Her phone doesn't ring at first but I try again. She doesn't pick. Is this she avoiding me or something is wrong. I grab my car keys from my drawer, walking out of my room. Val is following me, with questions written all over her face. Ones I'm not willing to answer right now.
"Are you driving back to New York right now?" Val yelled from behind me. I swirl around just so I could unlock my car and throw my bag in, but Val was standing in front of me already.
"Move" I demand and she doesn't, just stood firm.
"This is no longer about dad is it?" She questions. What does it even matter? I walk pass her and slide my door opened, slipping in. "Scott, answer me"
I bang my door shut, driving away from the lot immediately before Val could even think of getting into the car. She's done it before, and she would do it again.
As I drive with my phone in hand, I keep tapping it against the steering whee
I grab Scott by his coat, pulling him into the room I was admitted in. There, we can have some privacy."What are you doing here?""I came because I...I miss you" he mutter but it doesn't last, his voice raising again. "We've only been apart for roughly a week and you're already with your ex?""His name is Nolan""I don't give three fucks about what he's called. Why is he even here?"I stare at the door hoping no one comes in right now. "He's the one that brought me to the hospital""Because he got you drunk!" Scott snapped. "What if he took advantage of you"I appreciate him trying to look out for me, but I've known Nolan almost all my whole life and he wouldn't do such a thing to me. I got drunk on my own, it was my mistake but right now, Scott was looking at me as if he would rush out and strangle Nolan any minute. I held into his jacket, tight.
Scott is by my side when I wake up. He had his eyes set on me and I'm wondering how long he's been like that. His hand takes mine in his, in a grasp."How did you sleep?""Good""Good morning" He leaned down to press a kiss to my lips. "the nurse was in here earlier. She did some few check ups and you're discharged""Oh... that's good" I seat up with his help until I rest my head on his chest."Storm. Can we talk? Like really talk?""Sure" I look into his eyes to see relief. A day ago and I wasn't willing to hear whatever he had to say. The door opened and mom came in, a smile all-over her face. I'm sure she saw how close we were but didn't mind it as she pulled me into her arms."Oh baby...never scare me like that again ok?""Yes mom"She turns to Scott who still hasn't taken his eyes off of me and I'm glad for that.
My bedroom door is slammed shut, Scott tugged me close to his body, latching unto me in desperation. The two of us locked in a passionate embrace. It's been too long. His mouth moved against my lower lips, tugging it. Granting him access, I felt his hot tongue against mine .His hands came behind me to grab my ass and I moaned at the feel of the heat crawling between my thighs as we both continued to ravish each other, his hands clutching into my hair tightly. Keeping my head locked to him as I try to breath."Scott..." I moaned his name when his hands lifted me up and I automatically wrap my legs round his waist. A guttural groan escape him as I grip his shoulders. I could feel his arousal press against my heat and blushed as my arousal heightened, the need between my legs only increasing.He seemed to hesitate as he stares back at me, looking into my orbs. I'm holding unto him."I love you"
Scott POVI've walked past a lot of suburban homes with picket fence. Once, I've seen some cats poop on the garden daises. Waked past some blocks of coffee shops and I'm not surprised why Storm and her mom live here. They're literally surrounded by tons of cafes. Now I know why and how Stormy's caffeine obsession came about.Storms hometown is much more relaxing than I thought it'd be. There's not even much bar here. I thought I'd have to worry about seeing some stray drunks on the road or some guys fighting by the corner. When Storm told me how her dad used to trash into their house after hours of having liquors at local bars, I figured there'd be more people like him in this neighbourhood. Davisville neighbourhood.I'm standing in front of a church now. There's a big cross on the roof and the building is huge. I can't remember the last time I went to church or even got down on my knees to pray. Fuck!
Scott takes my hand leading us into the hospital, his body is tensed all of a sudden so I pat his arm slightly. I spot Val walking to us. She looks relaxed but I could see behind that little facade that all she wanted to do right now was cry it out or trash around something."You're finally here" She hugs Scott and he holds her too."Where's mom?""I'll lead you to her room" Val tells him and then turns to me with a smile. "I'm glad your here, Stormy""It's no worry" I really want to see Grace too. She was really nice to me the first time we met, up until she left the house. We take the elevator up, all the while, Scott keeps licking his lips out of nervousness and roughing his hair with his hand. The door finally opened and we step into a lobby."She was admitted yesterday" Val said and pushed a door opened. I'm happy to see Danielle and Carter there. David, however, is missing.
It feels good to be seated in Scott's Camaro again. Didn't think I'd say it but I've missed the leather chair and the mint scent of Scott that always lingered in the air. I flay my gown at the end to at least reach my knees, cause the car is cold."Do you think we should've stayed?" I ask Scott when he got in next to me. He quickly turned the heater on."My mom gave us the go ahead to leave. Aren't you tired?" He starts the car and then place his hand on my thigh as he drove out of the parking lot."I am but...""No buts. I'm hungry as hell" Scott sighs. He does a quick entry into the road without looking if there were oncoming vehicles and I squeaked."Oh my gosh!...that was dangerous and illegal" I reprimand him."Relax. Dear old dad is a governor. If I get arrested, he might be useful after all" He spits. I don't even talk about the bend anymore. Talking about his dad i
"Is everything alright there?" Mom asked me. I'm currently seating on Scott's bed in only his shirt, my legs crossed in front of me and my back against the headrest."Yeah... hopefully, Grace would be discharged by tomorrow and in time for Thanksgiving on Sunday" I hum.The sound of the shower going off made me close my eyes."You seem quiet. Are you alright dear?""Yeah... I'm good. It's just... I've got something on my mind""What is it?"I sigh rolling my head back. It's about what Scott was about to say yesterday. He could've said it, but he didn't. I really wish he did, it would've meant the world to me. Asking me to marry him so we could move into a huge mansion and probably have kids...but I know Scott dislikes kid anyway."You don't want to talk about it?" Mom caught in."Yes. At least not now""Very well the . I r
Scott POVI love her. I love her with everything that I am. Every single fucking being. How can she still be with me right now? I'm messed up. But yet, she still here and trying to make me feel better about myself. Maybe I can, but I don't deserve it. I haven't even earned it.She noticed my paused state cause I've been staring at her for a while now, not saying nothing. I just need to have a good look at her. Her nose is pink from the cold outside, she has this perfect glow in her eyes that I can't seem to out my finger on. It draws me everytime. It's like a sea of trust, love and I keep drowning in it every single day. She must've out a spell on me, cause I've never been so in love with anyone like this before.Really, I have never been in love with anyone. She's my first and hopefully my last. I may not be her first but I hope to be her last and I'm really working on it.She must've not
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
