Chapter 3: Sebastian the Nurse Maid
Summary: Sebastian begins to regret the vow he made as Annette begins to cling a little too much
Boredom. That's the word that flashed in Sebastian's mind when he pulled up to the hospital. He began to feel ashamed for thinking that and tried to push the word out of his mind. But he couldn't. The past week all Sebastian did was go to school and rush to the hospital after school and sit by Annette's bedside and tried to entertain her. The stress was starting to wear on Sebastian and it was showing. The once muscular Sebastian now had a gaunt face with dark circles under his eyes. He now smoked like a chimney and while he was never a friendly person he rarely if ever smiled. Until he came to see Annette and was falsely cheerful. It was too much and the strain began to eat away at him.
The one time that he planned to take a break and see his longtime friend Blain, Annette got hysterical.
"But what am I supposed to do while you're gone?" She wailed and tears began to fill her eyes.
"I will only be gone for a few hours." Sebastian tried to soothe her. He didn't want to let on how much he really wanted to go. He missed his friend and needed some time away from the gray walls of Annette's hospital room.
Annette reluctantly allowed Sebastian to go to Blain's house after school and Sebastian had the time of his life! They didn't do anything special, just sit around drink some beers and bullshit. It was heaven to Sebastian as he had to every day rush to the hospital and sepnd hours sitting there watch some mindless sitcom every night. Too soon the night ended and Sebastian returned to his schedule of school and hospital.
Sebastian felt very ashamed for thinking how boring his life was now. How did Annette feel being cooped up in that hospital and maybe never walking again? Sebastian kept those thoughts as he made his way to Annette. In his arms he clutched some magazines and a teddy bear he picked up in the gift shop.
"Hey." Sebastian said cheerfully as he entered the hospital room.
"Sebastian!" Annette said happily when she saw her boyfriend enter the room.
Sebastian handed the items to Annette and bent over to kiss Annette's cheek. "How's my favorite patient?" He asked.
"Missing you." Annette replied as she admired the small teddy bear. "I can't imagine my life without you." Annette sighed happily.
Sebastian smiled at Annette, but inside he felt a chill at her words. He would never let on, but he saw slowly going crazy every day that he had to come here and act like some sort of nurse maid.
******************
That's the thoughts that kept Sebastian awake in his bed. After leaving Annette he came home and was exhausted. He went to bed, but couldn't sleep. All he thought about was a smiling Annette declare how she couldn't picture life without him. Why did that put a knot in his stomach and make him toss and turn? His thoughts were interupted by a sharp knock on his bedroom door and it flew open.
"Sebastian have you seen-" Kathryn began to ask as she entered the room. She paused when she looked around and saw all the lights off. "What the hell are you doing in bed so early?" She demanded.
In the dark Sebastian punched his pillow and braced himself for this visit from his stepsister. "Not that it's any business of yours, but I happend to be very tired." Sebastian said coldly.
"Bullshit!" Kathryn said and flicked the lights on. When she saw him groan at the bright lights and cover his eyes with his pillow she saw suprised. "Your really in bed!"
"Wow your a quick one." Sebastian said sarcastically and move the pillow further over his eyes.
"It's freaking not even nine why the hell are you so tired?" Kathryn demanded confused.
Sebastian groaned out loud. Like he needed her shit? "Kathryn," Sebastian began in a firm voice. "Turn the light off and get the hell out!"
Kathryn wasn't going anywhere. The Sebastian she knew would never be in bed this early! What the hell did he do that made him so tired? All he did today was go visit his precious Annette like he did every day. "There is something wrong with you." Kathryn insisted and reached over to pull the pillow off his face.
"KATHRYN!" Sebastian roared angrily and sat up in his bed.
Kathryn gasped out loud. Not at his anger but at his haggard appearance. "You look like shit!"
"Thanks." Sebastian said nastily and covered himself with the blanket.
"Maybe you shouldn't visit Annette so often."
Sebastian couldn't help laugh bitterly at that. "Easier said then done." He said sarcastically.
Kathryn was no dummy and immediately sensed some bitterness in Sebastian and moved in for the kill. "What do you mean?" She asked.
Sebastian realized his mistake too late. The last thing he needed was Kathryn sensing something was wrong and pouncing on it. "Nothing." Sebastian muttered and tried to snuggle up in the blankets.
Kathryn was quiet for a few minutes and stood there thinking. It didn't take her long to put two and two together and fully realized what was bothering Sebastian. It was Annette and he was not dealing well with their current situation. It didn't suprise her at all. SHe knew their relationship wasn't gonna last. Sure it got some shot of life when she got hit by the car because Sebastian felt guilty and felt the right thing to do was stand by Annette. But Sebastian was a man of actiona and playing nurse maid was not his scene.
"Maybe you guys need some space." Kathryn suggested gently.
Now that cracked Sebastian up! "Are you actually giving me realationship advice?" He asked in mid snicker and couldn't help but laught at that though.
"Fuck off Sebastian!" Kathryn yelled angrily. "Like your the expert!"
"At least I have one that is lasting more then the morning after!" Sebastian said snidely.
Kathryn was really steamed! Here she was actually trying to be helpful and he laughs at her! "Like your's is any better! Brought together by deceit and the only thing keeping you together is your guilt!" Kathryn said angrily.
Sebastian stopped laughing and turned a deep red. "Get the fuck out!" Sebastian yelled out.
Kathryn knew how far she could push Sebastian and knew it took a lot for him to get mad. So she knew when to listen and without a word mad a hasty exit. She made such a hasty exit that she forgot her original reason for coming into the room was to look for her bracelet that she seemed to have lost. Instead though she learned a valuable piece of information and a new agenda. To save Sebastian from his pitiful relationship with Annette!
Sebastian lay in his bed seething with anger. How dare she judge her realtionship with Annette when she was only jealous over the fact that he chose Annette over her. He knew Kathryn hated losing and it galled her that he was standing by Annette. That's what he told himself, but Kathryn's words still was on his mind. Drawn by deceit! Sure they started only because he bet Kathryn that he could seduce her. But it was more then that! Or was it really?
