The estranged family

Chapter 27-Hanging with Anthony

I was scared to hang out with someone. I haven't had a friend in years and it was kind of new. I missed max, he was my best friend, my skate buddy.

I wonder where he is right now.

I didn't have anyone to ask how to be friends or anything. It is embarrassing to ask someone 'hey, how do I become friends with someone'

I got this, I had friends before and this would be the same thing.

I went downstairs to eat some dinner, and again I was eating alone. It feels like I am home alone a lot of the time.

Maybe I can call Athena and Angelo and see if they can come over. Atticus and I aren't that close

I grabbed my phone and called Angelo

"Hello" he said on the other line

I heard laughter in the background

"Angelo, do you want to come over and hang out?" I asked with hope he would be able to

"Sorry skylar, I am in the middle of family game night. Maybe another night?" He asked

I was disappointed but I have been disappointed a lot in my life, but I really wish they could have hung out

"Okay, yeah another time" I said with putting on a fake smile and a fake voice. A voice that sounds more real than my normal one.

"Ok, I will talk to you later, bye" He said. the laughter got louder and he ended the call

I wish this house was filled with laughter, it's always so silent. Nothing to do here

I used to have family game nights with my mom and lucas. They were very fun and I am so competitive but it was the best to do as a family.

A family that was broken

Maybe Tyler and I could have a family game night. He is good at super smash, but he probably wouldn't want to play with me. But at the same time there is no harm in asking

I went over to his office knocking on the door

"Come in" he said

I opened the door and walked in

"Yes Skylar" he said looking down at papers writing something

"Do you want to play some super smash or a card game with me?" I asked, praying he would say yes

"Skylar I'm busy right now, can't you see" he said

"Oh, sorry" I said turning around and walking out of the office, closing the door.

Maybe I shouldn't have asked, better than getting my feelings hurt. I just wanted to spend time with Tyler and not be bored in this house, but that won't happen.

I go back upstairs and get ready for bed. I watched a youtube video for a night time routine and I got products to help with my acne. Once I got done, I jumped into my bed and turned on the tv

I watched tv for a bit then turned it off and fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning, nervous to hang out with anthony

I brushed my teeth and took a shower. I went downstairs to eat some breakfast

"Good morning Miss Isabella" I said

"Good morning skylar, cereal?" She asked

"Sure" I said

She handed me a bowl of cereal which I ate. I went back upstairs and finished getting ready for the day
