Scarlett's POV:
All i think about right now is Anthony..
It was the middle of the night and he's still not home, after i ran to my room i stayed there, my mom came twice to check up on me, but i wasn't ready to talk to her, yet..
I wanted to call Anthony but i remembered i don't have his phone number...i was so worried about him, he's not use to be that late, i wonder what could happen if he knows the truth, i bet things will change between us when he know.
i was about to close my eyes and go to sleep but…i heard footsteps on the stairs, he's finally here, i opened my door i wanted to check up on him, i looked at him, he opened his door and was about to enter his room but he stopped, he shoot me one of his deadly glares, as if i was the only source of annoyance in this world, i froze didn't move, suddenly he closed the door after he entered his room. i sigh, i understand his feelings, i don't blame him anymore.
I entered my room but i couldn't sleep, i decided i should play violin since it become a habit, every time I’m sad i play it, i held my violin closed my eyes and started playing, just some random beat, it's what i do when I’m nervous, After a while of playing, my door cracked open, i turned in surprise, to see Anthony glaring at me.. he was walking towards me his footsteps weren’t the usual. Is he drunk?.
He stood right in front of me his closeness caused me Goosebumps, i become nervous while my heart beats accelerated, i looked at him in confusion, what is he doing?
out of sudden he touched my left hand the one I was holding the violin with, he took the violin with his hand and looked at it.
"among of all musical instruments you choose violin? why? do you have to torture me like this? do you have to remind me every second of her? ". he said angrily taking one step away from me.
I'm opening his wounds!!
me playing violin? does it bothering him this much?
I loved it when his mom used to play violin whenever we ask her. it's because of her I became an amazing player like this.
"you know how much I loved it when she was playing violin, and I know it was our favorite sound back then, it still the same for me, it still the greatest thing I've ever heard, actually it's the only thing that makes me feel better, that I'm safe, that I'm alive ". I said moving closer to Anthony but he lost control and threw my violin on the floor. my violin turned into broken pieces in less than two seconds, I was very close to it, a sharp piece flew over my right cheek and cause me a deep wound. I put my right hand to touch it and I saw blood. but I didn't care about it. my violin's broken!!!!!
"nooooo!! ". I screamed while Anthony covered his ears with his hands, he gave me a terrified look before running away out of my room.
nooo, I can't believe he just broke my violin. this is my first violin ever.
I sat on the floor with my broken heart, holding the pieces of my violin, feeling a stab in the middle of my heart.
"why? why would you do this? ". I said crying my heart, I was tearing up.
"honey what's going on?!!! ". mom entered my room with a terrified face.
"he_he broke my violin ". I said while mom hugging me. she said nothing, she just took me to bed and said nothing more than "he needs time honey, in the end, you do play violin like her, that's like open up wounds but only to heal them, and to heal wounds we need a lot of time ". mom said planting a kiss on my forehead.
I cried till I fell asleep..
****************************************
Anthony's POV:
I kill people in my mind.
I only see the bad side in everything.
03:01 AM time is running.
Another minute just passed.
That sound is killing me.
It's in my head, listening to her playing violin like that.
I think it's the best sound that i actually heard.
It's the only sound i liked besides my mother's voice.
That soft sound of violin just, made me remember things..
I remember the day she left, my mother.
It was spring.
I loved spring, it was my favorite season!!.
Now i hate spring.
I remember that day...
Flashback:
I feel the sun burning my eyes but I’m not angry or sad, I’m just happy cause it's sun of spring i opened my eyes slowly, a wide smile appeared on my face when i notice mom beside me on bed. she was trying to wake me but I’m already up.
"You're awake?" She said with surprised tone. "morning mom" i smiled at her.
" morning Tony" she smiled making me getting up the next thing I know I was hugging mom, i was exited it was spring ,finally!!i don't like winter.
Winter is dark.
Spring makes me feel I’m in heaven.
My mother was laying beside me on my small bed. Suddenly i felt her hand making her way to my stomach. i started giggling knowing my mom well ,she's about to tickle me, she really likes to torture me like this.
Allot.
"Hahaha mom please stop pppplease...hahahahah oh no mom hahahaa.."
Next thing my mom stopped tickling me "okay enough now" a small laugh left her lips "so what are you gonna do today?"
"I was thinking about going to the park with lil scar it is a good day to go and have some fun". "well, can’t you two play tomorrow or something. I want to spend some time with my son today cause i missed him ,plus I’m not working today, what do you think?"
