STARGIRL INTERLUDE - THE WEEKEND "I just want to see you shine 'cause I know you are a star girl."
:･✧ *:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧
THOMAS WAS PASSED out and sprawled across the bed when Willow returned to the darkened hotel room. She held a guilty conscience, but he wasn't awake to see that it was written all over her face. And she was glad he wasn't.
She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as she leaned over to take an empty beer bottle that was hanging from in his hand. She noticed the glass was still everywhere, but she wasn't going to clean it with the risk of him waking up, he was practically lying in it.
She sat his drink on the bedside table and lightly kissed his forehead before turning around in search of her suitcase.
Despite how cruel he had been to her, she couldn't just forget all the good years they had spent together.
But she also couldn't, she wouldn't, stay here with him if he was going to be acting like he was.
She knew losing in a tournament was one of the worst feelings in the world, but that did not give him the excuse to act like that. That just revealed his true colors.
And the way Art was treating her showed just how badly she missed his kindness. She missed when Thomas actually cared about her, she missed when he actually loved her. But it wasn't going to get better, he was in too deep, and she couldn't watch it happen.
She changed into her old college sweatshirt and black sports shorts, she packed all the stuff she thought she'd need for the time being.
And a small smile finds its way on her face as she reminds herself of who was waiting for her outside.
"This feels like one of our old sleepovers." Her shoulders bounce as she smiles brightly.
"Except this time we don't have to beg for permission." Art leans against his black jeep, his hands deep in his pockets.
"We probably should though." She refers to Thomas and Tashi. Who were clueless about the whole thing. She had a certain look glistening in her eyes as she ran her tongue along her dry lips.
Art couldn't hold himself back any longer than he already had as he pulled her towards him and crashed his lips onto hers. He spins her around so he's pinning her against his car.
