Chapter 2: Putting the peices together
Summary: Sebastian and Kathryn deal with the aftermath of the accident in their separate ways.
Paralazyed. The words echoed in Sebastian's ears as he replaced the reciever of the phone. Without a second glance in Kathryn's direction, he walked out the room and went to his room.
He lay on his bed and pondered the shocking news. His Annette would never walk and it was all because of him. That's the thought that stayed with him as he tried to digest the news. He felt ashamed actually of his feelings. Here he was trying to come to grip with the news and Annette would have to deal with it all her life. He had to go see her. He owed her at least that much!
*****************
Kathryn was not having a very good day at all. First was that horrible scene with Sebastian, and now it was her getting calls from an angry Ronald and a hysterical Cecile. First Ronald called her to yell at her for trying and setting him up.
"You know what happend to Annette?" Ronald asked her coldly.
Kathryn knew alright and no matter what people said, she refused to feel guilty. Why should she? It wasn't like she was the one driving the car that hit Annette.
"Don't you feel a little bit responsible?" Ronald demanded.
"Give me a break." Kathryn said snidely."I didn't like her when she was walking, why should I be a hypocrite and start feeling sorry for her?"
Ronald had heard enough and hung up the phone in disgust.
The second phone call was from a crying Cecile. "Kathryn did you hear the news?" Cecile sobbed over the phone.
Kathryn was gonna seriously throw up. Who gave a fucking hoot about dumn Annette?
"Look I gotta go." Kathryn said hurriedly and hung up on a still crying Cecile.
Jesus! If she heard one more word about Annette she was gonna kill someone! Kathryn went to unscrew her trusty crucifix and much to her disgust it was almost empty. Time to pay Blain a visit for a little refill!
**********
"Ahhh" Kathryn said and lifted her head to enjoy the affect of the drug.
"You really like that stuff." Blain commented in wonder.
Kathryn glared over at him. "And?" She asked testily.
"Nothing." Blain said and laughed. He turned serious and looked at Kathryn. "So how's Sebastian dealing?"
Kathryn groaned. Who the fuck cared how he was dealing? He was dead to her after he had the nerve to turn her down for that twit Annette! "Who cares?" Kathryn asked and closed her eyes to try and enjoy the effects of the drug.
"A touch jealous?" Blain asked in an amused tone.
Kathryn lifted one eye open and looked over at Blain. "What did you say?" She asked in a very dangerous voice.
Now Blain was no dummy and knew when to back off. "Nothing." He muttered.
Kathryn thought so and closed her eyes to enjoy the rest of the trip. But she couldn't relax. Her thoughts kept wandering to Sebastian. Why did it bother her so much that he was with Annette. For many months she only viewed him as a toy, someone she could play with. He really wasn't important to her in the grand scheme of things. Sure he was probably a great lay, but you needed more then that to make it in life. Kathryn guessed the fact that he actually turned her down is what bothered her. After years of him chasing after her and when she offered herself to him, He turned her down! This Annette thing bothered her to no end. What did she actually have to offer her? Besides baked apple pies? The whole thing irrated the hell out of her. She figured that after a while the whole realationship would blow over, but now Annette had to go and get paralzyed. She probably would milk it for all its worth.
"God damn it!" Kathryn muttered and got to her feet.
"What's the matter?" Blain asked.
Kathryn waved him away and gathered her things. "I just can't relax." She said annoyed. God damn Sebastian was on her mind and she just couldn't shake it.
****************
Sebastian hated hospitals. They were too depressing and sick people just made him uncomfortable. To him a sickness was a sign of weakness and he hated anyone that was so weak. So it was ironic that he was coming to one to see the girl he loved, and it wasn't clear how long she would even be in there.
"Where is she?" He asked as soon as he saw Annette's parents sitting somberly in the hallway.
"In that room." Mr. Hardgrove pointed out. "She just came back from operation."
"I'll only be a minute." Sebastian said and made his way to Annette's room.
Seeing the girl he loved laying there looking so small and bruised tore at Sebastian. He sat down next to her bed and looked over at her. It was his fault she was here. Sure Kathryn had some of the blame, but he mostly to blame.
"Annette I will make it up to you." Sebastian whispered over to a sleeping Annette.
