The week went by pretty much the same. Walking to school with Sebastian, suffering for the time of the class, watching the boys' practice with Sarah and going home, where I would overthink and cry with Sebastian trying to soothe me by watching comedies with me.

On Wednesday we had a small funeral for my dad, just around 10 people and if it wasn't for Sebastian and Sarah, I would not survive it.

It's Friday today, and I promised Adam and Claire I would watch Lizzie while they went on a date. So here I am, sitting on the couch watching The Little mermaid.

I heard the door open and close and then Sebastian came into the living room, "Hey my gorgeous angel. Hey Lizzie."

"Hey handsome." I laughed when he raised an eyebrow at me.

Lizzie was so lost in her movie, she didn't even acknowledge him and kept watching. He sat down next to me and I immediately leaned my head on his shoulder. He put his arm around me and drew small shapes onto my hand, tickling me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked quietly.

I looked up at him, and he had this caring look that made me calm and relaxed. "I'm okay. It was a hard week, but it's better now."

"I want to take you out again. Tomorrow maybe?"

"I would love to go, Sebastian, but I have to do this presentation for History and study for a biology test. Next weekend?" I smiled apologetically at him.

He thought for a moment. "Let's study together. I know biology well, so I can help you."

I smiled at him. "Deal."

He kissed my cheek and I quickly turned my face to the TV, so he couldn't see me blush.

These small cheek or head kisses have been a habit of his for a while now. I don't think he even knows he is doing it so much, it's just subconsciously.

Lizzie fell asleep on the couch, so Sebastian carried her upstairs to her bed that we brought down from the attic. He yelled he is going to shower and that I can choose a movie for us to watch later. I decided to walk to Bacon quickly before it was going to get dark.

I walked around the neighborhood for a while and thought about all the good things that happened in the last few years, so I wouldn't focus on the bad things. I realized that far the best thing was getting to be around Sebastian, he was my light right now.

"Julia, hey!" I heard someone yell behind me. I turned around and saw the one person I hated the most, my ex-boyfriend. I think I almost fainted when he walked closer to me and hugged me. I was speechless and was just staring at him. "I saw you walking and thought I would say hello. How have you been?"

"Really, Jacob? You really have some fucking nerve. You break up with me over text, block my number and all social media, and leave god knows where. And you expect me to just chat with you now?"

"Come on, baby, don't be so hard on me. You would do the same if you were in my shoes." Did he even know me?

"Don't you ever call me baby again. And if you think I am anything like you, you are mistaken." I turned around and started walking away from him, back home, but he followed me, begging me to talk to him.

I arrived in front of the house with Jacob still behind me. I sighed and turned to him. "Can you stop following me? I'm going inside, and I don't want to see you or hear from you again. Am I understood?"

"When did you get a new dog?" He continued to bother me with questions. He kneeled down to pet Bacon, but he barked at him and I thought, good boy.

"None of your business. Now go away." I said and was going to turn around again, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. I hissed at the sudden pain in my wrist, when he twisted it to get me to stop moving away.

I heard the door of the house open but couldn't turn around. "She told you to go away. I suggest you listen to her before I get mad." I hear Sebastian say with a low voice. Standing right behind me.

"You got a new boyfriend, huh? Do you do it with him? How is he better than me, tell me!" He almost yelled, and Sebastian pulled me to him when Jacob lowered his hand from mine.

I felt Sebastian didn't have a shirt on, only some sweatpants, and I wanted to look at him. Did his body look as good as his face does? Well yeah, probably, he always works out, and he is one of the top basketball players in the area. I shook my head and came back to reality.

"My life is none of your business. You broke up with me, now stay away from me like you did until now." I said back to him and went inside, Sebastian right behind me.

I sat on the couch looking at the wall, thoughts running through my mind like crazy. I barely even heard Sebastian say, "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine. I just... I don't know." My head fell to his shoulder and I closed my eyes. He felt me tremble, so he hugged me tightly and let me calm down.

I felt myself being lifted, Sebastian took me upstairs to my bed. He laid me down and gently kissed the top of my head. He sat down on the bed beside me and brushed through my hair with his fingers. I started to get sleepy.

"Good night, angel." He turned to walk out, but I quickly took a hold of his hand.

"Can you stay with me tonight? Please?" I begged him, tears filling my eyes.

I'm not heartbroken any more by what Jacob did to me, but it hurt when he didn't even apologize or anything. He just acted as if nothing ever happened, thinking he could walk in my life again.".

"Of course." He smiled and laid beside me, wrapping his hand around my waist, to pull me closer to him.

"We dated a little more than a year ago. It was nice at first, but then he wanted more, and I wasn't ready. One day, out of nowhere he sent me a text saying 'sorry, I'm breaking up with you.', and he disappeared. I haven't heard from him or seen him until today. I didn't expect it, Fortunately you were here." I said, looking at the ceiling, tears falling down my cheeks.

"He is an idiot, Julia. He's not worth your tears, he should be the one crying when he saw what he let go. You are gorgeous, funny, smart, don't let him get to you." Sebastian whispered and brushed my tears away. I turned to him, looking at his calming face. I saw in his eyes he meant every word he said.

"Thank you, Sebastian." I leaned in and gently kissed him on his soft lips. When I pulled away, he pulled me back by my neck and slammed his lips on mine. The kiss was slow and soft, yet it ignited so many feelings in me. He gently bit on my lip and pulled away, smiling at me and I couldn't help but smile back.
