The estranged family

Chapter 75-Weekend with tyler

Tyler's p.o.v

Skylar fell asleep for about 2 hours and I stayed with her the whole time even though my back started to hurt.

"Do you want to go out for dinner?" I asked skylar as we still sat in the treehouse

"I think I'm just gonna go to sleep, today has been exhausting" she replied, getting up from the couch.

"Ok, I'll be staying the night so if you need me I'll be in my old bedroom" I said giving her the option. I know it isn't easy for her so I want her to be comfortable.

"Ok, goodnight" she smiled before he climbed down the ladder

"Goodnight sky" I replied watching her leave the treehouse. I stayed up in the treehouse for another 15 minutes thinking about today and how it's been shit. I'm happy we went to therapy but I wish it didn't end like it did.

"Can mom come inside?" My mom said peaking her head up like she used to do when I was little

"Yes mom" I replied as I see her walk towards me.

"How's Skylar?" She asked

"She's been better, I don't think I've seen this bad of a panic attack. Finding out about Serena and who she was really took a toll on her" I replied trying not too relive what I saw. I was scared, I didn't know if the ice pack would still do it.

"Do you think she's gonna go back to her old self?" That's another thing I was scared of when it came to Skylar. I hope she doesn't and Dr. Genevieve will help her go through this problem but I really wish she doesn't go back to her old self.

"I hope not, I pray she doesn't because if it's like when I went to jail and that fiasco then it will be bad." I sighed, face in my hands as I continuously think about Skylar and her mental well-being "God I wish she knew in the beginning"

"It's not your fault, we don't know how Skylar was going to react then or now. Maybe this is better, hating your father might bring you two closer." She shrugged

"I hope, I just want Skylar to know I am here for her. It's not fair that she is going through all of this and I just want her to have a normal childhood or at least a somewhat normal one" I replied

"You are trying so stop being too hard on you. Just be there for your daughter even if you seem overbearing." She suggested, maybe I need to be overbearing

"Oh by the way, I need you and dad to leave for the weekend. It is apart of our exercise and it will determine if Skylar is scared to stay with me alone or if it is the house and the memories associated with it. If it's the house then I am going to buy a new one, if it's me then I will work on myself even more." I hope it is the house and not me, because I don't know how long I can go knowing that I am the reason for everything.

"Ok, we can leave this weekend. Anyway I think it is good for your father and I to spend some time together" She added making me gag as she rolled her eyes at me "Come on, I made you some dinner" she got up, following behind her. We got inside and ate the dinner she made. Once I finished eating food, I headed upstairs and changed into some shorts and shirt from the closet then went to check on Skylar. I slowly open up her door to see her sleeping peacefully, Ash sleeping at the foot of the bed. Walking towards her, I kiss her head then give Ash a big belly rub before leaving her room. I wish she was this peaceful and not only when she sleeps. Going back to my room, I turn on the fan and head off to bed, hoping that tomorrow is better

the weekend

Skylar's p.o.v

The week has been interesting, finding out who Serena is related to the was the highlight of my week and now I will be spending the weekend with Tyler by ourselves.
