Saving The Sun

Drunk

Toby's pov...

I didn't understand it at all. She was fine one second, but the next... she was crashing around the room yelling profanities at our guests. Wine glass one tight squeeze from being crushed in her hand, and the other hand was balled in a fist.

"Toby... get a handle on this." Kathryn begged me as I took in the scene.

"I- I don't know what to do. She- she's never done this before." I stumbled.

"Well she's gonna hurt herself if you don't do something now." Kathryn warned. Then...

"FUCK!" Followed the sound of glass shattering and hitting the floor.

"Fuck." I mumbled standing up.

-----Two Days Before the Wedding-----

"Gosh, I can't believe it." She said in awe. "My big brother is finally getting married."

"Yeah. Two days, and Kathryn will be my wife. My whole world."

"Isn't she already?" Tobi asked looking at me. I noticed a bit of hurt in her eyes, but she pushed it further back.

"Tobi, you know that no matter what, you'll always be my baby sister. I'm always going to care about you, and I'm always going to be there for you." I assured her. The pain disappeared slightly, but was still there. "When fate decides it's time the two of you get married, then that's when it'll happen. Everything happens for a reason."

"What kinda reason is this?"

"Well, whatever it is... it has to do with you. Otherwise it would've been you who lost your memory. Cybil had everything planned out. She was gonna marry you. She loved you. Loves you. She wanted you happy, she wanted to be the reason you were happy."

"But I'm not happy. I want my Cybil back. I can't survive any longer with out her. She is my Sun, and I'm losing her. Now you're telling me that it's my fault."

"I did not say that. I'm saying that fate is putting you two on hold so you could realize something. That's for you to figure out."

"But I don't know what it is. I can't figure it out. I think about it every damn day, Toby. I think about what I need to do. What about me do I need to change. Tell me. Tell me! Because you know I'd do it just so I could be with her. I love her. I'd do anything to have her in my life the way she used to be. I do anything to have my Cybil back. Not clueless Cybil. The Cybil who knew we'd be together... from the beginning. I want that Cybil. I want to be loved by her, I want her to remember us. I want her to still believe that we can be, even though I know that, that our love may never be again. I want her to just remember." She began to sob, and I wrapped my arms around her. She sobbed onto my shoulder as I rubbed her back for comfort. "Why? Why me? Why does this have to happen to me. I need her. God, I need her. She's my everything, and I knew she was the one. I was happy with her. I was always happy with her. I can change for her. I know I can, but what is it Toby. What do I need to change?"

"It's alright Tobi, but that's for you to figure out. Not me. In the meantime, I have a job for you. I'll even pay if you'd like." I said, changing the subject. I knew she needed that.

"I knew you were going to ask me to photograph the wedding." She chuckled. "You don't have to pay though. I'll do it for free. Think of it as my last wedding present."

"Is the other finished now?"

"Yeah, but you're not looking at it before the wedding. I'll give it to you when this is all over."

"Why?" I looked at her confused.

"Because. Cybil helped with a lot of it, and I want her to remember helping me with it. I want her to give it to you with me." She sniffled.
