Chapter 9: Shooting Yourself in the Foot
Summary: Sebastian goes to see Kathryn but is not what he imagined.
Freedom. That's what Sebastian tasted when he left Annette's house. He sat in his car and couldn't believe it was so easy. Annette handed his freedom on a silver platter and even gave her blessing. It couldn't get any better then that.
He drove back home as fast as his little car would carry him. He had to go see Kathryn. Things probably would be strange since they were related but he was sure they could work them out.
Only when he walked into his house the first thing he saw was a sobbing Tiffany sobbing on the couch and their butler standing by her and patting her shoulder..
"What the hell is going on?" Sebastian asked looking at his clueless butler who stood there with a stricken look on his face.
"It seems Master Valmomt that your father moved out earlier today." The butler said.
Sebastian wasn't that shocked only a little disappointed that his father chose now to finally move out. He actually was suprised that the marriage lasted as long as it did, but it peeved him that it might put a crimp in his plans. No matter he needed to see Kathryn and ran up the stairs to her room.
"Kathryn!" Sebastian called as he burst through the room.
Kathryn stood clad in a robe and didn't seem the least bit fazed by Sebastian's sudden outburst. "Shouldn't you be with your father?" Kathryn asked coldly.
Sebastian was slightly disturbed by Kathryn's cold reaction towards him. It wasn't like she was a huge fan of the marriage anyway so what was her problem? "I just came back from seeing Annette and-"
Kathryn held up a hand to stop Sebastian. "Look you can entertain me later with stories about your girlfriend later. I have a hysterical mother to comfort." Kathryn said abruptly and pushed past him out of the room.
Sebastian stood there in shock. Here he was coming to her with his heart on his sleeve and she couldn't even give him the time of day? He was suprised at first but it slowly turned to anger. Fuck her! If this was the way she was gonna treat him then screw it! He stormed off into his room and angrily packed his things. After he left the Valmonts would be finished with the Merteuil's and he couldn't be happier!
****************
"There there Mother." Kathryn said and patted her back. "You are better off without him."
"I know." A tear stained Tiffany sighed."It's just that there was so many social functions soon and how can I attend them by myself?" Tiffany wailed.
Give me a break! Leave it to Kathryn's mother to be only worried about how things would look while her marriage was crumbling. Kathryn was just about to make a smart remark to her mother when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Kathryn?" Annette's voice said hesitantly on the phone.
Kathryn rolled her eyes. Great now she had to deal with Dorthy now. "I'll get him." Kathryn said shortly and dropped the phone and walked to the front foyer. "Where's Sebastian?" Kathryn demanded when she saw her butler standing there.
"Master Valmont just left with his packed suitcase." The butler bowed.
Sebastian left? Without saying good bye to her? Kathryn felt a vague sense of sadness but firrmly pushed it away. It was better this way. She walked to the phone and picked it up. "Sebastian no longer lives here anymore." Kathryn barked into the phone.
"Sebastian moved out?" Annette asked confused.
Did this girl speak English? "Yes Annette and I don't know where he went."
"He didn't talk to you?" Annette asked. After Sebastian left her house Annette thought Sebastian would run to Kathryn not move out.
"Look Annette enough with the third degree. He's gone and that's that." Kathryn said annoyed. She moved the phone away from her ear to hang up when she heard Annette mutter something. "What was that?" Kathryn demanded. Was this farm girl trying to insult her?
Annette was getting madder and madder with Kathryn's surly attitude. She didn't deserve Sebastian. He might have his faults but noone deserved Kathryn. "I said." Annette said in an equally snotty voice."That I am glad he moved out because the farther he is away from you the better."
"You liitle bitch!" Kathryn hissed into the phone. "I suppose lying to Sebastian so he'll stay with you is better."
Now Annette wasn't gonna tell Kathryn that they broke up but she pushed Annette way too far. "A lot you know!" Annette shrieked back." I broke up with Sebastian because I knew he loved you but you know what? I could treat him a lot better then you could ever!" With that Annette slammed down the phone.
Kathryn stood there stunned listening to the dial tone. He loved her? Why did she feel her heart lift when she heard that? Sebastian loved her! But he was gone and she pushed him out the door! Kathryn hung up the phone and stood there in stunned silence.
"What happend?" Tiffany demanded. Why was her daughter sitting there in a daze when she needed some sympathy for the shabby way Edward treated her? "KATHRYN!"
Kathryn looked at her mother with a blank look. "I'll be right back." Kathryn said abesent mindedly and ran upstairs to Sebastian's room.
Sure enough all the drawers were open and empty. He was really gone. "Sebastian." Kathryn murmured and much to her annooyance her eyes filled with tears. Kathryn imaptiently brushed them away. What the hell did she do?
