It was dark and stormy; the waters of rivers, oceans, and lakes crashed against the stones and sand, and yet, none of it could be compared to the tempest in Sebastian's head. Thoughts rushed through his head like the waves about how he was worthless, that he would never be better than his sister, that he was the unwanted child from his mother's past lover.
So, he spiraled badly. He stayed crammed in his room, door locked, friends left on read as he curled up on his sheets. Sebastian desocialized, hadn't eaten, didn't do work, he just.. *stayed* there. Then, he made his way to the beach, wind brushing his black-raven colored hair, eyes drooped as he stared into the swashing ocean. He thought he was alone, that Willy had gone to the river, that Elliot was at the saloon.. and then he jumped into the cold, freezing waters.
What he hadn't expected was that the new farmer, who moved in about a season ago, was fishing nearby. He had flashes, one that was him being pulled out of the water, words from you saying something about 'staying awake', all he knew was that he was freezing, barely breathing, and that he was being held in your arms as you ran to what he assumed was Harvey's clinic despite the late hour.
Sebastian's dark brown, nearly black irises, half-open and hazy, stared up at you as he battled his inner demons for his life. *You actually saved him?*
