Sylvia's P. O. V

I kept drumming my fingers on the table, distracted. Every time I remembered Tasha's threats, a shudder runs down my spine. But seriously though, why does she hate me that much? It's not like I did anything to her.

The Bell soon rang for the end of class and without waiting for what the teacher had to say, we trooped out of class. I needed to see Patrick. I wanted to know if there's was any update concerning the project we had together. I found him at the library, his head buried in another book. I noticed there were some files neatly arranged before him.

Suddenly nervous, I brushed my bangs off my face and dusted imaginary dusts from my clothes. Fixing a smile on my face, I called out to him. He raised his eyes and, glancing at me for a second before facing his book. I don't know why, but it kind of hurt my feelings. Is he ignoring everyone again?

" What are those?" I asked after a long strained silence. He pushed

    Tasha's P. O. V I stomped out to the garden, ruffling my hair. My blood was boiling, and it was so hard to calm down. " I can't believe it!...." I muttered, puffing. " Calm down Tasha. Maybe Alex didn't mean it." Linda tried to say but I brushed her off. " What do you mean he didn't mean it? Of course he did. Didn't you see the way he looked at me? Like I was some idiot?" I said, glaring at her. Linda played with her hair, looking away. " Oh God..." I muttered, trailing off. This just gives me more reason to hate that Sylvia girl more. And I promise myself that I'll do everything I can to get back at her. Everything.... Sylvia's P. O. V Standing at the door of the Jones house, I took in a deep breath. I already told my mom about the babysitting job I got and so far she seemed cool with it. Let's see how today goes. Pressing on the doorbell, I waited for a reply. Soon the door opened and the maid I had met earlier appeared. " Hell

    (Presentation day) Patrick's P. O. V " No....no...NO!" I yelled from my sleep, panting. Shit, i was having a nightmare. Thank God, it felt so real. Taking in deep breaths to calm my jittering nerves, I ran my hands through my hair. Why would I have a nightmare of Sylvia dying in my hands? We've barely even talked the entire last week? " Maybe it's just my subconscious playing games with me." I muttered, dismissing the thought. I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't stop thinking about New Jersey. Maybe that's why I had the nightmare. Glancing at the wall clock, I realized I had woken up a bit early. Since I can't go to sleep, there's nothing else to do than to prepare for school.... Sylvia's P. O. V The alarm bell rang, and I groaned, turning to another corner of the bed. Clicking on the snooze button, I snuggled deeper into the sheets, trying to catch a few minutes of sleep. " Sylvia, how many times have you pressed that snooze button?"

    Patrick's P. O. VAfter some time waiting for the school to be slightly empty, I was on my way out of school when I heard a faint knock. Looking behind me, I realised there was no one behind me. Not thinking too much about it, I headed my way. It came again, this time a little fainter. Curious, I called out. " Is someone there?" No reply. I looked at the doors in the hallway. They were all closed. Surely this school isn't haunted, is it? Waving the thought off, I made to leave again, but something stopped me dead in the tracks. The nightmare I had came this morning came flashing through and my heart skipped a bit. Oh God, it better not be true. I turned back and started searching all the rooms. They were all empty till I got to the Janitor's closet, which was locked. I tried pushing, but it wouldn't budge. " Hello, is someone there?" I asked, knocking loudly. But who would lock it? The school isn't completely closed yet. Not taking it anymore, I forced the door open

    Tasha's P.O.V"What are you talking about?" I asked, still surprised by his question."You know perfectly well what I'm talking about. " He said, his eyes getting darker and stormier by the second.I fidgeted but didn't say anything. There's no way that I'm admitting I'm the one."Are you the one?" He asked again, this time his voice getting a bit higher. That immediately pissed me off, and I shot back at him "So what? What if I was the one who locked her up in the Janitor's closet? What are you supposed to do about it!?"Alex's mouth hanged open as he stared back at me, our chest heaving. Eventually, he narrowed his eyes and continued more discreetly."Do you know that Sylvia is claustrophobic? What if she died there?""That's none of my business! She should learn to stay in her place. I won't let her take what's mine." "And what's yours that she's taking?" "You!" I announced, then continued more calmly." She's trying to take you from me.""What?" Alex asked, dumbstruck."Why are

    Alex's POVArriving at school, I immediately went in search of Sylvia. I wanted to apologise on Tasha's behalf. I went around her classes but didn't find her.Maybe she's not in school today, I reasoned. I guess. Have to try another way, I thought to myself. On my way to my class, however, I bumped into Tasha."Hey..." she called out, but I didn't reply."You're ignoring me again? I said I'm sorry. You didn't even pick my calls. ""Tasha, I'm not in the mood for all of this. Can you just let me go? ""Not until I hear that you've forgiven me. " She stated. I scoffed and walked out. I'm not ready to deal with her yet.***A few hours later. In schoolPatrick's POVI was on my way to my next class when I overheard Tasha and her friends. I normally wouldn't pay attention to them, but I stopped when I heard them mention something about Sylvia. I slowed down my steps but made sure I was within earshot."She should have stayed longer in that place, I wonder how she got out... " Tasha said t

