CHAPTER 8

SKYLAR

Days are passing by me and I’m losing track. I’m also growing tired of keeping up with Alex. He’s so chaotic with no patterns to whether he’s sleeping, walking around, or talking in other parts of the house. It’s honestly creepy, but he hasn’t focused on touching me again which is good but also not. I’m starting to crave his attention. It’s lonely in this house. I have no one to talk to. My depression has me lying in bed for days on end. I’ve started to make an indentation in this bed and sometimes I get this weird sensation that bugs are crawling on me.

I think I need to get out of here, out of this house. That will help me. Fresh air to think, I need to feel productive like I’m moving forward and not stuck in my own personal hell.

He’s given me more clothes to wear, some handmade joggers and a T-shirt that looks like my grandmother made it. I miss my own clothes. I’m thick and curvy, and they fit a little tight around the hips, and are long in the legs. Short and curvy problems. But they fit fine with the pant legs rolled up a few times. He’s actually a foot taller than I am so that’s probably why.

I’ve always had a problem with trying to borrow other girls’ clothes and them not really fitting. It just ended up making me feel worse about myself. So I just started avoiding doing that altogether. I wouldn’t even try and attempt it.

At least he is that, so the clothes fit where it matters. I have to stay positive. At least I still have my chucks. They’re like a comfort to me now. The one thing I have left of myself.

I edge to the bedroom door so as not to make Alex too aware that I’m up and just trying to peek in on what he might be up to. I ease the door open and head for the stairs. I don’t see him at all, but all of a sudden, I feel a presence behind me, and his hot breath is on my ear.

“Where are you going, little butterfly?”

I whirl around and almost lose my balance on the top step of the stairs, but he reaches a hand out and grabs hold of my forearm to keep me from falling to my death. With my clumsy ass, these stairs are going to kill me. That would just be ironic. I look up into his eyes, and he has a devilish smile on his face.

“I was actually just looking for you.”

He arches up an eyebrow, seemingly curious. I’m guessing because I’ve been holed up in his room for days now, just lying there pondering what I should do in this situation. “Oh, really? Well, you found me.”

I swallow hard. “I was wondering if I could go for a walk around outside since you won’t let me wander around the house. I need some fresh air.”

He leans his head to the side and ponders it for a bit.
