"Scott never comes to any family function or stuffs like these" Danielle shook her head while still looking at Scott through the window. I stared at him too and now he was just looking around. David was still talking but with someone else that joined them. Scott looked terribly bored.
"Why? Why doesn't he come?" I ask.
"Scott has a complicated and terrifying past. One which he's trying hard to overcome " Danielle smiled sadly. She seemed to me, closer to Scott than even his parents. I've only met Scott's mom and Val but the love this woman felt for him was more han their love. I'm sure.
"How complicated?"
She shook her head as if shaking some bad thoughts away. "He's been in battle with himself since he was five"
I gasp. That young? What happened. I wanted to ask

My alarm didn't wake me up today which was wasn't strange cause I'm not at my apartment. It doesn't smell like flour around me but musk. Manly musk. The scent of lemon. Scotts minty smell. I rolled over trying to get up but Scott's arms around me was tight. I was afraid he'll almost crush me.Since I couldn't move, I stared at him. Stared at his perfect face. Everything about it him drives me insanely crazy although, I'm not ready to admit that to him. Without thinking, I just ran my fingers down his jaw. Images of last night came flooding to my head. Him thrusting inside me, me moaning his name...my cheeks went hot instantly.Scott moved his hand so he could scratch his chin before returning them back around me."Scott" I whispered close to his ears. The sight of his lashes fluttering open, almost melted my heart. He's so handsome. How did I get so lucky? He smiled when he saw me staring at him."Good mor

I arranged a pile of pancakes on a plate. Taking the pan off of the cooker, I cleaned the countertop. It wasn't so sparkling when I started cooking but I suspect Scott doesn't even clean his own house.I dabbed the rag around a few times the moment my phone rang I picked it."Hey Adrianna!" It's actually been a while since we spoke. And by her tone, I'll say she's got a favour to ask."Hey Stormy. Can we see? I need to ask you something"For some reason I don't know, I stared around to see if Scott was out."Sure. Tomorrow?""Great. Thanks Stormy"The line went dead and I placed my phone on the counter. I don't have much friends here. Adrianna is pretty much my only friend. Apart from David that is."Who were you talking to?" Scott asked as he walked into his kitchen with nothing but loose pants and I was left to stare at his tattooed ches

David cleared out both his plate and mine before insisting to wash the dishes. My phone vibrated but I ignored it. It's probably Scott trying to tell me to make David leave."Movie?" I asked him immediately we sat on the comfortable sofa. I grabbed the remote."Sure. What do you like to watch?""You really don't want to watch the movies i watch" I said with a little chuckle."Try me""Two broke girls it is then"Half way into the movie and I was full on laughing. David didn't find it so funny but weird. But he laughed a couple of times. Especially the part Carol got compressed by a bed.My phone vibrated and I checked the new message.Why aren't you picking my calls?I smiled. Some few hours and he's already jumping my bones out. If you ask me, I'd say he misses me already but proud Scott would never admit that. I

Scott immediately transfered his hands from his sides to my waist pulling me close to him. His body heat warming me up to the best it could. There was another movement behind and Scott stiffened."Stormy dear" Danielle came into the garden. Worry for her nephew was etched all over her face but when she saw how calm he was now, she smiled. "Both of you come in. It's getting real cold out"I looked at Scott and he was throwing me get me out of here glances. I took his hands in mine leading him back to the house. Daniel and his dad, Carter sat by the counter dipping into salad bowls. David smiled when he saw me."Stay for dinner?" Danielle asked us."No""Yes" both I and Scott say at the same time. I glared at him and he was looking far away, out into the garden in the distance. I tugged at his arm. "We'll stay for dinner" I smiled at Danielle and she nodded before walking off.

I folded my hair around my finger. A habit I had when I was a child. I didn't know I still possessed it until now. Seating in the lecture hall, waiting for the professor to show up I kept thinking to what Adriana has to ask me."What's taking him so long?" David muttered."Maybe he has a fever or got stuck in traffic." I point out and David chuckled.'Fever huh?"Just then, the class door opened and a young man stepped into the class. His hair was dark brown and he had on glasses. He didn't give off the old professor vibe but looked young and vibrant."Sorry for the wait class" he smiled apologetically. "From today, I'm taking you Literature" he announce and I looked at David who also looked at me. I guess we're thinking the same thing? Shouldn't he be seating with us to learn, not teaching us?"He doesn't look a day over twenty three" David mumbled close to my ear and I n

