"I had no reason to?" he echoed, eyebrows rising. "Mag, I didn't just...turn off a switch and stop loving you because we're not together anymore. And Skittery's completely crazy about you," he added grudgingly. "You could've at least sent a messenger or something, told us you were safe."

She winced. "I told Skittery everything he needed to know in that note." She bit her lip. He wouldn't be here if Skittery had told him what it said, she was sure of that much. "And please don't say you love me, Sebastian. It makes everything so much harder."

He breathed in sharply, which was possibly the first outward sign of pain he'd shown since she broke up with him. "I won't say it, then," he said a little shakily, and glanced over his shoulder at Skittery, waiting in the distance. "I should go, Maggie. You're obviously safe, and...your boyfriend's lurking awkwardly in an alley..."

Her eyes welled up, though she didn't let herself lose it completely. "Don't you get it? I love you, Sebastian. I'm always gonna love you. I'm never gonna be happy with anybody else, because I found you first. You've ruined me for every other guy. And it's not fair. Because I can't--I can't be with you, Sebastian. Not when you're so filled with anger and hurt, that has nothing to do with me." She took a shaky breath. "Skitts doesn't have a scheming bone in his body. There aren't any ulterior motives or--or hidden agendas with him. He just wants me." The tears were falling now and her voice broke as she looked up at him, meeting his eyes. "Why couldn't you have just wanted me..."

Goblin wrapped his arms around himself, because there were tears running down his face now, and he never, ever, ever let that happen. He wiped them away with his sleeve, choked on the next couple breaths, and finally looked her in the eye.
"Because I couldn't, Maggie. I always wanted you, but I couldn't just want you, and I think you know why. Because all this shit happened to me before I ever met you, and yeah, I'm angry and scheming and fucked up and I told you that at the beginning, and you still wanted me. I told you it was a bad idea, that you'd get hurt, and you still wanted me.
"I know I didn't tell you the whole truth, and I will never forgive myself for what happened to you, but it's not my fault that you found me first. It's not my fault you chose to be with me, when I did everything I could to push you away. And I hope you're wrong about never being happy with anyone else, because you should be, Mag. You deserve it. So please, just...stop thinking about me, or using me as an excuse not to be with Skittery or whoever else you choose. 'Cause you and me...we loved each other, maybe we always will a little, but we never could've understood each other, Maggie."
And at that moment, he realized he truly believed that. With all his heart. Enough to lean over, kiss her on the cheek, turn around, and walk away.

((Holy bajeezus, Goblin's crying...))
That broke whatever control she had left, and Maggie slumped against the door frame, bursting into wrenching sobs. It was over. It was officially and unequivocally over between her and Sebastian. And it felt like she just had her heart ripped from her chest and then stomped on.
He was so sure something wonderful died. And she didn't have it in her to argue.

Once Skittery was sure Goblin wasn't coming back, he vaulted from the alley to Script's front door. He reached and put a hand on her hair, smoothing it. "Hey..." he said quietly.

She flung herself into his arms, burying her face against his chest, shaking she was crying so hard. "Michael, I'm so sorry!" She said it on a sobbing wail.
((And she's officially a hot mess))

"It's okay," he repeated, speaking softly into her ear. He held her tightly, rubbing her back and hair, hoping it would help calm her down.

She clung to him, sobbing until she couldn't cry any more. She had nothing left in her. She sniffled, pulling away, red-eyed and puffy-faced. "You--you're too good for me, Mike..."

He chuckled, though there was no real humor in it, and shook his head. "I'm not, Mags." And she would believe that one day.

She sniffled, wiping her eyes. "Co--come inside." She led him in, closing the door behind them. Her father poked his head out of the kitchen, but she waved him off, and he only frowned. She lef Mike to her bedroom, then threw herself onto it.

He gently sat down next to her, taking her hand. "I heard everything," he began, voice still soft.

She winced, face buried in her pillow. "You did..? So then I guess I lost you, too, then..."

"No. And I'm going to prove you wrong." He knew he could make her happy. He just knew it. If he didn't he wouldn't lose any sleep because he would do all he could to make it so.
