The Life and Death of Skylar Lovato

Angels Among Us

Skylar's POV

Today Demi is auditioning for Barney. I'm excited for her but kinda jealous. Mommy and daddy wouldn't let me audition. They said we was 'only here for Demetria.' I'm used to it though. They always liked Demi more.

Demi never really liked me, even though I'm her twin. She's the popular one at school. Her friends are mean to me, they said that I'm ugly. Doesn't that mean Demi is ugly too?

Demi came out of the audition and we got in the car.

When we got home, I ran up to my room. I didn't wanna talk to Demi, mommy, or daddy. I should have known not to expect anything from them. They hate me.

I was just laying on my bed when someone knocked on my door. "Who is it?" My voice cracked and that's when I knew I was crying. "Demi. Are you okay Sky?" I do NOT wanna talk to Demi. "GO AWAY DEMI!" I yelled at her. I heard her run away.

Then my door opened. Without looking I said, "Go away." The door shut and someone spoke, "Sky, what's wrong baby girl?" Dallas asked. I rolled over and looked at her. "Nothing." She laughed. "Stop lying Skylar. You're crying. Tell me what wrong. I won't tell. I promise." She walked over to my bed and laid down next to me. She pulled me closer to her and I started crying more. Dallas has always been there for me when no one else has.

"Mommy and daddy hate me. De-" Dallas put her hand over my mouth before I could finish.

"Baby they don't hate you. Why would you think that!?" I kept crying. "Because they always do stuff with Demi. They take her to do tv auditions and I'm not allowed to. Daddy doesn't even talk to me." I looked up at Dallas and she was starting to tear up. I wiped her tears with my thumbs. "They don't hate you baby. I promise, okay?" "Okay." I wipe her tears away again. "I love you baby girl." I smile a little. "I love you too Dal." She gets up but I pull her back down with her shirt.

"Stay. Please. I'm scared." She lays back down and snuggles into me. "Baby, why are you scared?" I wait a little bit before I answer. "Just cuz." She says okay and then I fell asleep.

Demi's POV

"Demetria! Go get Skylar and come into the kitchen." Mommy yelled. I ran up the stairs and over to her room. I knock on her door. She quietly says, "Who is it?" Her voice cracked a little bit. I leaned against the door. "Demi. Are you okay Sky?" She yells at me very angrily. "GO AWAY DEMI!" I've never heard her yell like that. So I just ran into the kitchen.

"Demi, where's Skylar?" "She yelled at me and told me to go away." My mom looked at Dallas. "Dallas, go get that bratt out of her room." I looked at Dallas. She looked mad. "She's not a bratt! Stop calling her that!" She stormed up to Skylar's room and walked in. I turned back to mom. "Mommy, I don't like Sylar. She's always getting in the way of things." Mom looked shocked by what I said. "Demetria! Whether you like it or not, she is your sister. Your twin actually. She loves you. And you love her. Period." I got mad. I don't love Skylar. I hate her. "No I don't! I don't love her!"

"Demi! Do you know what you're doing to that girl? She now knows you hate her. She's your sister! What would you do if I told you I hated you??!!!" I turned around and saw Dallas with puffy cheeks. She ran to her room crying. I did the same into my room.

I still hate her.
