The Arrogant Player

Part 30

The next morning you woke up and went downstairs for breakfast. Sebastian was in the kitchen, making some food, which turned out to be waffles.

"Ooh, what's this all about?" you asked as you sat down in a chair at the island in the center.

Sebastian just shrugged as he grabbed a plate, putting a waffle on it and setting it before you. He poured you a glass of orange juice and you reached to it and began taking a sip *more like gulp you were so thirsty*

"So how were the rest of your dreams last night?" Sebastian suddenly brought up, propping himself on his elbows on the counter and looking at you smugly.

You almost choked on your drink and you coughed and sputtered as you set down the glass and coughed it all out.

"I don't even remember," you replied, but your cheeks were heating up extra fast.

He just kept wearing that smug expression as he stared at you, before finally going back to making waffles.

You took a bite and it was so good mmmmm...

"Sounds a little bit like what i heard yesterday," Sebastian said.

"excuse me?!" you said, glaring at him.

"You're excused," he replied.

You rolled your eyes as you continued eating and he just made more waffles...

•••

For some reason you were feeling extra emotional today. Later in the day, you found out that the movie was being canceled. It was too hard to work with Chris being gone and the whole movie was destroyed due to it. That made you pretty upset and Sebastian was upset too. But then you just kept thinking about it and went up to sebs room and sat on his bed. Chris was gone...you didn't know why it just seemed to weigh on you more today than any other day. You had been doing good every other day this week...

And then you made the mistake of pulling out your phone. You immediately went to photos and that was your second mistake.

You had a Chris album.

Pictures of Chris flooded your screen.

You and Chris.

Chris kissing your cheek.

Chris and you laughing together.

A selfie that he took when he stole your phone and you just looked annoyed in the background.

A picture of you he must've taken when he stole your phone, except you looked so happy.

You had a smile on your face that you had never seen before- so real, so genuine.

And just the way you were looking at the camera...you didn't realize you were crying until it was too late.

You were trapped in all the pictures.

They had grabbed you and pulled you under the water, strapping weights to your feet so you couldn't move up for air.

Tears continued to stream down your face and you tried to muffle your sobs so Sebastian wouldn't come check on you but of course he heard you and you heard him pounding up the stairs and running into the room.

He saw you on the bed and rushed to your side, immediately seeing what you were looking at and prying your phone out of your hands. He turned it off and set it aside, turning to you and wrapping his arms around you.

"it's okay, (y/n), it's okay to let it out," he said as he stroked your hair and you just cried while he held you...

Never had you been awoken to the sobs of Sebastian. He had been awaken by yours countless times, but never the reverse. Except this time, you heard them. Your heard him crying in the middle of the night and your eyes immediately opened. You tore the covers off your bed and ran out of the room to where he had been sleeping on the couch right outside.

"Sebastian??" you called out, turning on a dim light and seeing him partially sitting up with red eyes and tears streaming down his face.

He looked embarrassed as you approached him, wiping his eyes quickly as you just sat on the edge of the couch and wrapped your arms around him.

"H-he was my b-best friend," Sebastian choked out as you just hugged him tighter and felt your own tears surfacing.

After a little bit you pulled away and just looked into his eyes.

His dazzling blue eyes.

"I know...it totally sucks but he would want us to move on and try to be happy," you said, and after you said those words it was as if cymbals were clanging in your head reminding you of what Chris had told you.

How could you tell Sebastian, though??

"Uh...Sebastian..? Maybe there's something I should confess..."
