Chapter 39: Secrets

I was on my way to Principal Jackman's office when I bumped into Patrick on the halls. I was too busy thinking of how my life is tragic.


"I'm sorry!" He said


"No, I was the one not paying attention to where I was going. I'm sorry" I suddenly went dizzy that I had to lean on by the Janitor's closet.


"Are you okay?" He ask with concern


"I'm fine, I skip breakfast maybe that's why I went a little dizzy" I explain


"You know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right?"


"I know, I know!" I smiled


"Why don't you have my sandwich" he gives me his sandwich "don't worry, It's clean" he jokes


"Thanks!"


"Welcome! I should go now" he gestured the other way


"Okay, thanks for the sandwich" then he continued walking to his way, I looked at the sandwich in my hand and realize that I haven't had a proper meal in the past few days. I was about to bite to the sandwich when I think I heard a gigle coming from the inside of the closet. I lean in to listen closer and a sound came from the closet again, I was about to open it when Ms. Scarlett called for me.


"Skye! Mr. Jackman is asking for you"


"Coming!" I said walking my way to the office, as I enetered the door to the principal's office I became dizzy again.


"Are you okay Skye?" Principal Jackmans asked


"I think I'm not feeling well" I said hand on my forehead


"Why don't you go home and rest for today, you look pale" he said


"But I have classes"


"I'll tell your teachers about it, now go and rest"


"Thank you Sir!" I weakly smiled "Atleast tell me why you wanted me here, sir"


"I just wanted to ask about the homecoming preparation for tomorrow"


"Sir, Skye was not part of that committee" Ms. Scarlet informing Principal Jackman


"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"


"You just ask for Skye" she answered


"Fine! Fine!" He gestured to Ms. Scarlet "You Miss should get home, I'll inform your Mom pick you up"


"Thank you Sir"

DYLAN'S P.O.V


I was hoping to maybe talk to Skye today. I really wanted to tell her that my Dad and I talked and he finally told mom the truth about everything. Heather was waiting by the door outside the boy's locker room.


"Can we talk?" She said


"About what?"


"I know that you and Skye are over and it's because Vanessa is pregnant, right?"


"Yes, and?"


"I think the baby is not yours Dylan" I can hear in her voice that she is somehow sure


"Vanessa said that the baby is mine"


"No it's not Dylan, it's Clark's!" She said "I know you have your doubts trusting me but please trust me on this. I saw Vanessa walk out of the janitor's closet like maybe like a month ago, I saw her frequently coming out of the closet after that but I wasn't like paying much attention then there was this one day that after she left the closet Clark came out after her a minute after."


"I thought you were dating Clark?"


"We broke up after a month of being together, we weren't really working out" she explains "As I was saying, Vanessa was cheating on you with Clark and the thing is that Clark could be the baby's real father"


"I wanna believe you but I need proof or else, I'll be just accusing her" I said


"Okay, I'll get you proof!" She said and then quickly walked away


"What did Heather want? Don't tell she wants to get back at you?" Simon face palming himself


"No, she told me that Clark might be the Baby's father" I really wanna believe that Clark is father


"If that is true, you can get back with Skye"


"I don't want to get my hopes up"


"With the help of Heather, we can know" he pats my shoulder


I don't want my hopes up but I am already hoping.


I saw Skye at lunch by her locker with Serena, Jake and Amber. There was just something that was missing in her after the break up, her smile was lost. I took it away from her.


"Hi Baby!" Vanessa kissed my cheeks then intertwining our hands together


"I have been looking all over for you, where have you been?" I said taking a note Cindy gave me to give her.


"I was with Cindy, she wanted to tell me something"


She was lying.


"Really? You saw Cindy?" I put the note back


"Yeah, why?"


"Nothing!" I tried to hide my smile that maybe Heather was really right after all. My phone beeped and it was Heather.


HEATHER:


I HAVE THE PROOF YOU WANTED. MEET ME BY THE JANITOR'S CLOSET.
-


I shove my phone back to my pocket.


"Who was that?"


"Just my mom, asking what time I'll be home" I said as I slip out my hand off hers "I need yo be somewhere"


"But you have to walk me to class" she complain


"Vanessa, you're pregnant not disabled" after saying that I left her and meeting Heather by the Janitor's closet


"Here!" She handed me her phone "I have it all on video" I played the video and it really was true, not just Vanessa coming out of the closet but it's a video of her and Clark on the closet. "You believe me now?" I nodded


"Why are you trying to help me?" I look at her


"It's my way of saying sorry for hurting you before. Don't worry I don't want you back, I'm onto College boys now" she explains "and I saw how you and Skye looked at eachother, you were so inlove" she smiles


"Thank you Heather" I smiled at her


"No big deal! Now get your girl!" She pushed me


"Okay! Thanks again!"


I went to Vanessa's room and found her there as always talking gossips with some of her friends.


"Hi Dylan! Miss me already?" Her smile is really decieving. I gave her the phone. "What's this?"


"Why don't you tell me what it is!" He plays the video and was all shocked and wide eyes from it "Any lies for me?"


"It's not true!" she aclaims


"Clearly everything that you saw and I saw was real, how could it not be?"


"Let me explain!"


"Better explain who is the real father of that baby?!" I was so pissed and so full of her lies


"You!" She still manage to lie to my face


"Really? How could I ever believe that when I already know that you were with Clark even when we were together. You were so mad and all hurt when you knew that I was with Skye but the truth is you were cheating on me long before that" I don't care if everyone in class was listening, they need to know what kind if person she is "Now answer me! Who is the baby's father!?" slamming my hand on the table


"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She was now crying "I just did it to make Skye miserable!" She finally admits


"Why would you do that to her?"


"Because she was always the favorite and I was not, she's always better at everything even though I was prettier. I WAS SO SICK OF IT! HAVING YOU MEANS I WIN!" She tried to explain her side of the story


"Do you decided to hurt her instead? So that you can feed your own jealousy that was based of nothing"


"You can say that for you don't know how it feels to be compared to her. Why don't you be like Skye she's smart? Skye is talented, Vanessa is not. Skye is nice, Vanessa is not. I felt that everytime I was with her and when you were at Hawaii the same time, I knew it that maybe this was the change of everything. Finally I could have something that Skye couldn't have for the first time"


"That's all bullshit Vanessa, you know she love you like a sister. You just let your own insecurities ruin you"


"I'm sorry! Please Dylan" she was begging and crying


"No! I have enough of your lies"


"I'm sorry!"


"I'm not the one you should be asking for forgiveness"


"Please don't leave me!" She was holding my arm to prevent me from leaving


"It's too late" I pushed her hands off
