"It's not too late to mend things" she said softly. "Just remember to treat each time you see them as the last you ever will, the way you think might change if you do"

*Sky sits down, feeling suddenly weary.* "I just.. it's just that, they don't know... why.. and I can't tell them." *Swallows as a feeling of panic rises within him.*

"At least come out of here and talk to them a little" she said softly sitting beside him

*He looks at Heather and swallows.* "Would you mind if I had them come in here and I talk to them... alone?" *Bites his lower lip, hoping she doesn't take what he just said the wrong way.*

"No, I wouldn't mind a bit, they are your parents"

"Thank you." *Carresses her cheek as he looks in her eyes.* "I hope you know how much you mean to me."
*He closes his eyes and his heart beats fast as he hopes she doesn't pull away from him while he leans in to kiss her on the lips.*

Part of Heather wanted to stay there and kiss him, but she couldn't, not yet. She moved away from him and then without giving him any chance to respond she jumped up and left the room, not letting herself even glance back at him. ::Good job.......you probably made him mad or something now........:: She force a slight smile as she joined the others.

*Sighs as his shoulders slump.* ::You're pushing to fast, idiot! Go slow with her.::
*He gets up and follows her out, stopping at the threshold of the door. Leaning against the frame, he rubs his fingers through his hair.* "I'm sorry how I acted, everyone."
*He swallows, looking over at his parents.* "May we speak alone, please?"
*When she sees Heather come out, Mrs. Vortex looked past her with hope in her eyes. When he comes out and asks them to speak with him alone, she looks to her husband.*
*Denis squeezes his wife's hand reassuringly.* "Of course, son."
*He rises, and puts his hand out for Kyora to take it. When she does, he helps her up and kisses her hand before leading her to the room.*
*Closes the door behind him after giving a reassuring smile to both Heather and Colleen.*

Heather silently glanced around the room, her eyes rested on Alexis for a few seconds but she quickly looked away not wanting to make the girl uncomfortable.

*Alexis didn't even notice Heather look at her. All her attention was on the closed door.* ::Why do Skyler and his parents feel so familiar to me?::
*Colleen gets up and smiles at Heather.* "Thank you."
~~Inside the room~~
*Stands near the door, feeling awkward.* "I am very sorry for what I said out there... I..." *He's interrupted by his mother coming to hug him.*
*She couldn't help it. She had longed to hold Skyler ever since that day she and her husband had told him that he was no longer welcome at home.*
"Mom." *Sky embraces her and feels her shoulders shake and knows she is crying.*
"Please..." *Tries not to cry himself.* "... don't cry, Mom! I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused!" *Tears come streaming down his face in spite of his efforts to stop them.*
*Denis comes and puts an arm around Kyora, and places a hand on his son's shoulder.* "We still don't understand what went wrong, son. But, we love you. We never stopped loving you!"

Heather blushed slightly and shrugged at Colleen's thank you "I didn't do anything" she said softly.

"You were there for him." *Colleen replied.* "That was exactly what was needed."
~~~Inside the dressing room~~~
"I love you, too. Both of you." *Sky inhales then exhales shakily, then asks about his brother and sister.* "How are Trey and Shala?"
"Growing like weeds in the field."
*Eager to learn what was going on with the rest of the family, he asks after them.*
"Your cousin Veryl was arrested."
*The mention of his cousin froze his blood. He forced his voice to remain neutral.* "Oh? What are the charges?"
*Denis informs him what the charges were with an incredulous voice.* "Can you believe it?"
*Sky's eyes hardened, his voice cold.* "I can believe it."

"Yeah..." she glanced around then looked at Colleen "How did you meet Skyler?"

*Colleen chuckles as she remembers eight years back.* "It was actually in a smaller venue than here, but, I was here on Naboo giving a concert. Sky snuck backstage disguised as an employee of the establishment I was playing in. I was onstage, and he wound up in my dressing room. In it, I had a guitar that was broken, so I didn't use it. Well, he fixed it, and was testing it out quietly at the same time I finished the last set and came to the dressing room."
*She laughs.* "I don't know who was more surprised when I walked in on Sky, myself or him."
~~Back in the current dressing room~~
*Frowns.* "What do you mean, son?"
*Skyler turns away from his parents. He couldn't see the looks on their faces as he spoke to them about what had occurred back when they were on their second honeymoon. When he was finished, he stood there looking down at the floor, his fists clenched at his side.* "And I couldn't tell you because he threatened to tie me up and make me watch him kill Trey and Shayla, and then kill the two of you when you got home."
*He was shaking with suppressed rage.*
*A pregnant silence filled the room, then Kyora went to hug her son from behind.* "Oh, Sky! I'm so sorry. We failed you so much!"
*Turns around and returns his mother's embrace.* "You didn't know. There's no way you could. And I couldn't tell you. It was me who failed... I don't know what happened after that. It was like I was so angry inside... and had to lash out."

Heather laughed "So you've known him for a long time then, eh?"