"I don't know mom i promised lil scar to meet her today and go to play". I was exciting to go and spend some time with mom but i promised lil scar ."so ,what if we go all together to watch a movie? then you go play with her". "Yaaaay !!yes mommy i love you".
Mom is the best momy in the world.
"you're always late Tony boy, I’m mad at you" lil scar said she was in the park already. "no you always come early lil scar" she was really mad she didn't even want to look at me.
"Hey lil scar are you really mad?" "i don't know dummy boy what do you think?"
"well i think Scar looks like the beautiful princess from the movie Snow white" her face turned red i started giggling , this works every time.
"Thanks Tony boy" she said with her eyes staring to the floor. "I have a surprise for you lil Scar" she immediately looked at me. "really??" "yep, do you want to go with me and mommy to watch a movie then we go to play?" I can see her smile grow on her face.my favorite smile.
"Yaaaay yes yes! Yesssss!" "okay then let's go cause i left my mom waiting in the car she said she'll call mrs. marie so she won't be worried about you". "yes let's go come on"
She held my hand and we both started running.
"that movie was so cool" lil Scar said. we watched "Cinderella”. “thank you for the movie Mrs. Smith" "yeah mom thanks for the movie". I’m so happy i could spend time with my two favorite people in the world.
"You're welcome guys i love you so much both of you" then she hugged us.
"I’ll give you a ride to the park then go to make dinner" mom gave us a ride to the park she opened the car door and followed us to the park she gave me a tight hug "lil Scar do you promise me to be my son's friend no matter what and take care of him?"
"ma'am i know that Tony boy sometimes act like dummy boy but don't worry i like him in my life so i'll always take care of him, he's my best friend". she smiled my mom hugged her and then hugged me and said" take care Anthony my boy and don't be late okay?" "okay mom i won't be late don't worry". she got up and started walking to the car.
"Tony boy i love your mother she's beautiful and funny she's so cool" i turned to lil Scar "yeah i love her too lil scar she's the best" then we started playing we had so much fun.
I said goodbye to lil Scar i told her i promised mom that i won't be late.
I got back home i didn't find my mom she was always the one who open the door to me but this time it was my father who opened that door.
"dad? Where's mom?" Dad run to me and pulled me into a tight hug "I’m sorry son we lost your mother" he started crying" let's go and find her dad maybe she is at..." dad looked into my eyes. his eyes were drowning in tears" son your mother. ..she…she died"
she died…mom died…
"Dad you mean she died like Scar's cat?"
Dad was surprised when he heard my words "yes my son, yes like Scar's ..cat"
I knew that feeling… But this time it wasn't a cat who died..
It was my mother.
She's gone.
Forever.
End of flashback.
Back then i was only six years old.
i still remember the funeral.
Spring turned to winter cause everything was dead to me since that day.
After the funeral dad decided to move on and go to London he said he got a job there. Then he got married again with that witch.
A witch who has two faces.
A real face and a fake nice face.
A real face she always used it when my father wasn't at home.
The second she only use it when my father's at home.
I hate it when i get drunk...i broke Scarlett's violin, she was hurt, the hurt in her eyes i can never delete that scene from my mind, i regret doing it, but she deserves it, she once hurt me too.
