The Right Kind of Wrong

Part 12

It was a quiet ride home. I walked inside the house and headed upstairs to my room.

"I'm sorry." Sebastian said softly.
I stopped in the middle of the stairs for a moment and continued to my room. I wasn't sure if i was mad at him or not. I just knew that I wanted to be alone.

The next morning I woke up and went straight into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. I was standing at the counter when Sebastian walked in and walked up to me.
"Morning. I'm sorry you're mad at me." He said softly.
"Sebastian, I'm not mad at you. Im mad at the situation, yes, but you in general, no. You were standing up for me. I just wish it didn't happen. That's all. I'm more hurt by my brother." I said turning to him.
"I know. But as crazy as it is now, he'll come around." Sebastian said.
"That's the thing, Sebastian, he shouldn't have to. I'm a grown woman. You've been telling me that." I said.
"Yes and I understand. But he's your brother. He loves you."
"Well, I'm sure he does but my brother really hurt my feelings." I said getting closer to Sebastian. I leaned in to give him a kiss.
"Are you sure you want to do this? He could see." Sebastian asked.
Just then Ben walked into the kitchen.
"Of course. He knows now. And if being with you makes me a whore, then I guess I am one." I said as I leaned in and kissed him and then left the kitchen. Ben seen it but I didn't care. I said what I said to show him that I'm not going to stop my own life. I really cared about Sebastian. He made me happy.

It's been a couple of weeks since Jack and Theresa's wedding and the whole fiasco that went along that night.
It has been a little tense in the house. Me and Sebastian were open about our relationship now.

I was sitting in my room when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"It's Ben.... Can we talk?" He asked sincerely.
"Are you just going to call me a whore again?" I asked in irritation.
"Erin, please. Let me in."
I sighed and got up and let him in. He closed the door behind him.
"What do you want?" I asked frustrated. Sitting back on my bed.
"I want to talk about what happened a couple of weeks ago." Ben replied.
"What about it?"
Ben was silent for a couple of seconds.
"Erin, I want to apologize to you...For saying what I said to you." Ben explained.
I huffed and crossed my arms.
"What?" Ben asked
"Ben, you really hurt my feelings... In front of everyone. You've never called me that before." I said hurt.
"I know. And that's why I'm apologizing. I shouldn't have lashed out like that but I've seen you get hurt before and as your big brother, I feel as if I need to protect you." Ben explained his feelings.
"Ben, I get it. I really do. But I'm also an adult and I need to live and learn life for myself. And for once since mom and dad passed...I'm happy." I said choking on my words.
" I know. And I've noticed that you have. And I know it's because of Sebastian."
I smiled at him.
"I still don't agree with it personally or accepting the fact that he moved in on my little sister." Ben added.
"I technically made the first move." I said
"Erin, I really don't care." Ben said covering his ears. I let out a little laugh.
"I still have a little feeling of disapproval towards Sebastian...but I can let it slide for the sake of mine and my little sisters relationship... by the way, you are the only family I got." He said walking closer to me. I smiled at him and we gave each other a hug.
"Thanks for apologizing... and I'm sorry we snuck around." I said as we released.
"Look, it is what it is now.... But I'm still keeping an eye on him." Ben said. I rolled my eyes.
