The sun painfully crept up on the Valmont/Merteuil home as Cara lay in bed hugging a pillow. The sun's rays began to creep though the curtain and shine on her face biding her to wake. She rolled over rubbing her eyes and looked up to the ceiling just as the phone rang. Letting out a sigh of frustration she rolled over to answer it.

*Phone Conversation*

"Hello?"

Her clearly exhausted voice came through the phone.

"Good morning Cara."

"Oh, hello Mrs. Valmont."

Cara answered back trying to sound as cheerful as possible.

"How are things going at the house for you Cara?"

"Their just fine. How are you and Mr. Valmont enjoying your trip?"

"Just fine...We ran into your parents here and we all are having a wonderful time."

"Oh, that's nice."

"Yes it is. Oh the reason I called is my daughter should be returning earlier then I originally expected..."

"Oh?"

"Yes, I got to thinking and I think that you would be an excellent influence on her."

"Do you think she would actually listen to me I mean I haven't seen her in years?"

"Oh I'm sure. You two used to be the best of friends it was a shame you moved away maybe you could have saved her from this."

"You really think that?"

"Yes, dear. She should be back before the end of the school year and I'm positive you can turn her around."

"I'll try my best."

"Well I have to go. Bye Cara."

"Good bye."

* End Phone Conversation*

Cara rolled her eyes as soon as she hung up the phone and crawled out of bed. She looked into the mirror and realized she was still wearing Sebastian's jacket and to top it off her makeup had run and it was in streaks down her cheeks. She threw the coat off in frustration and began brushing out her hair then went to wash her face and change into her school uniform. She walked out of the bathroom refreshed and looking beautiful as usual as if nothing happened. She turned to her night stand and picked up her cross which was lying on Sebastian's journal then turned to leave. Just as she was walking out the door she saw Sebastian's jacket still lying on the bed and an evil smirk came across her face as she grabbed it and threw it on while walking out the door.

Annette was waiting in front of the school for Cara as usual. As Cara walked up Annette's mind immediately began to race seeing the jacket she was wearing. She tried to brush it off tried to think of it as nothing but it looked so much like the one Sebastian was wearing the night before. She stared out looking at Cara who was now talking to a group of her admirers, as the memories of the night before fled back.

*Flashback*

Annette sat in Sebastian's apartment wearing her pajamas, she has told her father she was staying at a friend's, as she waited for him to return. She heard a car and looked out the window as she saw Sebastian pull up the orange glow from the cigarette in his mouth clearly visible. She watched as he threw it on the ground then pushed the car door open and slammed it shut with anger. Not before long he entered the apartment anger clearly showing on his face. He flashed her a look of anger then brushed past her and flopping down on a couch. She looked at his face searching for answers his face held none. Not before long they were kissing and the night went into a blur of anger as she woke in his arms.

* Flashback end*

Annette was snapped out of her thoughts as Cara walked up to her.

"Hey Annette."

Cara said cheerfully at her.

"Huh ... Oh nothing."

Annette responded as Cara smiled and they walked into school.

Sebastian pulled his car to a stop in front of his best friend's house and walked in. Blaine looked shocked at first but his shock left as quickly as it came. "Hey Blaine."

"Should have known you didn't die."

"What can I say? I'm fucking invincible."
