My Words Cut Deep

Skyla bit down on her bottom lip, holding tears back that burned at the back of her eyes. Sitting on the edge of the couch, shaking, not wanting to hear the words. With whatever will power she had left she focused on what was coming from of her fiancé’s lips. Making the decision tore her heart, but his reaction shattered what was left. “I will always love you, I am sorry.” Frozen to her spot, all she could do was watch him stand up and walk to their front door. Inside her head she was screaming, she was lost, hopeless... losing everything. A tear finally slipping down her cheek, before she knew what she was doing she blurted out a plea. “Please stay! Please… what about Elizabeth… she needs you… I-I need you.” A hand went to her mouth.

He walked back over to her, placing a kiss on her forehead. “She has a father, I need to step out of the picture.” Before she could do anything he walked away from her, picked up his bags and walked out the front door. Skyla fell to her knees as sobs took over her body. “W-what ab-bout m-me.” Came out in a small whisper. He just left, he made it seem like it was the easiest thing to do.

After what felt like an eternity, a small hand tapped on the back of Skyla’s shoulder. “Mummy, why are you cryin’?” Skyla wiped at her eyes and turned her head to face the worried looking child. Knowing she probably looked like a mess to her daughter. The child leaned in and wrapped her small arms around Skyla’s neck. “Don’t be sad mummy.” In returned she put her arms around her daughter and stood up with her. “It’s okay baby doll, your hugs made mummy feel better.” She smiled, as her daughter clapped her hands in excitement. "I love you mummy." She squeaked. Skyla kissed the childs forehead, "I love you to baby doll."

Walking to her daughter’s room, she placed the little girl down. “Want to help mummy pack for our trip?” She smiled lightly at the young girl. After a very excited smile, they both worked together to pack up a couple suitcases. Filling them with clothes, toys and the needed essentials. About an hour later into the packing the child had fallen asleep. Moving over to pick her up, Skyla placed her in bed kissing her on the forehead. “Goodnight Eliza.” A small smile danced on her lips, as she left the room quietly. It wasn't long till sadness consumed the young twenty three old. Walking back into her she felt an emptiness that her fiancé left behind. After standing in the door way trying to keep it together, she spent a lot of the night packing for the early flight.

Laying in her bed she stared at the ceiling, words passing through her head.
“I know she is not mine.”
“The older she gets, the more she looks like someone else.”
“Brown eyes, brown, blondish hair, tall, slim…”
“Why didn’t you just tell me?”
They echoed and chipped away at her emotions, tears slowly falling down her face once again.

Looking over to her clock, she sighed when she realized that it was already three in the morning. Skyla jumped a little when her phone started to vibrate on the night stand. Picking it up and being blinded by the light, she answered on speaker phone. “Hello”
“Hey love… how’d Ryan take the news?”
“He left.” Skyla bluntly stated, nothing behind her words.
“What?! I’m so sorry, I didn't see that coming… I can book a last minute flight and go with you?”
“Thank Emmy, but you don’t have too…I’m o-okay.”
“Are you sure?”
Skyla stayed silent, her eyes flickering around her room, trying to convince her self she was okay.
“Skyla? You there?”
“I’m sorry, yeah… I am more nervous of coming forward. Like how do I get a hold of him? He is not going to believe me.” She chewed on her bottom lip as a sigh came from the other line.
“It’s going to be hard because he’s so well-known with his band… it could be seen as lie to get closer to him. Like a crazy fan… but Skyla, you don’t want money or anything.”
Before she could speak up, her friend quickly added on. “Plus she looks like him, Google any picture of him and I see Elizabeth.”
“I guess you are right… I better get Eliza up, plane leave to California in a couple hours.”

Notes

Hey guys,
So I haven't written a good fanfic in a long time!
I have no idea if this will be good or terrible.
Chapters maybe slow because I am in University....
(Speaking of that just because I am in Uni doesn't mean my spelling and grammar abilities are great. I suck.)
Don't be scared to critique me or correct me...
I hope you enjoy!
Don't forget to comment!

Warning: first couple of chapters won't have Austin in them, but he will be either in the third or forth
:)
