Sebastian looked up and glanced at his beautiful step-sister. Her hair was wavy and gleamed in the sunlight which shone through the large windows of the Rosemond Estate mansion.
"You look wonderful today Kathryn" Sebastian smiled at her. Her face was first confused, but then she realised he was trying to get to her.
"Why thank you dear brother" She smirked at him then turned to her 4 year old daughter.
"Sarah, eat up" She moved the plate towards Sarah's pretty face and told her to eat.
Sebastian looked over to his niece and pondered about her.
Why didn't Sarah acquire any of her father's traits. Sarah had blonde hair, neither Kathryn or Lincoln had blonde hair, her eyes were between a light blue and a deep green, Lincoln's eyes were brown.
Sebastian turned to his girlfriend. "Kassie are you going to watch the annual lacrosse game in the field this afternoon?" He smiled at her genuinly.
"Of course, I wouldn't miss it, especially seeing as your playing" She placed her small hand over his on the table.
"You? Sebastian Valmont? Playing lacrosse" She snickered. "You've never liked sports, why the sudden change?" She asked.
"I felt like playing. Lincoln's playing today aren't you Linc" Sebastian nodded his head at Kathryn's husband.
"Yes I am Sebastian, I believe quite a few of your old class mates are going to be there too Kathryn" He turned to his stunning wife.
"Really? Like who?" Fuck. She didn't want to see any of those half brained bimbos and there trophy boyfriends.
"Court Reynolds for one. You dated him back in your last year remember?"
"I remember dear brother thank you" Kathryn glared her icy stare at him, burning holes into him mentally.
Kathryn picked up her daughter who was dressed in a pale green chanel dress. "Come Sarah, let's go out to the field" She placed her daughter on the ground and held her hand as Lincoln followed his wife and daughter out the door towards the field.
Sebastian got up and grabbed the hand of his girlfriend and hurried her along to the field, they were about to start picking teams.
Mrs Rosemond sat on a chair as the line of boys stood there waiting for the last of the competitors. All of Kathryn's previous fucks were there. Court Reynolds, Dale Fickward and Greg Dylan just to name a few.
Sebastian took a place in the line of boys next to Lincoln as the adoring crowd of the now grown up Manchester Prep former students sat in the crowd ogling at the handsome bunch of men.
One of Sebastian's former class mates, William Brans, came up to Sebastian, an angry look on his face.
"Valmont" He said sternly. "Where have you been?" He grabbed the collar of Sebastian's shirt.
"Oh you know here and there, why? Sandra needed a great fuck?" He sneered not afraid of what the former jock could do to him.
"Her name is Cassandra and no I please her just fine, but I heard how you fucked her the night you left. She was dating me then. Don't think I've forgotten. I'll get you back Valmont, your not going t-" William was cut off by Blaine Tuttle.
"How's it going Willy? Did you have a good time last night? I sure fucking did" Blaine smiled at the closet gay male as he walked off in embarrassment.
"Hey Tuttle" Sebastian said fixing his shirt.
Kathryn sat on one of the seats next to Mrs Rosemond, her gaze wandered over to her very well groomed step-brother who was talking to Blaine.
"What's going on between Katie and you?" He asked quickly.
"Nothing, she's still the cold hearted bitch I left her to be" Sebastian glanced over to Kathryn who's gaze was fixed on Blaine and him.
"Don't bullshit me Valmont, you two have been giving each other looks ever since you came out here, now fess up" Blain teased.
"Tuttle! Get your gay ass of the field!" One of the boys said from the other end.
Blaine sighed. "I'll talk to you later Valmont. For now I'll just watch your handsome ass move" He smiled cheekily at Sebastian before leaving.
"Don't make me sick Blaine!" He yelled back at his gay friend.
The whistle was blown and the game started, Sebastian ran down the field in an attempt to posses the ball. Lincoln and him being on the same team, even though one another hated each other made a good sporting pair. As Lincoln got the ball he passed it to Sebastian who then got a goal. Sebastian roared excitedly as all the girls watched him. His girlfriend Kassie looked very jealous as Sebastian glanced around at the beautiful girls.
