Second Chances Under the Tree Fucked up
CALLIE I screamed, the sound tearing from my throat as tears blurred my vision. "Sebastian! What the hell are you doing here?!" My voice cracked with rage. "Did you… Did you do this? Did you kill Ethan?" Sebastian’s face was calm, his dark eyes void of remorse. He held the bloodied knife up, inspecting it almost absently. “Yes, I did,” he said simply, his tone devoid of emotion. “I couldn’t hold it in anymore.” His words sent a shiver down my spine. I felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. “What… What are you talking about? Why?” Sebastian took a step closer, and I instinctively flinched, my body shielding Ethan’s as best as I could. His eyes softened slightly, but it wasn’t enough to quell the terror bubbling inside me. “I didn’t want to hurt you, Callie,” he said, his voice now tinged with something that sounded like regret. “But you need to know the truth.” “What truth?” I spat, my tears falling freely. “You killed him, Sebastian! Why?! What the hell is going on?”

CALLIESophie screamed as she entered the room, her face contorted in shock. "What the hell is going on here?!" Her voice echoed off the walls, and her eyes darted between me, Sebastian, and Ethan’s lifeless body on the floor, soaked in blood. "Why is Ethan… why is he… " She couldn’t finish her sentence, her hands trembling as she gripped the gun tighter. "No, no, don’t tell me it’s what I’m thinking…"I stood up slowly, my legs unsteady, and tried to meet her frantic gaze. "Sophie, I… ""You killed him?" she shouted, her voice breaking. "Sebastian, did you…" Her words cut off as tears filled her eyes. "Tell me you didn’t do this!"Sebastian remained unnervingly calm, his hands raised slightly as if to show he wasn’t a threat. "Sophie, listen to me," he said, his voice low and steady. "It’s not what you think.""Not what I think?" She let out a bitter laugh. "I walk in here, and Ethan is dead on the floor, you’re covered in blood, and you’re telling me it’s not what I think?" She poin

CALLIE "It's Christmas now, dear. You've been out for hours," Charlotte said softly.I blinked rapidly, my head throbbing as I tried to process her words. Christmas? Hours? What was going on? My heart raced. Wait, was I dead. Was this some bizarre version of the afterlife. Or maybe I’d finally lost my mind."Am I... dreaming?" I murmured, my voice barely audible.“Merry Christmas, Callie!” the entire room chorused, their faces lighting up with smiles.I was too stunned to respond. My eyes darted around the room, landing on each familiar face: Ethan, Sebastian, Charlotte, and Mr. Thompson by the fireplace, holding a mug of hot cocoa, his grin wider than I’d ever seen."What... is happening?" I finally managed to say, my voice cracking.Charlotte’s voice pulled me from my spiraling thoughts. “Callie, darling, are you alright?” she asked, concern etched on her face.Sebastian was at my side in an instant, his strong hands steadying me. “Does your head still hurt?” he asked softly. “Shou

SEBASTIANMy head was spinning. Callie’s words were still ringing in my ears: ‘You were going to die, Sebastian. I was going to die. You were going to murder Ethan.’How could she know? How could she describe events so precisely, events that hadn’t even happened yet? But then, the more she spoke, the more it became clear… this wasn’t some delusion. This was real. Every detail she revealed sent chills down my spine.If everything she said was true, then I had no choice. I had to stop this future from becoming reality.Callie’s hand trembled in mine as we re-entered the warm glow of the living room. Charlotte’s eyes lit up as she spotted us, but her smile quickly faltered when she saw our serious expressions.“Is everything alright?” she asked, her voice laced with concern.Callie forced a smile, her grip tightening on my hand. “Yes, everything’s fine. In fact, I’ve made a decision,” she said, her voice steady, though I could feel the tension radiating off her.All eyes turned to her, a

CALLIEI walked back into the parlor, the sound of the door closing softly behind me as I rejoined the rest of the family. Sophie hesitated in the doorway before following me, her eyes scanning the room like she was trying to figure out how to fit into this new reality.Charlotte, as though sensing the shift in atmosphere, clapped her hands together, drawing everyone's attention."Alright, everyone!" she announced brightly, her voice cutting through the tension. "We have a little tradition in this family. We always sing a Christmas song before we exchange gifts!"There was a chorus of excited murmurs, and I had to stifle a smile. This was all so… funny. I'd been through all of this before, seen every moment unfold in the future. And now here I was, back in the present, watching them play out their little traditions like I wasn’t about to change everything.I made my way over to the sofa where Sebastian was sitting, his eyes locking with mine the moment I approached. He pulled me close

CALLIE"Alright, let’s do this," I muttered under my breath, heading for the pile of wrapped gifts under the tree. “I'll go first.”I spotted Ethan in the corner of my eye, his mischievous smile already directed my way. That fool… he thought he had me figured out. Well, this time I’d show him just how wrong he was.I made my way over to the table, where the gifts were scattered around, carefully observing the ones with name tags. I saw my gift, written in bold letters, the one Ethan had prepared for me. Without hesitation, I picked up the box with my name on it and, with a casual movement, ripped off the tag. I quickly swapped it for Sophie’s name. Then, with a satisfied grin, I picked up the gift meant for her…a small, neatly wrapped box… and tucked it under my arm.Done.I turned back toward the group as everyone began to grab their presents.Ethan's gaze shifted toward me, his smile widening into a knowing grin as he saw me helding to the chair.He hadn't realized that his "gift"

