Tough Love
Chapter 6- Mistakes
Summary: Kathryn's revenge doesn't go exactly as planned
"SHIT!" I swore loudly as I threw my stuff on the floor and slammed the door to my room. I leaned back on it and sighed.
"I guess I have to move on." I said to myself as I got up and took a long hot shower. Aaliyah and Sebastian Valmont are gone. Good riddance!
~Flashback~
Kathryn smiled towards Aaliyah as her adoring public gave her a warm welcome as she stepped up to the podium. She smiled at the audience and put a finger towards her lips to signal them to quiet down.
"As class president, I would like to discuss with my fellow students of Manchester Prep the importance of abstinence. Abstinence ensures both the male and female body of this school a prosperous school year and future. I" Kathryn heard a voice in the background and turned around to see a video playing. On the screen was a video of Aaliyah having sex, with Sebastian. Kathryn gasped in surprise. In the background was a female voice speaking.
"I want to know why you are going to preach about something you know nothing about. I'm student body president and I should be talking to the class. You don't even know what the fuck safe sex is. You're a slut and you've already been through half of the guys at Manchester. I want you to resign." Kathryn's voice echoed around the auditorium. And soon after came another voice recognized as Aaliyah's.
"So what? The guys at this school are so easy to seduce. And you're right; I don't give a fuck about practicing abstinence because it's a waste of time. I pity the people who haven't had sex because they don't know what they're missing. And I'm not resigning because you want to look like a fucking saint. How dare you patronize me? You'll be sorry Kathryn"
Kathryn looked at Aaliyah. Her eyes were glued to the screen. She turned to look at Kathryn and her eyes were filled with hatred. She turned toward the audience and looked at Sebastian then ran offstage while people in the audience were yelling obscenities.
Kathryn turned to look at Sebastian and watched him walk out of the auditorium through the back. Ignoring the headmaster's questions, Kathryn ran off the stage and pushed through the crowd. She opened the door and walked down the front steps. She ran to the parking lot and saw Sebastian's car pull out his parking space and onto the street and speed away. Since it was the weekend, Kathryn called the limo to come pick her up. She knew Sebastian would be in the country. She just hoped it wasn't too late to talk to Sebastian before Aaliyah did.
**
Sitting in the back of the limo just a few minutes from the estate, Kathryn sat back and tried to figure out how exactly her revenge on Aaliyah got messed up. She was afraid that Sebastian would think that she did that on purpose. As the estate came into view, she saw Sebastian's car and another car in front. Kathryn ran up the stairs into the main hall and looked around. Everything in the estate gave her a warm memory of the escapades she and Sebastian had. She heard yelling upstairs and silently climbed the stairs. She walked into the hall and stood outside Aaliyah's room to listen to what they were yelling about.
"She did it! I'm telling you! She just wants me gone. I'm telling you Sebastian. I care about you. Not her! We were in love and then SHE got in the way. Don't tell me that you don't feel anything for me anymore. We were happy, now everything is different. What happened to us?" Aaliyah asked, her eyes pleading with him.
"I don't know Aaliyah." Sebastian said. He looked up to see Kathryn standing at the doorway.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here anymore!" Aaliyah yelled charging at Kathryn. Sebastian moved to hold her back and Aaliyah turned back towards Kathryn with a smile on her face.
"Kathryn can I have a moment of time?" Aaliyah asked smiling sweetly at her. Sebastian looked at both of them and walked by Kathryn not even looking at her. Kathryn walked in the room and closed it behind her. She was ready for whatever Aaliyah had planned for her.
" I guess I underestimated you Kathryn. I know what you're doing, and let me tell you this, it won't work." She said calmly. Kathryn gave her a look of surprise as Aaliyah laughed and went to sit down. Aaliyah looked back up at Kathryn and stared fiercely at her. Kathryn returned the stare, realizing she was trying to get her to back off. Finally Aaliyah sighed deeply and looked down at her nails.
"You know Kathryn, we are very alike. But there is just one thing that makes me different from you." She stood up and walked to Kathryn, stopping just a few inches from her face. Aaliyah stared back at her as Kathryn walked closer to her showing that she wasn't going to win.
