I followed Nash into his house.
"Hey Nash." His mom greeted
"Hi Bella." She hugged me.
"Okay so I need to go to work and you only need to watch Skylnn, Hayes is at lacrosse."
"Okay love you mom." They hugged
His mom ran out the door. "Skylnn." Nash called.
"Are you hiding from me?" He asked
A tiny giggle came from behind the couch.
"I wonder where...." He climbed on top of the couch. "Skylnn is!" He popped out scaring her. She made a tiny squeal and ran into his arms.
"You found me." She laughed.
"I sure did" he spun her around and kissed her cheek. I almost died, he's so cute with children.
She stopped giggling when she saw me. "do you like horses?" She pointed at me.
"I-I uh yeah." I laughed
"Come follow." She reached for my arm and dragged me to her room. I looked at Nash who had a smirk on his face while shrugging.
I was pulled into sky's room.
"This is periwinkle." She held up a pink horse.
"And this is buttercup." She handed me a yellow horse. "You're buttercup"
Suddenly my phone started ringing,
My mom.
"Hello."
"Hey um how is-"
"Nash!" Skylnn screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Nash?" My mother yelled "why is there a child and why are you with Nash?"
"Mom" I yelled.
"You can't control every move I make, Nash is my best friend wether you like it or not."
"You're so dead when I get back." She spat and hung up.
"Skylnn sweetie, I have to go I'll play with you later ,I promise."
"Bye Bella." She waved.
I walked into the living room to find Nash. He was sitting on the couch and looked very upset.
"Why does she hate me?" He probably heard.
"I don't know, my mom has problems."
"How are we going to hang out?"
"We'll figure it out." I hugged him tightly.
"I have to go, bye Nash." I waved with a smile.
"Be safe getting back!" He smiled.
2 days later
It's the day my mom comes back, I was waiting for her to barge through the door and attack me. Suddenly, I heard a car door slam shut. I gulped and prepared myself.
The door busted open like I guessed it would.
"So what the hell, explain now." She dropped her bags on the floor.
"Why do you hate him?" I spat.
She walked closer to me.
"Exactly because you have no reason." I screamed.
Her arm raised, her fist making contact with my jaw, sending me backwards. She hit me a few more times repeatedly then stormed out the room.
I simply got up an headed to the bathroom as I was used to the pain.

"Looking up from underneath, featured moonlight on the sea." I sang
"Reflections still look the same to me." I sang as I looked in the mirror observing the damage.
I quickly changed the song.
"Are you going to age with grace, are you going to leave a path to trace." I stared coldly at my reflection.
"when oblivion is calling out your name." I paused.
I shut off the radio and went to the washroom.
