Silver Hills Year 2022

It had been thirteen years since Alex and Jen had gotten married, they both lived a good life staying in the present. Alex had become a good father to Jen's son Sky and became parents to a beautiful daughter named Andrea, being a normal family and living a normal life. Just as things were going great for them, though it wasn't too long when Sky was thirteen his grandfather had died from a heart attack, the news devastated him, years had passed Jen had fallen ill and had a few months to live, she wanted to live these final moments with her family, though Sky wasn't taking it very easy since he wanted her to still be alive till his eighteenth birthday and wasn't ready to lose her yet. As months have passed, her illness had gotten worse and was rushed to the hospital, Jen knew deeply her life was already ending and to accept the fact she wasn't going to live as much as she thought.

While at the hospital, Sky who was seventeen was with his sister Andrea who was thirteen, were in the waiting room, while Alex was with Jen by her side laying in a hospital bed.

"You think she's going to be okay?" Andrea asked.

"She has to, I'm not ready for her to leave us yet." Sky responded, they both couldn't help but be sad wanting their mom to still live, they then saw Alex coming from Jen's room and walked to where they were.

"How is she?" Sky asked.

"Dad. Is mom going to be okay?" Andrea asked, Alex didn't know what to say.

"I need you two to be strong." Alex finally answered.

"Why do you say that?" Sky asked. "Please. Tell me: Is she going to be okay?"

"I'm sorry...there was nothing the doctors could do...she's gone." Alex broke silence telling Sky and Andrea, as they both broke down in tears, Sky didn't want to believe it, but it was true, Jen had passed away.

A Few Days Later

It was cold and rainy that day at Jen's funeral, there were some people who attended, though Sky didn't see his mom's friends and his uncle there and wondered if they received the news, he then stared at his Mother's casket as it was lowering down in the ground, he felt tears fall from his eyes and still couldn't believe she was no longer here anymore, resting in peace and buried next to Wes.

After the funeral, Sky was at his house alone in his room though with Chase a now grown dog, was next to his bed, not wanting to see anyone, while in the living room, Alex was with Eric and Taylor along with their kids.

"If there is anything you need, don't bother in telling us." Eric said.

"Thanks Eric. I appreciate it." Alex said.

"I know it's not going to be easy, but hang in there." Taylor said.

"Again thank you, I'll go get Sky to say bye to you." Alex said.

"It's fine, no worries. Take care." Eric said.

"Same with you." Alex responded, as they all left out, he then went upstairs and knocked on Sky's room. "Sky! Can I come in?" he didn't hear a response and opened the door seeing he was already asleep and so was Chase, he then closed the door. Sky heard the door close and woke up only was pretending to sleep, he then looked at a picture of his mom and him when he was five both looking happy and felt a tear fall from his eye.

Weeks Later

Sky along with Tyler and Megan got out of school and stopped to get something to eat and sat to where an empty table was at, then surprised him with something they gave him.

"You guys didn't have to you know." Sky said.

"Why not? We know what today is." Tyler said.

"Happy eighteenth birthday, from both your friends." Megan said.

"Thanks. But nothing has been the same." Sky said.

"I know, you wish your mom was still alive to celebrate with you." Megan said.

"It's been a rough few weeks, I miss her a lot." Sky said.

"Hang in there, you still got Andrea and your step-dad." Tyler said.

"Who knows for how long I'll be with them after I leave off to New Tech City." Sky said.

"You mean, you finally got in?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah. Surprisingly I did, hopefully I'll be somewhere where no one thinks I'm a..." Sky didn't want to say the word.

"Don't think that, I mean who knows how or why you have some kind of power." Megan said.

"Yeah. Who could forget about when you first found out about it." Tyler said.

"Tyler. Don't remind him." Megan said.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to." Tyler said.

"It's okay, I'm over that." Sky said, when he remembered back when him and Tyler were at soccer practice when they were thirteen and a kid knocked Tyler down on purpose and they both were about to fight when Sky stepped in and tried to defend his friend, but he got pushed and fell on the ground and was about to get punched when suddenly Sky felt something on his hand and everyone stared in shock seeing it was some kind of force field has formed, he himself was surprised, when he got up off the ground, everyone was staring at him and backed away from him except Tyler.