*************************************
Scarlett's POV:"Ugh..my head ". I said holding my head between my hands.what do I expect after crying the whole night, I woke up looking at the place where my violin fell last night. well it wouldn't fell if someone didn't threw it on purpose.if there's something I feel for Anthony now then it's nothing less than hate.I took a quick shower and dressed up for school. I looked to the mirror."oh! no! ". I said checking the scar on my cheek. it was new, I touched it with my right hand."ouch! still hurting". I said .I opened my door to see Anthony facing me, i ignored him immediately. i can't even face him, I think I need time as much as he do.I decided to not have my breakfast. I kissed mom on the cheek, " morning mom, I'm not in the mood for breakfast today"."oh! darling? you feel any better? ". mom asked me with her worried eyes. "i'll let you know when I' am mom". I said holding my backpack.I was ready to go to school cause i already texted Jason to come pick me up, i was out
Scarlett's POV:He was moving closer and I froze, unable to move.He raised his thumb and touched the scar on my right cheek softly. my heart started racing and my breath was fading slowly.His eyes fixed on my scar for a moment seemed more like eternity. we stood there without words. his eyes traveled to my eyes.He started saying, but I suddenly glimpsed a spark of anger inside his eyes.He hit the table behind me with his hand.he was angry again. for no reason. But then closed his eyes to swallow the anger, he was calme once again."you know, err_the thing on your cheek". He said nervously trying to look at everything but my eyes.I focused my eyes on him, he was so bad at this."you broke my violin, nothing on earth would make me forget about it". I said with a sad voice."It's just a damn violin, a normal damn violin". he said with annoyed voice."No it's not, that violin was the nearest thing to my heart over the passed twelve years, but you broke it". I said feeling a tear fal
Scarlett's POV:I stood there frozen, for a second I imagined not going to the party after all I went through today, picking the dress and listening to Anna's long speech every time I don't like a dress.he was just about to get out of my room, but all of sudden Anthony was beneath me, while me? I was on top of him!! apparently I jumped on him, the next thing I was doing was, beating the shit out of him with the bear I was holding. I imagined myself as his maid instead of going to that party, I started to lose it."Get off me you criminal!! That really hurts!!" he said while I continued what I was doing. "So you want me to stay here with you as your maid!! And not go to the party with my friends!!! hyaaaa" I said beating him again on his head. "Okay !okay!! just get offf meeee" he said screaming, yeah that's how things work.I took my phone away from him "don't mess with my phone again" I said getting off him. "Plus I still have your naked picture from the day we had shower together
Scarlett's POV:I gasped when a tall guy punched Jake on his face."Who the hell are you!!!?"Jake asked, "I'm someone she needed his help" he said while Jake froze, he glared at me ,"just so you know, I Soo cheated on you, and not only once" he said and left. I felt a horrible pain in my stomach, the way his words hurt me…I was lost and about to fall apart, but the boy held my hand and took me to the back yard, I don't even know this guy didn't even look at his face, when I finally had the chance I raised my head to look at him to see he was already staring at me, his blue eyes were locked with mine…he was a tall guy with a short blond hair."I'm sorry you had to go through this, but why are you by yourself, and believe me someone like you can do better than that brat..."he started saying making me smile a bit, my heart warmed at his words."I know...thanks anyway" I said looking to the black sky, the cold air hit me, I noticed I was wearing this dress in a cold night like this, The
Scarlett's POV:"You could've just wake me like normal people do Anna!!" I said standing up after Anna pushed me out of my bed. "well it didn't work, that's why I pushed you off the bed!! what the hell am I and Nat doing here? Don't tell me i did some stupid shit after all the drinking last night! "she said coming closer to me. "plus I have a horrible hangover, and I can't remember anything, so please do me a favor and tell me what i got myself into last night!!"she said holding her head with her hands. "well, last night you told me you have a big crush on Eric" I said joking. "what?" Anna said with her eyes wide open, I’ve noticed her pale face, and let's not mention her shaky hands. "calm down girl!! I was just kidding" I said laughing at her reaction. “well I know I’m no good person when I’m drunk so…yeah" Anna said laughing nervously.“you do like him!!" I said jumping and laughing at the same time. "shut up!! we don't want him to hear that now don't we?" she said laughing. She p
