“I know I have no right—”
“Damn right you don’t.”
“—but can we talk?”
“No.”
“Baz, I-I mean Sebastian, I…”
“I said no!”Baz slammed his hands on the table as he stood up.“You don’t get to show up here unannounced after thirteen years and demand to speak to me!”
Jack held his hands up in surrender.“I know!I just…” The sentence faded into nothing.How could he not know what to say?How could he force himself into Baz’s life without an apology ready?
Evidently, Jack was still the same selfish jerk they had left behind in their childhood, and that was where he should remain.
“You have five seconds to leave before I call security.Five.”
Jack’s nod was heavy.“Right.I’m sorry.I shouldn’t have… I’m sorry.”
Oh, so he was capable of an apology, just not for making their lives miserable.Baz glared at him with the fury of a lifetime of neglect boiling inside of him.“Four.”
Finally, Jack retreated.Taking the wrong turn for the exit.
He could fall off the roof for all Baz cared.
Baz dropped into his chair.It rolled back under his weight; he crashed head-first against the window.Fuck!He slammed his fist onto the desk.The pain shot up his arm.
How dare Jack?This was what happened when a good person like Eevee opened the door just the tiniest bit.The vipers slithered through andtook took tookanything they could get their venomous little fangs into.
Did she know?Was this her twisted idea of a family reconciliation?
God, Baz needed to calm down.Eevee would never do that to him.This had Jack’s entitlement written all over it.Baz could strangle him!He wanted to demolish his office with a sledgehammer, he wanted the hole in his chest to stop burning, he wanted… he looked at his phone.
Fuck it.
Annoying Stalker
I nearly killed your twin earlier
the resemblance is uncanny
Underneath, a picture of a pile of dogshit.Oh, for fuck’s sake.
Despite the shadows from the past clawing at him, Baz’s groan turned into a laugh.He buried his face in his hand, dragged it down.He was such a mess.But so was Sami, and right now, what Baz needed, what he craved, was more of that disarming humor, the softness in Sami’s eyes that made him feel like maybe, he wasn’t so goddamn alone all the time.
Thank god.A funeral is the last fucking thing I need today
why?
wanna talk?<3
(just so I can feel better about what an awesome day I’m having)
Baz hit the call button.It rang twice before Sami picked up.
“Hi, honey.”His slightly muffled voice was a balm for Baz’s strained soul.
“Unfortunate encounter after work,” Baz said in lieu of a greeting.
