Sebastian's secret
Bas's pov
It had been about a week and a half since I had gone to live with Millie and Marley, and it turned out to be way better than I thought it would be. Though I did not expect it to be the case, they showered me with unconditional love, despite my personality; which Marley was well aware of. I wasn't just invited into a house; no; I was welcomed into a home.
If you were to try and pinpoint what was the difference between my life and financial condition and theirs, at first glance I was better off, but looks can be deceiving. Sure my family had more money and better conditions than Marls and Millie; but they had something I could only dream of. And for the first time, I got to have a taste of it.
My thoughts were interrupted as Marley herself sat next to me in my room, her hair wet and curlier after hr shower
"What's on your mind, Seb?" I sighed, ready to tell her the truth " I'm jealous of you." she made such a double take I thought I heard her neck snap as she eyed me in pure confusion "YOU? Jealous of ME? Seb, WHY?! Look around!"
I complied, then spoke, as she clearly was not understanding where I was coming from " I see a united family that loves each other and does things together; a parent that provides tender love and care for her child no matter at what cost... Love and unity. My parents think love can be replaced by cash and material things. I don't care where either of us lives. You have a parent that loves you, Marls. I don't. They are too busy working to spend time with me. So yes, I'm jealous of you. And to be honest; I'd much prefer love over how my parents treat me. I haven't seen them in over a year. I take my feelings out on peple; and I know that that's so wrong; but I lose control some times. I want to be nice, I do. But there are days when I feel so much pain, that I snap. I'm sorry."
By the end of my confession, tears filled my eyes to the brim, threatening to cascade over; especially once an equally teary-eyed Marley hugged me, hand teasing through my gelled spikes. She sighed, wiping my eyes
"I'm so sorry. You shouldn't be treated like that, I'm glad you have the Warblers too. But you'll always have Mom and me. We can help you change, you've already started changing when you first walked in here."
I thanked her, then her watery grin turned into a mischievous smirk to rival my own signature one "So, how's Santana; your crush?" I looked at her in surprise and she playfully punched my arm, as a sibling-like relationship had been firmly established between us
"I'm not blind, Bas. I don't know how Santana hasn't realized it yet..." I sighed in relief, my secret was safe. But OH how I wanted to win that Latina's heart...
