Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Youre Not Coming

(Athena)

"So I told him that he'd have to earn my respect... and yours because your my boyfriend and he messed up."

Sebastian is steaming as he looks up from his book in the room of requirements. "He's barking mad is what he is, oh I wish I could of been there. He did that because you were alone. I know I know you were with Natty, but he would of never have done such a thing if I were with you."

I look at Sebastian with puppy dog eyes and a small smile "I know Seb, I know. It felt sincere though. I think we should at least give him the chance to prove himself."

He takes a breath in "those damn eyes get me everytime.  I'm not one for second chances however," he looks at me and sighs "if you wouldn't of given me a second chance... I wouldn't be here. I will give him this opportunity to show he's actually genuine. I will however beat the living shit out of him if I find out he's up to something."

I look at him concerned "you may punch him once, I don't need you getting expelled over me."

I reach out my hand "deal?" I say pleading with him and he takes my hand and shakes it.

"Yes Ms. Johnson anything for you" he pulls my hand in and we're almost touching face to face "I would love to get expelled just for you. I really like you a lot. Anything that hurts you, hurts me too. And I don't enjoy being hurt." He kisses me softly and I smile.

We get back to reading. I few hours in I keep finding a read the current name, or place most like. Greece and Rome keep coming into the books I'm reading. "Sebastian, these aren't just books about cures. Most of them are. It seems like what I've read day in and day out is that I have to go to Greece. There is something in Greece. I feel it Sebastian. My magic even seems to rise when I speak it. There's something there..."

He looks up  at me "Greece has come up a lot for me as well. Do you think that's where ancient magic originated from?"

I look at him "maybe? Either way I think I need to go there this summer.... Something tells me it's really important."

He looks disappointed "I thought we talked about waiting until after 7th year."

I look at him concerned "I can't wait that long Seb, I know something is brewing out there Seb... I know. It has to be this summer."

He takes a deep breath "well then m'lady your not going alone. We will go to Greece."

I look at him with dread "you can't come Sebastian, I need to do this on my own." He looks hurt.

"why do you do that..." he gets up.

"why do you think you can just leave me behind. I'm all for adventure. I know what the consequences are Athena. You can do this own your on, But let me help you."

Tears are streaming down my eyes "this is not your fight Sebastian" I say more aggressively than I meant it.

"Not my fight?... Athena Im not having this conversation with you. I'm going. But the fact that your blind to the fact that your fight will always be mine is beyond me. Your being selfish. I'm leaving I'm exhausted after today. I'll see you later."

Sebastian leaves me crying in the room if requirement. 

I couldn't let him come. If anything we're to happen to him i wouldn't be able to control myself or my powers. I sit in the room of requirement crying for the rest of the night.
