Chapter 8-The Talk Part 2
Sebastian's POV
I took a deep breath before I continued, "Well, I'm the one who put him there."
It took Riley a few seconds to register what I just said.
"What?" she said as she pulled her hand away. I looked into her sad blue green eyes before I continued.
I told Riley everything, from seeing New Directions at the Lima Bean to the big confrontation at McKinley. When I finally finished, she remained silent for a while, probably letting it sink in.
"Why Sebastian? Why throw the slushy in the first place?" She finally said.
"Do you remember when we grabbed coffee at the Lima Bean after the semifinal game?" I asked.
"Yea, of course. I tried to give you back to your lacrosse sweatshirt," she smiled.
"Well, while you were in the bathroom, Blaine, Rachel and Kurt walked in. They didn't see me but as fate would have it, I could see and hear them. Anyway, I overheard them talking and –"
"Wait," Riley cut me off, "was this before or after the confrontation at the Lima Bean?"
"It was the day after I saw them at the Lima Bean but the day before the incident," I said to her. She nodded as a sign to continue.
"Well, as I was saying, I overheard them talking about MJ when I saw you come out of the restroom. I saw you stop and talk to them and decline their invitation to join them."
I stopped for a minute to gather my thought and debated on whether or not I should actually tell her what happened. Riley must have known that I was feeling this way or something because she reached across the table and grabbed my hand to intertwine our fingers. In knew then that it was ok to continue.
"Well, while you were heading back to our table, I heard Blaine and Kurt about you. At first, they were talking about how you were wearing the sweatshirt and Blaine said that it was Tommy's. Then the conversation took a turn for the worse. Kurt turned to see who you were sitting with. When he saw that you were having coffee with me, let's say Riley, you don't wanna hear what he said."
"Is it that bad?" she asked.
I just nodded and then she said, "'Bastian , just tell me," as she rubbed small circles on my hand.
"Ok but don't say that I didn't warn you," I heard Riley let out a small laugh and I continued.
"He said and I quote 'Why the hell is Riley sitting with that meerkat? She must not now that he's gay or that on more than one occasion, tried to steal Blaine away from me. She must be looking for someone to sleep with after her break up with Logan. She must be desperate enough to have sex with someone, no matter if that person is gay.'"
