... when is later, Christen Press?
- I'll take the very outside spot because I pee a lot. - Kameryn said so casually, which made me choke while taking a sip of water.
- Ok. So Kelley will be next to Kam cos they're... - Ali shrugged then continued, - well, obviously married.
I don't know why I found it hilarious in the way Ali talked. Like they're supposed to lie next to each other because they're married? So Ash and Pinoe were more than just married then, cos they had already chose their spot together, and still hugging each other like two otters refused to let one another go. Tbh, I don't even know when they walked each other there and actually laid down, or maybe they crawled to get there, but anyway who cares? Good for them for still knowing where to sleep.
- Who's gonna sleep next to Kelley? Who volunte...
Ali had not even finished her sentence, Crystal had already thrown Sydney down that spot.
- She volunteers. - Crys said, which made most of us lose our shit.
Like what the fuck just happened? Oh my God!
Seeing Crys breathed heavily after throwing her off, and knowing that she had to handle Sydney all by herself in the washroom made it even funnier.
- Ok, who's next to Syd then? - Ali asked with the least amount of the power of the house holder she got, because her face obviously said "fuck this entire night" after hearing her wife slapping her child's head because of an empty champagne bottle.
After as gently as possible placing HAO next to Syd, Julie exhaled slightly, then decided:
- They belong together.
Are they naturally funny or am I just easy to laugh? Because these bitches honestly had made my tummy twisted way so many times this whole day already.
- Naeher and I can sleep anywhere honestly. We don't mind. - Melvin sweetly said.
Yep. It's been years after they got married and Mellie still called Alyssa by her last name just like back when she was one-sidedly in love with Lyz. I know it's weird since she is also a Naeher, but Mellie loves it so much, and Alyssa would cringe whenever her wife calls her differently, so it will probably stay that way for the rest of their life. And also the way Mellie says "Naeher and I " this, "Naeher and I" that are real adorable.
- No, not really, I would like to sleep next to my wife, please. - Lyzzie said and I just wanted to slap her cheesy fucking face.
Was she stupid or was she super stupid just now?
- Honey, what I just said means WE, WE will sleep next to each other. - Mellie explained to her wife while chuckling.
- Oh, I see. I thought you meant us sleeping apart didn't matter to you. - her sad eyes appeared, as she thought Mellie really meant that way, made me regret calling her stupid earlier.
Damn these hoes are so in love, I'm offended.
- It's ok, honey. You can sleep with your wife. It's hard to accept but we'll try to tolerate. - Skylar tapped Lyz's shoulder understandingly in a teasing way.
- Fuck off, Sky. - Lyz jokingly kicked Skylar's butt, which made Sky fall forward and into Ali who happened to stand right in front of her.
Ali caught and hugged Sky into her with class and grace.
- Oh my God, I'm so sorry. - Alyssa immediately acknowledged what she just did and felt apologetic about it.
We didn't know what to do but laughed. You may be surprised that Alyssa literally just did something physical to Skylar because they're probably supposed to be not so close in your assumption, but trust me, this family is so fucking solid, everyone is bestfriend to one another, however Ashlyn and Megan, also Skylar and Christen, and Crystal and Julie are just little bit closer which we all could finally accept after having a very hard time dealing with the unbalance in our family.
- Remember the one million two hundred and seventy eight times you kicked a ball from our goal across 3/4 of the field? How dare you not know your own strength and kick my bestfriend like that? - Christen Press just said that.
Yep. Not trying to be a supportive hoe for my crush of 17 years, but how dared she not know her place? Like she was the mtfucking number 1 goalkeeper of the United States of America for a long fucking time.
- Lucky for you Pinoe is dead for now. - I kidded.
- Sorry. I'm going to just sleep in the corner and reflect on how wrong I am and be regretful and shameful for the rest of my life, so would you please forgive me, Sky, I mean Mrs. Rapinoe? - Lyzzie's extra ass said while blinking her pretentiously twinkling eyes.
Y'all have already known that Sky loves it when people call her Mrs. Rapinoe. Let's say Alyssa Naeher deserves forgiveness just for that.
- You're forgiven. - Sky smiled brightly, brushing her hand side to side to show her ease-going and ALSO forgiveness.
Such a shameless angel.
- Ok settle down y'all. So I guess Jules and I are taking these two spots next to HAO. - Crystal said.
- Alright. Then I'll be next to you guys cos Ash's already here anyway. - Ali volunteered.
