Chapter-18
The End
Sebastian is sitting alone on the table, waiting for her. He has calmed down now and has realized that he should have stayed quiet.
Five minutes pass, then ten and then twenty. He sighs and murmurs, "Linda, cover the dishes. I will bring her."
"Yes sir." She replies and he starts walking towards her room.
"Kathryn, what's taking you so -" His words stop in the middle when he looks at her.
She is sprawled on the bed, half of her body nude. Empty and filled packets of Coke are strewn everywhere on the bed.
She is unconscious and froth is gathering on her mouth.
"Lin-" Suddenly he can't breathe. He walks towards her on trembling legs.
"Linda. Call for an ambulance quickly." He finally screams and gathers her unconscious body in his arms after covering with a blanket.
"Oh Kathryn. What have you done?" He whispers, his voice breaking and tears streaming down his eyes.
The only consolation is that her heart is still beating.
"Hold on. Please hold on." He pleads and prays for her to keep strength.
XXXX
Kathryn blinks her eyes open and looks around. It seems that she is in a hospital.
"You are finally awake." Someone says beside her she she realizes that she is not alone. But then her mind tells her that the voice belongs to Sebastian and her fury flares. Her heart clenches as she remembers his hateful words and she glares venomously at him.
He extends his hands to hold her and she shoves him away with her hands on his chest.
"Don't touch me." She snarls at him, tears trickling down her cheeks.
"Kathryn, calm down." He mutters in a measured voice and she gets off the bed before glaring at him, her face wet with tears.
"I AM A SLUT, A DEVIL INCARNATE. I AM WORTHY OF ONLY BEING A HOLE TO FUCK. WHY DID YOU SAVE ME AT ALL IF I AM SUCH AN EVIL CREATURE. HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ME." She screams at him, her voice trembling.
"Kathryn, please listen to me. You have to calm down." He whispers and gets off the bed very slowly. He walks towards her at a slow pace and she watches him, her vision blurring due to the sudden bout of tears.
By the time she has wiped them away, Sebastian is in front of her, his hands on her shaking shoulders.
"DON'T TOUCH ME. JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME. AFTER ALL I AM AN EVIL, EVIL BITCH AND I REFUSE TO BECOME A HOLE FOR YOU." She screams and shoves him away before turning around.
"I didn't want to survive. I want to die." She whispers, a sob wracking her body and bolts out of the room.
XXXX
Sebastian is stunned by her reaction. She has never shown such a strong reaction ever. She is practically shaking with rage and yet she is crying, tears trickling down her cheeks, her eyes red rimmed but furious. She is a sight to uphold and so very very sexy.
His heart clenches when he hears his own words escaping her mouth. He can't believe himself. He should have had a better control over his tongue.
He thinks that he can still calm her down but then she shoves him away and bolts out of the room after murmuring, "I didn't even want to survive. I want to die."
By the time, he gathers himself, she has already run out of the room. He follows her as fast as he can.
"God damnit, Kathryn. Stop all this." He screams and she doesn't stop. She doesn't even look at him. He wonders where she is off to. Her retreat towards the stairs answers him and he shouts, "Kathryn please stop."
"Get lost." She replies back and his heart thunders in his chest. She is too quick for him.
Then a miracle happens and out of nowhere, Annette appears through a door that Kathryn is passing by.
"Annette please stop her. She is going towards the terrace." He shouts and Annette looks back to murmur something to someone and starts running after Kathryn.
XXXX
Annette is running as fast as she can. She doesn't know why but she can't take it upon her conscience. She can save Kathryn right now and she will never forgive herself if she didn't atleast try.
"Wait, Kathryn." She screams and Kathryn ignores her. Finally they are on the terrace and Kathryn walks towards the edge. The terrace is still under construction and Annette walks slowly towards her, her eyes on the frantic girl. Kathryn's eyes are swollen and her face is drenched with tears.
It is purely a coincidence perhaps or perhaps it is fate. Just at the moment when Kathryn is about to fall, Annette grabs her right hand. It is sweaty and Annette whispers, "Are you nuts?"
