Skylar's voice boomed into the phone,still enraged,"Mason Reed!!Are you insane?!Peyton is missing and that's all you have to say?!You and I both know that she'd never ignore my calls for days unend!"
I suddenly remembered that Skylar invited me for shopping yesterday the day before I hadn't answered her calls…I couldn't respond to her messages.
She must be worried sick,not knowing where I was.
"You're aiding her charade!You know how Peyton behaves.She's probably hiding,and then manipulating me into marrying her!"He retorted."Like I care what happens to her."
"You're being unreasonable right now!But I tell you what;if anything happens to Peyton,I'll make sure that you regret it!Mason Reed,mark my words!"Skylar's voice trembled with rage.
I envision her red,angry face.I was sure that Skylar was going to report my disappearance to the police,and made sure that the almighty and ruthless Mason Reed regretted this moment.

(Peyton's POV)
"Report her to the police as a missing person?Fine,go ahead then!Let the cops decide who's being unreasonable!You're only wasting public resources."Mason sneered,his tone dripping with contempt.He really hated me.The amount of hate laced in his words were venomous and I couldn't believe it.
For Harper,Mason was ready to do anything,including belittling me in front of everyone.It broke my heart even more and the fact that I was still linked to him made everything worse.
It felt like I was reliving my torment,but I also felt terrible for Skylar.She was a mess the more she worried for my sake.
She was the only one who cared about me enough to report me as a missing person to the police department.My heart warmed at the thought.She was my best friend for a reason and I was glad that I didn't make a mistake with her.
Skylar was the definition of the sisterhood bond.
Unlike Skylar who was tough on love,I didn't have the kind of heart that she did.I once naively believed Mason Reed would one day realize his mistakes and come apologizing to me…I fantasized about it,hence I worked harder to make it a reality.
Now,it was laughable.I smacked myself on the forehead for being stupid all these years in the name of love.For putting him above myself and letting him walk all over me with his side piece,feeding me with the crumbs that fell from their table.
