Always, Our Secret Dream 3

After a few steadying breaths, I read through the post I've drafted for Instagram. As soon as I press post I press the 'Live' buttons on our streaming platform for Spitfire.

"For all the girls and boys who have been manipulated and betrayed into forgiveness. I hope you can find solace and peace in the lyrics of these five songs. My family and I are going through some trials at the moment and as much as we love sharing with you all we need some time to process and close some doors. We love you all and can't wait to share our story with you. And to the man who never fails to treat me like the Queen, I aspire to be. You are more to me than Honey to a Bee - I love you beyond eternity @BryanWilliams"

@Music_Studio's Okay girl, talk about a working mom. Not many ladies would be releasing new albums at 8 months pregnant!! Go, Queen. x
↪️ Gotta keep making those dollars, dollar bills. The music stops for no one, not even pregnancy.

@Bubbles98 I both love and hate how much I relate to each of these tracks. 😭
↪️ I'm sorry you had to experience something like this. You are stronger than you realise and I'm happy that my music has offered you a safe place to land and express yourself. ❤️
↪️ @Bubbles98 I'm sorry that you had to go through hell to write these songs, I'm not a words-smith but I'm grateful to you for turning something so terrible into something beautiful. I think 'Taut to Manipulate' is my new favourite song by you.
↪️ Aww thank you. As much as I hate to have lived some parts of life I would never turn back to the clock as it led me to now and I am blessed beyond belief.

@QuinnTaylors_ Excuse you? How could you not prewarn your bestie that you were going to release something so powerful that I have become a blubbering mess?!?
↪️ Yes? How could I prewarn you when it was a spur-of-the-moment decision? Besides, you and I both know that you'd cry over my music regardless if it was something happy or sad...
↪️ @QuinnTaylors I'm not sure I appreciate your tone!
↪️ 🤨@Dom_Taylors Come get your wife, she's being mean to me.
↪️ @Dom_Taylors You can't do this to me!! I don't want to be tugged into one of your bickering squabbles. This is a sister debate - I'm dipping out.
↪️ @QuinnTaylors I think I should be more offended that my own husband just refused to back me. @SkylarRiverWilliams_ Can you believe him?
↪️ Honestly babe that's some deep-level disrespect. The audacity of that man. At least you have me though - I would never do that xx
↪️ @QuinnTaylors True. At least I can count on you. That's why your my ride or die. x

@Christopher_Williams I go away for three weeks and I open Insta to this...Cookie you have me right in my feels. I love this and I appreciate you. Miss you, sis.
↪️ Teddy!!! Three weeks feels like three months. I miss you so much. Come back and be my movie buddy - Bryan can't get the salt-to-sweet ratio right on my popcorn 🥺
↪️ @Christopher_Williams Won't be long now Cookie. I promise to come around and make you a huge bowl!

↪️ @BryanWilliams_ You can't have the stars without the moon, baby. 💕
↪️ Your my moon 🌑
↪️@BryanWilliams_ And you're the stars. We've got this baby. You're stronger than anything life can throw your way. And when you feel like you need to step back I will be right beside you to take over the reins and get us to the finish line.
↪️ See, you're not just a handsome face. I don't know what I did in a past life to end up deserving you in this one, maybe I don't but hell I'm greedy when it comes to you and I will never let you go.
↪️ @BryanWilliams_ Baby, if you're greedy for me then what does that make me for you? I will never let you go, princess. Your mine now, tomorrow and forever. In this life and however many more lives we have.

@Ophelia.Rivers Sounds to me that someone is crying wolf. It's really pathetic how you're trying to play the victim. Grow Up, Skylar.
↪️ @BryanWilliams_ Excuse you, I'm not sure if you're commenting on the correct person's post but we don't tolerate haters here. If you can't match our energy, remove yourself from this comment section.
↪️ @Ophelia.Rivers It's pathetic that your itty-bitty mouse of a wife can't stand up for herself. Damn, we really did do something wrong as parents..but then again no parent would want a child like her.
↪️ I'm not sure what your issue with my music or this post is but I would appreciate it if you would keep thinking before you comment. I know who you are and a fake-ish username isn't going to hide you. But, hey, I'm not going to expose your real name as I know the women at the country club wouldn't approve of your keyboard bashing...so maybe for once listen to the lady you failed and walk away. I won't ask nicely a second time, instead, you will be blocked.
↪️ @Ophelia.Rivers Ah. She speaks. Don't threaten me, little girl, you might not live in the same country as me but that won't prevent me from stopping access to your trust fund. We all know they are really only in the US to make money.

**USER BLOCKED**

I sigh loudly as I lock my phone as place it down on the bedside table. I can't believe my mom would pull a stunt like this. On today of all days. Does she really think talking smack like that online is going to help their cause on our facetime today? I wonder if dad knows about this shit? Would he really just sit back with a whiskey in hand and let her run wild and free? If he's really expecting or hoping for forgiveness then surely he wouldn't be okay with this?

I shake my head forcing these thoughts free, I knew I should have ignored all this shit. Without realising I've let myself get my hopes up.

With my legs dangling over the side of the bed I mutter a reminder. Don't let them back in, Sky. They aren't worth it and you have to protect yourself, your husband and your babies.

After a few moments of staring at my swollen ankles in my fluffy socks, I call for Bryan. There is not a chance in hell I am going to be able to put my slippers on.

'Yes, love?' he walks into the room with a loving smile on his face as his eyes flick between me and my slippers. 'Need some help?' he chuckles pointing at my slippers. With a shy nod, he slips to the floor, rubbing each of my feet before gliding them into the slippers.

'You ready for this?' I push up from the bed using his arm for support as she leaves the room. Walking at a slow waddle, I know he wants to pick me up but refrains. His twitching fingers fidget in my hold.

'Yeah, I just want to get it over with.' Once downstairs Bryan helps me get comfortable on the oversized love seat, pillows moulded around my back and sides giving me a reprieve from the pregnancy aches and pains.

When Bryan sits down beside me with the laptop arranged on a fold-out table across his lap I reach across and take his hands in mine.

'Promise me that no matter what they say you will stay and look at me the same.' I plead, laying all my cards on the table. I might be needy at times but one thing I can always count on is his ability to calm and reassure me.

'Nothing is going to change, love. You will always be my precious, bratty, kitten.' he promises, pressing a kiss to my temple before joining the call with my folks.

Time for the real drama and toxicity to begin. I only hope we all can leave this call and leave the pad in the past I don't want any of this to hang over our futures.

Happy Fri-YAY everyone.

I hope you've had a great week and are ready for the weekend.

The countdown to my birthday has officially begun, t-minus 3 ish weeks. Does anyone else have a birthday in October?

This is a really odd question but after watching an interview with Anna Kendrick its got me wondering... If you were a serial killed what would be your 'red flag'? Anna Kendricks was placing all her sunglasses in rows. One after the other in a straight line. All in in the same direction and position.