The game proceeded and as expected Lincoln and Sebastian's team was winning. The pair made a good team none the less and were up by two goals. The crowd cheered as Sebastian scored yet another goal. When Sebastian came in possesion of the ball once again, an enraged William ran down the field. Sebastian hadn't noticed him coming and much surprise to everyone William fully charged into the built Sebastian. William's lacrosse stick hitting Sebastian fiercly over the head as he stumbled over the barely concious Sebastian.
No one seemed to run over to Sebastian just yet. When he went to get up he yelped in pain. He had fallen awkwardly and he was in immense pain. His ankle felt like it had been snapped in two. Just before anyone could come to help him a still enraged William ran over and picked up the pain filled Valmont and punched him in the face. It was at that point that people noticed the large gash on the back of Sebastian's head. It was gushing crimson red liquid. William let go of the drowsy Sebastian and he fell carelessly to the spongy grass. His ankle snapped and Sebastian let out a loud yell in agony.
Kathryn ran over to the helpless Sebastian.
"Sebastian!" She screamed grabbing the back of his head. She pulled out a handkercheif from her jacket pocket and put it on the gash at the back of his head in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
"Mummy" Sarah said, running her little legs over to Sebastian and her mother.
"Sarah stay away" Kathryn pushed her back and Lincoln came running down. "Take Sarah away" Kathryn ordered.
"But I can-" Kathryn cut him off.
"Now" She said.
She held Sebastian's hand as his Aunt Helen called for an ambulance. People had distanced themselves from Sebastian who was obviously in a lot of pain. He was sweating and his face had turned into a pale white.
"Kathryn don't go" His voice was soft.
"I'm not going anywhere Sebastian" She held his hand fighting back tears. Her of all people were worried.
Kassie who had just come back form the toilet saw her boyfriend lying on the ground, his eyes glazed over and blood still pouring in generous amount from both the gash at the back of his head and nose.
"BASTIAN!" She screamed. Kassie tried grasping his other hand but Kathryn gave her an icy glare to warn her off.
As the ambulance officers arrived a now unconcious Sebastian was carried by stretcher to the van. Kathryn followed.
His words stuck in her head. Don't go.
Kathryn got into the back of the ambulance with the medical officer and Sebastian.
"I'll meet you there Kathryn dear" Helen yelled more towards Kathryn then at her. She was sick with worry.
Kathryn not once let go of his cold hand as the ambulance sped to the hospital. His breath was quiet and his chest barely heaved as he continued to breathe.
"Is he going to be okay?" Kathryn asked the medical officer.
"Are you his wife?" The medical officer asked.
Hardly. Wife? No. Step-sister? Yes. Lover? Maybe.
"No, I'm his step-sister" Kathryn told the medical officer as her eyes watered. She wanted to fight back tears but she was so worried that she couldn't be bothered. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at the still Sebastian. He was so lifeless.
"We'll try our best Ms" He told her as he monitored his condition until they reached the hospital.
The ambulance men took Sebastian out of the amublance and rushed him inside where he was then rushed to intensive care. Kathryn stood there. She felt alone. He couldn't die. He couldn't leave her here on her on. The insenstive bastard.
Helen, Kassie, Sarah, Lincoln and Kathryn waited in the waiting room for Sebastian's surgery to be finished.
"Is there a Mrs Rosemond here?" He asked the 5 waiting people.
Helen stood up."Is he going to be okay?" Helen clearly distressed was nervous at what the doctor was going to say.
"Are you Sebastian Valmont's Aunt?" He asked putting a hand on her shoulder. She nodded impatiently. He took her out of the waiting room into the hall. Kathryn could see Mrs Rosemond and doctor Clifford clearly, she couldn't quite make out was they were saying as their voices were muffled.
"He's suffered a lot of blood loss from that nasty gash at the back of his head. We've stitched it up in surgery. His nose was broken, I'm guessing he was in a fight. His ankle, it didn't take much to break it I suspect he had a previous injury on it not too long ago. But the bone snapped. We had to break it again to help it heal, it's in a cast now and he'll be on crutches for 10-12 weeks. But over all he'll be out of here in a few days. You can go see him if you like" He patted Mrs Rosemond on the shoulder as if to re assure her.