"You then ran off, and I followed along, I wasn't like everyone else who thought you were a...you know." Tyler said.

"When Tyler told me what happened, and you showed me what you could do, I thought it was cool." Megan said.

"So did I and I do thank you for defending me." Tyler said.

"When I told my mom and Alex about this, they were surprised too, so during half the summer we left town to New Tech City, that was where maybe I could go there one day." Sky said.

"All I can say is congrats to you. You are already starting ahead on your future." Megan said.

"Congrats to you. You'll still be my best friend from far away." Tyler said.

"Thanks. You two." Sky said, and opened it, seeing it was a picture of him along with Tyler and Megan.

"So you won't forget us." Megan said.

"Thanks. I really do like it." Sky said, and hugged both of them, then headed their way to Sky's house. When they arrived, Sky opened the door and they all went inside and heard some voices in the kitchen then saw Alex, Andrea, Eric and Taylor there surprising him.

"Hey. The birthday boy is here." Andrea said, and hugged her brother. "Happy birthday Sky."

"Happy birthday, Sky." Alex said and hugged him.

"Happy birthday. Hope your doing okay." Eric said.

"Happy birthday." Taylor said. "And thanks you two."

"You two know about this?" Sky asked.

"Yes we did." Tyler answered.

"Well, we had to distract you for a bit." Megan said.

"Come on, and blow out your candles." Andrea said, taking him to where the cake was at the table, then blew them out.

"Well know that I'm eighteen, I might as well say thanks for the little surprise, but to be honest I just don't feel like celebrating, my mom is no longer here anymore, neither are her friends and my uncle too, who knows if they received the news that she's dead, sadly nothing is the same without her. I'm sorry, you all had waisted your time here." Sky said, then left upstairs to his room with Chase following him.

"I guess that was a little unexpected there." Tyler said.

"Your telling me." Megan said.

"I'm sorry about this." Alex said.

"It's okay, we know he's still affected about his mother." Eric said.

"We understand, there is nothing to be sorry about." Taylor said.

"Thanks." Alex said.

"Will get going and try to talk to him." Eric said.

"I will. Bye." Alex said.

"Bye." they both said, and left along with their kids.

"Dad. You think he'll be okay?" Andrea asked.

"He will. Set up the table, I need to talk to your brother." Alex said.

"Okay dad." Andrea said, while Alex went upstairs and knocked on Sky's room.

"Sky! Can I come in?" Alex didn't hear a response, then the door opened.

"Do you mind. I'm trying to study." Sky said.

"We need to talk." Alex said.

"There is nothing I want to talk, so if you'll excuse me." Sky was about to close the door, but Alex stopped him.

"You have your mother's attitude, I'm not leaving till we talk, and don't make this harder." Alex said.

"Fine. Come in." Sky said, as Alex walked in and shut the door.

"What was that all about earlier?" Alex asked.

"Just how I felt, at least they understood." Sky answered.

"That doesn't mean you have to act like this, I know it hasn't been easy for you, your not the only one, I miss her too, you know how much I loved her." Alex said.

"You don't get it, no one does. She has always been there for me, understands how I feel, and doesn't even think I'm a...you probably know what I mean." Sky said.

"I know, but your not, your just different, which is not bad." Alex said.

"Then why do I have this kind of power?" Sky asked.

"There are things that I wish I could explain, only if your mother was still around we'd both explain it to you, but just not right now. I hope you understand." Alex said.

"Like always, just don't want to tell me nothing, I'm not a kid anymore, I'm an adult now, so if there is anything you don't want talk, then leave." Sky said, and Alex left his room then closed the door. Sky sat on his bed, with Chase comforting him and started to think about his mom.

"Mom. I wish you were still here. I miss you." Sky thought to himself.

The Next Day

Sky was still asleep when Chase licked him, which woke him up easily.

"Chase. Still can't believe you always keep doing that." Sky said, hearing Chase whine and knew why. "I know, let me get ready first then will go." he got off the bed then started to get dressed ready to go for a run with Chase putting on his leash and headed downstairs.

"Morning Sky." he heard Andrea's voice.

"Morning. Be back in a bit." Sky said.