- Kay. I'll be next to them. - pointing at Ash and Pi hugging each other, Sky said.
- Cos my wife's already there anyway. - Sky copied Ali's tone which earned a sharp side-eye from Al.
- And also, of course Christen will be next to me cos ya know, - she shrugged adorably then continued, - we besties biatch!! - jumped on Chris right after she said that, which Chris got her entirely in her arms because she's just that small as a person.
Chris laughed out loud because of the suddenness from Sky, then leaned down to press a kiss on Sky's head. They're adorable.
I was just all smiling looking at them, because Skylar finally has her bestfriend back and everything between them will be the same again.
- Hey. - I got a tiny nudge from Lyz.
- What? - I asked, looking at her.
- Uhm... maybe stop shooting heart eyes cos you're gonna get caught.
I totally panicked after realizing I was looking at her this entire time, however faked the coolness and acted like I didn't understand a shit she said.
- What do you mean hearts and eyes? Ptsss, please. I don't even know what you're talkin about.
I'm so glad that it was Alyssa who caught me and not Christen Press.
- I've seen it one hundred and forty eight times up until now. - she teased me partially, but also didn't lie about that.
But what a fucking creep? She even counted?
She all of a sudden leaned in and talked small in my ear:
- Don't you even think I've missed out how many times you gave it away while I was picking up peach juice for Melvin.
I looked at this weirdo with disgust in my eyes, or on my whole face generally.
- Kelley counted for me before I got her the beers she wanted. - she winked and it made me wanna bury her to contain my secret.
- You fucking weirdo. - I kicked right in her calf which didn't hurt her at all so it made me even madder.
And I swear to God, I'd kick Kelley's ass once she's sober because of betraying me for materialistic (beers).
- What do you want? - I whispered a little aggressively.
She frowned and smiled while looking at me with extreme warmth in her eyes:
- I guess... - she shrugged, - for my wife to be happy because she's been shipping you guys so hard since the first day.
Oh, shut up, Alyssa Naeher. Just say you want me to be happy, it's ok to feel disgusting about ourselves sometimes.
Now, she made me feel bad about that kick and also internally cussing at her this entire time.
- Go. - I slightly pushed her towards her wife, Melvin, while chuckling.
- I will. - she chuckled.
- Then, can we take the very end spots though? I like my back against the wall. - Melvin smiled shyly as she requested, since she just said Alyssa and she could just sleep anywhere earlier.
- Wait a minute, Mellie. You like your back against the wall? - Crystal started to tease people again.
Lucky for Mel that Pinoe and Ash were out at that moment, otherwise the three of them at the same time would seriously make people cry.
- I didn't mean it that way. No. - Poor Mel shook her head decisively while her cheeks were reddening as everyone was having a good laugh about it.
- Guess who still has a hold load of time while having twins, huh? - Ali supported the joke as she was raising her brows so evilly.
I swear to God, if you see Ali's face at that moment, you just desire to punch her. She looked devious as fuck.
- Babe, you should also tell them how good the kitchen counter is. - Alyssa snaked her hand around Mellie's shoulders for her to bury her shy and red burning face into her chest.
- Oh, and also the sofa, the driver seat, the shower. - Lyz continued with her unnecessarily confident tone.
We all crackled at how Alyssa helped her wife got back at us. You know when you hear Alyssa being so comfortable joking about sexual stuff, you have to be convinced that Melvin Birmingham did a hell of an excellent job with helping Alyssa Naeher to change into a more open and fun person, and also a better entertaining friend.
- You guys win, so take 'em, they're yours. - Ali laughed while easily rubbing Mel's head while she's hiding in Lyzzie's chest, since she's also a very small person.
After everyone got to their allocated spot and started to get settled for the night, my ass just now remembered that I didn't say anything, or at least throwing a small request regarding to my spot, and that to them, means I voluntarily agreed with being able to just sleep anywhere that's convenient for all of them, which I usually am, but in this case I was not, because imagine me accidentally being arranged to sleep next to Christen Press. This could not be happening because I definitely would die in my sleep even.
I mentally slapped myself for too busy spending time laughing about people's expenses and accidentally pushed myself into a position that I would never be able to run away from.
I looked at the only empty spot next to Christen Press and gulped.
Was it too disrespectful if I excused myself and headed out right now? Cos I wanna go home, I couldn't survive throughout this night for sure.
- Tobin. - someone called my name.
