? CHAPTER 33&34 ?
Shaun was about giving up on Sebastian but the look on Fabiola’s face told him to keep trying. She looked like a crying zombie right now and he feared she might just have a heart attack if Sebastian doesn’t wake up soon.
He pressed his chest harder than the previous times though cautiously to avoid any damage to his cavities or rib bones.
Sebastian coughed out water from both his nose and mouth after the last hard press and Fabiola almost screamed but she’s been crying too much to even smile now.
She rushed to him immediately, raising his upper body to her laps.
“Baby why-would you wanna- leave me? Why would you wanna..” She hiccupped. She couldn’t stop crying even though Sebastian is awake now, barely.
Anna got to the swim building since she couldn’t find Sebastian at the library and she paused upon the scene that welcomed her.
“Wh.. what’s going on?” She asked looking at Shaun.
“We need to get him to the clinic.” Fabiola said ignoring Anna’s question.
“Can you walk?” Shaun asked Sebastian who still didn’t understand what was going on. Shaun sighed bending down again.
“Put him on my back, I’ll carry him.” Shaun said and Fabiola looked at Anna to come help her.
Anna moved her feet immediately without asking further questions.
They got him on Shaun’s back and they left the building, heading to the clinic.
Fabiola still didn’t stop crying. She couldn’t imagine what would have happened if Sebastian didn’t wake up. She couldn’t imagine a life without him, nagging and teasing her. Making her cry and making her laugh so hard she would end up crying in the process.
She couldn’t imagine not having a brother, not having him as a brother. She might just die alongside with him as she wouldn’t want that kind of life.
They got to the clinic and Chrystal’s eyes widened on seeing Shaun and Sebastian both soaking wet. She became curious as to why Sebastian is being carried…did anything happen to him? She suddenly felt bad for not going to get him earlier.
“What happened?” Ivory sprang up immediately, worry evident in her tone.
“Where’s the nurse? Get the nurse please.” Fabiola cried out.
Shaun took him to the room opposite Swayer’s and the nurse went in some minutes after to attend to him.
“Fabiola you need to stop crying. It’ll slow down the healing process of your black eye.” Anna said worriedly. She doesn’t know how long she’s been crying but her face right now is a mess.
“What happened to him?” Ivory asked again.
“He must have fallen into the pool or something.” Shaun shrugged but Fabiola glared at him.
“Fallen? Sebastian is the best swimmer I’ve met so far so if he had fallen into the pool, he’ll get out. There’s no bruise on his head to show for if he had an accident! He f*cking did this on purpose!” Fabiola yelled, crying continuously.
Anna hugged her immediately, rubbing her back but she just didn’t stop.
“Why would Sebastian want to harm himself?” Maeve asked.
“I’m guessing it’s because of the scholarship. He must have been devastated.” Shaun sighed.
“He lost his scholarship? How? He’s been doing great so far in his grades.” Ivory frowned.
“It got revoked. Mrs Marshall found out about Swayer. She must be really pissed right now.” Anna said still hugging Fabiola.
“Mrs Marshall? How did she even know about Swayer’s accident?” Maeve asked looking at Ivory.
“I thought the same. Maybe principal Donald called her.” Anna said shaking her head.
Chrystal bit her buttom lips hard as she felt guilty now.
“I..I did.” She confessed. Everyone paused, looking at her. Fabiola broke the hug from Anna and faced her too.
“Huh?” Fabiola furrowed her brows.
“I.. I’m sorry okay. I was just so mad about what he did to Swayer I thought it’d be best to let Mrs Marshall know-”
“So she could punish him?” Fabiola cut her off with a frown.
“Don’t look at me that way. Swayer almost-”
“Swayer is fine Chrystal! I can’t believe you right now!” Anna glared at her.
“You would have done the same too.” Chrystal scoffed.
“No I wouldn’t. You don’t even feel sorry. Sebastian almost died for f*cks sake Chrystal!!” Anna yelled.
Fabiola just stared at her, not knowing what to say.

Swayer faced Fiona with a frown.
“What’s all the shouting about?” She asked Fiona who’s been with her since they left to get Sebastian.
“I don’t know.” Fiona shrugged.
Swayer made to stand up but the pain stopped her and she winced.
“What are you trying to do?” Fiona frowned at her.
“I need to know what’s going on.” Swayer exhaled. The nurse had given her analgesic a while ago and assured her the pain will go away in a few hours but she just couldn’t keep laying on the bed.
“You will do no such thing. I’ll go. Just stay here.” Fiona warned, leaving the room. Swayer sighed, closing her eyes.

