The sun was shining, the leaves were blowing and it was a good day. Except it wasn't. There hadn't been a good day in a week. Barry was in pain. It hurt every time he saw Venessa and Chris, every time he saw the smiling face of Iris on the background of his phone and it hurt every time he saw Cam. His best friend had betrayed him. He went behind his back and dated the girl Barry was in love with and lied to his face about it. It hurt. So when Barry saw Venessa and Chris he rolled his eyes, when he saw the background of his phone he changed it when he saw Cam he ignored him. But it still hurt. Barry picked up his coat and moved to leave for the Lima Bean when a body stopped him. He looked up to see the familiar face of the man he now hated.
"Barry wait." Barry simply moved around him but that wasn't going to work this time, "Barry I get it you're pissed but just hear me out. We couldn't tell you. It'd ruin our relationship and your relationship with Iris it was just for the best Barr-"
"I would have been fine with it if you had told me." Barry argued icily.
"No you wouldn't have."
Barry scoffed, "Well I guess we'll never find out now will we?" And with that he left, en route to find the strongest cup of coffee Ohio could offer.
Sebastian sent Blaine a quick text asking him to meet him at Lima Bean in an hour before turning the key so that his engine roared on and setting off for the dingy town of Lima, Ohio. It had been a wild week for him, and he was feeling lousy. Right after he found out about Dave's suicide attempt he had bumped into his boyfriend. Nick simply stared at him, wide eyes boring holes into Sebastian's face but the taller boy couldn't find it in himself to make eye contact until Nick placed his hands on the sides of his face and tilted his face upwards. What he saw there however was pure guilt, and it made him feel it himself. Nick must've seen it in his eyes too because he immediately turned confused at the sight. The shorter one pulled him to his dorm and sat him down before going on to confess cheating on him with Jeff - on purpose this time, and Sebastian couldn't help the tears that flew down his face. The honesty his boyfriend showed was almost sickening. So he ran. Again.
Barry was sitting in the corner of Lima Bean drinking a cup of coffee morosely when he heard the chair in front of him being pulled out. He looked up, slightly bewildered when he saw a Latina sitting across from him.
"Let me break it down for you, from one bitch to another. All this vicious underhanded crap has got to stop."
Sebastian walked into Lima Bean and rubbed his head with his hand as he looked around the room for the New Directions and he immediately spotted the harsh red and white of the Cheerios uniform and made his way to the table Santana was sitting at. "Hey." He said shyly but before he could begin his apology the person in front of him stood and turned around to face him. "Barry?"
"You're an asshole." He said his voice cold and sharp, "Becky broke up with me, Iris lied to me and Cam doesn't even regret it. But I still though at least I have Bas. But while I've been hurting needing my brother you've been out flirting with taken guys and cheating on Nick not to mention the fact that you almost blinded a guy. Look Sebastian, I thought things were finally working out but clearly you'll never learn." He paused to look into his brothers eyes, the hatred plain in his hazel eyes as he shot his brother a hard glare, "I thought you'd know better after last time."
"Barry it's not like that-"
"So you didn't ask Blaine out then?" He waited for a reply that didn't come and hugged out a humourless laugh, "The finals for the decathlon are tomorrow don't bother coming you're not invited." Then he was gone and Sebastian entire world left with him.
Nick was conflicted. He knew he could only have one of them but he wanted both. No, he wanted it to stop, the guilt, the pain, the worry. It was either Jeff or Sebastian. He walked down the hall only to have a body collapse into him. When he first saw him his mood both spiked and plummeted then he realised it was the other twin and his whole body shook with painful relief.
"Barry," He croaked before coughing to clear his throat and thoughts.
"Nick," Barry replies, "I need to tell you something."
Santana was confused. First they had ranted at the meerkat, normal. Then his eyes filled with fury, surprising but still normal. Last, Sebastian walked through the door, not normal. Santana was very confused. Her confusion only peaked as the two Sebastians conversed. Then one left and the other turned to them, his eyes threatening to spill tears.
"I- I'm sorry." He said before the world went black.