I looked down to see Chirs looking up at me with her beautiful fucking gorgeous fucking flawless fucking the-brightest-sun-shines-into-my-life face.
- H-Huh? - I stupidly responded.
Fuck. I stuttered, didn't i?!
Shit! Shit! Shit! I HAVE TO STAY CALM!! HOLD THE FUCK ON!
OK, OK, I got this.
- Tobin, what are you doing? Lie down. - she honestly just tapped on the spot next to her.
I sneakily glanced from Kamie to Mellie to sent emergency help, and not a soul looked back at me.
It's a fucking RED CODE and those motherfuckers really pretended that they're blind or pretended to be asleep.
Like come on, guys! You guys didn't sleep one second earlier!
- Ok. - I smiled rigidly and stepped slowly towards my spot.
These motherfuckers did this on purpose, I swear to God. I would kill every fucking single one of them if I was still alive the next morning.
My back, the roots of my hair, my armpits, space between my boobs and butt cheeks, my palms, my soles, every single part of my body started to sweat, and this was honestly the slowest walk of my entire life.
OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING! NO ONE IS GOING TO RESCUE ME FROM THIS?!
Lord have mercy, here you fucking go, I was actually lying down, next to Christen Annemarrie Press. Jesus Christ, you could just take me with you, I didn't wanna live anymore. This was torture, you hear me?! THIS WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE! THIS WAS TORTUROUS! Whoever was letting this to happen without stopping it should be burned in hell!!!
- Good night, Tobin.
I only heard her voice and didn't see her face while she's saying that, because I didn't have the courage to look at her since I'd already used all of it to try to maintain every single second that I was still given to live on Earth.
- Night, Chris. - I whispered and turned my back on her immediately, because I couldn't deal with the idea of her having her eyes on me this entire time.
I got burned just by her stares, you have no idea.
I closed my eyes and told myself to never think about sleeping tonight because I could never.
I don't know how long I had been faking my sleeping but I started to loose a sense of time, and also a sense of just anything else in general honestly, since my body was so numb because I was so nervous and didn't allow my body to move for comfort purpose for a long time.
- Is she sleeping? Do you think she's sleeping? - it's Chris's voice.
As soon as I heard her voice, I immediately dropped the thought of trying to slightly shift my body a little to feel more comfortable. Yes, I was afraid of getting caught. Therefore, I continued to bite on my lower lip and suffer the discomfort of the position I was in at that moment.
- I don't think anyone's still up except us. - Sky slightly chuckled.
- OK good, I can finally breathe now. - She sounded so relieved by exhaling strongly, which pained me.
- You were so calm throughout the day, you seriously deserve an Oscar for this performance. I mean Jesus Christ, I would have broken down on the ground if I ever had seen Megan again after five years. And I'm only talking about us unfortunately having to do long distant relationship, so imagine what would have happened if I didn't even have her and our relationship didn't even have a freakin name.
Wait. What does this mean?
So she wasn't actually calm, but she was pretending to be this whole time? She was fucking ACTING?!
Fuck!
I horribly hate my stupid self for not realizing this any sooner.
Chris, I'm fucking sorry. You shouldn't have had to do that to your amazing self. I'm sorry that after years, I'm still the one that makes you suffer.
Christen, I don't deserve you.
- Really? - Chris's voice showed that she was glad about it. This is so fucking toxic.
I mean we don't even share a relationship and I'd already sickened her.
- Really. - I could imagine Sky was smiling to encourage her bestfriend and to help her feel good about herself.
- Was there a moment that I almost blew it? Because I thought I did a few times. - she was nervous about Skylar's upcoming reply, and it killed me.
- Meg caught you off guard a few times and told me to draw everyone's attention from you as much as possible during those moments, so if Meg and I just pretend to be blind and ignore it, then you've generally done a good freakin job, honey.
In moments like this that I'm thankful for Megan Rapinoe the most. Her thoughtfulness can honestly keep the world in peace for centuries.
- Thank you, Sky.
Her voice sounded like she was tearing up and I just can't whenever I feel her tears so please don't do that to me, cos if I sniffled now, I would get caught and I DON'T FUCKING WANT THAT TO HAPPEN!
- Don't thank me, thank my extremely thoughtful wife. - Sky was certainly smiling as she was saying that cos she always smiled whenever she talked about Pinoe.
- I thank both of you actually. - Chris responded.
- Forget it. - Sky humbly said.
