Forbidden By All

The Talk

The room grew silent. The amount of tension that filled room, and the seemingly thick air could be cut with a knife. Bri looked around to see the expression of her sister and Josh. She was clueless as to what to do about her problem with Bryan, hell, nobody really knew what to do about it. Regardless, it was going to be messy. Somehow someway, Bri needed to get away from Bryan, she needed a divorce. The level of freedom that she would feel if she just got the opportunity to get away from him would be astronomical. "So you guys think it'll be that easy?" Bri tapped her fingers on the table and looked at her sister.

"Honestly Bri? No, it won't be easy at all. There isn't a thing about this that is gonna be super easy. Bryan has become a self centered, imposing little hairy man. I don't know how he would take it if you told him you wanted a divorce..I just remember that one time..with the weight.." Nikki looked down and shook her head, recalling the story when Bryan threw a heavy paper weight at her sister, she balled her fist up even at the thought of someone hurting her sister like that. Josh kept his hands to himself in his lap, he was very uncomfortable discussing this, due to him not having all of the details of what was going on behind closed doors.

Bri shook her head, she knew that this was going to be impossible to get out of pain free. She knew that telling someone who was as angry, and spastic as Bryan that they wanted a divorce? He would lose his mind. There's no way that he would be able to take the news without freaking out on her and potentially trying to hurt her, badly. "I don't know what to do, Nikki. I really don't...I'm scared of what will happen when I do tell him.." She spoke softly and looked down, sighing deeply as she did.

Josh had so many words that would be able to describe how Bryan made him feel. To be honest none of the words were appropriate enough for her to say out loud. Ranging from scumbag, to piece of shit, Josh thought all of those things and tried his hardest to make sure that he didn't say them. To clarify, Josh bit his tongue to ensure that this didn't turn into just a swear off or a bash fest of Bryan. They needed to collectively figure out what they would be able to do, and how to move forward from this. He wanted so badly to just reach over and grab Bri's hand, just to hold it and make her aware that this was all going to be okay..All the nightmares were going to end soon.

"Bri, I think you need to tell us what exactly happened..at least a good portion of things that had happened.." Nikki was tired of guessing and assuming. She wanted to know what was really going on and some things that had happened. Nikki wasn't the type of person who wanted to know many details when it came to stuff like this. She would rather leave the past where the past was, and move forward with life. But this was different, this was her twin sister, this was the woman who was the only one there for her at one point, this was the only person who held her hair back when she got sick, this was unacceptable.

"Bryan..used a lot of words..A lot of different times. He used to be just calm when he spoke down to me, never really yelling at me over it..But eventually? It got really, really bad..H-he started to grab me by my arm so tight it would bruise...um..during sex.." Bri glanced over at Josh, whom did NOT want to know any details about that disgusting pig having sex with such an angel like Bri, but he still nodded letting her know it was okay to go forward with telling what happened. "He used to hit me, and when I said to stop, or go easy he wouldn't listen..I-I can't keep talking about this, Nikki I really, really can't.." She teared up almost immediately, the memories were digging into her brain like a thousand razor blades, the feeling of these memories lingering in her mind was making her almost get sick.

Nikki quickly shook her head as she saw the tears filling her twin's eyes. She reached over and grabbed her hand and placed it in both of hers. "Hey, hey hey...Bri, don't cry. Please? I'm right here. I will never let him touch you again, if he gets within like a mile of you I will literally tear his heart out." Nikki rubbed her sister's hand with her thumb gently as she tried to resist the urge to cry. She hated the fact that her sister was in such pain, she hated that this was happening to her and would do anything in the world to make sure that it didn't happen.
