Sebastian Stan Imagines

Perfect Marriage

Y/n POV
(age 12)

"You're the most beautiful girl honey, I know one day you'll find the right man and get that happily ever after you've always dreamed about, you just have to be patient," my mom said to me as she stroked my hair.

I had my head on my mom's lap and listened to her try and cheer me up after some boy at school told me I wasn't pretty enough.

"Honey the world is colder than you think," my mom says.

15 years later

I pull up to the driveway of our house and turn off the car. I turn around and see the kids have fallen asleep.

"Hey Maddie, Ty wake up we are home," I say as I get out the car and open the back car door for the kids to get off.

"Mommy, when's daddy coming home?" Maddie asks as she gets off the car. "Soon sweetie." Hopefully.

We enter the house and I tuck the kids in bed. I walk to Sebastian and I's room and go to the bathroom. I start to wash my makeup off. Honestly, I don't know why I wear it anyway, I only wore it because Sebastian always told me to put some on because it made me look pretty.

I always try and please him, by wearing what he tells me to and acting the way he wants me to but he isn't even here. He's never here.

I walk out of the bathroom and head to bed. The bed feels so big and cold without him.

The neighbors have no clue how destroyed our perfect home looks like. They only see a picture-perfect home sweet home.

After a few minutes of trying to fall asleep I find myself standing in front of Sebastian's fine collection of alcohol in our kitchen.

Sometimes I wish I liked drinking or pills, just like him. Maybe I wouldn't feel this broken heart. I wish I could sleep with a stranger like he does every week. But I could never. I'm not that type of person.

I go back to my room and lay down in bed facing the ceiling.

I'm weak because I can't leave. I always smile with a lump in my throat. For my kids. They shouldn't have to go through such things.

I cover all my problems, I just wish I didn't have to wear this sugarcoat.

I sight and close my eyes.

Next morning

"Mom wake up!" Maddie yelled. I open my eyes slowly. "Daddy is back from his business trip!" Ty yells in excitement. Business trip my ass.

The kids run downstairs and I get up and follow them. I see how he hugs them. He does love them, he just doesn't know how much he's hurting us.

"Morning babe," Sebastian says sweetly. He's so faking it. I just smile in response.

"I'm going to make some breakfast," I say while walking into the kitchen.

"How was Paris dad?" I hear Ty ask his cheating ass father.

I wonder if anyone would recognize me if I stopped pretending to have this perfect life. All my family and friends have complimented how beautiful our family is and they wish to be like us in the future, but I don't wish this on anyone.

Later that night

"I'm going on another business trip soon kids," he says. The kids sight and look down. "It's ok daddy will be back as soon as he's done!" He smiles. My kids look sad and it breaks my heart.

"Alright Maddie, Ty time for bed," I say trying to save them for feeling any of Sebastian's bad vibes.

The kids walk upstairs and I walk back into the kitchen to clean up the mess we made while eating dinner. He walks into the kitchen.

"Hey," he talks smoothly. Cheater. I ignore him and wash the dishes. "We haven't talked a lot today is everything ok?" Sebastian speaks while hugging me from behind.

One day I'll meet him all alone and tell him to go to hell. To go to hell.

He kisses my cheek and I close my eyes. This damn sugarcoat.
