~Seth~

Seth had walked to Aislinn’s flat four times, He didn’t know where else to go. Only once had he the courage to knock on the door, and even then he was pathetically timid in talking to her Gran. Aislinn was right, her Gran was very judgemental of piercings. Seth had a feeling that if he’d stayed there for any longer, Aislinn’s Gran would have pulled out a baseball bat. Seth felt defeated. Defeat clouded his mind like fog, making sure he couldn’t think straight. Seth decided to take a break and think of all the places she could be. But the mind fog left him brainless and bumbling.

Seth wandered around. He didn’t notice where he was going, but suddenly he was in a park. A beautiful green and sunny park. This was

There he was sitting alone when he noticed a movement out of the corner of his eye, barely a flutter, but he turned to look anyway, to suddenly wish that he hadn’t. Swirling red and gold leaves danced in the wind, waltzing gracefully round the couple in the centre. Keenan was practically glowing, and Aislinn was crying, unobservant to Seth as she rested her head on Keenan‘s muscled shoulder, her shining dark hair falling over his shoulder like a shimmering black veil. He should have left then. But instead he sat and watched as his Aislinn sat crying on Keenan’s shoulder. Seth wanted to look away, he desperately needed to look away, but somehow he couldn’t. It was as if a magnetic force was pulling his gaze towards them. Seth clenched his fist tightly until his fist turned white. He wanted to punch Keenan so bad, but he knew that trying to take on a faery in combat was just plain stupid. But Keenan? Seth wanted to shake Aislinn to make her snap out of it. What have they done to her? Seth wondered silently. Not that long ago, everything had been fine, him and Aislinn were happy and then suddenly it all changed, thanks to Keenan. Seth tugged at his lip piercing, like he always did when he was thinking. He held back the tears that were stinging his eyes. He would not cry. He never did and he never would show weakness.

Seth didn’t know how long he had been there for. He sat and watched for hours, behind the cover of bushes, sitting and steaming. Rays of sunlight seemed to shine from Keenan’s perfect skin, changing the mint green grass to sunshine yellow. Dancing lights glistened across the bark of a nearby tree. And then they were gone. Seth realising that he had been momentarily distracted, looked around frantically, searching for Aislinn. Seth saw a flash of silky black hair disappear out of the corner of his eye. Seth needed to move from his perfect hiding place, if he wanted to keep Aislinn in his line of sight. Seth carefully manoeuvred round trees and behind lamp posts.

An hour later Seth arrived at one of the cleanest and nicest looking apartments that he had ever seen. It was Keenan’s flat. Seth could tell instinctively. Seth thought about waiting outside, but that would be trying to repress his overwhelming curiosity. Seth watched helplessly as Aislinn was lured into the light beyond the marble door.

Seth was thankful that Keenan didn’t bother to close the door properly. He ran and managed to squeeze through the gap before the door closed. Seth hurried to find a good hiding spot before he was noticed by Keenan or Aislinn. Seth must have dozed off, because the next thing he heard was a book slamming closed. He looked up, startled, his heart racing like a pounding drum. He looked up in time to see Aislinn stalk away in the cute way she always does when she’s angry. Seth felt a stubborn twinge of smugness creeping into his brain. The feeling disappeared when he saw Keenan block Aislinn’s way to the door. Won’t that guy just get the hint already?

Seth waited in excitement for Aislinn to tell Keenan to… well frankly… to get the hell away! But when he saw Keenan kiss Aislinn, he felt like he’d put his heart in a blender. Aislinn was his. Only Seth had the right to kiss her. But at that moment in time, Seth felt completely helpless. He just had to watch and bear as Keenan ran his hands all over Aislinn; through her hair, and over her body. And he couldn’t even hide the tear that ran slowly down his cheeks. Seth could feel an irreversible void opening between him and Aislinn. And this time he worried he couldn’t fix their relationship back together as Aislinn and Keenan stumbled their way to the bedroom.