He left Helen and she went into the waiting room to tell the others.
"Can we see him?" Kathryn asked holding her daughter in her lap.
"Doctor Clifford said yes, but only one at a time, he's not awake yet, still unconcious from the medication he was giving. I'll quickly go see him. I'll be a few minutes then you guys can see him" She left the others and went into Sebastian's room.
She came out 5 minutes later and said goodbye to the others. She had to get back to the house and work out the party attendants.
Kassie got up and started walking towards the door once Mrs Rosemond had gone.
"Where do you think your going?" Kathryn asked her bitchly.
"Seeing my boyfriend" She said.
"I'm seeing him first he is my step-brother" and lover. She told Kassie. She pushed passed the black haired girl, leaving her husband, daughter and her step-brother's girlfriend in the waiting room.
She entered Sebastian's room. It was silent apart from the beeping of the machines he was hooked up to. She sat on the chair beside his bed and grasped his hand. "Sebastian" She sobbed. Tears freely ran down her face. She didn't care if Sebastian woke up and saw her like this. Not right now.
"I'm sorry Sebastian" She cried to him quietly. "Sorry for everything. For fucking you around. For being so nasty to you. For not telling you about Sarah" She paused. She thought she felt is fingers move.
Indeed Sebastian had awoke. He had heard her cry and heard her sorrys. But as of yet he didn't want to show her he was awake. He wanted to hear what else she had to say.
"Sarah's yours Sebastian. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. That's why I fucked you over Sebastian. I found out I was pregnant and it was the only way I knew how to deal with it" She held his hand tighter.
"Please don't leave me here alone you selfish bastard. I need you"
His hand twitched as she interwinded their fingers. His eyes slowly opened. Revealing glassy blue eyes. He looked down at her tear stained face.
He musted up strength and sat up against his bed head. She looked up at him with her red rimmed eyes. He placed his hand on her cheek and his thumb wiped away her tears.
"Didn't think you knew how to cry anymore" He said to her smirking that evil smirk he and Kathryn shared. She smiled at him, she was glad he was back. Not that she would admitt it. It then occurred to her. What if he had heard her say all those things about Sarah?
"Sebastian did you hear what I said before about-" He cut her off.
"About what?" He asked, knowing she wouldn't tell him. Not that it mattered because he already knew.
"Nothing" She smiled, kissing his forehead.
"Don't leave me ever Sebastian" She closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against his lovingly.
"I don't plan on it" Sebastian draped his arm over her.
Kathryn heard the door open and she sat back in the seat.
"Sorry Katie, but she wouldn't sit still" Lincoln came in through the door with Sarah.
Sarah climbed into Kathryn's lap then on to Sebastian's bed.
"Sarah" Kathryn scowled.
"Don't Kat, it's okay" He picked up his now known daughter and studied her.
He could see it now. Her blonde hair, Sebastian trait. Her mixed blue-green eyes, a Kathryn-Sebastian trait. Her slightly tanned skin, darker then Kathryn's but lighter then Sebastian's, another Sebastian-Kathryn trait.
He patted the girls head and stroked her hair adoringly.
"Uncle Sebastian" She said, smiling, her pearly white teeth showing to full extent.
Sebastian let out a small laughter. Uncle Sebastian. He quite liked the sound of it. He looked over to Lincoln, he wondered if Lincoln knew Sarah wasn't his. Well of course not, otherwise he wouldn't have married Kathryn.
Lincoln looked at his wife. "Kathryn we must go, it's late and it's passed Sarah's bedtime" Lincoln put his hand on Kathryn's white shoulder.
She smiled at him faintly and got up. "I'll be back tomorrow Sebastian" She kissed his forehead in a sisterly way and picked up Sarah leaving the white nearly silent room.
They were passing the waiting room and she noticed Kassie was still sitting there. She gave Lincoln Sarah and told him she'll be out in a few minutes.
She proceeded into the waiting room.
"Kassie you can see him now" She said, she was about to walk off when she heard Kassie murmur something.