- And... sorry for cutting all the contacts all of a sudden for five years. I'm so sorry. I know I'm so wrong and I don't deserve forgiveness from you but I live in regret every single day for doing that to all of you. I just...
- And why do you have to live in regret when you obviously could turn it around so easily? - Sky asked.
- ... - it's a complete silence from Christen and I had no idea what was happening over there between them. I just prayed to all the Gods up there that it wouldn't get tensed up, because this friendship just can't be ruined.
- Chris, it's because you couldn't do it otherwise. - Sky answered her own question softly.
What Skylar said enlightened me at some point, but I still couldn't figure out what it actually was just yet.
- Sky.
The second she gently called her bestfriend's name, my silent tears instantly streamed down on my face. I had to put one hand over my mouth because I was scared of making noises.
- Because you desperately wanted to start a new life and wanted to just focus on whatever that came next that you forced yourself to not think about Tobin anymore, so you had no other choice but cutting all of us out of your life because we were the only group of people that reminded you of Tobin and made you miss her the most.
- Sky, you... you get it?
- Of course, silly. Who am I? I'm your bestest friend in this whole wide world, remember?
Sky literally is the sweetest fucking soul. I'm so thankful that Chris had her in her life no matter what.
- You're not mad at me, aren't you? - Chris asked apologetically.
- I'm not a fucking Saint, but I can't help myself but love you. You know I would have killed you the second you entered Ali's door but I just can't stand the thought of losing you once again.
- I'm sorry, Skylar. - Chris had nothing but thousands of apologies to send out.
- You shouldn't say sorry anymore. That's enough. Stuck to what you believe that's good for your soul and for five years, you did it so... - she stopped to find the right word and continued, - I'm not gonna say "effortlessly" because I know it's the hardest thing you've ever done and it took you lives and deaths in between to be able to do it so... bravely. Therefore; give yourself all the credits cos you deserve it.
The most important thing Sky has ever learnt from Pinoe is to empower people that they undoubtedly deserve what they have and it's wonderful to see them in sync as good people.
- Now you're single. You should take another shot. Tobin has been nothing but faithful towards you. She has never dated a soul, I swear to God.
I secretly swiped my tears and tried to compress my smile as Sky said that because I would make a stupid sound such as snorting.
- But she's already made it clear earlier that it was the past and people moved on.
Christen, really? Really? You really bought that shit?! I was fucking lying to not embarrass myself, and also to not put you into an uneasy position.
- If you call that "clear", then you're stupid. If you buy whatever the lie she pulled out so badly then you're profoundly stupid.
Well, "stupid" is too harsh and "profoundly stupid" is just extra harsh, but yes gurl! Yes Sky! fucking tell her!
- Ok. Let's say that she lied, which doesn't even matter anymore at this point.
I felt myself be dying again after she said that.
How could it not matter? How could my love not be mattered to her when I was this idiot that had loved her for more than seventeen years?
- Why does it not matter? Tell me. - Sky was pissed for me, but she shouldn't be because Chris must have her own reason for that.
- Heather needs her father. I can't separate them.
What she just said made me deep in my own thoughts right after. She's right. Now that Heather is a part of her life as well, every decision she makes has to be fair for the little girl also.
- What do you mean? How does this have anything to do with Heather?
Sky didn't get it when Chris said that, but I immediately did. I don't know why and I never even had children of my own but I did. Maybe because I've become an auntie of so many little angels for years, I could easily get it.
- If I live with Tobin, I will have to stay here in the US, and Heather has to be close to me. You know I can't live without my daughter. She and I are one, we can't be apart. But at the same time, Ben deserves to share custody of his daughter as well.
- Wow, that's just... You know whya? Meg and I haven't thought it through. - now, Sky got it.
- I don't blame you since everyone has different perspectives on things. Honestly, divorce isn't that hard for me because I've never actually loved him in a romantic way, but divorce after having a child extremely is difficult. I'm like a fish on a chopping board waiting for death to come and it's just not my life anymore, Skylar. I have a child to be selfless for.
There must be another way. I will solve this. I can't bear the thought of letting her go once again. No matter what it takes, I will be that selfish asshole that everyone puts their blames on and will find a way to be with her. I'm so fucking tired of this shit. I don't have time playing a homo version of "Love, Rosie" here in my life and make both of us fucking wait 50 years or so to finally be together. Like fuck that shit. Imma do it now. I'm going to get the love of my life now!!
But how?