SEBASTIANEveryone in the room was stunned into silence. Their wide-eyed expressions told me everything… they never saw it coming. Not from me. I had spent years playing the obedient son, toeing the line, and keeping my head down. But not anymore.Charlotte looked like she might faint. Her hand clutched the pearls around her neck as though they could somehow anchor her to reality. Ethan, meanwhile, just stood there, slack-jawed. He was always the favorite, the one who could do no wrong. But now, he was left picking up the pieces of a plan I had just shattered.“Sebastian,” Charlotte finally croaked, her voice trembling. “You can’t be serious. Do you even understand what you’re giving up?”“Oh, I understand perfectly,” I said, my tone razor-sharp. “I’m giving up a lifetime of manipulation, deceit, and living under the family’s thumb ” I jerked my head toward Mr. Thompson, whose face was still a dangerous shade of red. “I’m done.”“You’ll regret this,” Ethan muttered, his voice laced wi

CALLIEThis wasn’t what I expected. Not in the slightest. When I thought about running away with Sebastian, I had envisioned something a little more… peaceful. Maybe a quiet retreat where we could leave all the chaos behind, just the two of us, wrapped up in our own bubble of love.But now? It felt like an adventure. A wild one, but an adventure nonetheless.I glanced over at Sebastian as he focused on the road. There was something about the way he was driving, the way his jaw clenched with resolve, that made me want to just reach out and hold him. We were running from a life neither of us wanted, but this… this felt like the beginning of something new. Something real.And, honestly, as much as I was terrified of what the future held, a part of me was also loving it. Loving that it was just us now. No more lies, no more games, no more expectations to meet. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I could breathe.But then, just like that, the cold edge of reality slid in, a shiv

CALLIEI slapped Sebastian’s chest, the frustration bubbling inside me. “You should’ve just told me all this sooner! You could’ve spared me all the stress and drama.”He winced slightly, “I didn’t want to tell you because I knew you’d be scared. You wouldn’t have agreed to let my guy shoot her. Not here, not today.”I was about to retort when I glanced around, my gaze landing on the guests who still remained eerily silent. My heart tightened with a sudden wave of discomfort. “Wait… have the guests been informed about all of this? About what’s happening?”Sebastian gave me that damn smile of his, the one that made everything seem like it was under control. “Oh, they know. I had to tell them. I didn’t want there to be chaos when it all went down.”I narrowed my eyes. “You’re not serious,” I muttered, lightly hitting his head playfully. "You had to make sure everything went according to plan, even the guests."He chuckled softly. “Callie, you’re the one who’s always thinking things throu

CALLIEMy eyes were locked on Charlotte, blood staining the carpet around her. Why wasn’t anyone else reacting? Then, without warning, the doors burst open.Police officers flooded the room. I didn’t even have time to breathe before Nora walked in. She was followed by two other officers, their hands ready on their holsters.She moved toward Charlotte, her eyes scanning the scene slowly. The entire room seemed to tense as the officers approached Charlotte, who was still writhing on the floor, her hands desperately clutching at her bleeding legs."Charlotte Lawson," Nora’s voice rang out, echoing through the room, "You are under arrest for attempted murder. You’re also charged with the murder of Damon Wright and the murder of your son, Lucas Lawson."My heart skipped a beat. Attempted murder? Who’s Damon? Charlotte let out a painful, strangled scream as Nora and the officers knelt beside her. Her eyes were wide with terror, disbelief written all over her face. She tried to push hersel

CALLIEIt was my day. My fucking wedding day.They were doing my makeup, but I couldn’t stop staring at my reflection. The brushes moved across my face like they were supposed to, but my mind kept drifting, wondering how the hell I had ended up here. This was supposed to be the day I’d dreamed about since I was a little girl, the perfect celebration of love and happiness. But instead, all I could think about was how surreal it felt. Was this really happening? Was I really about to marry Sebastian?The makeup artist was still blending foundation on my cheeks, oblivious to the whirlwind in my head. The soft smell of flowers, the faint noise of voices around me…it all seemed like a dream.How did I get here? How had I gone from feeling like I was losing everything to standing here, about to walk down the aisle with the man who’d promised me forever?I caught my reflection again, my eyes roaming over the dress. It was beautiful, something I never thought I’d get to wear.The past few mon

