Leaving Sean (a Grapeapplesauce fanfic)

Chapter 2: Road Trips and Lies

  After what it feels to be an eternity, I got out of my room. Everyone was silent and they all looked at each other in a panicky shocked way. I hadn't showered in a week, or even decided to brush my teeth, my hair, plus I was wearing pajamas. I was a mess. Sean hadn't come back; it must truly be over. My mom and my brother immediately came to my rescue. I looked down at Jacob who was guiding me to the food and my mom was patting my back. What? Why were they acting like I couldn't do anything? So what if I had been through a breakup; it's nothing new. And that's when I saw him. A tall, handsome, muscular man stood in my living room awkwardly. He held out his hand requesting for me to shake it.
   
  "Hey, i'm Ben." I shook his hand self consciously. Who was he? Was he important?

My mom began to speak, "Sweetheart, Ben...Ben is Jacob's father." What? Dad is dead. Jacob's father? God, it's too early for this.

"What?" I asked extremely confused.

Jacob held my hand, "This is my dad. Alive." He smiled. WHAT?? I looked at mom for guidance and she closed her eyes with a sigh. They sat me down. 

"I was at the laundry mat this one day when your father was on a business trip..and I met Ben..and I had an affair, honey. Jacob is your half-brother." My mouth opened wide and my hands covered it with my hands in shock. Ben smiled handsomely, but I didn't care how cute he was. Mom had been lying to me for years.

  I ran into my room and heard the words "Wow. Drama queen?" come out of Ben's mouth. I heard them laugh quietly. This is all too much for me. The moment I step outside they tell me my life is a lie? I got into the shower, brushed my teeth, my hair, and put on a black floral dress and put my hair in a bun. I was going to see Sean. Forget Holly or Lindsay, or even Paige. I needed Sean. He was the only one who would make me feel better. I would knock, he would answer, i'll kiss him and we'll just let bygones be bygones. 

  "Sweetheart, where are you going?" My mom asked as I ran out the door. I looked at her empty. I felt nothing towards her at the moment.

"Out." I shrugged and left. 

  When I got to Sean's house I knocked the door ready to kiss him. I was going to love him and never let him go. That was until his mother answered the door. 

 "Ah, Piper. Hello sweetie." She smiled at me.

I was feeling a bit shaky knowing I almost kissed his mother, but I answered confidently, "Where's Sean?" I smiled.

She shook her head, "No idea. He went on a road trip!" She clapped. I scrunched my nose. A road trip? Was he doing this to get away from me?

"Oh...are you sure?...Because if he's here I would-"

She interrupted me. "No no, i loved you two together. He's gone; I think for about a month or so." She smiled.

"And you don't know where?" I asked her confused. She shook her head. "Doesn't that worry you?"

She shook her head again. "He's 19 now. I can't control him anymore." She sighed. I said thanks and left. A month or so? I needed him now. I needed to tell him i'm sorry. That if he really wants it, i'll go to Wisconsin. We can long distance. I needed to find Sean. And that's what i'll do.

A/N: I was going to make this longer; but then I realized this would be a good place to end the part. Another one coming Thursday or Friday. Thanks for reading and supporting me. This is starting off slow; but next part will be Sean's perspective. Thanks again. It means a lot. Bye! xx.