"What makes us different Valmont?" Kathryn asked. Aaliyah gave Kathryn a wide grin then pushed her against the door.
"Why the hell did you fuck Court? WHY! You knew he was with me! This is all about revenge huh? You little" Aaliyah screamed as Kathryn pushed her off of her and hit Aaliyah so hard she landed on the couch.
"Because you fucked Sebastian. And you STILL are fucking him! How does this make us different? So I fucked Court to get back at you, and you know what Aaliyah?" Kathryn asked her leaning against the door smiling. Aaliyah stood up from the couch holding her hand over her left eye, and looked up at her with so much hatred. She walked over to the bar and grabbed a bottle of vodka.
"What?" Aaliyah asked as she poured herself a drink at the bar. Kathryn walked up close to her from behind and spoke in her ear.
"This was all about revenge Valmont. I needed Sebastian to get even with you. Then that wasn't enough, so I slept with Court and was going to parade fliers around school exposing his indiscretions. But, I thought that assembly thing would be better, but they played the wrong tape. Why do you think Sebastian was so quick to come running to me? Because you were boring him. He told me that you will never measure up to me, and guess what? " Kathryn asked her grinning evilly.
"What?" Aaliyah asked turning around to look her enemy in the face.
"Court said the same thing. And that you were so loose his tiny dick fell out!" Kathryn ended with a laugh. She moved back before Aaliyah could hit her. As Aaliyah jumped in front of Kathryn to slap her, a hand reached out and caught her hand. Kathryn looked over to see Sebastian glaring at her.
"How much did you hear?" she asked staring at Aaliyah. She stared right back at her until Sebastian grabbed Aaliyah's other arm as she swung to hit Kathryn again.
"Enough." He replied, his eyes filled with hatred and disgust. It was then and the first time in Kathryn's life that she actually regretted something that she had done.
"This is not over Kathryn! You'll pay for ruining my reputation!" Aaliyah yelled at her, trembling in fury.
Sebastian let go of Aaliyah and stormed out the door and downstairs with Kathryn trailing close behind. Sebastian turned around suddenly and Kathryn almost ran into him, but backed up when she saw the look on his face.
"So what am I to you, a conquest? A way to get back at Aaliyah for fucking your boyfriend?" He demanded looking at her coldly.
"What I did, I am SO sorry for it. I hardly knew you when I planned all this out. The thing at the assembly was a complete mistake. I"
"No. YOU are a mistake Kathryn." Kathryn recoiled from him and blinked back the tears that were forming in her eyes. "Just answer this question Kathryn." Sebastian asked his voice more calm.
"What is it?" Kathryn said almost in a whisper.
" That night in the pool, did you really mean what you said about being in love? Do you really love me, or was that part of your revenge too?" He asked, his eyes burning into her, suddenly making her nervous.
"Yes, I did mean it. I do love you Sebastian. WAIT!" Kathryn said looking back up at him, her eyes filled with fury and anger. "You cheated on me with Aaliyah. God what am I apologizing for, like it's all my fault? That tape was made 2 fucking weeks ago! How could you keep seeing her? You told me that you were done with her. You betrayed me!" Kathryn yelled, suddenly remembering his betrayal. She backed away from him as he reached out to touch her.
"It was a mistake. We..um, I" Sebastian said searching for words.
"That's right, now you know what it's like to be betrayed. This happened because of what YOU did! You know what the real mistake is? US! We could never work. You got it back three fold for what you have done to me. I'm through with you Sebastian. For good." Kathryn said. Her voice filled with hatred and sadness.
"You put that tape out there for all to see and exposed us! I'm tired of the mind games Kathryn. I know we both made mistakes, and I made most of them. Aaliyah and I are going back to England for a while and I think we should have some time apart." Sebastian conceited. Kathryn walked by Sebastian on the way to the door. She turned around and put her hand on his cheek and smiled.
"I do love you Sebastian, and I always will." He smiled as he brought his hand up to touch hers. She snatched her hand away and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I hope you two will be happy together, and I don't EVER want to see you again." She saw Aaliyah coming down the stairs with a smile on her face and gave her one last look.
"I love you too Kathryn, and I always will." She gave him a light kiss before walking out the door and out of his life for good. Or at least that's what she thought.
