Trauma.

Chapter Ten

Hey guys!

Sorry about the wait, but I started school and I have a huge audition in November that I'm currently getting ready for.

So, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter ten.

I had to admit, walking into a building with the enemy made me feel like I had a target on my chest. I doubted Seb was doing much with the Warblers these days, he couldn't dance with his broken leg and I don't think he even remembered them.

I could hear people whispering about him, or me, or both of us. I wasn't sure, but with the pointing and sideways glances, I knew that it was aimed at the two of us.

"Don't pay attention to them." Seb told me. His words were so sudden that I jumped a bit. He chuckled when he saw me jump, then shook his head. "If they don't have the guts to say it to your face, then their opinions don't matter."

I watched as the New Directions walked up, then Kurt stamped out of the group and slapped Seb across the face. I was horrified, speechless. I couldn't believe that he would do that to Seb. "Hey!" I shouted, but Kurt was deaf to the words coming out of my mouth.

He grabbed Seb by the collar of his shirt and pulled him down so Kurt was able to look him in the eye. "If you ever hurt Blaine again, I will kill you." He warned, and Seb looked both confused and scared. My stomach felt like a volcano about to erupt. "I don't care if I end up spending the rest of my life in jail, because of you even think about touching a single hair on his head, I will destroy you."

I snapped myself out of my thoughts of Kurt murdering Seb and pushed Kurt away from him. "Leave him alone." I snapped as I slung my arm around Seb's shoulder to show that I was going to protect him. "We all know that you're a pacifist."

"I hurt someone?"

I looked over at Sebastian. He made eye contact with me, and those freakin' beautiful green with those gorgeous shimmering gold flakes caused my heart to stop for a second. But they were filled with sadness, filled with tears that threatened to spill.

"Don't try to play innocent, Smythe." Kurt told him before I could answer. And I swear, I was about to kill him. He need to shut up before I punched a couple of teeth out of his face. Sebastian didn't remember hurting Blaine, and while I understood the sentiment, this was stupid.

"He doesn't remember hurting Blaine, Hummel." I said, finally sick of all of Kurt's crap. "Leave him alone before you end up in a hospital room." Yes, I had just threatened the most powerful gay kid in the school, and I would definitely be hearing a song about it in glee tomorrow. But Hummel and I had never liked each other, and I didn't want him messing with Seb anymore.

Kurt glared at me, then rolled his eyes at me. I scoffed. "I'm not lying." I said. "You leave Seb alone, and we won't have to call an ambulance."

I could tell that Kurt was trying to come up with something to say to me, but I could also tell that he knew he didn't have anything to say. For once. "We need to practice." He finally said.

I nodded. "Looks like we finally agree on something." I said, then ushered for him to lead the way. I hoped that no one else would comment on Sebastian's presence. At least not the same way Kurt had.

•••

Seb and I played around through the entire rehearsal, jokingly flirting with each other and just goofing off. Seb had to be one of my best friends in the whole world, and there was nothing that could change that.

Luckily, no one really cared that Sebastian was there. Rachel threw a fit, but shut up after Finn said something to her and we started practicing. But for the most part no one seemed to care.

After practice everyone began to go their separate ways. Mike and Tina were leaving to go watch a movie, Rachel and Finn were going out to dinner, and all those other couples doing their own things. I was happy that I didn't have any of those obligations.

I spun around as someone tapped my shoulder, then smiled as I saw Brittney standing there. "Britt! Don't do that!" I said, but I wasn't angry, in fact, I was laughing.

"You like him." She told me in her quiet and matter of factly voice. A lot of people thought that Britt was stupid, or didn't know what she was talking about, but they were all wrong. She always knew what she was talking about, that didn't mean that other people understood her.

I felt my cheeks heat up and I pulled at a loose string on my shirt. I could feeling my heart thumping against my ribs. "He's my friend." I said, but even I knew that I was lying. I liked Sebastian.

She smiled. "I think he likes you too." She said. "But I would have to talk to Lord Tubbington about it before I'm sure about it."

I nodded. Britt's logic didn't always make sense to me, but if she thinks she needs to consult with her cat, then who am I to tell her otherwise? "Well, tell me what he says." I said. I didn't really care that much about what the cat had to say, but Britt was my other best friend and I would listen to whatever she wanted to talk about.

I looked up as Seb walked up beside me, then waved at Britt. "Hi." He said.

Britt rocked on her heels. "You're Sebastian." She said, then held out her hand. "I'm Brittany."

I was a bit surprised that she had introduced herself to him, but I also remembered seeing her and Kurt talking during practice. So maybe she knew about Seb's amnesia.

Seb shook her hand. "Its nice to meet you." He said. I seriously hoped that Britt and Seb became friends, because I would love it if I could spend a whole day with both of my friends.

She smiled. "Lord Tubbington would like you." She told him, and she didn't say that to just anybody. Lord Tubbington was pretty picky. "You should meet him soon."

Seb frowned and looked at me. He looked so adorable when he was confused. He looked like a puppy that couldn't find his ball. "Her cat." I mouthed, then winked.

Seb blinked, then looked back at Britt. "That would be fun." He said. "But Tana and I should get going soon."

Britt nodded sadly. "Okay.." She sighed, then perked up. "But I'll see you again soon?"

Seb grinned. I seriously have no idea how every facial expressions of his made him look so perfect and adorable, but they did. "Yeah." He said. "I think so."

I hugged Britt and told her bye, then looked at Seb. "Ready to go?" I asked. I was sick of this stupid school.

Seb nodded. "Yup." He said as we began walking. "Where to?"

I inhaled deeply. It had been a long time since I had this kind of anxiety. "My house."

So? What did y'all think? (Sorry if Britt was ooc, I tried to make her in character.. Lol.) Anyway, please vote and comment! I would love to know what you're thinking!

Thanks for reading! Love y'all!
