Previously:
I got up and started to walk away from him, being near him made me worse, "Look maybe it would be best if we stayed away from each other. Carrie and I may not be friends anymore but that doesn't mean that I don't care about her, that's why I told her. So for her sake stay away from me, you were cool but together we are just volatile for Carrie. I don't want to hurt her more than I already have." And with that I walked away, to where? Anywhere, I just needed to put as much distance between Sebastian Kidd and myself as possible.
Sebastian's P.O.V
As mad as I was at Maggie for spoiling the reunion I had with Carrie I felt a fraction of guilt for the way I had just treated her, but again only a fraction because she did tell Carrie we kissed which made Carrie run and hide in Manhattan for the summer. I needed a drink so I headed back home only to hear my dad and his newest bimbo girlfriend going at it, I can't stay here so I might as well go drive somewhere and drink my thoughts under the table.
Walt's P.O.V
After lunch with Bennet and Carrie I couldn't help but have Bennet's words of wisdom towards Carrie repeat in my head. That girls stay with someone that doesn't treat them the way they deserve and they still stay reminded me of Maggie. Maggie stayed with me even though she thought that I wasn't attracted to her and in a way she was right, but she was also wrong. I loved her personality, that fire that she had deep within her that surfaced when she was angry or protective. I just feel terrible for hurting her but she has to know that I tried to fight it, fight who I am because I didn't want to lose her. But in the end I did and I can't help that. I just wish I could...
Carrie P.O.V
I was totally excited so much so I all but ran out of the building when my shift was over. Not that I don't love it there but Mouse had convinced her parents to come down for the weekend so she could 'see the culture and visit the museum' I was picking her up from the train station and taking her back to Larissa's loft. Once I was at the station I all but jumped on Mouse, I missed her so much. As great as it was with Walt, Mouse was like my Jiminy Cricket always giving me the logical side of things which is why I have been 'thinking like Mouse would' when I have a problem I need to really think about and so far it's worked. As we drove to the loft I asked her about everything back home. "Sebastian came up to me looking for you; he looked so lost without you I had to tell him you were here." I was going to comment but she stopped me before I could get a word out. "I know I shouldn't have but he was distraught, I told him to leave you alone and to give you space. I also warned him that if he was serious about you to not revert to old habits and hook up with the next pretty girl that bats her eyelashes at him. He swore he would never do anything, he practically said you were the one for him."
As mad as I am at him I couldn't help the smile that made itself present on my face. "Thank you Mouse, for telling him I need space. Sebastian can't expect things to turn in his favour when not only once but twice he tried to keep something from me and not only that he kissed my best friend." I looked out the window as we passed some neon signs. Sometimes I wish we did live in the fairytale land and that happily ever after really existed, I guess we focus too much on the love part of the stories that we never pay attention to the battles they had to go through to get to their happy ending. I love Sebastian so much my heart hurts and I want to share my happily ever after with him I just wish that we weren't stuck at the part of the fairytale where Snow White has taken a bite from the apple and is now under a sleeping spell, only this time I think it will take a lot more than a magical kiss from my true love to wake me up. I had to get my mind off of Sebastian so I turned to Mouse with a smile, "How are things with the gorgeous West?" I knew I had picked a good subject change when I saw the giant grin stretch across her face. "Things with West are great, considering that we came out to my parents who are the most racist people in Castlebury. Sure I got an earful from my parents after West left but when I mention he was just as smart as I am and that we aren't going to affect our academic lives for the sake of our social ones they shut up. I don't have to hide the fact I am going on a date with him either so we basically spend all our time together, be it studying or going to the diner." I was so glad to see Mouse happy, she puts so much effort into her school work and afterschool groups I was glad that West was very much the same and could handle Mouse when she goes on her benders.
Once we were in the loft Mouse and I were greeted by the most amazing smell ever, while I was picking up Mouse it seems that Walt had ordered pizza so as soon as we were through the door we sat down and ate with Walt and shared gossip from back home, it was great to spend time with my friends but I couldn't help but miss Maggie after being friends with her so long it felt incomplete without her. Just have to roll with the times and stick to my word, Maggie and I were over.
AN:
Sorry got sidetracked by Telethon that runs where I am from, it's basically a fundraiser held in Perth Australia over the course of a weekend to raise money to help find cures for illnesses in young children and it's been going on for nearly 50 years. They basically get Aussie celebs to perform or man the phones or do stuff to raise money and they managed to get just over 20 million raised which is an all time record. Anyways, season 2 is nearly here and I for one am going to try and incorporate as much as I possibly can from it into the story because I want it to be close to the show but also have a wide canal for anything you guys might want to have happen.
Much love,