Scarlett's POV:"I needed an employer since I fired one today. However since you can't act like people? Then you're leaving me no choice ". I looked at mom with wide eyes. "mom you're not telling me that... "I said moving closer to mom."In fact, yes dear, I'm telling you that starting from this day, you'll be working with me, both of you are gonna start acting like people, and as a punishment you're gonna have to do home works and studying together too, understood? " mom asked us with an angry eyes."yes ma’am" we said looking at each other."As a start, you can go clean this mess as a team!! and remember team never fight" and with that mom left to her room."this is all your fault, I was just gonna order pizza "I said angrily."it's not my fault that you washed rice with soap ". he said laughing again."whatever ". I said started cleaning the mess."clean this mess and clean your selves while I order pizza "mom said."extra cheese "I said forgetting about everything.mom shot me a
Scarlett’s POV:Anthony was waiting for me to get inside his car, I ignored him, I rather walk than get inside his car , however he continued to follow me, I was bothered, I glared at him angrily, "would you stop that?" I said after I started walking again, but he just kept on following me."just get in!! you know how much the hotel is far from here, it'll take at least twenty minutes" he said, I rolled my eyes can't believe I gave up already."you know, I’m only getting in your car, because you acted like a stalker" I said saving my water face, he only smirked, "it's okay, I know how girls can't stay away from me" he said still smirking, " of course!! you're arrogant too!" I said looking outside my window ignoring him.Anthony and I didn't share a lot of talk on our way, although I can say I’m a little impressed of how good voice he has that jerk, he was singing along with his favorite songs, which they weren't that bad. "we're here" he said after we were finally in front of a huge
Scarlett's POV:He was standing right there with his wide open eyes, he froze there, while his eyes were traveling from my top to toes."what the hell.. " I said while his pale face blushed a little bit, he went outside closing the door behind him."when you…when you finish come to my room". he said behind the door.What?"and why the hell is that?? " I asked, confused."you perv, it's for homework, PS: I don't bite" he said letting me blush a little, thank god he saw me wearing that towel, but still, I feel... embarrassed. After I finished and got dressed up, I headed to his room, I decided to knock first."come in" he said, the door was swung open, however my eyes were wide open when I was facing Anthony’s bare chest, he was staring at me with his breathtaking black eyes, "don't you think it's a lil bit cold to be shirtless? "I said blushing a lil bit."why? seeing this made you think how irresistible I ‘am? " he said showing off his muscles to me, "let's get this finished ASAP, I'm
Scarlett’s POV:I watched as Anthony made his way towards me, I backed away, still staring at his black eyes, not smiling back. “Scar…come on, didn’t you miss me?” he asked, “I think we should text Eric to come” I started, “what? Seriously?” he said, I gave him a serious look.“Yeah, since you’re afraid to stay alone with me!” I snapped, his eyes widened, “That was nothing!! Scar, you got it wrong…” he started, I shook my head making my way pass him.“Scarlett….Please, listen to me!” his voice was louder this time. “And why should I listen to you? I mean, you didn’t even bother to tell me you were going to London…do you know how much I was hurt? Do you know that I spend the whole night looking for you everywhere?” I said, feeling my eyes watering just remembering that night.“I was supposed to party my winning, but I found myself shattered…” I added, “Scarlett listen…” he said, closing his eyes, seeming sad, and hurt.“No…you listen...can you imagine how bad I felt when I had to find
Scarlett’s POV:I was still not convinced, how could Anna ask something like that? “He’s a really nice guy…” she was still convincing me. She glared at Nat, trying to get some help from her, “You got nothing to lose, you were trying to push everyone away lately” Nat stood, and approached me. “You’re all messed up, you really need to stop making excuses like studying, or…come on, you even started cooking!” Nat shook her head, as if that was the worst thing ever.“Steffen dies!” I snapped, she gasped, placing a hand on her heart, “And so Enzo…and guess who killed him, it was Steffen!!!” I said middle fingering her, her eyes widened, I could see Anna’s arms crossed over her chest.“IS THAT TRUE!!!” Nat yelled, staring at Anna, “NO!! She’s just messing with you!!” Anna said, pulling Nat in a tight hug, and gave me a deadly glare.“If I agree to go on that blond date…can you stop all the drama?” I said, I know already that that blond date won’t work, because I was sure and certain that I w
Scarlett’s POV:“What?” I asked, my mother was talking as if she had just won the lottery, “Mom…he didn’t call, it’s just another game…” I said, she shook her head, “No! Wait, why would you say that? This is your best friend, and he didn’t leave” she added, “He just left because Megan wanted a closure” she said, I opened my mouth to say something but didn’t even bother.I started to walk upstairs, but mom grabbed my hand, “He’s not a bad boy, you think I’d let my daughter love someone like that?” she said, I sighed, “What do you want me to say mom? I can never believe Anthony, he really screwed up this time!” I said, “Even if he was back, I don’t want to talk to him, like never…” I said, she gave me a surprised look.And with that, I went upstairs, but when I was about to enter my room, I stopped, turning around slowly, looking to his empty room that was opened. I sighed, shaking my head, then stepping inside my room.Then suddenly, my phone started ringing, I didn’t bother to see who