"Before you go, I understand why you were acting they way you were yesterday, I know it's been hard on you, I miss her too, she didn't have to die, but she'll always be with us in our hearts." Andrea said, and hugged him.

"Thanks. I'm glad you understand." Sky said.

"No problem. Enjoy your run." Andrea said and petted Chase, then left.

"Sky." he heard his name as he was about to leave, and saw it was Alex who called him.

"What is it?" Sky asked.

"We still need to talk." Alex answered.

"I really don't want to talk to you, we already talked yesterday." Sky said.

"It's really important." Alex said.

"Well, whatever it is, I really don't care and don't worry now that I'm eighteen I'll soon be leaving here." Sky said.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked.

"I'm going to New Tech City. I got in to the academy I've been wanting to go to." Sky answered, and Alex was surprised.

"When were you going to tell me this?" Alex asked.

"I don't have to tell you anything and I've had it planned for a while ever since I found out about my power, and if my mom was still around she would have been okay with it." Sky answered.

"Maybe. Though, your making up your decisions right away. Is this what you want?" Alex asked.

"Yes. I'm now old enough to make my own decisions, you don't have to worry about me anymore, your not my dad." Sky explained.

"I may not be, but I did my best for you." Alex said.

"I'll be okay. You will only have Andrea to worry about, so I guess I'm done talking to you." Sky said and walked out the door with Chase.

Meanwhile

Eric and Taylor were at their house, eating breakfast with their kids.

"So, is there anything you want to tell me, Tyler?" Eric asked.

"Not really." Tyler answered.

"Are you sure? Unless your keeping it a surprise." Eric said.

"I don't know what you mean?" Tyler asked.

"It's okay, we already know." Taylor said.

"Know what?" Tyler asked, when Eric showed him an envelope.

"That you got in to UC." Eric answered.

"Tyler. Why didn't you tell us?" Megan asked.

"Does it matter?" Tyler said.

"It does, when you really worked hard for something you want." Taylor said.

"Mom is right. Congratulations." Megan said.

"I'm really happy for you, hopefully this will help you decide on your future." Eric said.

"Dad. There is something I have to talk to you." Tyler said.

"About what?" Eric asked.

"Is that...I don't want to go to UC." Tyler answered, and they were all surprised on what he said.

"What?" Eric said.

"But you've worked real hard to try and get in." Taylor said.

"I know, but this was never my plan it's actually both of yours for me." Tyler said.

"If you don't want to, then what do you really want to do?" Eric asked.

"I want to join the Silver Guardians." Tyler answered, and Eric couldn't believe it.

"Since when did you have this in mind?" Eric asked.

"For a while, it's what I want to do." Tyler answered.

"It's not how you think it is." Eric said.

"You don't think I could do it. Do you?" Tyler said.

"That's not what I meant." Eric said.

"Sounds like it does, just give me a chance and I'll prove to you that I can." Tyler said.

"Your not making this easy, your mother and I did what's best for you and your sister to have a good future ahead." Eric said.

"This isn't what I want, it's what you both want for us, I'm not a kid anymore I'm going to be old enough to make my own decisions soon." Tyler said.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let you join anyway." Eric said.

"I thought you'd be happy for telling you this, that maybe I could continue on as one, but I guess I was wrong." Tyler said.

"Understand that, this is not for you." Eric said.

"Then, give me a reason why?" Tyler asked.

"There are things I can't tell you at the moment, as of now your not joining the Silver Guardians" Eric answered.

"But dad-" Tyler was about say something.

"YOU ARE GOING TO UC AND THAT IS FINAL. END OF DISCUSSION!" Eric raised his voice, which surprised his family.

"Fine. Whatever you say, commander Myers...I hate you." Tyler said to his father and stormed off angry to his room.

"Tyler! Tyler!" Eric tried to stop him, but Tyler shut the door in front of his face, and went back downstairs. "I didn't meant to raise my voice at him."

"It's okay, I know you didn't." Taylor said.

"He didn't mean to say that to you, dad." Megan said.

"I'll go talk to him." Taylor said, and went upstairs.

"He'll calm down, he can't stay mad at you." Megan said.

"I hope your right." Eric said, as Megan hugged her father.
