The next morning I ended up getting up before everyone so I took a quick shower and went downstairs to make everyone breakfast. Today Malia wants to confront Skylar at school although I was not sure that was the greatest idea or place for this to take place. I love that our girl wants to take this head on but I think she may be moving too fast for her own good. While I was thinking about all of this I whipped up some eggs and bacon along with everyone’s coffee. After I was done plating everything I heard footsteps coming down the steps and saw Malia with Ryder and Asher right behind her.
“Morning Grayson. Oh, you are amazing! I could love you forever if you do this every morning of my life!” she chirped. After coming up to me and smacking a loud kiss on my cheek she went and sat down to eat. Leaning up against the counter I study her face to see if she was giving anything away in her expression about how she was feeling today. Not a damn thing was going on, just her satisfaction of the food I made. Huh? She was usually an open book about her feelings. She actually looks really refreshed in a beautiful way only Malia could pull off.
“Baby? How are you feeling today?” I asked a little while after she finished eating.
“Honestly I am feeling kind of numb. I want to get this over with actually. I don’t want to dwell on things that don’t matter. Considering Helen probably knew about me being here and decided not to tell anyone that just shows how unimportant I am to her so why should I let it bother me? I have everyone I need right here. Plus my dad is getting better so there is that,” she confessed.
“So should we get this show on the road since we have to get to school?” she asked. Malia got up from the table and went upstairs to get her backpack I was guessing.
“Anyone else find her behavior a little odd?” Ryder asked, his voice dripping with concern. Nodding Asher answered, “Yes but I could see how she would just want to be done with it all and move on as well. If I could move on from everything that goes on in my house with one confrontation you bet your ass I would and I would feel great doing it.”
“Well, fuck I guess you have a point there.” Ryder said, sounding impressed by Asher’s answer.
When Malia came back downstairs we all got in the car like usual with me up front in the passenger seat, Ryder driving, and Ash with Malia in the back seat. I guess it was now or never before I asked her if she wanted us with her while she talked to Skylar. So I asked and she replied, “I love you for being worried about me Grayson but I think this is something I need to do on my own. Honestly I think Skylar is going to take this news horribly. I actually feel really fucking awful that I have to be the one to tell her about it.”
“Alright well since we are here early do you want to try to find her now?” Asher asked her.
“Yeah actually she is right there so I think I will just go now. Love you.” She got out of the car and we all just sat and watched waiting for the reaction Malia thinks was coming.

Usually my mornings go off without a hitch but today seems like it wants to fuck me over and I have a feeling it was going to get even worse. Getting dressed I went downstairs to grab my coffee and I was out of the house in no time. Since no one was home like usual since daddy was working and mom was, actually I didn't even know where she was this time, I got in my car and went. Mom travels so much I think we get to see her for the holidays, maybe, if we were lucky. I couldn’t really complain about anything though because I got whatever I wanted whenever I asked for it.
On my way to school I picked up the twins and they were talking non stop which I found extremely annoying today for some reason. It almost feels like this day was just meant to be bad. I didn't have many bad days but when I did they were awful. That was just great. Well, I was not going to think about that. Thinking on a happier note I actually had a good time at Ryder’s Halloween party this weekend. Besides Aunt Jessa falling down the steps it was a lot of fun. Oh and besides the fact that that slut Malia decided she was going to kiss all three guys including Ryder who I actually thought we had something this summer but then she came into the picture and stole him right out from under me like it was nothing.
Whatever. When I pulled into school there wasn’t anyone here like usual because I was always early. Parking my car in my spot I got out and made my way towards the picnic table where me and the girls usually sit until the bell rings. The twins were chatting non stop today. God someone get me out of here. I just didn't seem to have the patience for it today. Like God was answering my prayers someone came walking up
