Chapter 25●Face Your Fate
Selena and Liara had given up with looking for Garrus. It seemed hopeless. They were sitting in the Zakera Cafe, it was the closest place to go sit.
"We can still keep looking." Liara said, genuinely concerned about her.
"Its no use. We've loo-" Selena cut her sentence short.
"We didnt check the rest of the Normandy. Oh spirits he had been drunk! Where is he?" She had been around Garrus and just Turians in general to long, using the phrase 'oh spirits'...classic Turian.
Selena got up and ran in the direction of the Normandy. All she could hope was that he was there somewhere. She ran herself sick and finally reached the Normandy. She boarded and huffed and puffed. She was completely out of breath.
"Hes not on the crew deck,he wouldn't be in my quarters...hes not down there is he?"
She ran to the elevator and practically punched the button for engineering. She was still beyond mad at herself. The elevator pinged and she ran off of it like someone shot her.
"Garrus?"
She heard a groan.
"Garrus? Are you down here?"
Still no answer. Just grunts and groans.
Selena walked a little farther and found him laying on the floor, face down. She knelt down and nudged him, trying to wake him up.
"Garrus?"
He jumped and got on his knees, ready to draw his gun.
"Im sorry, I didnt mean to startle you."
"What the hell do you want?"
Selena frowned.
"What are you talking about?"
Garrus rolled his eyes.
"What do you mean 'what are you talking about?'" He mocked her. "You came to me...when I was drunk and had the audacity to ask me if we could work things out. I was drunk! I didnt really know what was going on. I didnt realize what had happened. When I woke up I regretted it. If this is what you were always planning on doing I wish you had never come into my life!"
"Gar- Selena started but he interrupted her.
"No! Not this time. I won't have it! You slept with another Turian! Why would you do that?"
Selena gasped.
"I did not sleep with him! It was only a kiss, nothing more."
Garrus scoffed.
"I couldn't believe you before, how can I believe you now?"
"I-Im telling the truth. I waited to tell you for your own good. I didnt want you to get hurt or even killed in the fight. I just wanted to wait."
Garrus threw his hands up in the air.
"You waited to long." His voice was stone cold. "Goodbye Selena...wish I'd never known you."
Selena opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She didnt know what to say. She watched him walk away from her and realized how horribly she had screwed up. She all of the sudden got angry.
"Fine! You want to think I slept with him. Maybe I will!"
She brought up her omni tool as she stomped towards the elevator.
Cass,
I was wrong to say what I did. I like you. Maybe we can put what I said behind me. Can we meet at the café?
Selena
She hoped that she could rekindle what she had said. She did really like him she just never told anyone else and didnt really want to think of it herself. She decided now that Garrus didnt want to be in her life, she needed Cass. Maybe it was a bad idea but its obvious that Garrus doesn't want her anymore.
A few moments later her omni tool pinged.
Selena,
That sounds great! Id love to meet up with you again. When can we meet?
Cass
Selena immediately pinged him back.
Cass,
We can meet in 25 minutes. So long as that works for you.
Selena
She got to the elevator and hit the button for the CIC.
"You don't want me anymore, I'll go to a man that will and does." She said into the silence. Wishing she could say it to his face.
"Lets do this." Selena said as she walked off the elevator.
Her omni tool pinged moments later.
Selena,
That works great. See you then!
Cass
She had to admit, she was excited to see him.
"Nows the time to test the theory of just how much you like him Selena." She told herself.
"Lets go have another date with a Turian."
A/N-Well, next chapter up! Maybe it seems like she got over Garrus to fast but thats not the case. Itll all come out in the woodwork! Hope you're enjoying and please continue to R&R!
