Avoid Fighting
A week had passed and Sebastian have been clinging on to me, he leaves at times but he tells me where he goes.
He's been very honest with me, or so I thought.
'Hey Kristen. You need help with that?" Mike asks
'It's fine, I'll call Sebastian to help me with it"
'Okay then, we'll go now" he says and they leave
'Darius is there already. Are you sure you'd be alright?" Abby asks
'Yes, I'm going to call Sebastian to pick me up" I say and she nods then leaves.
I fish out my phone and Called Sebastian. He didn't answer, don't tell me he's at it again.
I called again. Five times but still nothing. I sighed, I'll let this slide. So, I called, Kyle. He picked up on the first ring.
'Kyle, can you pick me up?" I ask
'Of course. I'll be there in a sec" he says and hung up, not long after he was now here. I smiled.
'Thank you, you're a life saver" I tell him
'Of course, I always make time for you" He says as he helps me with some boxes
When we got in the car, I thanked him and he said no problem. Then he drove me home.
'Thank you for again Kyle" I say
He chuckled 'Anytime." And closes the back
I look over at my house and there he was, Sebastian standing irritated.
'You don't need help with those?" Kyle asks
I shake my head 'It's fine. You can go now. Bye Kyle" I say, he nods and got to his car and left.
I turn around, and Sebastian was striding towards me. He just walked past me and carried some of the boxes and I carried one.
When we got inside, he put down the boxes. I don't know what to say, I don't want us to fight again. If I tell him, I called him first, he would just tell me I didn't.
'Kyle was going home and he found me, so I asked him for a ride. My phone died. I'm sorry" I say
He didn't talk just stared at me. In my mind, I shouldn't say sorry. He's supposed to be sorry. I called him. He said he would pick up. He promised everything would change but I guess it's all just in the beginning.
'Do you want ice cream?" he asks, I was stunned that he brushed it off. Maybe he didn't want to start a fight either.
'Vanilla" I tell him and he walked towards the fridge and prepared two bowls of Vanilla ice cream.
'So, where were you today?" I ask
'I was at home, just at home" he says
'Your dad seems like a nice guy?"
'He was. But he still the reason I had to watch someone die" he says and my chest tightens, I shouldn't have started this conversation
'I'm sorry. I forgot" I say
'Stop apologizing." He says and I tilted my head, I know he was hiding something from me
'I knew you were at School. I should have come and not let you wait for me. I was even mad at myself that Kyle was there for you, that should be me" he says
I smiled 'It's fine. I am happy that we didn't fight today. We talked things out. I'm proud of us"
He looked at me and leans in to kiss my temples.
'It's getting late, maybe I should head home before Ian comes" he says and I chuckled
'Okay. See you tomorrow?" I say
'Tomorrow" he says and picks up his jacket and left.
I heard some rumors again today. But it's not true right? Darius would have told Abby and Abby would have told me.
But come to think of it, the last time he told me he loved me was weeks ago. He also changed and seemed like, he was not excited to see me as before. Maybe I'm just over thinking?
He promised me he would pick up my calls but then earlier he didn't. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was just at his house like he said.
I enter my room and scrolled through my social media. I click on the stories and my eyes caught something.
Bianca's insta story. ---a day well spent—she says and a chess board with someone, I recognize that hand. It's Sebastians, he has a tattoo on his index finger and the picture has the same.
He went there. He Lied to me again. I dropped my phone and hold onto my night stand, I accidentally pushed down the glass that was there.
I let myself fall down on the floor.
'How could he lie again" I ask myself
I stared at the broken glass and picked them up one by one. I didn't even realize my hand was bleeding.
'Jesus! What are you doing!" Ian shouted and I blinked my eyes a few times snapping from the daze I was in
'Oh, I uh accidentally drop the glass, I didn't notice I was----I'll just clean this up" I tell him and before he could stop me, I locked myself in the bathroom, washing my bloody hands while my tears begun to flow, funny how it started raining again. My fears, they are coming back slowly.
'Kristen, are you okay?" Ian asks as he knocks
I composed myself 'Uhm, yeah just---I'll just clean this up and I'll go down in a minute"
'Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs don't be long" he says
I tend my hand and wash my face. I hope Ian doesn't notice how puffy my eyes are.
'What's for dinner?" I asked as cheerful as I can
'Come on Kitty, you don't need to pretend"
'Kitty? That's new?" I chuckled
'Okay then, If you don't want to talk about it then fine. Just eat" he says and I ignore him again
I put food in my mouth 'Mmmm, this is good. Who's recipe's is this?" I ask
'A colleague" he says and I raise my eyebrow
'I haven't seen you at school lately, where is this job you're talking about?" I ask
'Still at school but different kind of job. I was move since, your adviser came back already" he says
I narrowed my eyes 'Hmmmm, I find this colleague of yours suspicious"
He chuckled 'She's Miss Gray"
'Ohhh I know her, she's my professor from history class. She's a good match for you" I say
'I'm not trying anything. She's very kind"
'Okay, if you say so" I tease
'Kitty stop it"
'You know, I remember now, your dad used to call me kitty. Did he tell you that?"
'Yes. Our dad, spent the whole day just talking about you. He never gets tired" he says
'Good for him then, well anyway, I'm going to bed" I tell him
'You know you should give him a chance, the old man loves you"
'I love you too Ian, goodnight" I say and went to my room.
The broken glass was nowhere to be seen. It's like nothing happened.
I pick up my phone and as if on queue, Sebastian called. I hesitated to answer but I still did.
'Hey" I answer
'Are you going to bed already?" he asks
'Uhm yeah, I was. Anything wrong?" I ask
'Dad called and he asked me to go home for dinner. I was wondering if you would come with me?" he asks
'Are you it would be okay?"
'I would love to have you there" He says
'Okay then. What should I wear for tomorrow's dinner?"
'I'll send you a dress for you to wear, don't worry about it" he says
'Okay. Then see you tomorrow night?"
He groaned and I chuckled.
'Why can't we see each other, in the morning?" he says
''Cause, I want to prepare myself. This is the first official time, I'll meet your father"
'He saw you in your tired state. I don't think he still would mind"
'Still" I say laughing
'Fine"
'Good Night Sebastian" I say
'Good Night Kitten"
'Wait wait, kitten? What's with people calling me a cat today?"
'Who else calls you that?" he asks a little angry and I chuckled
'My brother, he called me kitty"
'Oh, your name sounds a like a cat so yeah, it matches. And you also clings a lot"
'Hey!" I shout through the phone
'You're going to ruin my hearing." He laughs. 'We need to sleep now"
'Okay" I sighed 'I guess this is really good night"
'Yeah, goodnight" he says and I hung up
I hug my phone to my chest. I literally forgot, he lied to me again.
I close my eyes and a smile slipped my mouth. Not long after sleep consumed me.
