Okay! HIIII!
I'm back! Sorry for disappearing on you people for a few days... Heh I had stuff I had to do. I also went to Vegas for the weekend with my family for a tournament and unfortunately was too poor to pay for the freaking $15.00 internet. So, now here I am back home and ready to write! Haaa:) So I know I kinda left you guys with a bit of a cliffie here, but I will continue now:)

After a good snack, Skye decided it would be best to lie down. She figured she'd eaten something bad that had upset her stomach and lay down on her bed to rest. But as soon as her head hit the pillow, there was a knock on her door. She groaned and forced herself up and down the hall to her door.
None other than Maddy Shannon was there. A look of concern flickered across her features when she saw Skye.
"Skye, How are you feeling? Josh told me you ran off not looking too well." Maddy stepped inside after Skye had stepped back to signal that she could come inside.
"Better. I think I just ate something bad." Skye moved down the hall and Maddy followed suit.
Maddy nodded at her quietly and an awkward moment seemed to pass. "Skye? Can I ask you something?"
Skye met Maddy's gaze. "Yeah what is it?"
"Well..." Maddy rocked slightly onto the back of her heels. "I was just curious if you even wanted to be my Maid of Honor. It's a lot of work and I kind of just threw it on you out of the blue.."
Skye looked taken aback. "Wh-What? Why wouldn't I want to be your Maid of Honor? I am so happy you asked me instead of someone else. I mean, sure we don't know eachother that great yet, but I think we can become good friends if we try to and I'm willing to try by being your Maid of Honor. I just have a lot on my plate right now considering what I..." She paused to think of the right words. "Went through... And I just don't know about Josh right now. And with Taylor kind of on my back about this Lucas thing I think I'm a bit overwhelmed."
Maddy listened to Skye intently. "Do you need someone to talk to?"
Skye shrugged. "I don't know. I had a pretty weird experience out of the gates with Lucas and I just need to sort through it first by myself."
Maddy nodded knowingly. "What about Josh? You want to talk about that? You said something about him too."
Skye sighed and slumped down onto a stool into her kitchen. She lent her elbows on the counter and put her face into her palms. "I don't know!" Skye grouched.
Maddy came and leaned on the counter across from her. She looked at Skye expectantly. "Well are you going to tell me about it?"
Skye groaned. "I just feel like he's forcing himself on me and expecting me to respond the same way! But I don't think I'm ready! I mean, I know it's only been a day since I've been back, but I guess I'm just... Irritated with him."
Maddy chuckled. "Josh is really forceful and protective. He's always been like that. He's just like my dad.."
Skye ran a hand over her face before sighing and letting her hands drop down to the counter and she met Maddy's gaze. "What should I do?"
Maddy shrugged. "I don't know. Tell him you need space maybe?"
Skye shook her head. "Easier said than done."
Maddy nodded. "Yeah, but doesn't he deserve it before he pushes too far and you freak? He is my brother after all and I don't want to see him get hurt."
Skye nodded. "Yeah I guess you're right..."
Maddy looked at the time. "I have to go. I offered to help with teaching a third grade class today. But think about it okay? And when you're ready to talk about what else is bothering you, give me a holler and I'll be here."
Skye nodded gratefully as they walked back down the hall toward the front door. They said their goodbyes before Skye shut the door again and Maddy walked off. Skye was relieved she'd left then because she was beginning to feel nauseous again and didn't want to be sick in front of Maddy, but she really did enjoy the talk they'd had. She went back to her bedroom and laid down, concentrating on the rest she'd promised herself, and for the second night in a row she had dreams about Lucas.
Kind of a filler chapter (and it was too short! but my class is about to end so I had to wrap it up sooner) but I promise the updates will begin to become somewhat more frequent. I just had finals last week and had to head to Las Vegas for a few days and I was unable to update because I'm a poor person and can't pay for 15 dollar internet at my hotel. (That's WAAAY too much money!) So now I'm back and finals just ended but with a new semester I'll be SUPER busy! So I will try to update as soon as possible. I'm actually updating in my Creative Writing class right now... I know I'm pathetic.. -_- But Thanks guys for being patient. I am NOT going to discontinue this story. It is unfortunately nearing an end though. So yeah... I'm sorry guys... :( But I think I may write a sequel later on in life. But for now, I'm just too busy. I probably will write some when summer comes around and Terra Nova comes back on (Oh god I hope it comes back on. If it's canceled, I'll die). But you guys are awesome and reviews encourage me to write and update sooner. I hope I get lots of reviews! Love you guys!