"Let me die. It would give you a fare chance to win him back." Kathryn murmurs, her voice dead. Her body is hanging and the hospital has five floors.
"I could let you fall. He will eventually move on. You will be nothing but a memory. I could even get my mother back. You have always snatched everything away from me. First my mum and then Sebastian. I should let you fall." Annette whispers. She can just let her go. Kathryn will die a horrible death and - and what?
This is the thought that stops Annette. She has no desire to take revenge from Kathryn, Kathryn who is fickle minded and stupid and just so aggressive in everything she does. She manipulates Sebastian and still he loves her with all his heart.
"Leave my hand. You will get him after my death and perhaps keep him happy." Kathryn whispers, her breath erratic and her hair flying behind her.
It will be so easy for Annette to kill her. But she knows that she will kill herself as well if she kills Kathryn today. She is not like that. She can't do this.
"Annette, please save her." Sebastian's broken voice reaches her and she stares quietly at Kathryn. She waits for Sebastian to sweet talk her.
"Please, I love her." Sebastian speaks, his voice loud but soft and her eyes well with tears. His voice is breaking and Kathryn murmurs, "See. If you kill me, he will forget me eventually. I am just a hole for him. just an obsession."
"If only, Kathryn. If only." She murmurs, her voice broken. Tears slide down her cheeks as she continues, "I wish he loved me like he loves you. From the very starting it has been about you. Kathryn this and Kathryn that. His journal was full of your name and your habits."
"I will save you today." Annette whispers and stops to swallow the lump in her throat. Tears flow freely from her eyes, "I will save you for his sanity and my own. I will not stoop to your level. I will not be a murderer just because my boyfriend loves my step-sister. We are sisters by blood you know."
XXXX
Kathryn stares as Annette holds both her hands in her own and pulls her up. Sebastian comes running towards them and falls on his knees before gathering Kathryn in his arms. Annette stands at a short distance behind them and murmurs, "Congratulations, sister. You have won yet another bet."
Kathryn stares at her in shock. Annette laughs bitterly through her tears.
"Annette, don't." Sebastian murmrus softly while stroking Kathryn's hair.
"You must be aware of a little fact though. Sebastian always knew about the bet. I told him. Court framed you, you know. He wanted to pay off his debts to B & J by providing you to them on the day you lost to him. Sebastian eliminated that threat yesterday for you and this is how you pay him, by almost dying, by wasting everything he has tolerated during the past few days for you."
Kathryn stares at her, her arms around Sebastian, in complete and utter shock.
"You don't deserve him. Due to some miracle, he loves you. You are lucky that someone loves you so much. It is close to impossible to be gifted with such a true love and devotion these days. I would suggest you to leave all these manipulations and games and concentrate on your life and career, concentrate on him and your relationship. You are lucky. Believe me many would give up everything to be in your shoes. sister." Annette's face is drenched with tears, quite similar to hers. She turns away and starts leaving.
"Thank you." Sebastian murmurs softly and Annette replies back, "Now you can't call me a hypocrite at least."
"No. I can't." Sebastian replies after a few minutes and Kathryn looks at him. His eyes bore into hers. For the first time, she is completely speechless. Annette leaves and Kathryn opens her mouth to say something.
Sebastian places a finger on her lips and whispers, "Forget everything. I took care of Court and our parents took care of B & J. Lets start afresh, that is, if you want to."
She had never imagined herself confessing her feelings to Sebastian like this, in a hideous hospital gown, her hair dirty and her face drenched with tears.
"I love you." She whispers and he laughs, the voice familiar and comforting before pulling her up so that she is straddling him, her legs around his hips.
His arms wrap around her neck and he whispers, "I love you too."
He embraces her tightly. She doesn't know what will happen tomorrow but she won't play any more games now. She has had enough games for a lifetime.
"I love you." She murmurs and he laughs, "Just as I love you."
She smiles and closes her eyes, finally happy and content.
The end.
I might upload a sequel to this but then I mightn't. Tell me what you think. Also do go through my other cruel Intentions fic if you like this.
