go answer it. Adam had some swag going on tonight.
"Hey," I gave him a tight hug and I let him in.
"Hey, Adam." Nolin went up to him and gave him a hug to.
"You to look amazing tonight! Gosh, if I didn't have a girlfriends I would be up all over you too!"
"Aw, is she not coming?"
"Nope, she needs her sleep tonight. She has a big exam tomorrow."
"Well maybe next time, I am dieing to mean her." Adam showed me a picture of her earlier to day, and wow she was gorges. To bad I wont be able to meet her.
We all sat down talking for about a good twelve minutes. Then the someone knocked on the door.
"I got it." Adam walked up and answered the door while me and Nolin went to get our bags. "Hey guy's come on in. Welcome to my home. It maybe a little girlie, but that's how I like things around my dorm. Oh, how rude of me. Let my introduce you to my maids."
"Aha, Adam. Now that you are done. Can we leave now." I looked away from Adam and looked at Justin. Was he starring at me the whole time. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds. "I think we should leave now, I'm getting hungry." I said still keeping eye contact with him.
"Come on guys." Justin said, we all walked down to the lobby where Miley was waiting for us.
"Hey babe." She walked up to Justin and gave him a kiss that was a little to long.
"Hey." he smiled.
"How come every time I see that I feel like regurgitating?" I whispered to Adam.
"I just try to make it seem that she's trying to eat his face." I made a load laugh at that, not noticing that Miley and Justin were starring at us. I covered my lips with my hand trying to hid me smile. And Adam just made a small smile at them.
"Can we lave now, were all starving!" Nolin complained. Ryan grabbed her by her side and the both walked towards that door.
"Lets get outa hea!" Adam yelled. While we were all walking to the car Justin caught up with me.
"You didn't tell me that he was coming." Justin whispered to me.
"I didn't want to be a third wheel with two couples. So I just brought Adam to occupy me when things did end up like that. And gosh, contain yourself please. He has a girlfriend. She was coming tonight but she couldn't cause he had a test tomorrow." I started walking faster leaving him behind me.
"What was that about?" Nolin asked me when I caught up with her.
"Nothing important." I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. Gosh, I just know I am going to regret coming tonight.
