His angel

14.

I woke up way too early due to going to sleep at 7pm, so I tiptoed downstairs to get something to eat. Sebastian was still sleeping on the couch, so I made a mental note to tell Adam to free the bedroom upstairs today. Claire and Lizzie are going to move to his room, so Adam can be in the guest room now.

"Why are you staring at me?" I jumped in surprise. I didn't even know I was staring.

I blushed and stuttered. "I-I was just coming down to eat something a-and I got distracted."

"How are you feeling, angel?" He said, while sitting up, still wrapped in a blanket. It was cute.

"Better, but I can't wrap my head around the fact that he is really gone." I said, sadly, while grabbing some fruit.

"Come here." He smiled at me.

I sat beside him, and he hugged my shoulder, wrapping me in the blanket with him. I giggled when he leaned his head on my shoulder and his hair tickled my neck. I relaxed in his embrace and felt warm inside.

"Do you want to stay home today? I mean, will it be too much if you go to school after what happened just yesterday?" He asked with his sleepy voice that made me calm.

"I will be okay as long as you are beside me." I whispered.

He planted a small kiss on my neck that sent shivers down my spine and I bet he noticed, because he did it a few more times. He had to stop when we heard my brother coming down the stairs.

I looked up at him and smiled when I saw Lizzie in his arms, hugging his neck. She already loves him. I think she is why Adam is taking our dad's death so well, she makes him strong.

"Good morning lovebirds." Adam sang from the kitchen, smirking at us. I blushed and shook my head playfully, and I heard Sebastian laughing beside me.

"Good morning. How were you sleeping?" I asked, walking towards them to hug them.

Lizzie jumped in my arms and lazily hugged my neck. I guess she is not a morning person. "Not so good. I couldn't stop thinking about how I haven't seen dad or talked to him for almost a month, and now it's too late. I just wish he was here when I came to visit." He admitted sadly.

I put my hand on his shoulder, so he would believe what I said next. "Dad was always like that, Adam, we couldn't know what was going to happen. Hell, I spoke 3 sentences with him this month, and I was living here with him. Don't blame yourself, okay?"

He nodded and took Lizzie to feed her. I saw I only had half an hour until I had to go to school, so I hurried to my room and got ready. This was going to be a hard day.

"Ready to go?" Sebastian said, standing in my doorway.

I looked at him questioningly. "You are going to walk with me?"

He knows I won't drive there if it's sunny outside. Would he really go with me?

"Obviously." I smiled and we went out.

We arrived at school just as the bell rang. His hand sneaked around my waist when he saw me become nervous. We entered the classroom and everyone got quiet and looked at us, Courtney was glaring at me the whole time as we were going to the back, sitting down.

"That was awkward. I thought Courtney would kill me with her look." I commented, looking at Sebastian.

He laughed and shook his head. "I get this look from her all the time when she is jealous. She honestly scares me sometimes."

"Did you ever go out with her?" I was curious, I wanted to know. It was weird to think so many girls are all over him, and he never dated one of them.

"With Courtney, the she-devil? Never. I told you I don't like when girls throw themselves at me like they are just a piece of meat. I like a girl who doesn't just go with everyone. A nice girl. Like you. " I blushed and turned around, so he wouldn't see. "I like making you blush, angel." He whispered in my ear.

After two tiring hours of history, we went to the cafeteria. "Fuck, I forgot my lunch." complained. But then Sebastian took it out of his bag, setting it before me.

"I saw you didn't take it, so I did. Thank me later." He laughed at my pouting face.

"Thank you." I smiled at him, and then I saw Sarah walking toward us. There goes the big mouth.

"What are you doing here with my best friend, if I may ask?" She asked Sebastian, looking at him questioningly.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Eating lunch. " He answered her sarcastically. I had to hold my laugh in.

"Are you two together now?"

I got nervous at the question, we haven't actually talked about that yet. I don't even know what we are. But Sebastian seemed relaxed as he said, "Not yet, but I hope we will."

"Do you like her? Don't you dare hurt her."

"Yes, I do like her. I don't mean to hurt her, I will respect her decisions, I will not force her into anything she doesn't want, and I will spoil her all the time. Any other question I haven't answered yet, your honor?" I awed at his words.

She smiled widely and said, "I approve of your relationship. Case closed." We all laughed and started talking about Sarah and me, our stories, basically just telling Sebastian everything he wanted to know.

"I want to know what is so funny!" I looked up at the person who was speaking and saw it was Sam, pouting because he wants to know what we are speaking about.

Sarah patted the seat next to him, so he could sit down, and we told him about the time when Sarah got stuck on a tree with a cat she was scared of.

After school, Sam and Sebastian had basketball practice, and they insisted we come watch. We sat right in front of the court and watched as they played. I caught Sarah looking at Sam a lot, so much it actually creeped me out.

Later at home, we helped Adam move Clair's things to his room, and tidy up the room, so Sebastian could sleep there. His room was right next to mine, and we shared a balcony. I never really used it, but now that he would be there, I would probably join him.

It was getting dark outside, and we were sitting out here, looking at the moon and some brighter stars. The slight breeze made me shiver a little, so Sebastian came closer to me, and we cuddled under the night sky.

The day really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sebastian made sure that I was always occupied with something, so I wouldn't think of my dad as much, and it helped. I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for him to help me get through this.
