Tasha's POVOverwhelmed with surprise, I made to tell on her. Why? Cause it sounded like the perfect thing to do because I'm looking for every possible way to her back at her. 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 POVI stared at Tasha, fighting for words. All in all, I was confused. How did she get to find out?"I was in the school of course. Where else would I be?" I said, even though it didn't ring true.Tasha clicked her tongue, rolling her eyes. " You think I believe you? For all I know, you're just another little liar! " She pointed out, scowling. I gulped nervously."I-I was in school... I-I swear." I stuttered, desperately looking for a way to convince her. If she tells on me, I'll be doomed.Tasha smiled. It was a sly one, the one that says she had me right where she wanted me and there was no escaping it."Let's see how you convince the principal and the entire board of how you were in school when you were not..." she muttered to my ear and just as she was about to leave, she got yanked back."What the hell...!?" she yelped out in pain. I looked up at the person who owned the hands and heaved a quick sigh of relief. It was no other than Alex."Hey! What are you doing?" She as
Sylvia's POVI heard noises coming down below and stopped what I was doing? Why are they yelling?"What going on down there?" I asked, looking at Hazel. Her smile dropped, and she looked really sad. "It's Alex..." she muttered, her voice barely audible." He's probably arguing with daddy again." Confused, I probed further." Is he... Is he always like this?""No. But sometimes it just gets to him. I don't know why." She said, sighing sadly. I patted her on the back and gave her a reassuring smile. "It'll be alright. Let's finish what we were doing." I said to her."Okay..." she muttered. Everywhere had quietened down, I noticed.***I excused myself after a while to go look for Alex. Using the maid's directions, I finally figured out where he was. He was standing on the balcony, his gaze out into the night sky. Probably still fuming. I carefully made my way beside him, making sure not to make any noise. Eventually, I just stood there not saying anything, but he knew I was there."Hey
Sylvia's POV(Next day, at school)I had just finished taking everything that I'll need and was heading towards my class when I spotted Alex. I smiled and waved at him, but he stopped me, motioning for me to come closer."Good morning..." I greeted as I walked closer. He smiled that perfect smile of his, making my heart skip a beat."Good morning yourself. How are you?""Great. You seem to be in a good mood this morning.""I am in a good mood. " He replied, placing a hand on his chest. I giggled, brushing my bangs off my face."So... How'd did it go... The apologizing stuff?" I asked."Good. Even better than I expected." He said, then his face clouded with worry. " Although... Nevermind." He replied, shaking it off. " That's not why I called you though.""It isn't?""No. My parents will be hosting a private party at a resort this weekend. Edward told me about it this morning and since Hazel heard, she wanted me to invite you."I was taken aback. Did I just hear that I got invited to a
Sylvia's POVStaring at my reflection in the mirror, I sighed softly, brushing out my hair. The day has arrived and according to Alex, I'm supposed to be picked up by his parents as he'll be arriving differently.I heard a knock on my door and my mom peeked in. "Hey, honey. Can I come in?"I smiled." Sure."She walked up to me, laying a hand on my shoulders."You've been changing a lot recently." She began."Really? I didn't notice.""Sure you didn't. But I did.' Taking in a deep breath, she continued. " You've been talking a lot more, smiling a lot more, and going out a lot more.""Is it a bad thing? " I asked, beginning to get a little apprehensive."No... Of course not. I just didn't know... This day will ever come. You coming out of your shell. ""Well, it has. " I said, and we giggled."I'm glad. " She said, straightening up she added. " So I won't be the one delaying you, you can go on now." I watched her leave the room. I put my hairbrush down and applied some gloss on my lips
Patrick's POVGlancing around, I noticed Sylvia was taking too long to return. Are the towels that hard to find? I made a sneak peek at Hazel and went to look for her. Walking to the pool area, I spotted Tasha hurriedly leaving it. Huh? What's she doing there? I shrugged it off and made to call on Sylvia but got distracted when I saw someone drowning in the pool.My heart thumped once when I realized who it was. Okay, you've got to be kidding me. Hurrying towards the pool, I jumped in and dragged her out, placing her on the raised pavement. She sputtered but didn't open her eyes. How long has she been in the pool?"Sylvia... Are you there?" I called out, gently shaking her. No response."Come on..." I groaned out, terrified.She must've taken in a lot of water, I reasoned frantically. There's only one way to do this then. Taking in a deep breath, I placed my hands on her chest, pressing it gently, then breathed into her mouth with mine.She gasped and began coughing, throwing out wate
Sylvia's POVThe party was over and it was time to leave. I held Hazel's hand as we walked back to the car, Alex beside me."Thanks for coming. I hope you enjoyed today." He began."I did. What about you?""I'm not sure I'll be able to give a positive answer on that one." He said, his eyes mirroring the sadness he felt."Tasha right?" I muttered, and he nodded."I have to go now. See you later." He said and bade us goodbye.I looked down at Hazel and she smiled up at me."Come on, let's go home," I said, taking her into the car.***Hazel's parents drove me home. I thanked them and strolled into the house where my mom was already waiting for me."Good evening mom." I greeted her, giving her a quick hug."Good evening, dear. How was your party?""Fine. I had fun." "I made dinner. Would you like to have some before you sleep?""Uh... No. I already ate before I came in. I'll just shower and go to bed early.""Okay." I nodded and started up the stairs, but she called me back."Sylvia? If
Alex's P.O. VDad!? How did he....?"Son?" He asked, almost pleadingly. I panicked and cut the call, not knowing what to say. Running my hands through my hair, I took in deep breaths, feeling all the color drain from my face. Just then, my mom walked in."Alex... Are you... Alright?" She asked as she saw my face. " You look like you've seen a ghost. Is everything alright?""Yeah... I'm fine. " I muttered as I walked past her."Alex, wait!..." she called, but I ignored her, heading towards my room.***I couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried. The memories kept pouring in and it felt like I was on the brink of an explosion. Laying to my side, I sighed.That voice... His voice... Why did it sound so broken? That's now how I remember it. At first, it was filled with life, then a lot of hate, but now it's just... Broken.I swallowed the lump growing in my throat. Why do I want to see him so badly now?***Monday morningSylvia's POV I arrived at school feeling completely forlorn. Th
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. ... (A few months later) Alex's P. O. V Skyler is seven months gone now and Patrick had suggested we meet up so we could spend some time together before the baby comes and he begins to take his role as a dad seriously. 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. Tyler was the first to speak up." I'm not sur
(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