SEBASTIANI kept my eyes on the road, but my attention was mostly on Callie. She was sitting there quiet, her fingers tapping nervously against her knee. I knew she was still upset about Charlotte… hell, I was too…but this surprise... it was meant to take her mind off things. It was meant to make her forget all about that witch and focus on us.I glanced over at her, and for a moment, our eyes met. I could see the worry still clouding her thoughts, but her lips curled up just slightly. That was all I needed. I wasn’t giving up. I had promised her everything, and I would keep that promise.I loved Callie more than anything. The thought of her standing by my side for the rest of our lives filled me with a sense of pride I couldn’t put into words. But today… today was about proving it. I wasn’t just going to let some meddling woman ruin our joy. Not today. Not ever.I pulled up to the curb, the tires rolling over the gravel, and stopped in front of the building. My heart was racing, my

CALLIEThe bell chimed softly as we stepped into the cake shop, the rich scent of vanilla and chocolate filled the air. The baker, a cheerful woman in her forties with flour dusting her apron, welcomed us with a bright smile.“Good afternoon!” she greeted. “You must be the Thompsons?”“That’s us,” Sebastian replied, wrapping an arm around my waist. “Or at least, soon-to-be Thompsons.”I smiled, still thinking about my wedding dress. I had just bought my dream wedding gown… a simple but stunning straight dress. I couldn’t wait to wear it as I walked down the aisle to marry the man standing beside me.The baker ushered us to a cozy table near the counter, where a variety of cake samples had already been laid out. “Alright, let’s get started. These are some of our most popular flavors. Feel free to let me know if there’s something specific you’d like to try.”We sat down, and I immediately reached for a small fork, eager to dive in. Sebastian, on the other hand, leaned back in his chair

CALLIEI was in the kitchen, still in my pajamas, hair tied up in a loose bun, trying to focus on slicing tomatoes without nicking my fingers.The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, and I found it comforting as I hummed softly to myself.I was just about to layer the slices onto the bread when a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind, pulling me gently against a warm chest.“My fiancée,” Sebastian’s deep voice purred into my ear, sending a shiver down my spine, “what are you cooking?”I smiled, not even bothering to turn around. “My fiancé,” I replied, mimicking his tone, “I’m making sandwiches for breakfast.”He chuckled, the sound vibrating against my back. “Sandwiches?” he murmured, his lips grazing my neck. “I don’t want to eat sandwiches.”I paused, raising an eyebrow as I turned slightly to look at him. “Oh? What do you want to eat then?”Sebastian grinned, his dark eyes gleaming mischievously as he leaned closer. “You.”I rolled my eyes, though I cou

SEBASTIANCallie looked at me, her eyes filled with concern. "What's wrong?" she asked gently, sensing the shift in my mood.I let out a deep breath, leaning back in my chair. "Charlotte was released from prison."She blinked at me, clearly not processing the news at first. "What? How? Why?""Yeah," I sighed. "Turns out, they didn’t have enough to hold her. So, she’s free."Callie’s eyebrows shot up, her lips parting in shock. "She’s free? Just like that?"I nodded. "Yeah, just like that. But it’s fine. I’m meeting with Nora tomorrow. We’ll figure this out."She leaned forward, concern etched on her face. "But if she’s out, doesn’t that complicate things? What if she comes after you again?"I smiled, a slow grin spreading across my face. "Charlotte thinks she’s smart, but I’m smarter. I’ve got a plan. A backup plan."She lifted her head. "Backup plan?"I leaned in a little, lowering my voice. "Plan B. It’s time to put it into motion."Callie sat back in her chair, eyes locked on mine

CALLIE The videographer approached us, his camera now lowered. “Congratulations,” he said warmly, extending his hand to Sebastian. “This turned out beautifully. I’ll have the footage edited and sent to you by tonight.”“Thanks, Matt,” Sebastian replied, shaking his hand. “You did an incredible job.”Matt nodded at me with a kind smile. “You’re going to love this when you see it. Congratulations again.”“Thank you,” I said, still slightly dazed by the realization that this entire moment had been documented. As Matt packed up his equipment and walked away, Sebastian turned to me, his hand resting lightly on my back.“Come on,” he said, steering me toward a table set up a few feet away.The table was set with twinkling candles, a crisp white tablecloth, and an array of dishes and wines.I stopped short, taking it all in. “Sebastian… this is incredible.”“I wanted it to be perfect,” he said simply, pulling out a chair for me. “For you.”The music continued to play softly in the backgroun

CALLIESebastian parked the car in a reserved spot, cutting the engine before stepping out. I barely had time to open my door before he was already there, holding out his hand for me like some kind of gallant prince.“Seriously?” I teased, slipping my hand into his as he helped me out of the car. “You’re making me feel like we’re about to walk a red carpet.”He chuckled, his grip gentle as we strolled toward the venue. The pathway was illuminated with fairy lights that twinkled like stars. The soft hum of live music floated through the cool evening air.I glanced at him, shaking my head with a bemused smile. “Sebastian, I don’t understand anymore. Isn’t this just dinner? You’re acting like this is some kind of royal event.”He stopped walking for a moment, turning to face me. His dark eyes softened as he brushed a strand of hair off my face. “It’s not just dinner, Callie. You’ve been through so much lately, and I wanted to give you something... magical. You deserve it.”My heart did t
