SKY POVIt was hurting.The mere thought that I had lost the battle even before I could fight was so gruesome that I had a hard time believing it. Of course, I knew that the ol’ little Skylar was never a match to her undemandingly unflawed sister, but I had a hope, a little glimmer of hope that danced inside of me, like a candle in the dark illuminating my very dark world; that maybe, just maybe Kayden will put even an ounce of effort and fight for what we had. Whatever it is we had.I guess I may have overestimated myself and my feelings for him, thought and believed upon myself that he will stand by me as I did him, and not be swayed by the dire temptation that made him lose focus. But the idea of everything that we had, those little moments where he held me close to his body and looked at me like I was the only thing in this world, in his world, they were hard and made all of this sixty-four dollar distressingly unbearable. From a very prime age, I never thought I would have a sho
KAYDEN POV“Where are you going?”I asked as soon as my eyes landed on Kennedy who was searching his pockets for something, all dressed up well and clearly evident that he was off to somewhere. He raised his head to look at me, but then broke the gaze before continuing his search.“On a date with my boyfriend.” He didn’t let out much, so all I could do was nod at him.“How has he been?” I asked walking further into his room. Something about the way he was closed off was unnerving and rather shady, almost as if he was hiding something from me. And speaking of which, all of the guys, Jord, Dwight, Brandon; they were all off. I mean we were all friends and each one of us had our own lives which I couldn't bring myself to interfere, but the way they were distant made me wonder what the hell was going on. Whenever I called them to talk about something, it was either they couldn't talk at the moment because they were busy, or made excuses like bad network reception and shit. It was so out
SKY POVFrom the single couch where I was perched surrounded by people who have been the legit anchor in all of this wax and wane, I watched as Kayden bypassed Luna who was still seething in front of him, then dropped down onto the couch, his head facing down and his body shaking terribly.With teary eyes, I looked up at the other guys and nodded, silently begging them to give us some time. He was here now, I needed to get done with it and not withhold anything any longer. I was tired of carrying this partial secret and not sharing it with the one I needed to share it the most. It was eating me from the inside every single second of my days and I was strong enough to continue carrying it.“You sure? We can stay.” Oli jumped from the other side of the room and came to perch herself on the armrest of the couch I was sitting on, causing her to protrude upwards. I smiled and sniffled along, then gave her a quick nod before holding her hand that was on my shoulder.“I will be okay,” I conf
KAYDEN POVAlmost before the elevator doors could slide close, an ear-shattering scream came from out of the apartment I was in just a minute ago, and reflexively, I took off like a madman back to it. Panic tore through me as I threw myself at the door which was shut close, not even budging to let me inside.Savagely, I began banging my fists against the door so hard, trying to get the attention of those inside just to let me in. The screams inside had quieted down to jumbled mumblings and I felt myself growing antsy even more. I may not know what the hell was going on in there, but I felt it with everything inside of me that something was not right.“OPEN THE DOOR,” I roared making sure to apply pressure to my banging, and finally, the door was whisked open to reveal Dwight. My blood ran cold when I spotted an unconscious Sky in his arms as he carried her out,“Give her to me.” I didn’t wait for him as I leaned forward and started to pry Sky off his arms. But he tightened his hold be
SKY POVI didn’t wait until I was fully awake before I jumped out of the bed and started panicking. My eyes were still blurry, my head weighing like a fuckin’ mountain on my shoulders with my ears ringing with different church bells that were tolling over and over again, but all I could think was one thing only.“Hey, hey. Calm down, baby.” “My baby. What happened to her? I was sitting down and fainted and, and, and…” my mind couldn’t even make out a single word I was saying, but with the little functioning part of my brain, I was gratified for having let out a few words that were rather coherent.“Hey. Come here.” THAT voice once again called out before a strong pair of arms circled around me. I was engulfed by an intoxicating scent of sandalwood and rainforest, and just like that, my mind clicked into place. I was with Kayden.“Kayden where is my baby…” a sob wrenched itself out of me, and he quickly kissed the top of my head before shushing me down.“She is fine baby, she is okay.
SKY POV“WHAT?” I must have heard it all wrong.“I havebeen looking for you for a whole week, trying to find you so that I could tell you about all of it. I couldn't, because everyone was hiding you from me." Pain flashed across his perfect face, and my already messed up mind wanted nothing but to cry for him at that moment."All of a sudden, I was this kind of danger to my wife, not even allowed to be in the same room with her. Everybody took it upon themselves to keep me in the dark about you. I looked for you Sky, everywhere. I literally turned the whole place upside down, but I couldn't fight. It hurt." He stood up from the floor before plopping himself on my side of the bed, then pulled me in a tight hug. My body instantly leaned into his hold before relaxing so hard I felt ants racing down in my blood stream. Thank God for the VIP ward, they are bloody comfy and cozy as well."I am sorry." I whispered laying my head on his chest, the rapid sound of his heart lulling each and eve
KAYDEN POV“Are you ready?”I gave Sky a soft nudge and glared lovingly at her very nervous face, prompting her black eyes to fall on me. My face split into a warm smile, and before I knew it, my body leaned down to hers until I placed a soft kiss on her forehead, then massaged the soft, velvety skin of her hand inside mine.“It is not as bad as you think.” The doctor assured for the umpteenth time, wrenching a rapid nod from her. Although we had gone through the procedure a dozen times, Sky wasn’t ready for all of this, she was so nervous to a point I felt like she was going to bolt; jump in the sky and just scream I AM NOT READY. And if that happened, I knew it that I would hold her hand, pull her to me and kiss her face. She took a puff of breath before pinching her eyes closed. With widened eyes, I watched as the doctor took some gel kind of thing, and squitted the clear liquid onto the exposed abdomen causing her hips to jerk upwards.“Motherfu….” she stopped herself from spewin
SKY POV*TWO WEEKS LATER*“I STILL DON’T LIKE YOU!!!” Diego exclaimed before slamming the door right on Kayden’s back, wrenching a burst of laughter from out of me. He returned from the door with a sly grin on his face before plopping himself right next to me where I was nuzzled cozily with blankets and shit.“Cut him some slack, will ya?” I threw a small cushion that was stuffed behind me to support my back, at him, and he expertly caught it before leaning back into the chair. “I don’t think I am ready to tell him that I have forgiven him.” He confessed causing my lips to drop in a lope-sided smirk.“So you are just going to keep him on his toes and have him guessing?” “That’s kind of a point yeah.” He huffed before staring blankly into the space.“He is the father of my god-kids, and yes he is really trying to make up for all the shit, and honestly, I am moved.” He clutched his chest and then let out a loud huff, facing me. I couldn’t help but snort out a very unbecoming sound.“