"What was that?" She whipped her head around to the black haired girl.
"Bitch" She told Kathryn, not backing off.
"Fuck off you dirty whore" She was going to slap the Valmont girlfriend but she didn't want to make a scene.
"Coke whore" Kassie sneered as she made her way to the door.
"What did you just call me?" Kathryn asked staring at the girl.
"You heard me" Kassie said, still not afraid of Kathryn.
"Who told you that?" Kathryn demanded.
"Sebastian..he let me read his journal" Kassie glared at Kathryn intensly.
Sebastian let her read his beloved journal. He never let Kathryn read it. He must really love this stupid slut. Coke whore, wait. He had written that about her. She felt hurt.
"Listen you little Greek skank, Sebastian loves you. Don't go screwing him over or I'll personally hunt you down and make sure you get what you deserve. Oh and don't even think about saying a bad word about me again or you'll never know what hit you" she sneered getting out of there before Kassie had the chance to reply.
Kassie entered Sebastian's white room, she knocked first then entered. He sat up cautiously expecting Kathryn, but was dissappointed to a degree when Kassie had entered the room.
She came over and kissed him on the lips. He went to the draw where his things had been stored and reached into the pocket of his pants that he had been wearing and pulled out something. He was about to show her when she stopped him.
"Sebastian we need to talk" She rested a hand on his.
"About what baby" He looked confused.
"Sebastian, I think" She started. Her eyes welled up.
"I think we should break up" She pursed her lips, trying not to cry.
"What? Why?" He asked furious and hurt.
"I'm not right for you, I don't want to hurt you" She told him biting her lip.
"Kassie" Sebastian got out, his heart was breaking.
"Besides that your heart is clearly with another girl. The beautiful brunette you call your step-sister. I don't know the full story Bastian, but there's something between you two" She got up and kissed his forehead.
She started to shed warm tears from her brown eyes.
"I love you Kassie, why are you doing this?" Sebastian cried out as she turned her back to him and wiped her tears from her face.
"I don't want to hurt you Bastian" She opened the door and left.
"Kassie" He sobbed. Tears ran down the usually calm and in control face. His pulled his hand up and opened it. A small box from Tiffanys was cupped in his hand. He opened it and a very expensive white gold ring with two diamonds was set in the box.
He stuffed it back in his draw and his face turned to stone. He hated feelings. Ever since Kathryn and broken his heart for the first time he told him self he would never fall for another girl. But then Kassie came along. Although it didn't seem it he loved her. She understood Sebastian. Now that she had gone he didn't want to feel anymore.
Sebastian's eyes wearily opened. A sleeping Kathryn's head lie on his bed. "Kathryn" He whisipered softly caressing her face.
She woke up still drowsy.
"She left me" Sebastian sighed.
"Who left you?" Kathryn asked.
"Kassie" Tears formed in his blue eyes.
"I was going to ask her to marry me yesterday, after the game. Then she came here and I was about to then she broke up with me" He stared blankly at the wall in front of him.
Kathryn's face looked guilty. She knew Kassie was threatened from Kathryn and that was why she left him.
"Kathryn you did something didn't you?" He looked towards her, he could tell.
"No, I mean, well I talked to her" Kathryn stumbled with words.
"What did you say?" He demanded.
"She called me a coke whore and a bitch and well I got angry and I told her to treat you with care because you love her and I told her not to cross me" Kathryn bit her cheek nervously.
"Kassie" He sobbed.
"I'm sorry Sebastian, I didn't intend on her breaking up with you" She told him trutfully.
"Fuck off bitch" He said.
"Sebastian I'm being trutful" She held his hand.
"Get out" He ordered.
"No, I will not get out Sebastian" She told him as he pulled his hand away.
"Couldn't you just leave my life alone? It's bad enough that you broke my heart, you had to go and ruin my one last chance at love!" He yelled at her.
"Your going to have hell to pay for this Kathryn Merteuil" He pushed her back.
"Now leave" He ordered her. A shaking Kathryn left a saddened Sebastian.
She didn't know what he meant. Would he really hurt her? Did he blame her for this break up. She didn't mean to break them up. What had she done?
