Cloud wasn't getting any sleep this night. And he had only one thing on his mind. Sky… his sister? He was happy. He was upset. He was confused. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep. Tried being the key word. He opened his eyes. It wasn't working. The clock read 4:37. He closed his eyes again. Opened them again. Only three minutes had past. He was getting frustrated. He got up and slowly made his way to his closet. He pulled out a pair of jeans and a sweater. Quickly changing he went to his door. Opening it quietly he tip toed out. Walking to his father's door he pressed his ear against it. He could hear his rhythmic breathing. Knowing Travis was sleeping he walked downstairs opened the front door and walked out. Carefully shutting the door behind him and started walking down his street.


Fiddling with his necklace he wandered the streets. His necklace had three keys on it. On for his new house, one for a small box that held his private stuff, and the last one he didn't know what it was for. His father gave it to him when he was younger. Travis told him that it unlocked doors from his past. Cloud laughed when he heard that. He was nine when his father told him. He thought his father was just talking Buddhist again. Giggled he turned street after street not really knowing or caring where he was going. Roscoe was like the safest place. Where he lived in London was far from safe. He had been mugged there. So had a few of his friends.
He reached a dead end. He saw a small shed kind of thing. He wasn't really a curious kid, but something drew him to it. Walking up to it he tried to look in the dusty window. It looked as if it hadn't been used in years… or they just never cleaned it. He tried the door… Locked. Duh he thought to himself. He was about to leave when he noticed a heart engraved into the shed. Lily + Travis. He looked at it. He took his necklace off. He tried the only key he'd never used before. He took the key out and tried to open the door. Still locked. Damn, he thought. He should have known it was one and a million with the odds against him. He leaned against the door. It open, he fell in. Landing painful on his ass he looked around.
"Cool." He whispered. He looked around at all the stuff he found. Radio equipment, many blank CD's, chairs, and a few pictures were shattered around the room. Everything was dusty. He looked at the pictures there were of Travis, Lily, Robbie and Ray. This is where they hung out everyday. Cloud thought. He smiled. If they cleaned it up Sky, Justin, Trevor, and himself could hangout there. He took one of the CD's. He took it to the CD player, placing the CD in it and turning it on he heard a voice he was familiar with. Travis.

"Well Shady are you going to play your new song?"

The next voice was also known to him. "All right." Lily said. She started to sing.

Hlf an hour later he heard who the DJ's were, and with that DJ Pronto was saying good-bye to all the RFR listeners. Yawning Cloud looked at his watched. 6:24. SHIT! Travis was going to kill him.


Sky woke up with a yawn. Putting her glasses on she saw it was 9:39. Walking downstairs she went to make herself breakfast. After pouring her cereal and making her tea she sat down and turned the TV. She turned to Much Music and began to eat. Lily came out of the bathroom.

"Hello sweetie." Lily said smiling.

"Mourning mom, we doing anything today?" She asked.

"Hun, I think we need to talk." Lily said worried.

"About what? Nothing is bothering me." Sky said.

"So you found your brother and your father and nothing is wrong?"

Sky looked at her mom. "You know what something is wrong."

"What?" Lily asked.

"Why is it you never told me about my brother? I never even knew I had a brother!"

"I thought it best if you never knew about him."

"Why? You know I've always wanted a brother or sister." Sky said. Her voice was getting high and tear were welling up in her eyes. "Why would you thing that?"

"Sweetie. I don't know." Lily said hugging her daughter.


"Why?" Travis yelled.

Cloud was scared. He'd never heard his dad yell. He had been yelling for the past hour at him. Travis had been up at 6:00. At first he wouldn't even look at Cloud.

"I couldn't sleep!"

"So you went for a walk?" He asked.

"Ya! Granddad told me all about your going out for walks and not coming back till the next day!" Cloud said.

"That is different." Travis said.

"No its not!" Cloud yelled.

"Go to your room."

Cloud stopped. "I'm grounded?"

"Yes." Travis said. Cloud had never been grounded before. Not when he was suspended for a week for beating up a kid. Or when his father caught him smoking a cigarette (He did it for about a month but quit when Travis stopped talking to him.) or when he pierced his eyebrow.

"Go to your room." Travis said.


Travis dialed the number Lily gave him.

"Hello?" Sky asked.

"Hello is Lily there?"

"Yes, just a second. MOM! Travis is on the phone." When Lily took the phone Sky said, "You know, my DAD."

"Go away Sky." Lily said, "Hello Travis."

"So are we still on?" Travis asked.

"Yes." Lily said.

"How about 12? At that little café were we went on our first date?" Travis said.

"That would be great. See you then." Lily said, hanging up the phone.

"What was that all about mom?" Sky asked, forgiving her mom.

"Travis and I are going out." Lily said smiling.

"Really? When?"

"At 12." Lily said.
"That's in three hours." Sky said.

"Oh no! I haven't had a shower, and I don't know what I'm going to wear!" Lily said.

"Mom calm down. You have three hours go shower now and I'll help you choose what to wear."


"Stupid Travis." Cloud muttered.

As he said that he heard a knock on the door. "Cloud?"

"What?" he asked.

"I'm going out at 12." Travis said, trying to make up to his son.

"Its only 10:30." Cloud snapped.

Travis opened the door. "Don't be an ass to me."Becoming angry, and losing all interests in making up with his son at this point.

"Whatever."

"Don't whatever me, Cloud."


And that is the end of this chapter. I will try and write more, I promise :P lol
