SKYES HOUSE

In Sebastian's sunny bedroom, he wanted me to stay with him to make sure I was okay. So, he and I are laying in his bed. He's tattooed shirtless wearing a pair of pajama shorts and Me, I'm wearing a shirt and a pair of shorts with my blonde hair down.

"Last night at Rochelle's was hectic." Sebastian said.

"Yeah. The Red Mask just stared at Rochelle and then, at us. I thought The Red Mask was gonna use the shotgun or something." I said.

"Yeah, me too." Sebastian said. "This small town of Providence has been stained with tragedy, drugs and a serial killer. The town has turned into a nightmare."

"Yeah, it has." I said.

Sebastian and I exchange glum looks at each other.

"So, now, Jade is gone, do you think she's gonna come back to Providence Academy to exact her revenge against you?" Sebastian asked me.

"Probably. We saw who she really is when she dropped her "nice girl" act, so, yeah, she's gonna get her revenge." I said.

"She's gonna have a helluva trying to get her payback on you." Sebastian said.

Sebastian and I exchange small smiles at each other.

"We should probably get going?" I said, getting up from his bed.

"Yeah, that's a good idea." Sebastian sai and sits up straight with the fluffy bedcover covering the lower half of his body.

My phone buzzes on his nightstand. I gently takes my phone and looks at it.

Jade

"How the hell did Jade get my phone number?" I asked.

Sebastian and I exchange looks at each other and I answer my phone.

"Jade?" I said.

"Surprise, bitch." Jade said on the phone. "Didn't expect a phone call from me, didn't you, Catty?"

"No, I didn't." I said to her.

"You're probably wondering how I got your phone number. But it doesn't matter." Jade said.

"What the hell do you want, Jade?" I asked, sitting on the ottoman.

"You should watch your back, you don't want The Red Mask after you." Jade threatened me.

"Oh, please? You think you can scare me with your threats, Jade? You don't know who you're messing with." I tell her, unfazed by her threat.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Jade tells me and hangs up her phone.

"What did Jade say?" Sebastian asked me.

I look at my boyfriend, Sebastian. "She tried to threaten me. Plus, it seems like she's tied to The Red Mask."

"You think she knows who The Red Mask is?" Sebastian asked.

"Yeah, she probably does." I said to him.

- THIRD POV -

Later that day, at the CLUBHOUSE, Sebastian is at the smoothie machine, getting himself a smoothie.

Jade slowly walks up next to him and gently leans backwards against the counter.

"You're a complete fool." Jade said, with her arms folded.

Sebastian looks at Jade with a crazed expression on his face. "What?"

"You and Catty? You two are ship-game. Grayson and Catty are." Jade said.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Sebastian said to her.

Jade looks at him as she continues to get inside his mind. "You already know the magnet chemistry connection between Grayson and Catty and yet, you're still with her. Are you sure that you and Catty are 100%?"

"My relationship with Catty is none of your business, Jade. I love her and she loves me." Sebastian said and walks away with his to-go smoothie cup.

"If Catty loves you, then, why did she and Grayson kiss?" Jade asked him.

Sebastian stopped walking and turns around to look at Jade. And Jade slowly walks up to him with a stoic expression on her face.

"I'm sure that somewhere in the back of your mind that you know your relationship with Catty is gonna end. You already know that you're gonna lose Catty to Grayson anyway, so, do yourself a favor and spare yourself the pain of losing Catty." Jade said to him.

Sebastian and Jade exchange tense looks at each other and she walks away.

ROCHELLE'S DINER

That afternoon, I'm sitting at the diner counter with my root beer float. Leigh Ann is working her work shift, wearing her waitress uniform.

"Now, that Jade is gone, do you think that Principal Dean Barbara is gonna cancel junior prom?" Leigh Ann asked.

"I hope not." I said. "But I understand if she does, given what happened last time at the homecoming dance."

"Yeah, but I hope she doesn't." Leigh Ann said.

"You need a boyfriend." I playfully teased her with a small smile.

Which Leigh Ann chuckles. "Oh, please? I'm enjoying my single love life, but eventually, I'll find a special someone."

Leigh Ann and I exchange small smiles at each other.

The diner door opens, and Jade slowly walks inside. Leigh Ann and I both looks at her.

"Hi, Jade. How are you?" Leigh Ann greeted her with a small polite smile.

But Jade isn't convinced. "Spare me the small talk, Leigh Ann."

Jade and I exchange tense looks at each other.

"Jade." I said.

"Catty." Jade said. "How's Sebastian?" She asked.

"He's fine." I replied.

"I'm sure he is." Jade said with a flirty small smile, taking a sip of her sweet tea.

"Oh my gosh, you have a sick mind." Leigh Ann said to Jade with a disgusted expression on her face.

Jade looks at Leigh Ann with a smirk.

"Don't let Jade get to you, Leigh Ann." I said to her.

"Oh, please, you're the one that's in trouble." Jade said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Sebastian." Jade said.

I look at Jade. "If you hurt him . . ." I trailed off.

"Save your threats, Catty. You have Sebastian to worry about." Jade said.

SKYES HOUSE

Later that evening, after Leigh Ann dropped me off at Sebastian's house.

I see him getting out of his pickup truck.

"Sebastian?" I said, walking up to him. "Are you alright? Jade didn't hurt you, did she?"

"No, she didn't." Sebastian said to me.

I look at Sebastian and senses something off. "What did she say to you?"

"It doesn't matter." Sebastian said and walks away.

"Sebastian, wait?" I said.

"Why don't you go back to Grayson?" Sebastian tells me with an attitude.

[Song: Been A Long Day - Rosi Golan]

"What?" I said, bewildered. "Sebastian told you I was sorry about kissing him."

"But I'm sure a part of you enjoyed kissing him at the Stillwater Swimming Hole." Sebastian said to me still with an attitude.

"Seb?" I said to him.

"You know, we've been dating for a long while, but I knew the second that Grayson came back, you and I were gonna fall apart." Sebastian said to me.

"Sebastian?" I said to him, gently cupping his face with my hands. "Please, don't do this."

Sebastian and I exchange glum looks at each other with tears in our eyes.

"I love you." I said him.

"I know you do, but why isn't it enough?" Sebastian asked with a tear rolls down his left cheek. "I love you, CP, but you and I don't have the same magnet chemistry that you share with Grayson."

"Sebastian, please?" I said to him with a tear rolls down my left cheek.

Sebastian gently removes my hands from his face. "I'm sorry. We can't be together anymore."

"Sebastian?" I said to him.

And Sebastian walks away from me, heading towards the door.

"Sebastian?!" I exclaimed.

But he doesn't stop or turn around to look at me. He just opens the door and closes it behind him.

[Song ends]

Upon realizing that Sebastian broke up with me, I walks away, heading home.
