Pretty Girl?? I missed you...
Sebby.... I need you here...
His voice is full of so much concern when he answers me back. "Princess, are you okay? Talk to me. Please..."
I try to hold it together as I pour out my thoughts to him. His plans to head to New York, start a prelaw track at Columbia in the fall. My pending application there, and to UCLA. Or going to college back in Pittsburgh. My fears, if we can survive distance, especially that far. If we marry now, would it make sense for us to live in opposite cities. I'm worried and I'm scared.
Sebastian sighs on the other side of the phone after I finish my tortured soliloquy. "Shann, you know I love you right?" I murmur back a soft reply so he continues. "Love, I've said this before, we're bigger than all of this. Everything. Everyone. We can survive anything. Even if you don't end up in New York with me right away. Because we're meant to be together in the end of it all."
I'm picking at a pillow on the couch as I contemplate his words, cradling it in my arms. "How can you be so certain Sebastian?" I can hear the smile in his voice as he replies, "I have faith Love, faith in us. One hand, one heart remember? Can I sing something for you? Right now to help you understand?" I softly whisper a yes through the phone. He must be setting up a song because music soon filters through the speaker, then his voice, clear as a bell.
Right Here Waiting
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
The music fades out. I'm sobbing softly on the other end of the phone. My voice is soft when I finally speak, "Sebastian do you really mean it?" He sighs on the other end, "Every word. I would go through anything and everything because I know that if in the end I'm with you then it is all worth it. See this is one of those times when I wish I were there with you, to hold you in my arms and show you that it will all be okay. Princess, you still have Bastian Warbler in your room right?" I place the pillow back beside me on the couch, wipe the tears from my cheeks and stand up, "Of course. He's right in the middle of my bed."
"Go up and get him. Whenever you need me there and I can't be. Whether I'm here at Dalton or in the future and we end up at different colleges, if you hold him think of me, there with you. My arms wrapped around you. Taking all your worries and fears away. Because we can make it through anything together." His words propel my feet and I climb the stairs to my room. Settling on my bed I gather the little Warbler bear in my free hand, squeezing him tightly to my chest.
"Bas, how did you get so wise all of a sudden?" He chuckles in my ear, "Well I'm 18 now, so.... Kind of woke up that way on the morning of January 14th. Comes with the birthday." I can't help the giggles that I emit at his words. Sebastian?! He laughs on the other end of the phone. "See that's what I like to hear, you're sounding happier now." I hum in response as I hear my name being called from down stairs.
"Belle? The pizza is here. Come back down before it gets cold!"
I sigh softly into the phone as I get up off my bed, still clutching the bear to myself. "Sebby, I have to go. Blaine is calling me down to dinner." He sighs in response, "That's okay, I really should start my homework anyway. Remember you can always call me whenever you need to Love. Don't hold everything in, I'm here for you. Always."
"I know Sebby. I love you..."
"Love you too Pretty Girl. And if I don't talk to you before you go to sleep tonight, sweet dreams only of me..."
We disconnect the call and I walk back downstairs feeling a little bit lighter. Blaine has set the pizza up on the coffee table, having carefully moved my applications to the kitchen table for later inspection. His eyes raise up from the table where he is setting out paper plates and napkins at the sound of my feet reaching the bottom of the stairs. The smile on my cousin's face is so sweet as he looks at me. "Someone's looking happier. So I take it you talked to Bas?" I nod, cuddling my bear in my arms as I settle on to the couch. "He's so incredibly sweet. He let me explain everything, all my fears and worries to him. And then he sang to me..."
I can't help the giddy smile on my face as I think of my precious green eyed boy, my sweet, adorable, incredibly handsome and talented fiancé. My Warbler.
Blaine gives me a small hug and then hands me a plate with some pizza on it. "If someone would have told me months ago that I would be happy that Seb set his sights on you that day at the Lima Bean I would call them crazy. But he is good for you. He loves you and makes you happy. I live to see you happy." I give Blaine a shy smile as I start to eat my pizza, Bastian Warbler tucked beside me on the couch.
I don't know where my future will take me, what school I'll end up at yet. If I'll be in New York, California, Pennsylvania or even Rhode Island. But wherever I end up I know that sweet green eyed boy will be there, waiting to be with me.
**a/n: hopefully you enjoy this sweet little fluffy Shann / Sebby moment. Things may get dark soon.**
