Devon made her way over to the couch and sat down, watching him carefully. She had no idea what could have happened to his card, but she was sure whatever it was would turn out fine.

(Ha…. as if)

As the conversation went on, Sebastian’s expression grew more and more turbulent. “What?” he practically growled, eyes darkening dangerously. “I’m sorry, can you repeat that?”

@blue_topaz

At the end of the conversation, Sebastian lowered the phone from his ear, hands trembling. Calm down, he told himself, but it was almost impossible to do so. Anger rippled through him, burning hotter than it had in a long time. He didn’t get upset like this easily, but when he did…. he needed an outlet. So he tossed the phone onto the sofa and punched the wall once, hard enough to split open the skin on his knuckles.

Devon visibly flinched at his volume. She’d aslways been sensitive to loud sounds, but it was worse when someone was yelling. Especially if it was at her…

“Sorry…” she whispered, taking a step back again.

@blue_topaz

The blood immediately drained from Sebastian’s face. “Shit,” he breathed, hands dropping to his sides. “I-I’m sorry.”

"It's… fine. Don't worry about it," Devon murmured, avoiding meeting his gaze.

She had to calm herself down. He wasn't mad at her, wasn't yelling at her… He was upset with his mom and what happened with his card.

Devon shook her head slowly and lifted a hand to her throat, rubbing at the front of it to release some of the tension she could feel building up there. Why did this always have to happen?

"I think… I think I should go," she breathed, her hand staying at her throat. "Layla's at my parents' house. I should pick her up."

@blue_topaz

Sebastian’s face fell. “I’m sorry…” he whispered, drowning in his guilt and dread. “Go—Go pick up Layla if you want. I—Text me when you get home?”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(cries I want them to be happy, but they can't… Poor Devon… She hates that she's like this.)

"Sure. Of course," Devon agreed quietly with a slow nod as she made her way over to grab her things. "I'll see you later…"

@blue_topaz

(😭
But it’s not Dev’s fault this time, Seb messed up)

“Bye…” he whispered, casting his eyes downwards. “But—You know I’m not mad at you, right?”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(I know, but she still hates how weak she thinks she is. All of the things that make her cringe in fear make her feel weak. It's one of the reasons she likes Seb so much; he makes her feel safe, which makes her feel stronger.)

Devon paused at the door, rubbing at her throat again before dropping her hand. She sighed and leaned her forehead against the doorframe, giving a small nod as her only response. The feeling of fear made her hate herself, especially since it was of Sebastian. Even though it was just for a moment. Why couldn't she just be normal for once?

@blue_topaz

(I want to give her a huge hug)

Sebastian hung his head, unable to stand the sight of her in pain any longer. Just knowing that he was the cause of that pain, that he’d only make it worse if he made any attempt to help—it broke him. It put a crack right down his heart.

I’m sorry…

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(I know… 😭 I just want them to be together without fears or worries.)

Devon took a few shaky breaths with her head still against the door frame. She couldn't move, her feet were frozen to the spot because she was conflicted over what to do.

She wanted to turn and run away, to go get Layla and hide and cuddle with her daughter. But she also wanted to go the other way, toward Sebastian. She wanted to feel his arms around her, the arms that made her feel so warm and safe… But she didn't know if she could do that at the moment, so she simply stood, frozen in place.

@blue_topaz

(😭)

Sebastian’s feet had grown roots, anchoring him to the spot were he stood. It was as if his heart had stopped beating, his whole world had stopped turning….. what if she didn’t text him? What if she didn’t come back?

He would lose the only person who gave his life value. And it would be all his fault.

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Aw, Seb… She's not gone yet! She's literally standing right there! Go get her!)

Devon sighed slowly, hoping that it wouldn't shake again. She pulled herself away from the door and rubbed at her face with her hands.

Why couldn't she just go to him? Why did it hurt so much when she did anything with her feelings or emotions? It was so stupid. She just wished that she could feel like a normal person for once.
