Chapter 9: Suprising Confession
Summary: Kathryn tries to get to the bottom of Annette's confession
I sat in the dean's office completely floored. Annette was pregnant? "Is that true?" I turned to Annette and asked her.
She gave me a dirty look before answering. "What is it to you?" She snapped.
"Now Annette, Kathryn is only trying to help." Mr. Hardgrove said gently. In return I gave him a sunny smile.
Annette looked at her father and rolled her eyes. So she didn't share with her father, this afternoon's events. I was suprised slightly that Annette didn't go running to her father. No matter, I didn't need to be around this family drama. I stood up and faced the dean. "I am sorry I can't be more of a help." I said politely.
"Thank you." Mr. Hardgrove said and excused me.
Once I was out in the hallway I sat there thinking. Something in the back of my mind was nagging at me. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something didn't seem right. I walked back to my class, all while racking my brains trying to figure out what was bothering me. Grrrrrr! This was gonna bother me all day until I remembered.
**********
It was only when I was in the bathroom stall, snorting some coke off my pinky did it finally come to me. Earlier today when I was having it out with Sebastian and accused him of sleeping with both me and Annete. It was his answer that was nagging at my memory. 'I never' was what he said, but only he didn't finish it. Never what? Never sleep with Annette? But I was them together in her bedroom. True I didn't technically see them fucking, but wasn't it close enough? I tried to push the thoughts out of my mind and went to the sink to splash cold water on my face. Snap out if it! I sternly told myself. But I couldn't let it rest and I needed to find Sebastian!
Finding Sebastian was easier said then done. I called his house and cellphone but he didn't answer either. I was at a loss of who to call. Truth be told I really didn't know much about Sebastian and sure as hell didn't know who he hung out, if anyone. He struck me as a loner, but he had to talk to someone! I sat in my room and racked my brains trying to think of somewhere Sebastian would be. That's when it came to me. I knew a guy named Blain that supplied me with my drugs and he mentioned Sebastian's name a couple times. I could ask him and the best part was that Blain knew how to keep his mouth shut. The only problem was Blain didn't have a phone, which meant I had to go to his shitty aprtment in the Village.

"Hi." I greeted Blain when he answered the door.
"Kathryn!" He said and gave me an uncomfortable look.
"May I come in?" I asked and pushed him out of the way. Once I walked in I saw why Blain looked uncomfortable. Sitting on the couch was Sebastian and he didn't seem very happy to see me. "Hello." I said quietly. In resonse he turned his face away. I looked over to Blain for help, only he wasn't there! Blain was a smart guy and knew when to make himself scarce and I heard a door shut and lock.
"What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked sourly.
"Did you sleep with Annette?" I blurted out.
"What does it matter?" Sebastian demanded.
I sighed to myself. Sebastian wasn't gonna make it easy, and honestly I couldn't blame him. It wasn't like we left on the best of terms. "Did you?" I demanded.
Sebastian threw his hands in the air. "What the fuck does it matter to you?"
"Becuase asshole she's going around saying she's carrying your baby!"
That got his attention and I heard something drop to the ground from the room Blain was locked up in. "What?!" Sebastian asked me. I had his full attention now.
"You heard me."
Sebastian looked at me to see if I was serious. After he was convinced I was he answered. "That little bitch!" Sebastian said to himself.
"No matter." I said hurriedly. "We have to go to Annette's and confront her." I said and grabbed his arm.
"We?" Sebastian asked as he pulled his arm away. "Since when did you care what happends to me?"
Sebastian could really be annoying! Here I was trying to help him and he was giving me a hard time! "Do you want my help?"
"Do you want to help me?" He countered back.
"You can be a real pain in the ass!" I exploded at him angrily.
Sebastian chuckled to himself and held up a hand. "Never mind Kathryn. I was just not used to you being nice to me." Sebastian said.
If I didn't want to see Annette's face when Sebastian confronted her, I would have slugged him. Instead I let him pull my arm as he led me out of the house. Yes seeing Annette's reaction was why I was going. Wasn't it?
