-Chapter 9-
In that moment, Sky reached for the blanked on his bed, he was sure that something was underneath it. Suddenly, the door busted open and Cam and Z came in screaming at each other. Sky tried hard to understand what the two of them were talking about, but failed miserably.
Bridge, in the same moment, was looking everywhere for Summer: the little girl was missing from his room, the place where he left her. Since she was nowhere to be found, he breathed hard before going to Sky's room. Luckily for him, it seemed that a war was about to start in it, so he went in slowly hoping that nobody would see him "are you looking for something Bridge?" while he prayed that a hole would open underneath him, he turned around ashamed to find Sky looking at him strangely "No. actually… yeah I was looking for all of you. I made some hot chocolate and I wanted to ask you if you wanted some?"
Cam and Z shook their heads before leaving the room. He sighed happily but he didn't planned what was about to happen "I'd like that if you don't mind. Can I join you?" sky asked almost timidly. Bridge's hart broken in about a thousand pieces in front of him: how could a person go to being such a horrible one to be this cute? He didn't know, but he wanted to find out.
They were obviously tense: they were sit in front of the big fireplace silently, alone, with everybody in the house asleep and with a cup of hot chocolate in their hands. Bridge's head was full of thoughts: he didn't know why, but he was starting to like the men set near him "this is very good Bridge…" Sky said almost in a whisper. The boy looked at him and he saw, for the first time, that his eyes were full of hurt, like the faith of the World was in his hands "mum always make us chocolate…" in that moment, Bridge understood what he was thinking about: he was missing his parents. "I can say with all my heart that she was an amazing woman. I mean, look at you all: she raised you guys amazingly good" bridge said looking at him smiling. He saw Sky smiling softly without looking away from the fire in front of him "she was the best, both with us and with the people of the town. She cared a lot for everybody"
Bridge nodded, almost like he was encouraging him to keep on talking "what about your dad?" he heard Sky sighing, before he kept on talking "well, he was too. He was very good with us, but he was very severe. I don't know… it seemed that he couldn't show his feeling. And I don't know why…" he finished in a whisper. Bridge looked at the big picture of Sky's parent hanging from the wall and he connected all: Sky was the perfect image of his father "and he loved driving helicopters…" he looked at Sky with his mouth hanging open "oh my god! I'm so afraid of them!"
For the first time since they met, Sky's face seemed to lit up hearing Bridge almost laughing "NO! trust me! There's nothing to be afraid of: the moment when he takes off it's the best feeling that you can ever imagine!" he said like a small boy in a candy store. Bridge was really happy with it: it seemed that Sky was able to smile after all "can you drive them too?" in that moment, the magic was broken. Sky's face became once again dark as he shook his head no. after a moment, Bridge understood why and he handed to kick himself: Sky's parents died in a plane crush. It was obvious that the man saw never going to drive one of them. "thank you once again for all of this, but I think it's better that we head straight to bed now…" sky said standing up and, without looking at Bridge, he walked away.
Bridge sighed: he made his way slowly to his room, cursing himself for being such a stupid. The man was opening his hart to him, and he ruined everything. When he entered his room, however, he found what he was looking for: Summer was fast asleep on his bed.
Next morning, a tragedy was happening in the house: Ty had the flu, so Sky ordered him to stay home. The boy protested with all his heart, but the man showed no sign of changing his mind. The boy then, bored almost to death, stood in front of the tv screen almost asleep, when a bubbly Bridge entered the room "what if I tell you that I can make a friend appear out of nowhere?" "I'd tell you that you're crazy…." Ty answered without showing interest in it.
Bridge smiled "so, let's see if I can prove you wrong!" he waived his hand for a while, then he moved to reveal summer behind him. Ty was shocked seeing the girl, but Bridge explained all. The boy understood the problem and he promised to keep the secret. They then spent the afternoon playing into the house.
Our Bridge was really happy that the small boy found a friend to play with finally, but it was getting late, and Summer had to leave " I knew that it was going to end…" Bridge was about to answer, when the heard Sky calling their name. panic then arise in the room: they knew that they couldn't escape, so they hid the girl under a blanket. In the exact moment, Sky entered the room "here you are, how was your day Ty?" the boy smiled nervously "Good!" the man knew that something wasn't right "what's happening?" at that, Bridge started sweating "nothing! Why? Everything is good!" "ok, and what's that pile of clothes behind you?"
Bridge thought at anything that he could say to save his poor life, but nothing came out. While we was thinking, he didn't notice Ty triying to get his attention and Sky removing the blanket from the girl, revealing the poor child frighted at the sight of the angry man "where is this little girl coming from?" Bridge, being a good heart soul, spoke "it's my fault, I've brought her here yesterday…" "SO SHE'S BEEN IN THE HOUSE FOR A DAY? Bridge come to my office now!" Sky said and stormed out of the room, followed by Bridge.
When they entered the studio, the man slammed the door shut. Bridge looked at him almost freighted: the man he met last night was already gone "I knew that I acted really bed in all of this, but really she broke my heart the first time I saw her. she doesn't have anybody!" to boy said trying to make the man understand his point of view. Sky then turned toward him "I don't want your excuses! What you did was wrong, really wrong! You can bring everybody you find on the street here! It's dangerous" Bridge then, tired of all of this, decided to stood up for himself "dangerous? She's only 7! How can she be dangerous? I didn't call the police because I know what's it's like being alone, not having a mum or dad"
At that, Sky got angrier that he already was "this is my house, not a hotel. And I decide who live here and who doesn't" "and you don't want her? with all the people that lives here that doesn't count anything…" Bridge said regretting it in the moment it left his mouth. He saw sky glaring at him "you don't understand. It's a no, she has to live right now!" Bridge then walked toward him, showing to the man that he wasn't going to loose this battle "you know what? I thought this was a fairy tale castle, with a prince living in it. instead this is a horror manor, with count Dracula living in it!" at that, Sky almost lose it: he got closer to the boy and whispered angrily "don't you dare talk to me like than boy…" "or what? You gonna throw me out?" bridge said challenging him. Sky closed his hand in a fist, trying to avoid hitting the boy in front of him "don't provoke me, or you left me no other choice…" "that won't be a problem don't worry" Bridge answered.
Suddenly everything stopped. Sky stopped is rage and looked at the boy worried "what did you just say?" "You've hear me right: if Summer is out, I'm going with her. is it clear mister Shuyler Tate?"
