The Sebastian Chronicles !

Here's the beginning of Sebastian Smythe .

Sebastian had always knew who he was. He was gay. He was mean. He was ruthless. He was sneaky. He was ashamed. And when it came to his mother he was vulnerable. But Sebastian wasn't all those things intentionally, they were just things he would sometimes do in order to keep his walls from tumbling down for the wrong person.

Sebastian still remembered the day he had came out to his parent's. A week (Five years today) before they moved to Lima he had decided it was now or never. Sebastian remember walking into the house after vocal & piano practice, quickly wrangling his two siblings, Samantha - 20 (who was visiting from Harvard) and Cordon- 11, and his parents and having them sit at the table. When they were all there , he sighed and told them a secret he had been holding onto for 6 months now. His dad's reaction was very relaxed-easy. He told Sebastian that he would support him no matter his choices. Samantha had told him that she had know ever since she had caught him checking out Linnox , her boyfriend. Cordon - said that it was he didn't care. Sebastian had been happy up until his mother gave him the glare of death.

"Are you people insane? " he remembered her saying. "Are you even my family? Are you brainwashed?" His mother said combing thru her black hair.

"Carly, this is our son, always will be!" His father had raised his tone and he had NEVER raised his tone with his mother.

"Jonathan! Are you kidding me?. He is a sin. Sebastian you are sick, diseased even. You know the books of the bible and you know this is a sin!"

Everyone looked at Sebastian.

"Mom." those were the only words Sebastian could get out.

"You are a disgrace!" Carly said shaking her head.

"If everyone went to hell for sins you would've been there Carly when you decided to cheat on your family." He heard his father say under is breath.

Sebastian felt the tears stream down his face as his mothers said her last words to him.

"Sebastian, until you are cured you are no longer my son. Cordon, Samantha you all are no exclusion. Jonathan I should have left you years ago."

The next time Sebastian would see his mother was the day she moved out.

"Dad!" he screamed out over the television in the family room .

"In here kiddo!" Jonathan screamed from the family room turning down the volume.

"Dad this just came in the mail." Sebastian said handing his dad the newspaper.

On the cover was a dark haired woman , two blonde children,boy & girl, and a blonde headed man with a tall figure.

The title read : JUST MARRIED!

Sebastian saw his smiling mother with her knew perfect family. He began to sob .

"Dad it's all my fault!" Sebastian sputtered through louder sobs.

His father grabbed him in a hug.

"Look, your mother missed out on an amazing journey son. Your amazing, we all know that. I hate to talk down on her but when it came to it all your mom was the poison that ruined a beautiful garden ." Jonathan held him closer as his son began to sob quietly.

"Remember how we would watch Sleeping Beauty with Samantha." He felt Sebastian nod. "Well see your mother is like sleeping beauty. She's beautiful and one day just like how the old lady gave Beauty the bad apple , someone planted a bad seed in your mother's soul. But that is not your fault. You also shouldn't worry about her or her opinions. I know that's a lot to ask considering that's your mother but that should not keep you from happiness. Remember one thing okay?"

He felt Sebastian look up and nod.

" The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore guard accordingly ." His father smiled. "You know who said that?"

Sebastian smirked.

"No. who?"

"Marcus Aurelius but let's pretend like I did. " Jonathan said bursting into a fit of laughter.

"Sure dad."

Jonathan stood up straight and flashed that "Smythe" smile.

"I love you kiddo ."

"I love you too dad. "

Later that night as he sat at the table, he didn't long for Carly to return , didn't long for an apology , he didn't long for nothing actually. Because for once in his life he didn't have to. Sebastian had a family. He had his dorky younger brother, his annoying older sister, and his dorky incredible understanding dad and he figured that his father was right his mother had missed out on a long journey. She had missed out on his singing competitions , Samantha's graduation from Harvard ,the birth of her first child Abigail-Dawn, and her marriage , his dad's election, and Cordon's first kiss. Sure they were all crazy . Sure they were all moving in different directions sometimes, but she had missed out on all of that and that night as he burnt the newsletter, he thought about how happy he was that he had come out because it showed him just how important family was. He thought about how happy they all were. For once he just wanted to get back inside and have movie night with his dad , his sister, his brother, his brother-in-law, his niece , his soon to be sister-in-law (someday ;D ) and his best-friend to watch a classic.

And no, not sleeping beauty, something with more meaning, something that had a happy ending.
