Skylar's POVI tried my best to keep my calm while Alex drove to God knows where. The streets had started emptying up by now and the sky had completely darkened up. I was still clutching onto my seat and I was still panicking, my eyes darting from Alex's face to the windows. I was just trusting God at this point.After what felt like awfully long hours, he finally stopped his car. And when I looked outside in alarm, it took me a while to recognize where we were. "Where are we?" I almost cringed at the strain in my voice. I didn't want to be scared, I wanted Alex to tell me that this was fine; everything was fine."My house." He replied and failed to spare me a single glance. I noticed the emotionless expression on his face and that made the situation seem ten times worse. "Come on now."I watched him get out and close the doo

 Skylar's POV"Don't shout.""What?" I whispered when I felt the strange grip loosening around my wrist. "Caden?"I thought I had somehow been mistaken until he switched on the only light source in this small room; a dimly lit bulb on the ceiling. However, it was enough for me to make out his face.  "Do you enjoy scaring the living daylights out of me?" I asked him unbelievably. My heart was still hammering loudly in my chest, scared that it could've been anyone other than Caden.Why couldn't he have acted in a normal way and not drag me inside

 Skylar's POVOnce Mom and Dad had left for the wedding, I spent the entire day watching movies with Chicken. And I kept on watching them until midnight.It was way past midnight by now; hours since my parents had left.Cole had been one of my childhood friends, back when we lived at our old house. His parents and my parents, they were like great friends—along with them being our neighbors too. The only problem was that I had a huge crush on him. And he considered me as his sister.It sucked, I know.Sitting on this couch, in my pajamas, was way more comfortable than seeing my old crush getting married. To my cousin, may I add.I couldn't believe that mostly. How come my freaking cousin ended up with him when it was

 Skylar's POVI pushed open the glass doors as I went inside the incredibly small shop. Like it was really small and suffocating. The moment I entered, I heard a bell chime above me, announcing my arrival to the completely empty shop.It was a typical antique store. Everything in here seemed to have something consisting glass pieces; mirrors. Real mirrors, glass pieces carved into giant vases, wind chimes made out of mirror shards.The shopkeeper must be into mirrors.I hadn't intended to come out here alone, not when Dad had told me how dangerous this was. But at the same time, I didn't find it in me to ask someone to come along with me. I could've asked Caden.But I hadn't."Hello, young lady. May I help you?" I heard a voice right behind me.

 Skylar's POV"—it isn't bad here. I like this school." Brody said.I wasn't exactly paying attention to whatever he had been saying, especially since I was tired as hell. I didn't get to have much sleep last night. Between those overwhelming thoughts and one specific nightmare about Alex, it was a bit hard to sleep. Every few minutes later I had to keep on reassuring myself that no one was breaking in my house, not when Mom and Dad were still here.I just missed Alex."Hey," It was when Brody gently nudged my shoulder with his, that I looked at him. "Why do you seem so down today?"I was counting by the seconds, waiting for this class to get over. Since the teacher wasn't present today, the substitute one had given us a free period. And that just gave the others to talk loudly, not letting me have even
