Forbidden Sins

Cant Be Good For Long

The next week was all about recovery and rest. Brian knew Skylar was going insane not doing anything. The girl that worked two jobs and went to school working on her degree was now completely bored but it was doctors orders for her to take it easy.

It was his first day back to work since Skylar's attack and he was on edge all day while he was on set. He called and checked on her a few times but could sense by her tone that she was getting annoyed with him treating her like a child. He thought about the past week. They had taken advantage of the nice weather and taken some walks down the beach. Spring was on its way and Brian couldn't wait to get his bike out of the garage and take Skylar on the back of it. He never had the opportunity to do it before winter hit and he knew she would just love it. That's if her brain healed by then he thought sadly.

It was still difficult trying to interact with her having no memory of him. He would catch himself asking her a question or saying a joke he thought she would get but then remember chances are she wouldn't understand a reference and have no clue what he was talking about.

The crew were all equally concerned for Skylar and all throughout the day would express their love for her to Brian and asking about her. He knew everyone was being nice but hearing about it only reminded him of the whole situation. Thankfully they got some good material for the day and wrapped around 4. Brian was the first one to leave, basically running to his car. He called Skylar a few times on his drive home but there was no answer, he hoped she took his advice and was napping. He decided to just order a pizza for dinner instead of figuring out something to cook. With all the fussing over Skylar he didn't have much time for food shopping.

Skylar heard the front door open followed by Brian calling out to her. She stumbled as she got up from the couch. "Hi ya!" She slurred.

"Skylar?" Brian questioned taking a step back in confusion. "Have you been drinking?"

"Maybe a little." She said with a hiccup and then held up an empty bottle of Jameson Brian had in the house.

"Skylar, you're not supposed to be drinking right now. Your brain is still..."

"Healing?!" She spat, "Yeah that's all I've been hearing for over a week. Clearly it's not healing fast enough or I would start fucking remembering things!"

Brian could see the frustration and anger in her eyes. "Doctor said it will take time babe."

"Yeah well time is something I ran out of." She responded.

"What are you talking about?" He questioned.

"School! I've missed too much, I had to withdraw today." She said tears filling her eyes.

"You dropped out of school? Skylar, why?" He asked.

"I'm too far behind and I don't even remember anything from the past couple years to even graduate. All that fucking work for nothing!" She screamed. "I hate this, I hate this so fucking much!"

Brian immediately pulled her into his chest. "No go away!" She yelled balling up her fists and hitting his chest over and over again. "Everything is ruined."

"Shhh shhh..."Brian just kept saying over and over again. "Baby it's gonna be okay." He kept trying to reassure her as she cried.

"No, no it won't." She said shaking her head violently. "This fucking guy took my life away from me." She was crying hysterically into Brian's shirt and at this point he couldn't even understand what she was saying anymore. He managed to sit her back on the couch and pulled her close. For awhile he didn't say anything, he just rocked her slowly hoping she calmed down.

"Baby it's gonna be okay, I promise." He finally spoke softly.

She sniffled into his chest, tears still falling. "I just feel like I lost all this time. Like now I have to start over. I was so close to graduating."
