The sun had been lighting the New York skyline for several hours already that day but the world seemed not ready to wake. Sebastian had spent the night in his old room in the false expectations that his dear step sister would return home and call out for him in the way she had once done in the past to entertain herself with toying with him. He barely slept that night his mind drifting around in all sorts of directions as it attempted to piece that days activities together. He had only been asleep several hours when the soft glow of sunlight peaked through the bedrooms curtains and lazily made its way to his face illuminating it and gently bringing him awake. Groggily he climbed from his bed and made his way to the door. Brining his hand to his forehead he rubbed it attempting to wipe away the sleepiness that still lingered before returning his hand to the door knob and turning it. He began to walk away to the exit but stopped once curiosity gaining control and looked through Kathryn's bed room door only to find it empty the bed covers untouched and the room seemingly undisturbed. Had it all been a dream... he wandered, if so it was a rather bad dream at that. Sighing he made his way out of the building and found his car. He was in no mood to go home and in no mood to be alone he needed to speak to someone about the night before. Knowing Annette would not understand he slowly drove to the only person who would Blaine Tuttle, completely unaware of who was already there.
Annette too rose early that morning after a surprisingly good sleep. Even though she went to bed frustrated and confused she managed to sleep through the night and woke up well rested as she usually did when she slept in Sebastian's bed. Though he was not with her she could smell the sent of him on the sheets and comforter the room brought warmth to her as she lay back against the head board taking in her surroundings. After several minutes she climbed lazily from the covers and made her way to the bathroom. Staring at herself in the mirror as she washed her face with cold water her mind drifted over the events of the past year from the day she made Kathryn pay to the day she met Cara... and then to last night. With one last splash of water she turned off the sink and toweled off her face. Quickly she brushed out her hair before pulling it back into a ponytail. Silently she turned and walked out throwing on a sweatshirt she had left there one time before then left the apartment. She knew Sebastian wasn't there and it only added to the millions of things filtering through her mind. So she decided to clear it the only way she knew how she set off for a walk hoping it would help her get a perspective on things. Hoping it might help her figure out what exactly happened to Cara.
Sebastian climbed the stairs of Blaine's home slowly cigarette in mouth, all the while his mind trying to grasp around what went on last night. Hesitantly he opened Blaine's bed room door. Immediately upon entering he saw not one but three bodies lying asleep upon the bed. However at first he was not able to see of whom these bodies belonged for the room was far to dark and there was little to no light seeping into the room. Quietly he made his way over to the windows and quickly drew them open. With in a second the room was bathed in bright stinging sunlight shining upon the motionless forms. All at once Sebastian's mouth dropped no words escaping as the motionless bodies found movement and stirred awake. Blaine was the first awake and his face twisted into a confused expression as he saw Sebastian standing there in utter shock. Blaine climbed off the bed and greeted his friend.
"Jesus Valmont you think you could have been a little more kind in waking me up?"
He responded annoyed waving his arm towards the piercing rays of sun that engulfed the room.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Sebastian questioned back pointing towards the two female bodies remaining on the bed that have just begun to stir. Blaine's gaze followed Sebastian's gesture to the sleeping forms of Kathryn and Cara.
"Damn something like this could ruin my reputation."
He teased as Sebastian remained confused.
"I thought you were gay..."
"I am."
Blaine replied making a joking gesture as if he was being stabbed in the heart.
"Then what the hell is going on here and I thought you didn't know Cara?"
"Did I say that whoops she just must have slipped my mind?"
"Slipped your mind?"
Cara said now fully awake she stood up and walked towards Blaine and draped an arm over his shoulder.
"I'm hurt and here I thought we were friends."
She teased while Kathryn awoke groaning she cursed under her breath about the ungodliness of sunlight in the morning. Cara turned her gaze to her friend then back to Sebastian putting on a devilish smile she stepped forward to him their lips close to touching.
"Looks like the princess is up do you think you two could play nice this time?"
She said leaning in more before turning and beginning to exit the room. However before she could Sebastian grabbed her arm and pulled her back. An angry look emerged upon her face.
"Just where the hell do you think your going?"
He questioned.
"I have places to be."
"No you're going to stay right here and explain some things."
Cara stepped in their bodies almost touching.
"Am I?"
She said before kissing him hard on the lips as Kathryn began to come to her senses. Breaking away Cara smiled mischievously.
"Happy hunting Sebastian."
She uttered words that started it all while wiggling free of his grip and leaving the room.
Annette walked along the sidewalk taking in her surroundings she got lost in herself and her thoughts. She didn't realize who was in front of her and ran into him knocking her self over. Looking up she saw a handsome athletically built man with dark black hair reaching his hand down to help her up with an amused smile. She had seen this man before with Cara it was Nathan.
"Hello again."
He said while she grasped his hand and was standing once again. His smile made Annette uneasy but being the polite one as always she responded to him.
"Hello, and sorry for bumping into you."
She responded quickly before beginning to walk away again. However he was not about to let her go so easily.
"Its ok, you looked deep in thought what were you thinking about?"
He questioned nonchalantly.
"Nothing just a friend of mine."
She said about to turn again.
"Cara?"
As the name left his lips she stopped dead in her tracks and turned to him.
"If you must know yes how do you know her any ways?"
She said her suspicions rising.
"We are old friends... I bet there is a lot you don't know about her Annette."
He stated using her name making her even more uncomfortable as to how he knew it.
"Is that so, like what?"
A smile crept on his lips once again.
"Come on, come walk with me and I will tell you about her."
He said outstretching his hand to her. She did not take it but wearily walked up next to him as he dropped his arm and the two began to walk.
Cara had been doing her own walking and ended up in a small coffee shop. As she sat there sipping a small cup of coffee she spotted a young man in the corner. He had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes set to kill. He was very handsome and his body screamed that of an athlete. Cara's lips twisted into a smile as she got up and walked towards him.
"Hello my name is Cara."
She said extending a hand which he took returning her smile.
"Hi I'm Trevor."
As he said his name a voice screamed inside of her head Bingo! Phase two is about to begin.
"Do you mind if I join you?"
"Not at all."
He responded neither of their smiles ever failing.
