(Skylar's POV)
"Hi, guys.", I said waking up after falling asleep for real. "Hey.". Where they going to tell me? "We need to tell you something.", Mom said. So they were going to tell me, "They're is someone onboard with the coast guard. We thought they left for good teh first time.", she said. "So we'll be outta here soon?", I asked. "Hopefully.", Dad said, "Wait I hear something. Skylar, Doc, come help me make as much noise as possible.", he said. I heard it too foot steps. I was helping with the screaming, but I don't know how much it helped us, the walls looked pretty thick.
Then something amazing happened: the door flew open and standing there was Brady. I started to cry and ran into his arms. Behind him was a scowling Tony. I stuck my tounge out at him (Mature, I know) and we left for the coast guard ship. It was like waking up from a bad nightmare, I wanted to go faster, of course, but getting as far away from Tony DiMera as possible was more important. "We're going home!", I heard Mom's excited voice, they were sitting side by side on a bench. Daddy had his arms wrapped around her, I smiled, but then, John was going to interfere with Mom and Dad. Damn it. I sat on the floor, staring, I couldn't belive it, I was going home.
Then I found myself skipping the welcome home thing, and instead headed straight for the apartment I used to own. I headed to the landlord and discovered I still had it, none of my stuff had been touched, and the rent came in every month. She said that Bo Brady had said that there was a chance I was alive and not to touch my stuff. He and John had been paying for it. I did owe a couple of months though, which I said I'd pay once I got back home for a little while. I owed John and Bo a thank you, but first a nap.
I woke up to discover I had been sleeping for 3 hours. "Shit.", I mumbled and crawled off my couch. I walked downstairs and realized I no longer had a car, so I had to go back upstairs to get my bike and get it down. Thankfully, I didn't call much attention to myself. I started first for Bo and Hope's house, they would know where anyone was. I knocked and the door was opened by Hope. "Hi.", I said, "Sup?", she hugged me and asked when I got back. " Umm, a few hours ago I think.", I said. "Look, I'd really love to stay and I will later, but right now I wanted to know where John is.", I said. "Oh, hes at the hospital. I haven't been to see him in a while.", she said. "Oh, great. I hate hospitals. Anyway, thanks and when you see Bo tell him I owe him big time for not destroying my apartment.", I said before turning to my bike and starting for the hospital.
I asked the receptionist where John was and she told me, after giving me a strange look after seeing me pull into the hospital on a mountain bike. I headed up the elevator and found his room fairly easily. As I entered I found myself face-to-face with Kate Roberts. I suddenly remembered Mom crying and saying John had admitted to sleeping with Kate. I glared and passed her to John's bedside. Once again, I couldn't tell if he was awake or not. Then he opened his eyes due to the slamming of the door (Thank you, Kate). "Hi.", I said. "Skylar? When did you get here?", he asked. "I got back to Salem a few hours ago.", I replied. "And the others...?", he asked. "Fine. They're all back.", I smiled. "Good.", he said, then there was silence.
"Umm, they'res something I need to tell you.", I started, "You're not my father.". "What? How? Paternity tests don't lie.", he said sitting up. "Well, Stefano's results got your name on them.". He looked hurt, then spoke again, "I can't imagine how this is affecting you.". I hugged him and smiled. Soon he would be out of the hospital and back home. And then it would be time to choose who is with Mom and who is with Kate. And I would be in the middle of it. I know that judgement day is coming soon but I'll still have three parents. Who knows maybe Kate will come around one day. Until then...
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some
trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always
belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And
wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I
want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner
in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask
her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will
be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make
you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't
matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's
compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's
always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind
spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look
for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay
awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she
will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you
hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who
you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and
begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window
knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't
mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look
for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay
awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she
will be loved
And she will be loved
in the
background
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please
don't try so hard to say goodbye
Yeah
softly
I don't
mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Try so hard to say goodbye

Yes, I finally posted this last chapter. Before you all scream and hate me for waiting... forever, realize it was a mistake. Really. I posted this in two places, and I thought I posted it here. I'm so sorry. But I hope this is okay, even though my writing skills have improved greatly since this story. I still hope to re-write this one day with better formatting and a little more change. Look for it and review. And a note to Marissa: Why don't you ever answer my IM's?
