End Game

Wrong direction

Lizzie's POV.

It hasn't even been twenty-four hours since they've been in Canada and already there are pictures of those two all over the internet. It's really annoying.

Hearing her tell him "love, baby" infuriates me in inexplicable ways, the fact that she's taking him to community service breaks my heart because that means he's important to her and he's not just there to hang out.

The pictures of them together with Sebs has me in near tears, Shawn has him carried on his shoulders as they pick out the ice cream they want, the little guy is laughing and Valentina is smiling with her eyes sparkling watching the two of them. It's obvious that the interaction between those two melts her heart.

Seeing those pictures broke my heart, Sebas, Valen and I when we were together we were like a family, the family I've always wanted to have with her, but it's like she doesn't even remember those moments because of the smile she has.

Fuck! I feel so frustrated, I don't know what to do, I want to know what they are doing, my jealousy is driving me crazy.

I sat in my office thinking about what to do, how to know what she is doing. And suddenly an idea popped into my head. I'm going to call the little one.

The phone rang for a couple of seconds until I heard his voice on the other end of the phone.

S- Lizzie?
L-hey buddy
S- oh my god, how are you? I miss you, why didn't you come with Valen?
L- I'm fine, what about you? I miss you too, well valen and I aren't together anymore, I guess you know that by now.
S- Well, it shouldn't matter that you're not with her to come see me.
L- You're right honey, I'm sorry... what are you doing?
S- I'm here in the park playing.
L- What about Valen? Is she there with you?
S- so, she's on a bench talking to Shawn, while they take care of me.
L- do you like Shawn ?
S- I mean he's a nice guy, he treats me well.
L- do you like him more than me?
S- that's impossible Liz.

I heard footsteps approaching sebas.

V- hey who are you talking to sweetheart?

Hearing her voice talking so sweet to the boy made my heart melt.

S- you guys made it fast.
V- what do you mean?
S- you guys told Lizzie that I wanted to talk to her so she could call me.
V- well we didn't but I'm glad you were able to, I know that makes you happy.
S- you want to talk to her? She's still on the line.

I heard the little boy say and my tummy did a flip, I wanted to hear her say yes, that she was dying to talk to me and listen to me.

V- that won't be necessary Sebs, I'm sure she doesn't want to listen to me, after what she did.
S- what did she do?
V- don't worry honey, keep talking to her if you want or go play, I'll be watching you with Shawn from the bench.
S-okay angel.
V- okay angel.

That disappointed me, she didn't want to talk to me, I guess she is really upset that I didn't send her the information about Otto's birthday, I know how much she loves my nephew. Great Lizzie you screwed up again.

S- what did you do to her?
L- I made her angry.
S- Well that's pretty obvious Lizzie.
L- okay I uninvited her to my nephew's birthday which she adores.
S- oh no Lizzie, you have to make things right with her before she falls in love with him.
L- do you think that will happen?
S- I don't know, I haven't seen her this happy after she was with you until now.

That worries me, he's not the only person who tells me she looks happier.

I talked for a while more with the little boy, he told me about school and his friends, he also told me how happy he is to see Valen. He made me feel slightly happy after everything I have been feeling.
