Trapped in Her Heart

0When Arthur came back from his business trip, he received a call from Noah who told him about the entire incident. The fact that Rebecca took advantage of his absence to make a sly and dirty move made him furious.      0

As soon as he arrived home, he snapped at his wife and quickly rushed to Sebastian's place with the intention of making everything right but things had turned more chaotic which made him more mad at Rebecca.      

"You need to stop this behaviour of yours and apologize to Ellie's parents," he stated.      

Scrunching his brows, she tried to retort. "Why would I apologize?"      

"I am not asking you, I am telling you that you have to." Without waiting for her reply, he walked out of the apartment before gesturing her to follow him.      

Balling her hand into a fist, she quietly followed him behind.      

….      

Ellie's old apartment.      

"She just left, I—"      

Squatting right in front of Judith, Sebastian grabbed her hand. "Please calm down and tell me what exactly she told you."      

"She just came out of her room and told me she is going out."      

"And when we asked her where she is going, she just told me that she wants peace," Melissa answered.      

Scrunching her brows, Ava inquired, "Didn't you ask her anything else?"      

"I told her I'll join her but she said she wanted to be alone for a while. I—"      

"Where could she go?" Noah muttered before looking at Sebastian who had seemed to zone out.      

After a couple of seconds, Sebastian quickly got up. "I know where she is, I'll get her."      

Getting up, Judith grabbed his hand. "Please bring her home safely."      

Giving her a hug, he nodded his head. "Don't worry, I'll bring her to your safe and sound."      

Looking at Harry who hadn't said anything since he had arrived, Sebastian added, "I promise."      

Without wasting any more time, he rushed out of the apartment only to run into his parents. Before Arthur could ask him anything, he walked away.      

…..      

Outside.      

"Seb—" Owen called him out. "Tell us the address at least, we need to follow you."      

"I'll send you the location." Without waiting for his reply, Sebastian hopped inside his car and drove away.     

"Where is he?" Noah inquired.      

"He just left, we need to follow him." Taking out his phone, Owen added, "He just sent me the address."      

"We need to leave."      

….     

After driving for almost twenty minutes, Sebastian stopped the car in front of the woods. He then quickly hopped out and rushed towards the garden-like place he had brought Ellie the very day they came back from Hawaii.      

While he was rushing further inside, he bumped into Gary, the caretaker of the garden.      

"Sir, you are here. I was about to call you," Gary informed.      

"Is she here?" he panic strikingly inquired. When he nodded his head, Sebastian rushed towards the spot he had shown Ellie earlier.      

Sebastian stopped when he saw Ellie. With her back facing him, she was standing right beside a tree while looking at the lake.      

Breathing a sigh of relief after finally seeing her, he slowly made his way towards her.      

"Ellie—" he gently called her out.      

Turning around, Ellie frowned, "Seb, what are you doing here?"      

"Look, I know you don't wanna see me but I wanted to see you. I—" Stopping himself to rush forward and pull her into his embrace, he balled his hand into a fist. He wanted to hug her, kiss her and feel her touch but he also wanted to give her the space she wanted.     

Without waiting for her reply, he added, "I am not here to tell you that I can't live without. I can live without you, I just don't want to."      

"I know things are a bit hard now and it's chaotic too but I can fix it, I swear I will. I can't do this without you Ellie, I am a complete mess without you." Raising his left hand, he added, "Look, I couldn't even find my watch without you. I need you El, not just for my watch or other things. I need to for my heart, I need you for my soul. I—"      

When he stopped midway and turned around to stop himself from tearing up, she rushed towards him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she buried her face on his back.      

When Sebastian felt her warmth against his back, he quickly turned around and pulled her in his embrace.      

Pulling away, she slapped his chest. "You sounded as if I broke up with you."      

"You didn't want to see me and you are also leaving for Seattle tomorrow without letting me know, I thought you don't want me anymore."      

"Of course I want you Seb, how can I ever not want you? I was just super upset and I was also planning to call you tonight," she explained.      

"Then why didn't you and why are you leaving?" he complained.     

"I just wanted to go home and stay with mom and dad for a few days," she explained.      

Pulling her closer, he stated, "Okay then we will go together. We will stay there as long as you want. Don't scare me like this, I lose myself when you are away."      

Pulling away, she hesitated for a while before saying. "Seb, your mother—"      

"Don't worry about her, I'll take care of everything and this time, I won't make any mistake. Just stay by my side and I'll fix everything."      

Just then a loud scream startled both of them.      

"Who is that?" Ellie frowned.      

"I think that was Gary," Sebastian muttered before taking out his phone.      

"You better keep that inside your pocket Mr. Stewart," A man ordered before walking towards them.      

Tightening his grip around Ellie, Sebastian pulled her closer when he saw who it was.      

"You don't seem happy to see me." Looking at Ellie, the man chuckled, "And Ms. Miller looks horrified."      

"What are you doing here Danny?" Sebastian calmly inquired.