“Do you h@të him that much?” Fabiola finally voiced out. Her face had traces of dried tears and more were still coming out though not like before.
“I don’t h@të him-”
“Then why?” Fabiola cut her off. “Why do you always act this way? Is your life so messed up that you want every other person’s to be the same for you to be happy?” Fabiola glared at her.
Chrystal widened her eyes in shock.
“And who are you to talk to me this way?!” She yelled.
“I’m no one. Absolutely no body. I’m not popular in this school, I don’t have millions of followers on Instagram or Slap or wh@tëver. My parents aren’t billionaires and I don’t live in a mansion or drive latest model cars. I don’t wear designers clothes or carry expensive hair do or makeup. I’m absolutely nobody. But I’m not as arrogant and wicked and self-centered and nonchalant and Bîtchy as you!” Fabiola spat.
Everyone’s jaw dropped as they were taken aback by her retort.
“I may not be rich and classy like you all but at least I have a heart that’s working. At least I know how to behave human. At least I know how to care for others rather than myself even with the little I have. At least I’m not you. I rather live on the streets and eat from the dumbser than walk a day in your shoes.” Fabiola added, her tears were coming out faster now.
Chrystal just looked at her speechless. She didn’t even realize she’s crying until the tears fell on her palm. She looked down with widened eyes, touching her face.
“You should feel bad because that’s who you are…bad. You’re the worse person on the planet earth and now I see why Natasha h@tës the FAMICS so much. It’s not because of them but you. You’re the bad egg that’s spoiling their pure image. You’re the devil’s daughter.” Fabiola said before walking away into the room where Sebastian was kept.
Everyone felt dumbstruck. They all turned catatonic not knowing how to react. What Fabiola said got to them real bad.
“I..I’ll go check on Swayer.” Anna said turning towards Swayer’s room but to her surprise, Swayer and Fiona stood there, shocked to the bones.
Swayer couldn’t tell what happened but she’s never seen or heard Fabiola say mean things to people before. Just what on earth did Chrystal do?
“What is going on here?” Swayer asked making Fiona turn back in shock. She had no idea Swayer was behind her.
“Why are you out of bed! You stubborn lady!” Fiona kissed her teeth.
“I asked a question. What’s going on here?” Swayer frowned ignoring Fiona’s angry looking face.
Chrystal got up from her seat, running out of the clinic. She couldn’t take it anymore, the tears were choking her as she forced them to stay inside. The moment she got out of the building, she fell to the ground pouring her heart out.
She’s never felt this much pain before, it felt like tiny niddles were being pierced into her heart.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” She kept crying out to no one in particular.

Fabiola kept crying in Sebastian’s room. Thankfully the nurse had given him sedative earlier so he’s sleeping peacefully. She couldn’t help but feel bad for all she had said. They may have been true but she still felt bad. She looked at Sebastian’s pale face and cried even more.
“Why did you do that? Do you want to leave me? You want me to suffer alone? What would I do without you? I h@të you for this, I h@të you.” She kept crying.
Sebastian wrinkled the skin on his forehead as she said those words. He slowly opened his eyes to see Fabiola crying non stop. Her face was beyond recognition from the Fabiola he knows and her eyes, he couldn’t even describe it.
“Sugar?” He called and she stopped crying immediately. She looked up at him and shot him a hard glare.
“Don’t you dare call my name!”
Sebastian furrowed his brows feeling very confused.
He raised himself from the bed to take a good look at her.
“Why are you crying? How long have you been crying?” Sebastian frowned. It pained him to see her this way, it pained him to see her hurt.
“What do you care? You were willing to abandon me because of some stupid scholarship so what do you care!” Fabiola yelled. She began crying again.
Sebastian immediately got off the bed, approaching her. He made to touch her but she shifted back.
“Fabiola.” He called just to be sure she’s really the one. Seeing her up close now, she was beyond recognition. She looked really ugly with that black eye and swollen face. Her eyeballs were practically bulging out of their sockets. Just how long has this cry baby been crying for?
“Why would you want to kill yourself just because she revoked your scholarship? Don’t you love me anymore?” Fabiola asked, her tears still didn’t cease.
“Of course I love you Fabiola. I love you more than I love this damned life of mine. I didn’t try to kill myself, I…I don’t even know what happened.” Sebastian ruffled his hair. He really couldn’t tell what happened.
He wanted to cool his head yes but the fact that he didn’t want to come out again was something he couldn’t explain.
“You scared me. You…” Fabiola hiccuped and Sebastian immediately pulled her into his embrace.
“Please stop. Stop already. Stop please.” He said squeezing her tight. He couldn’t take it anymore. He didn’t want to see those tears anymore.
Fabiola broke the hug, cupping his face.
“If you ever do this to me again, I’ll kill myself. I swear it.” She said looking straight into his eyes.
Sebastian pulled her back into his embrace, kissing her hair.
“Don’t say that. I would never. I’m sorry Fabiola. I’m sorry princess.” He said multiple times, rubbing her back and kissing her hair.
After what seemed like fifteen minutes, they finally broke the hug.
“You should rest. I’ll go get you something to eat.” She smiled slightly. It’s the first time she’s smiled since the entire incident.
“I feel fine. Let’s just go.” Sebastian said arranging her hair.
“It’s an order. Rest Sebastian. I’ll go get you food.” She repeated with a serious face and Sebastian went back to the bed immediately.
She smiled satisfactory, leaving the room.
She met Swayer at the door, looking so confused.