Adriana tapped on my desk drawing my attention. I looked up from my coffee and smiled at her. She took the seat opposite me. David was supposed to be here any minute but he's not. I don't know how he'd react if he sees Anna. He doesn't seem to like her much."Hey Anna. How's your today?" I asked and she nodded with a smile."I was hoping I could move in today after my classes" she pinched the ends of her yellow jotter creating a tear. I cringed."Sure. Your last is Yoga?" I asked and she nodded."Mine too. We'll just help you settle in" I said with a little smile hoping she doesn't see the nervousness I'm showing off right now. Her hands tangled with mine."Thank you so much Storm" she said and I cring. I'm only ever used to Scott calling me Storm and no one else."Your welcome."I spotted David's blonde hair walking into the school cafe and I waved for hi

Scott took slow precise steps toward me. His hands connected with mine before he pulled me in for a slow, demanding kiss. He took me by surprise but I found myself responding to his kiss.Anna moved behind us and i pulled away breathless. "What are you doing here?" I asked him.His eyes move from my face to the tight yoga pants I was wearing and that made me grin. I brushed past him to open my door."You wasted some time getting here and I sent you a text" Scott frowned.Anna came in through the door and Scott glared at her. I can notice the tension in the room but I shrugged it off. I pointed toward the bedroom and she thanked me before walking away."I didn't see any text" I say leaning into him."Why is she here?" Scott asked. I moved my arms round his neck and brushed my lips against his, feeling just a little bit bold."She's going to be staying with

I watched Danielle ice the little cupcakes we've been working on for minutes now. She called it our little wonders after which David frowned saying he thought he was her little wonder."Idiot!" Scott called him out and we all laughed.She placed the now iced cupcake on a flat tray and sighed rolling her napkin away. "Phew! That's one iced cupcake" she touched the top of a cake with the tip of her nails. "They're so cute""I know. I fall in love with the little things after I make them and then feel sorry and contented when I eat them" I chuckled and Danielle laughed."Wait till Carter sees this. He'd fall in love with me all over again" she grinned proudly and I smirked remembering her husband's tease the other day at dinner. Such a lovely moment. One which after, I'd cried and Scott thought I was stupid. Well he didn't say that..."Are we placing them in containers?" I asked her

Playlist;The Scientistby Corinne Bailey Rae ••• Two Years Later "You make a beautiful bride" I say to Val and her eyes brighten up like lots of stars. She seems so happy, carefree and have been super nice recently. Actually, it all started when she started dating that Ben guy. Remember? The eye-glass guy. The one that creeped the hell out of Scott at his sendforth party 2years ago. Speaking of Scott... When he left to Milan, we'd been in touch. He'd called a lot of times, we face-timed. And even though it wasn't always easy, with him being so far away, we coped. More than once I'd seen him with other girls on social meida and I'd grow jealous but he'd say they're only friends. We had a fight once because of that, and we didn't speak for a whole week but we made right up. Since then, we didn't speak much. We seemed to just distance oursel

I walk down the aisle of Target mall, picking whatever junk there is to pick. Scott is by my side. One hand stuffed in his pocket, while the other navigated the trolley.It's his last day here in NY with me and we decided to do some shopping. It wasn't the most fanciest thing to do together seeing he was leaving tomorrow but who cares! He solely agreed to come shopping with me even though he hated shopping, and malls all together."Is that all you want babe?" He asked and I grin. Oh yeah, he's paying for all the junk I pick. Consider it a little present for his going away. It's been months since I came to the realization that Scott wouldn't be with me again for a long time, but now the burden is just weighing on me so much, because it's so close."Not exactly. I want more snacks" I say and take a left turn on another aisle. Scott being the patient boyfriend that he was, followed me without complaining.

Two weeks since Scott and I have been back together. The sentence seemed impossible but here we are. Now we're planning for Scott's sendforth party to Milan. He'd be leaving in two days time, and Elle just saw it fit to throw him a party as we might not see for a year or months."That's a very unlucky color" Scott said in a annoyance behind me."Are you being sarcastic or you're just being an ass" I tell him and his eyes roll."Oh yeah, my sarcasm meter is really red right now" he sends me a short and attitudinal smile which sends me into a fit of laughter. And like all other events, Scott was thinking of sitting this one out too. But he can't, because the event was made for him."Try out the navy blue suit" I suggest."Are you fucking with me right now? It's a sendforth not a wedding!" He growls."But you want to look good" I tell him, his left brow go up.