Fuck, how I wish we would have a book of ways to do things because I'm fucking stuck and I honestly can't find a way to get myself and the woman of my dream out of this stupid mess.
Sky's voice pulled me out of my own world:
- I can relate. You know Kai spends his time at Krieg's house a lot, and I let him, because I know our houses are only 15 minutes apart and he has Hermie to play with. But Paris and LA really is just... too much.
- ... - Chris said nothing in response, which almost made my heart jump out of my chest as I waited for her to reply.
This woman always makes me nervous in every step she takes and I hate it, but also am in love with it. I just don't understand myself anymore.
- But are you going to live like this? Having someone in your heart will freakin kill you, you fool.
- Later. - the word came out so effortlessly, however, it gave me a feeling that there was an invisible force that tried to pull it back but wasn't strong enough to do so.
- When is later, Christen Press? - Sky slightly exhaled.
She was tired.
I knew everyone was tired when it came to our story, but we're so lucky that they never gave up on us, or abandoned us. Especially, Pinoe, Skylar, Ali, and Alyssa.
- When she's grown enough, when she doesn't need me by her side anymore, then I'll consider to look into my own happiness.
- I should have choked you right at the airport that day when you left for Paris. How regretful I am not doing that then.
Sky chuckled at what Skylar said, which made my heart happy. At least she could find humor in difficulty as an adult. Good for her.
- Skylar, I'm very envious of you, you lucky bastard.
I wondered was Skylar the "lucky bastard" because Megan wasn't a coward when it comes to love; or it only took them a week to officially move in together since Megan was head-over-heels obsessed with Sky at first sight, and also only took Megan four months to propose, they got married in less than a year as well; or was because of Sky not needing to wait too long to build a family with Megan, to have a good and happy marriage with the true love of her life?
It was me, wasn't it? I was the bastard that made her envious of her bestfriend and made her think of herself as being unlucky. It was all because of me.
- Wait until you know just how desperate and hurtful Tobin Powell Heath literally survived all these years just to wait for meeting you again.
I felt funny when people who knew about the hardship that I went through after she left, which they actually felt extremely bad for me and didn't even try to hide it, and also described it as something that no way on Earth a human could bear. Yes, it was hard, but I wasn't the most miserable person in the world. It would be ignorant to think that the world was owing you something just because yourself was a stupid ass bitch in the first place, and your idiotic self let the love of your life slip away first. People are dying everyday so I was not complaining at all, I was just grieving and in agony for an unexpectedly long time.
Again, she said nothing back, which made me feel like being dropped from the 52nd floor, as my subconsciousness assumed that I wasn't as important to her as what I expected myself to be.
- I love you so much, Pressi. You have no freakin idea, sister.
It's just Sky. She always says this whenever she feels this strong empathy towards the person in front of her ascending from her gut up her throat. She's a very very sweet human being, that's why she's my sister-in-law.
- Don't make me cry. I don't want to look swollen like a pork head in front of my child in the morning. - she said which I found it funny.
- And Tobin Heath?
Of course Sky was not gonna miss a chance of pulling me into their conversation.
- Shut up. - Chris clapped back, which tickled Sky's giggling bone.
- But are you sure you're going to give up on Tobin so easily? She is an idiot for you, even the people without a gaydar can sense it.
Sky, stop it. I'll figure it out ok? What if your consistency made her numb and not want to talk about it ever again?!
- Sky, you and Pinoe just don't understand and it shows, ya know?
- W-what did you say again, little bitch? - Sky was about to throw hands over there which showed in her voice.
It felt right that Skylar got offended because people always thought I was the most miserable person of all after Christen left, but I wasn't. Sky was. And then Pinoe. And then me standing in the third place.
The bestfriend will always have it worst, you just have to deal with it. The brutal fact that she was being gone and not keeping in touch with anyone except from her family drove Sky tremendously insane. There hadn't been a day since she disappeared from our lives that Sky didn't bawl her eyes out every time people mentioned Christen's name or something related to her, whereas, at one point I had overcome that stage and had completely stopped. She took it the worst in us all, which made Pinoe the second most miserable person in the whole wide world since Chris was gone. If you don't know how much Pinoe loves Sky, then the answer is too much. Too much to handle, too much for other people who aren't them to understand, and too much to be put into words; therefore, the impact that everything Skylar does can have on Megan is also indescribable. Sky crying made her cry. Sky being in pain as she thought she lost Chris forever made Pinoe in triple pain. And then there was me, I was the third most miserable person in us all.
