Salt In My Wounds
Skye walked through General Hospital tranquil and collectively on a mission to find her father, she had tried the house but, Edward said he was here, she knocked on his office door but there was no response. Monica came walking down the hall and turned around when she seen Skye.
"Skye, can I help you with anything?"
"Have you seen Daddy?" Skye asked innocently
"He's in a meeting right now"
"Oh, do you know when he'll be out?"
Monica smiled, "Well, there's no certain time lengths on these things so it could be a while"
"Oh"
Monica knew that she and Skye never got along but, maybe she could at least try. "Is there anything I could assist you with?"
"Why would you want to help me? You hate me, you've hated me ever since I walked into your life"
"Skye, I don't hate you, it's just you have caused a lot of distress".
"And Jason hasn't?, He's a hitman and he's not even really your son but, you treat him like he is"
"I know that I've been a little unfair to you" Monica openedly admitted
"Okay, you want me to open up to you, to spill my guts in your lap so you can act like you care?"
"You don't give me a chance to care"
There was really no reason to argue, it wouldn't get them any where so she gave in, "Well, I'm giving you one now, do you want it or not?"
"Follow me" Monica instructed. She walked down the hall and turned a corner, opening the door marked Doctor Monica Quartermaine. She motioned for Skye to enter and went in behind her shutting the door.
"Have seat, can I get you anything?"
"No thank you" Skye implies
Monica sat down on the opposite end of the couch. "What's on your mind?"
"Would you like me to start from the beginning?"
"I think that would help"
"To make a long story short, Jason told me that Brenda Barrett was alive and Jax was spending time with her at the cottage. Jason helped me enlist Carly as an alliance and we found out things about both Jax and Brenda. Jax and I had this huge fight about her and I told him to leave and as he did he told me that I he should have known better not to get involved with a Quartermaine".
"Well, that certainly is a lot of information, Skye"
"There's more, a few nights ago I found myself in Luis Alcazar's hotel suite and then in his bed, I've been spending a lot of time with him in the past few days he comforts me and says all the right things but, I love Jax, I've never stopped loving him and now I think it's too late to fix things"
"Skye, are you sure that Jax wants to be with Brenda or did he only say that because you had a conflict?"
"Because that's how he really feels, she's the love of his life"
"How do you feel about Alcazar?"
"Well, he's very different from Jax, I don't love him but, I like being with him,it makes me feel better, I can't get enough of him and he makes all my agony go away"
"Skye, have you had any alcohol?"
"Not a drop"
"Do you realize what you're doing?"
"What?"
"I don't think you even have a strong liking for this guy and you're not with him for revenge".
"What are you getting to?"
"You're using Alcazar as your alcohol, he makes you feel superior, he makes all your pain and worries go away, he's your new addiction.
Skye fell silent, she held her head down as her eyes began to tear up. Monica looked over at Skye with concern, "Skye, are you alright?"
She looked up at Monica as tear after tear began to stream down her face uncontrollable. "I'm fine"
Monica did what any good mother would do, she moved closer to Skye, wrapping her left arm around her, Skye was hesitant at first but, much too upset to reject Monica's trying efforts so she lay her head against Monica's shoulder. She continued to sob as Monica did her best to comfort her, she wiped Skye's tears away and gently stroked her hair, before long, she became very quiet.
Monica looked down at Skye and discovered that she had fallen asleep. "Oh, Skye, I'm so sorry, for everything" Monica declared more to herself than anyone. Alan opened the door and walked in, "Monica" he called. He then froze in shocked at the very sight before him. His wife was holding his daughter, something he could have only dreamed of happening.
"Shhh, Skye's asleep". Monica responded in a soft voice
Alan was still in an utter state of confusion, "Monica, what's going on?"
"Skye had a little problem so we were trying to work it out"
"Um, hmm, and when did you and Skye become allies?"
"Alan, would you just appreciate the moment?"
"Is she alright?" Alan voiced, concerned
"Physically she's fine"
Skye's eyes began to open, "Daddy" she whispered
Alan moved towards her, "I'm right here, beautiful".
"Skye, do you want to stay with us tonight?" Monica asked
"No, I'm going to go home and take a nice hot bath".
