Memory

Demi

"I never thought of it like that." Wilmer said, and grabbed a laptop. "So you wanna hear a life song or a love song first?"

I shrugged, "Life."

He nodded, "This one has a music video. It's called skyscraper. You recorded it before you wen into treatment, but it was your lead single when you got out and started your new album."

I nodded and watched the screen as the music to a piano opened the song.

Skies are crying, I am watching, catching teardrops in my hands.

Only silence, has it's ending, like we never had a chance.

Do you have to, make me feel like, there's nothing left of me.

Would it make you, feel better, to watch me as I bleed?

All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet.

You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am.

Like I'm made of glass, like I'm made of paper.

And go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground.

Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper.

By the time the song ended I was in tears, smiling as Wilmer gripped my hand and kissed my temple.

"That was... wow."

He nodded, "It was emotional for you to record, but you did. You overcame everything."

I smiled, "What's next?"

He typed something into the computer, "This is a song you wrote when you and me were away from each other for a long time."

I nodded, leaning my head against his chest as the music started.

The space in between us makes me feel like we're worlds apart.

Like I'm going crazy, and you say it's rainin' in your heart.

You're tellin me nobody's there, to dry up the flood.

Oh but that's just crazy, cause baby I told you, I'm here for good.

My love's like a star yeah

You can't always see me but you know that I'm always there.

If you see one shinin' take that it's mine

And remember I'm always near.

When the music stopped, I was smiling hugely, "I was so in love with you."

He nodded, "Hopefully when this amnesia thing wears off, you still will be."

In that moment, I could see the fear in his eyes, that I would never snap out of this, that I would never love him like that again.

"Don't worry, I will. And if I don't, I'll learn to love you. I'm already halfway there."

He smiled and leaned in, "I know you will, but it's okay. I'll love enough for the both of us."

I pressed my lips to his and and ran my fingers through his hair. I wanted to know what it felt like to kiss him, not just safe pecks, but really kiss him. I deepened the kiss, pressing my body against his. Wilmer's hands spread over my back and kissed me back, holding the nape of my neck securely. I gently pushed my tongue into his mouth, and he did the same, both of us exploring the other's mouth. I shifted so I was straddling him, and could feel him getting hard against my leg. Wilmer gently bit down on my lower lip, and a jolt went through me, straight down to my core. My hips jerked, rubbing our crotches together and Wilmer let out a soft moan against my lips. Finally, we broke apart, still closely intertwined, and our faces centimeters apart, breathing heavily.

"Wow." I whispered.

He smiled, stroking my cheeks, "That's how I feel every time you kiss me."

I smiled and touched his lips with the tips of my fingers, "Now I know why I married you."

Wilmer chuckled and leaned in my kiss me against, which I happily reciprocated. When we pulled away I let out a sigh and leaned my forehead against his, "God I wish I could remember you, all of you."

Wilmer wrapped his arms around me and pulled me even closer to him, "Don't worry Dems, even if you don't, I'll always be here to remind you."

I smiled, "I know, but I want to keep trying, can we do the focused memory thing again?"

He smiled, "Of course."

He went to move out from under me but I grabbed his shoulders, giving him a small smile, "I'm pretty comfortable here."

Wilmer shrugged and pecked my lips, "Me too. Now close your eyes." I did as he said and bit my lip, letting my body relax in his arms. "Just think and try to remember." I inhaled slowly, letting my mind drift.

"Come on Demi, you need to do this or daddy will get mad. It's okay. You're pretty girl."

I squirmed in the unfamiliar man's arms and found that my feet didn't touch the floor, I was a kid. This was a memory from my childhood. His hand began to creep up my thigh and I cried out, thrashing around in the restricting arms.

"Demi!"

"NO!" I shouted, and my eyes flew open.

Wilmer was looking at me with a concerned expression. I covered my mouth with my hand as tears came to my eyes.

"Hey it's okay." He pulled me into his arms and I buried my face into his chest, letting out a sob. "Shh Demi, it's okay, I've got you. I'm here."

I twisted my fingers in his shirt and shook my head, "If that's in my memory, I'm glad I forgot everything."

Wilmer's hand rubbed my back soothingly, "Demi it's in your past. You've gotten through it."

I shook my head, "That was horrible."

He listen my chin with his finger, his eyes searching mine, "What happened?"

I took a deep breath, "There was a man... and I was a little kid. He kept sliding his hand up my thigh."I broke off and pushed my face back into his shoulder, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"It's okay baby." He murmured, and kissed my temple, "He can't get you anymore. I promise."