- I- I mean God has built so many layers between us and she must have a reason for it, Skylar. Who am I to be disobedient against her?
I mean she had a point. God is a woman and every woman must have a reason for everything she does. However, I was at this point in my life where I couldn't wait for how God's plan would be turned out anymore, I was running out of time and I couldn't care less about whatever layers that she tryna build between us, cos I was going to break it down, step on it and cross over it, one by one.
- Sister, you speak like that because you don't know what Tobin had to go through to be a human again after you left the country and cut all the social contacts.
Ok, Skylar. That's a whole ass leap. Please stop. We're not living for this shit to be retold, especially to Christen Press.
- What are you talking about? - Chris was worried.
Here we go.
- Nothing. - Sky immediately acknowledged what she accidentally said and stopped herself on time.
Thank you, Sky. Thank you.
- Skylar, please. What happened to her? - she was so anxious and curious about what Sky was almost going to tell her.
- Meg will bury me alive with our marriage certificate if I tell you. - Sky said, which was too much, but it could be true, I mean it's Megan Rapinoe we're talking about so who knows?
- Then tell me quickly before you die. - Sky pushed.
- She will divorce me even, so don't be so cruel.
Nah, it would never be true, because I know it for one fact that the day they're getting a divorce would also be the end of Pinoe's life.
- Sky, you're a strong, independent woman, you can survive without her, trust me. Now, tell me.
So I am pretty important to her all of a sudden, huh?
She should have lived that life she wanted without me, she should have held on there and never let that man go, she should have never come back here at the first place. Why was she doing that to herself? All of a sudden she wanted to introduce Heather to the place she was born? What idiot was gonna believe that? Why was she coming back so I could see her after five centuries of not being able to know whether she was still alive out there, then told me that we could never be together, that there would never be a chance for me in a million years, that I should find myself someone else and build a family with? Like what the fuck? Why should I do that? Why should I listen to someone who threw her life away just because of a piece of shit like myself? For the kind of person that didn't need happines anymore just because of someone like me, she didn't deserve to fucking tell me what I should do, because she was nothing better than I was.
- I can't. - Sky refused to explain things any farther.
- Skylar, please. I'm begging you. - Chris's voice started to get heavy as she was about to choke up.
- Pressi, stop asking me. Megan Rapinoe will divorce my ass if I tell you this, I swear to God. I love being her wife too much, please don't do this to me. I really can't.
Chris kept silence for a whole minute which scared the shit out of me, my heart almost stopped beating and my lungs almost stopped respirating because of that, however her voice was more relaxing after that as she apologized:
- I'm sorry. I was being too impulsive.
- It's fine. You being sensitive over Tobin's matters is a good sign. It was my fault after all, because I gave you the idea of it in the first place.
- But hey.
- Uh.
- Remember earlier when you said ain't no one got time for drunk talking?
- Yeh. Why?
- Did you forget how Tobin got drunk off of her face and came to your house in that condition? And you were still so patient and all towards her, did you forget, Pressi? -
Sky teased.
I don't know about Chris but my cheeks blushed so hard as the flashback hit the back of my head. That was so crazy and embarrassing. My God, why did I even consider Pinoe's suggestions of how to release myself in the first place?
- You gotta be kidding me. Don't bring stuff in the past up so randomly like this.
Right. It's a fucking pain in the ass. Just let it go.
- What? You can't take it? - Sky teased her again but I felt like I was the one that was affected the most here.
- Not that I can't take it, but...
- But what? - Sky playfully cut her off.
- Ok, I can't. - she admitted and I almost choked.
- Little shit. - Skylar didn't need to slap her head that hard, Jesus. Even I could feel the pain.
- Ouch. - Chris whined.
- I can't believe that you could survive after all those years not knowing anything from her. I would die if that happened to me and Megan.
I smirked at what Sky just said.
People are breathing and talking to you right now doesn't mean they're living. The death is invisible and only the experiencer knows it.
- You'd get a hang of it as time goes. It's the matter of time, Skylar.
I was dead inside but being physically alive was still a surprising miracle.
- Do you love Tobin Heath, Pressi? - Skylar soft whispered in the dark.
- We're not children anymore, Skylar. Love isn't everything.
It depends, because for me she's still everything.
- Love is everything, Christen Press. Your love for Heather is love. Your love for Tobin is also love. And you're choosing your love for Heather over Tobin, so yes, love is also your everything. You'll just have to figure out how to love two people at the same time.