    Sylvia's P. O. V"Why?" Alex asked."I-I don't know..." I stuttered, surprised. Why wouldn't Patrick tell me that Alex sent an apology? Could it be what he wanted to tell me that he changed his mind about?"Maybe he forgot, " I suggested, shrugging."Could be the case." Alex agreed with a bop of the head.We talked for a few more moments till it was time for them to leave. I walked them out, waving goodbye to Hazel."Goodbye. And I'll visit tomorrow." I had told her. She squealed in happiness. How did she get to like me so much?Once they left, I walked inside to meet my mom at the end of the stairs, her hands crossed and her speculative glance at me."Didn't know you had so many 'male' friends." She said, raising her brows at me."Come on, mom..." I said scoffing. " They're not my friends. Patrick is the one who saved me and Alex is the brother to the girl I babysit. It's not as if we're that close." Yeah, no need to tell her that I have a lifelong crush on that elder brother of Haze

    Sylvia's POV(Next day)After my mom confirmed it was all right for me to go back to school, I immediately hurried out. Even if I didn't like it that much, I'm glad to be away from the house for a couple of hours, not to mention the babysitting job I have this evening. Arriving at the school premises, I knew better than to expect warm welcome hugs and kisses. Why should I? I didn't have any friends. Not like I bother anyway, I headed up to my locker and began picking out my notes. On my way to my first class, I spotted Patrick in the hallway. Wanting to talk to him, I rushed towards him."Hey," I called out once I got to his side. He glanced at me and nodded."Hi." He muttered.Clearing my throat, I continued. " I wanted to thank you for visiting yesterday. No one has been kind enough to do that. ""You're welcome.""Plus, I wanted to ask. Did, by chance, Alex send you to me to offer me an apology on behalf of Tasha?"Patrick stopped walking and turned to me, surprise evident on his

Raising my hands, I was just about to call the teacher when I felt a jab on my back. Soothing the spot, I turned to tongue-lash the culprit but froze immediately. It was Alex."And what do you think you're doing?" He whispered fiercely."N-nothing. " I began but changed my mind. " Didn't you see Sylvia? " I asked instead."No. Why?""She's sneaking out. I want to tell the teachers so she can be caught.""And how is that your business? I thought I told you to stay away from her. " Alex countered."What? So you're just going to let her go?""What she does is none of your business. Let her get caught by herself, you don't have to be the one to break the news. Besides, how are you so sure she's the one?" He asked, frowning.I opened my mouth but snapped it shut. I don't want to get into another argument with Alex.

    Sylvia's P. O. V Three months later, Skyler gave birth to a baby girl who they named Piper. Since I was quite heavy at that time, I was unable to visit them but Patrick video called us to tell us about the experience. Even though he looked quite exhausted, his voice was rich in happiness. I chuckled remembering the things Skyler told us about Patrick while she was in labor. " He screamed more than me in the labor room. The doctor's started looking at us weird at one point!" I recalled, chuckling. " Well, what can I say? We're one weird couple." Patrick said in defense. Skyler chuckled, pulling his cheeks. " How many months left Sylvia?" Skyler asked after we were done laughing. " Three to four months? I'm not so sure. I'm ready whenever he's ready." " You nervous?" She asked and I breathed in, nodding slowly. " Don't worry, you'll be fine." She said and I smiled in gratitude. " Well... We have to go now. Skyler needs to rest, sh

    Skyler's P. O. V. After the proposal, Patrick and I got married. Sylvia and Alex attended and I was surprised by it since we didn't as attend theirs. Due to my condition, it wasn't a large party but it still managed to be wild. We also didn't travel for our honeymoon, we did it right there at new Jersey. Sylvia used the opportunity to tour New Jersey one more time before heading back to Oklahoma. All in all, it was a lovely experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. ...

Tyler was there too and it was quite and experience. " First things first, before we go into any serious conversation. May I ask why we're ordering fruit wine?" I asked, glancing at the two of them.

    (Three months later) Sylvia's P. O. V The past few months as a married couple have been amazing! Alex and I have established a routine that suits us. Him making breakfast in the morning while I make dinner and then, we do the dishes. It's been amazing so far and I've been really enjoying it. Laying in bed after some passionate moments together, My hands drawing invisible lines on his body while he pulls me closer to himself, I felt content. Feeling a bit bored, I stroke up a conversation. " Alex, How do you feel about having a baby?" I asked and I felt him stiffen. He cleared his throat, readjusting himself. " A child would be lovely but I don't think I want that now." He replied. I raised my face up, staring at him. " Why?" I asked softly. He heaved a sigh. " Well, I-i still have a ton of things I want to put in place before that comes up." " What if I pregnant?" " Are you pregnant?" He asked instead, his voice slightly alarmed.

