Chapter 50: A LOVE SO STRONG

Skylar rushed out of the restaurant in fear as she clutched her dress tightly, she ran until she stopped at the garden where Vino and she had argued the night of Mrs. Devin’s painting.   Her heartbeat beating erratically in her ribcage signifies her fear. If only Paula had told her about the secret birthday celebration, she wouldn't have bothered coming.  She can't have Vino leaving her too. She couldn't survive without him in her life. She had survived when her father left but it was so hard. She had to watch her mom shoulder all responsibility herself so that she couldn't help blaming herself. if only she hadn't insisted on celebrating her birthday that night. Her parents would have still been together. None of this would have happened.  Skyler sighed heavily as she sat down on a swing at the far edge of the restaurant which was hiding away from the view of anyone coming here as she thought back to that night...  It was the beginning of the first snow, the night was quiet and serene.