"I'll walk you out" Alan offered.
"We'll walk you out" Monica corrected.
Alan smiled, at that moment in time they were close to being a real family.
Perhaps one day they would be.
After her enlightening chat with Monica, she decided to go home and try to figure things out. After a hot bath, Skye walked through the lakehouse and sat down on the living room sofa, preparing to indulge herself in a book, but suddenly the door flung open and in she came. Brenda.
"Brenda, I've been wondering when you would make an appearance".
"Well, now I guess you can stop wondering" Brenda shut the door behind her and walked over to the chair, making her self comfortable.
"Well, what can I do for you? You already have my husband what more could you possible want?" Skye asked sugar coated
"I've seen you with Luis"
Skye sat back on the couch and surveyed the room, "What does that have to do with you, you have Jax"
"But, Luis and I love each other and you're destroying our relationship"
Skye chuckled, "Maybe that's because you don't have one, with Luis anyway"
"You man stealing, manipulative whore"
Skye frowned, "Such harsh words, Ms. Barrett"
"What did Jax ever see in you?"
"What the hell did he ever see in you?" Skye challenged
"I'm the love of his life"
"Really? Wow! Good for you, you must feel so special". Skye's voice was filled with sarcasm.
"You're just jealous"
"Jealous of what?, Of you?" Skye laughed
"Yes"
"Let's see, you're a hopeless no, useless home-wrecking whore, your hair looks like a mop, your clothes are an utter fashion disaster and Oh, yeah, you need to stop shopping for underwear in the little boys department".
"Do you get pleasure out of insulting me?"
"Don't flatter yourself, I insult pretty much everyone"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm sure I can find a few more"
"You know what, you're very charming"
"Thank you"
"But, you're second best"
"Well, Luis is in my bed, not yours" Skye shot back.
"You know what Skye, you're the whore"
"Well, that may be what you think, but I have more class, more elegance, more sophistication and more money than you'll ever have".
"But, you'll never have Jax".
Her words wound but Skye didn't show it, "Did I say I wanted him?"
"Who do you want? Luis?"
"Perhaps" Skye stated simply
"Well, that's not going to happen"
"Oh, It's not?"
"No, he loves me, he's just using you".
Skye noticed that Brenda's voice was child like and fearful of losing this guy that she was so in love with, "Could be he was just using you"
Brenda fell silent, silent enough to give Skye information she knew she could use to her advantage, "What's the matter Brenda?, Afraid he doesn't love you?"
"I know Luis loves me, I've spent the last four years with him."
"Duration doesn't mean anything, Brenda, four years or four months, how can you be really sure that he ever loved you?"
"How do you know that Jax ever really loved you?"
"Simple, he told me he did"
"Words don't mean anything"
"Actions speak louder than words and in Jax case, he was practically screaming he loved me that is prior to your return".
"So what is your scheme Skye?, To get even with me? To get even at Jax for leaving you, when you know all along that his heart had always belonged to me and that you were only fighting a ghost that you could never defeat. You should have known that if I ever came walking back into Jax's life that he would choose me over you in a heartbeat".
"You know what? I like your motive, so I'm going to use it"
"What are you talking about?"
"I knew all long that Jax loved you, that if he ever got a second chance, that he would fly back into your arms and I'd be left all alone, the only thing I could turn to would be alcohol and slowly I would drink myself into the pathetic human being everyone claims I am but, I decided I didn't like that strategy, instead I thought it would be best if I had a soared affair with some else".
"Luis"
"You know, Brenda, I thought I would just use Luis and toss him aside like I have done so many other men in my life but, I've come to the conclusion that I like him, he's handsome, charming, powerful and intensely good in bed".
"How dare you"
"Why Brenda? What are you going to do about it? Tell Jax so he can come running to your salvation?"
"You bitch"
"Well, yeah, but I get it honest"
Brenda didn't think she could stand this anymore, Skye was getting the best of her, "I don't have to take this from you, I'm leaving"
"Don't be shy, Darling, drop by again anytime"
Brenda rolled her eyes at Skye and walked out the lakehouse doors.
"Well, that was easy enough" Skye said to herself.