I have my hair In a loose bun by the time I'm out for the shower, I oiled my skin, making it glow so bright. My eyes are no longer dull, my lip is no longer twitched in an annoying manner. I feel happy with myself. Happy that I'm happy within. The very person that's brought me sorrow in the last few months is now the same person making me happy. He's always been the one making me happy.And even when he couldn't remember me, somtimes I sat and thought of what could've been, or what had been. I visited the lake so many times, remembering the time I went there with Scott. I woee most of his shirts at night, and I listened to The Fray so much because it reminded me of him and the time we first argued about a favorite band, on one of the first days we met.I smile, glaring at myself in the mirror before I walk out of the bathroom, I fling on one of Scott's shirt on as I know he always loved when I wore it. Nothing's changed I hope.

Storm POVWhen I wake up, my eyes immediately dart to the floor-to-ceiling window, covered with grey and white curtains. Then I turn to stare at the grey pillow. My head didn't hurt so much, I wasn't feeling too drowsy, and I feel light.The door pushed opened and in walks Scott, his eyes wide when he sees me on the bed, then he drops the tray in his hand before hurrying to me. His arms wrap round my body and I'm rigid for a while before I burst into a fit of tears, my arms almost strangling the air out of him as I hold him tight."I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he muttered, his voice shaking. When he pulls away a little bit, I see tears in his eyes and they're red. It's not everyday you see Scott cry, and seeing him cry now, just jerks me."You remember now" I mutter with tears, my palms touching both his cheeks.He lowers his head, sobbing and hiccuping some more, I place my hand

Scott POVThe back of my head is stinging with so much pain as I try to get up from the floor. Kim is hovering over me with a look of what I think is worry in her eyes. I glare at Nolan who suddenly looked guilty for hitting me."Are you ok?" Kim asks, her palms touching my cheek.I stare round the room at the eyes staring down at me. Kale is missing and so is..."Where's Storm?" I ask as I hurry to get off the floor. Kim eyes flew wide when I ask of Storm."Did you just call her Storm and not Stormy?" Nolan asked, approaching me carefully."What the fucking hell is wrong with all of you? Where is Storm?" I yell.I see Kale run back, look of panic on his face. "I really can't find her anywhere" he says and I frown."Who?" I ask him."Stormy" Kale sighs, his hands flying into his hair."Don

Scott POVI follow Kim back into the house. Somehow, talking with Stormy made me feel relaxed about something. I don't feel so hostile agaisnt her anymore."Want a drink?" Kim asked me and I shake my head. I'm staying away from that one this night."You said Kale was looking for me""No he wasn't. I just missed you" she pouts, lifing her legs up to plant a kiss on my cheek and I sigh. I should've known it was a lie. But whatever, it's Kim and it's not new so there's no point getting mad at her.When she's done kissing my cheek, she wraps her arms round my neck, and my hand go round her waist. She's nibbling on my ear. "Let's have some fun" she whispers to me and before I can answer, she starts pulling me toward a nested couch area."Hey Kim!" The bartender calls her and her head quirks before she looks at me."Wait here" she says and then

Stormy POV"Don't tell me Escala is the place you wanted us to hang out at" I said to Nolan when we pull up on the street lane to the party mansion. I still can't understand why a place like that could be used as a party hangout spot for horny and crazy teenage kids."You don't like here?" Nolan asked.I don't just dislike the place. I hate the place. It's the reason I and Scott are apart now. The reason so many bad things happened to Scott and and I. And I'm not not neglecting the fact that Scott is going to be there with Kim."Just relax alright?"Kale invited me for his birthday party, but I purposely wanted to skip it, and here I am pulling up into Escala's driveway. I let out a sigh, preparing for another worst night of my life.The party is already on. Half dressed females as usual, all packed out by the pool, while guys with hot trunks drove into th

Flames! I'm in a car. I'm not little. I'm my big self, watching my little self crying for my grandparents that are locked up in flames inside the car. How I got out is still a miracle to me. I'm standing, watching, helpless. There's nothing I can do. I try to move. Try not to hold the little boy that's crying, and comfort him, but I can't. Then there's that voice. A females voice that I've been hearing in my nightmares"You don't love me anymore, I need you back!" Knock! Knock!I groan getting up from bed at the continuous knocking going on at my room door. My head is throbbing and I'm having a site headache. It's been like this for hours, that's why I took a nap, but it's still there."What?!" I bark when I open the door and see one of the guys staring at me, his eyes wide at my rudeness, but he should be used to it now."Kale said to wake you up. Party starts in an hou
