From Grace, To Skylan
It's already Saturday. The week is over. And I made a big, big mistake. I really need you this time. I need my best friend, Sky. I need you.

"Grace?"
My little sister peers inside the room from behind the door.
"Come in," I sniffle and wipe my tears.
She shuffles in and shuts the door behind her. The petite blonde four-year-old clambers onto my bed and sits beside me.
"You smell bad. How long have you been in here?" Her blue eyes scan my face.
"Only the whole day."
"I miss the old you. I don't like to see you cry," she frowns.
"I'll try my best to feel better," I sigh.
Of course it's hard for her to understand. She's so young. But I hate to make her sad. I'm the big sister. I'm supposed to be a role model. I'm supposed to be perfect.
A tear runs down my cheek, and I let out a strangled sob.
"I'm sorry. So, so, so sorry."
Cassey jumps onto my lap and wraps her small arms around my neck.
"Please don't cry. What's wrong?," she says into my ear.
"I made a big mistake, Cassey." Tears pour out of my eyes to wet little Cassey's shirt.
"What's your mistake? You can tell me."
Well, I think fell I in love with the boy who broke our hearts.
