Authors Note: I'm so sorry for the lack of updating. I am having serious writers block. Some of you guys have given me really great ideas but getting to that point with detail is hard when you have writers block :( I'm sorry for a short chapter and I am trying my best to get chapters out with quality but please do be patient. Thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed.. I cried with the long ones and really do appreciate them. All mistakes are mine.

After talking to Teddy I feel a lot better. It felt good to talk to him like this and physically be around him. "I'm glad we talked Teddy. I've missed you alot since you started college." I curl up next to my brother and he holds me tightly.

"I've missed you alot too. It was definitely hard moving away from you. I did miss Mom and Dad a bunch but it was you that I came home to and now I come home to an empty apartment. It took a lot of adjusting to do." I'm surprised with what Teddy said. I know he loves our parents but for him to come home to me was unexpected. "Do you know where you're applying to for college?" I can hear the hesitation in his voice and it makes me giggle.

"Well since you asked, definitely not Harvard." I look up to see Teddy with his puppy dog face.

"You are such a mean person. Unbelievable." The humor in his voice is intense. But with all seriousness, I didn't know where I wanted to go for college. I haven't even thought about it since my SAT scores came in last May.

"I don't know where I'm going to apply. I haven't thought about college at all. But I know that I want to work with Dad. Just seeing him with so much power and skills like that fascinates me." I have a quick flashback of when I was little.

Daddy use to pick me up from pre-school and take me to work until it was time for us to go home. I remember having so many things in his office. Even my own desk and chair. Daddy would make up fake documents for me to sign and at the time I was beginning to learn how to read. We use to have small business meetings regarding what book I should read next or what dessert we should have after dinner.

I feel in love with Grey Enterprising & Holding the second I stepped into that building as a little girl. There is nothing I want to do more than to sit in an office next to my dad. "The only thing that's stopping me from telling Dad I want to follow his footsteps are my problems of not deserving to be a Grey. I don't want to disappoint him. That's my biggest fear. Disappointing Dad."

"Phoebe, it's not easy being a Grey. Mom had a hard time adjusting to it. I have a hard time being around people. And it's taking away your self-esteem away. But it's who we are. We were taught to fight for what we want and to work hard to keep what we earned. I hate to see you self-sabotage yourself like this because it's not who you are." I know my brother is right. Self-sabotaging will get me nowhere but finding a way to fight it won't be easy either.

"Do you think Dad will let Skyler move in?" I started to play with Teddy's hand. It's an old habit I have seem to never break.

"To be honest with you, I don't think he'll let Skyler move in. But I do think he's going to financially support Skyler throughout the school year. Dad knows how important it is to get through senior year, especially with grades for college." Teddy lets out a deep sigh. I know Skyler won't accept the money. He would feel like a charity case rather than a person.

It's one of the many things I adore about Skyler. Other people would jump at the sight of free luxury but Skyler doesn't. He likes to earn what he works for and I will always be in awe about it with him.

"You know Skyler won't take it. For the fact that Dad would be paying for rent and school expenses. He's better off just staying with us at home. Teddy, I need you to talk to Dad. I need Skyler with me. He's the only one who can help me while you're here." I start to get defensive. What do I have to do to get Dad convinced?

"Phoebe, I'm not really comfortable with the idea myself. Dad is already suspicious about the two of you but I know you have feelings for him. It's dangerous with the two of you under the same roof when you have add-ons like that." I can't believe Teddy's words. For the fact that he thinks Skyler and I would do something like that disgusts me.

"Do you not trust us or something? Do you honestly think Skyler would take advantage of me like that." My words are with anger.

"I didn't say it like that. Don't mix my words." Teddy is getting defensive. I don't want to argue again when we just made up from the last one.

"I don't want to argue but it's obvious that I am the only one that wants Skyler safe and I know what he needs right now and that's a supporting family that will be there for him. Putting him in an apartment won't solve anything when he needs people who he trusts. News flash for you Teddy, we are the only people left for him and I can't believe for a second that you would think anything otherwise for him." Before I can continue, I hear footsteps coming from behind me and I know it's Skyler. I turn around to see him reading something on his phone.

"Not to disturb or anything but can we go out. I haven't seen Harvard before and would love to explore the city here." Skyler speaks without knowing we were just talking about him.

Teddy glances at me with a warning look and I know the conversation is over but still on hot stone. I hate arguing with him but when it comes to Skyler, I will stop at nothing to make sure he's safe and protected by all needs.

"Sure, just make sure to grab a jacket. It's get really cold out at nightfall." Teddy gets up and heads to the room to grab his keys and a jacket. Skyler already has one on and brings one out for me.

"Do you feel any better now?" He slips on my jacket for me.

"Yeah, but theres still some tension. We'll figure it out. We all know how hot headed I can be." Skyler laughs at my words and it causes me to smile.

"I love your temper. Keeps me on my toes all the time. I rather see your face red with anger than tears crawling down your soft cheeks from the pain." Skyler brushes his finger against my cheek and I lean into it.

"What would I do without you, Skyler?" I whisper and pull him into a hug. He holds me for a moment and pulls back but I keep my hand around him.

"I never want to find out." He whispers.
