NOTE: This fic centers around Starr, who has been aged to sixteen as she has in all of the fics I write, hearing from Blair that Todd raped her on New Year's Eve. The fic is short, but centers around the confrontation Starr has with Todd and the aftermath of it when she runs to Travis for comfort. Please note that in this fic, the New York kidnapping happend to Starr before Christmas, so she already knows Travis, who has moved to Llanview with his mom. It's a very sweet fic, but with serious subject matter. The song 'Frozen' by Madonna is featured in it. Enjoy!
Chapter One
...You only see what your eyes want to see...
...How can life be what you want it to be...
Starr leaned her head on the back of the door, starting to breathe heavy. They had been screaming and yelling all morning. Her father hadn't called. Something was wrong. She could hear Dorian pacing through the door, screaming hidious things at her mother. Things that weren't true. Things that could never be true.
...You're frozen...
....When your heart's not open...
She wanted to bust through the door. She wanted to tell Dorian to shutup. That she was a lying bitch and needed to get her facts straight. Then she heard her mother admit it to Dorian. What? This couldn't be happening. Her knees were going week. She felt like she was going to pass out. Like more air was escaping her lungs every second. She couldn't breathe.
....You're so consumed with how much you get....
....You waste your time with hate and regret....
....You're broken....
....When your heart's not open....
She needed to go to him. She needed to tell him what they were saying about him. The horrible, disgusting things. They were making him sound like some kind of monster. That wasn't him. That wasn't her father. He could never do something like that to her mother. He loved her too much.
Starr quickly grabs her coat out of the closet and heads out the door. She stands outside the door, shivering from the cold. She heard the snow crunching beneathe her feet as she made her way to her car. She got inside, starting it up, going to get answers from the only person who could give them.
....Now there's no point in placing the blame....
....And you should know I suffer the same....
....If I lose you....
....My heart will be broken....
Starr steps off of the elevator walking towards the door to the penthouse. She hesitates before knocking, waiting for an answer. She hears something being thrown from the other side of the door.
" GO AWAY!" screams Todd from inside.
Starr leans her back against the wall, not even able to respond to him. She felt like she was in a daze, in some cozmic universe she couldn't be pulled out of. She ran her back against the wall by the door, sliding down to the floor. Sitting there, waiting for him..
