Revelio-Sebastian Sallow

if i showed up at your party

I heard his low chuckle and saw his winning smile sparkling down at me, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Is someone a little tired or something?"

"Or something," I said quietly.

We were both silent for a minute, not wanting to talk about what had just happened outside. It took all of my strength not to reach out and run my fingers through his hair, or grab his neck to envelop him in another kiss, or something. I clenched my hands, ignoring the feeling. He looked at me with a piercing glare, obviously upset at what had happened outside.

Yeah, like I would ever be sorry for that.

"Aurelia..?"

I look up, all my thoughts disappearing.

"Oh...I'm sorry, I was just thinking."

"Are you okay?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Don't worry about it."

We stood there for a moment and before I had to deal with any more long periods of silence; I made an excuse and ran off. Although no matter how hard I try, I know I can never escape Sebastian Sallow. No matter what we go through, we'll always be by each other's side. And whatever happens after this, I know I'll never regret kissing him.

I look around the room, glancing at the faces I didn't recognize, viewing the directed looks towards me and Sebastian. Everyone thinks they know what's going on between us.

If only it were that easy.

My heart beats faster as I catch sight of him, laughing with another girl across the room. I wanted to be that girl. I want to go to parties with him and show everyone he's mine. I want to go to dances with him. I want to skip classes just to go hang out with him. I would sacrifice sleep just to have a conversation with him. I only wanted him.

And it was annoying to see him with that girl all the time. Does he even realize she's head over heels for him?

And is it weird that I know that, even though I don't know her name?

Does he even know her name?

Sure, I've seen her around sometimes, mostly either talking to Sebastian or laughing with her friends. She's prettier than me. No wonder he's talking to her right now instead of me.

I could've had him when we were younger. With his short, curly, light brown hair, and my hair put up in pigtails with two bows. Even with that awful hairstyle, he still chose to talk to me on the train, and I'd always remember that.

And no matter how many mistakes I've made over the years, he would support me through every single one, including actually killing Garreth if he made me upset. Although I'm pretty sure he hated him, so that wouldn't count.

But through everything, he's been stuck to my side like glue. He's been my one and only. No matter how much I loved Garreth, I would've picked Sebastian in a heartbeat. It's just the way our friendship went.

He eyes me from across the room again and I look away quickly, looking down at my silver dress. Just now I noticed how wrinkled it was from Sebastian's wild hands on my waist. I couldn't help but smile, adjusting the neckline back up onto my shoulders properly.

I won't deny it. I wore this just to try to impress him.

I went out to go buy a dress a couple of weeks ago for an occasion like this, alone, of course. I debated taking Ominis with me because he has good taste, but I ended up going alone because he was busy.

Sometimes I wish I had a friend I could talk to that wasn't those two. I love them with all my heart, but there was space to love more than that, right?
