Hey, Night wrote this chapter. I just edited it.


Skyla's POV

"Tech can we go to Chuck's house so I can say goodbye?"

"Sure Skyla I would like to say goodbye as well. We should be about two minutes from his house." Tech says.

"Ok tech we are here let's go say goodbye then hit the road."

I knock on the door and I see a shocked look on Chuck's face as he opens it.

"Skyla what happened? You look terrible. Come in. Hey tech how are you doing?" Chuck asks.

"I'm fine but Skyla and I are leaving," Tech says.

Chuck's POV

I help Skyla walk to the living room. We sit down on the couch.

"Before you ask about why we are leaving, how come you aren't in school?" Skyla asks.

"Today is Senior skip day. So, why are you leaving?"

"My parents have been abusing me for a long time. They also refuse to feed me and spend most of their money on beer," Skyla says.

"Skyla needs a fresh start and I'm going to be there to help her," Tech adds.

"Skyla why didn't you tell me, I'm sure my parents would have let you stay with us,"

"I didn't want to trouble you or your parents," Skyla says. "Besides if my parents found out you could have gotten hurt too,"

At least now I know the real reason she started wearing makeup it was to hide all the bruises she got from her parent's abuse. Why, why, darn it, Skyla I love you. Now, I am losing you!

"I don't remember adding the guard programming into Tech's system, did you add that Chuck?" Skyla asks.

"Yes, I did,"

"Why?" Skyla asks.

I realize that I have to tell her that I have fallen in love with her. Then my hearts starts to race and my mouth is really dry. I clear the lump in my throat and place my hand on her cheek. I can feel a bruise where her father no doubt punched her.

"Skyla, I wish I told you this sooner. I don't just have a crush on you. I'm in love with you. If I could go with you I would,"

"Chuck... I..." Skyla stammers.

Then we hear my parents walk in the room. We turn to face them.

"We didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, son, but lunch is ready," dad says.

"Skyla, sweetheart, I'm sorry to hear about how your parents have been treating you." Mom adds.

"So. Miss Blackwell, what did you make? It smells amazing," Skyla says.

"It's Southwestern Burrito Bowls," Mom says.

"I'll be there in a minute. Tech, please, come with me. I need to give you something."

Tech's POV

Chuck and I go into the garage.

"Chuck, did you also add the transformation program to my systems?"

"No, Tech, what do you mean transformation program?" Chuck asks.

I take a few steps back and change into a Moped. I stay like that for a few seconds that go back into my robot form.

"That is so cool, but like I said the only program I added was the guard program." Chuck says."Please take this pocket knife and some ammo for the gun."

"I'll keep Skyla safe no matter what,"

"Thank you Tech," Chuck says. "After lunch, I'll restock the medical supplies, and add a few others things too, so the two of you can have the safest journey you can,"