    Skyler's P. O. V I stirred in my sleep, my eyelids fluttering. Moments later, I opened my eyes, staring at the room. This is Patrick's room, my subconscious muttered. Speaking of Patrick, I looked up and saw he was still sleeping. A smile crept up to my cheeks as I stared at him. He looked completely brazen, his hair completely tousled as a result of last night action. Remembering last night, I blushed, chuckling. Who knew that would happen? Snuggling deeper into his arms, I willed myself that enjoy the moment before he woke up. Almost as instantly, his hands wrapped around my waist, drawing me closer to himself. I laughed when I saw the grin on his face. He was already awake! I raised myself up, kissing him lightly on the lips. " Good morning..." I whispered against them. One eyelid fluttered open as he stared at me. " Good morning...". He groaned before deepening it. We pulled apart a we could catch our breaths. " How was your night?" He asked, ca

    Skyler's P. O. V " What?" I found myself saying. " Another baby. Let's make another one." He repeated. My eyes slowly widened, my cheeks heating up as I understood what he meant. But I was still confused. " Patrick, are you...?" " No I'm not. I'm perfectly sane, I just really wanted us to make another one." He repeated, his eyes boring into mine. I took a step backwards, slightly shocked. Is Patrick being serious right now? Does he really want to... Oh forget it! " If you want another baby, why are you still standing there?" I asked. It took only a second for him to process my words before his lips came crashing down on mine, his hands wrapped tightly around me. I almost fell due to the impact of the kiss but Patrick quickly steadied me. Hands wrapped around each other, body pressed tightly against each other, it was a frenzy. He lifted me up and I immediately wrapped my legs around his waist, all the whike not breaking the kiss. His hands pulled the ni

    Patrick's P. O. V I hurried out of the bar the moment Sylvia finished talking. Getting into my car, I started it up and began driving to Skyler's place. Arriving there moments later, I skipped all the way to the door, desperate to see her. One push at the door knob and I froze. It's locked. Skyler wasn't in. She's gone. Again. Groaning out loud, I ran a hand through my hair. Come on... This can be happening! How long as she be gone for? Where did she even go? I brought out my phone to call her but of course, it didn't go through. " Think, think, think Patrick..." I muttered, pacing around at the hallway. Is there anyone she must've told. " Okay... Her job as my financial advisor was temporary and Darren told me she was introduced by his financial advisor... Evelyn!" I gasped out, snapping my fingers. Scrolling through my contacts, I looked for and found her contacts. Pacing around at the hallway, I impatiently waited for Evelyn to pick up. " Hello..

    (Days later) Patrick's P. O. V These past few days have been hard. I sighed, thinking about the day Skyler and I argued. I tried talking to Skyler but she won't let me see her, won't answer my calls and also not reply my texts. It's confusing and frustrating. Eventually I just gave up on it. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. Picking up my phone, I got ready to go out. I need to get out of here. Sitting down and mopping around won't do any good.... Skyler's P. O. V Packing my things, I angrily dumped them in my boxes, muttering words to myself as I did it. " I can't keep a friendship, I can't keep a relationship... I can't even keep a baby! " I yelled the last bit out, slamming the box shut. Falling to the bed, I groaned out, trying to stop the tears from falling. These past few days have been freaking hard. Patrick called thousands of times, left texts but I was too scared to answer. I didn't know what to say to him. Eventually he just

    Patrick's P. O. V. We stayed a few more days at the hospital due to the doctor's suggestions. They needed to watch Skyler's health to see if it's recovering from the miscarriage and remove any left over blood tissue that didn't bleed out. Hours before Skyler was discharged, Sylvia called. " Hey...." She called out, her voice light and happy. I sucked in air. " Hi..." I muttered, breathing out. " How are you? How's Skyler?" " I'm fine, she's fine. We're both fine. " I said, a bit wary. " What about the baby?" She asked and I stiffened, my grip on the phone tightening. I wanted to lie but decided not to, it wouldn't make any sense. " You didn't answer that question." Sylvia said, her voice low and edged with concern. " Is everything okay?" " No. Something happened." I finally muttered, glancing at Skyler's ward. " What happened?" " Skyler had a miscarriage. She lost the baby. " " What!? " " Yeah. Two d

    (Three weeks later) Sylvia's P. O. V The wedding was a success. Just like Patrick had said, they didn't come to the wedding but Tyler and Olivia did. They even brought little Jeremy with them! For a young couple, they looked really happy. I was happy and also jealous of them. We said our vows in front of the church and exchanged rings. We even had a little party. It was fun but Alex kept it short. Then announced that we'll be going to Manchester for our honeymoon. " But... That's where you studied!?" I asked the moment he told me. " Yes. And it's why I want to take you there. It's really lovely there." " Okay... Can't wait. " I muttered, grinning. He smiled and kissed me on the cheeks. I blushed slightly. The very next day, we flew out of Oklahoma to Manchester. Settling in, he became my tour guide, showing me places he had visited while studying there. There were so many places to see! And had our first night as a married couple in a reso