Scarlett’s POV:The shock left me breathless, “Are you okay?” Sophie asked me, “Are you sure?” I asked her, my knees trembling, “Positive, she told me this morning!” she said, seeming honest.My eyes widened, he left? Was that his plan from the beginning? To be everywhere around me, to create this whole new world of caring, loving and protecting, and then disappear? Just like that? And take everything with him to London, with Megan…I nodded, “Thank you for telling me” I said my voice cold, Sophie gave me a concerned look. It was the first time that I couldn’t react, or show I was in pain, maybe because I was getting used to it, I mean it wasn’t the first time. He had done this before!It was so hard to focus inside the class, it was literally the worst day of my life, never felt so needy, or weak before now. Staring at the void, spacing out, and not having any idea what was going on around me.*****************“I had no idea…I swear!” Eric said on lunch, I was still staring at the vo
Scarlett’s POV:I had a horrible pain in my stomach, I felt like I want to puke from the shock, I was completely shocked, shattered and confused…Was he pretending all the time? Our friendship was just a game? Why would he do that? Why would he offer to go somewhere and then he ask for backup, saying he doesn’t want to be left alone with me…I could feel my knees weakening, and I couldn’t find him anywhere… but I knew who to talk to, I knew who had the answer.“ERIC!!!” I yelled, walking towards him, feeling frustration, madness and almost ready to throw up my heart from pain.“What is it?” he asked, seeming worried, “what is this?” I asked him, showing him the messages. He narrowed his eyes reading, suddenly his eyes widened, “is that Jason’s phone?” he asked, changing the subject.“Answer the damn question…” I said, opened his mouth to explain, “It’s not what you think…” he started, I shook my head, “okay then…tell me what am I supposed to think?” I asked, “Listen, you really have to
Scarlett’s POV:He placed the necklace around my neck, his breaths tickling my neck, I couldn’t believe he was so close to me. My heartbeats accelerated wildly, as if my heart could never beat faster than that. But I realized I was wrong, my heart could beat faster than that, because Anthony’s words made me lose my mind…“You’re so fucking beautiful, Scar” he whispered, and I was so messed up, I closed my eyes, but suddenly, I opened them to notice he had already pulled back, his eyes still staring at me.“Thanks…” I looked away from him nervously, feeling myself blushing, “how do you feel?” he asked, like I’m about to lose my mind?“I honestly don’t know…I just know that I want to do this” I said, he smirked, “I know you’ll nail it there! I heard you playing, and it makes me feel so good Scar…” he finished, his eyes looking deep into my eyes.“Thanks for everything…” I said, opening the door, and step outside his car.*****************I was holding my violin, heading to the back sta
Scarlett’s POV:I froze, Anthony’s hands on my waist. Our eyes locked for what looked like ages, but suddenly…“Anthony!!” it was a familiar girl’s voice, Anthony and I both looked at the girl, who wasn’t alone, she was with Lucas.“Emilie?” we both said, a wide smile on her face, “yeah!” she said happily, walking towards us, I glanced at Anthony who cleared his throat, and let go of my waist nervously.“What are you doing here?” Anthony asked her, “Just hanging out with my brother, before tomorrow’s competition” she explained, “you’re one of the competitors?” I asked, she nodded, I looked at Lucas, why the hell didn’t he mention that before?“I swear I had no idea…” Lucas said when he saw the confused annoying look on my face, “Yeah, I didn’t think it was a big deal…” she said, I glanced at Anthony who was still glancing at me, but he looked away nervously when our eyes met.“It’s good you’re here…” Emilie said, looking at Anthony, who shrugged, “do you want to split up? And go have
Scarlett’s POV:Anthony’s face was inches away from mine, his hands cupping my cheeks, and his eyes were roaming my over my face, “and there’s something else that you should know…” he said, his face so serious, and I can tell how nervous he was.“I knew it!!! I knew you left me for her!” Megan’s voice interrupted us, Anthony’s eyes widened, and I couldn’t believe she got the nerve to come inside my house after she asked him to move out, and choose her over me.“What the hell are you doing inside my house?” I said, walking towards her, she raised an eyebrow, “I came to apologize, because I was leaving tomorrow, and because I thought I was wrong about you and Anthony since I confirmed that there was nothing going on between the two of you…oh well, I guess I was right!” Megan said, approaching me, “is it her weird hair? Or her ugly face?” she said, pointing to my face, looking at Anthony.“MEGAN!!” he yelled, walking closer to me, he stepped in between us. I was shocked, I had no idea wha
Scarlett’s POV:I couldn’t believe that the competition is tomorrow. I was all stressed out, the winner would have a chance to go to Oxford the college of art, and it was my big dream!But I was having a bad issue, I had a lot to do lately, that I forgot to pick the dress I was wearing for my performance. Not just that, I was really worried and not having any idea what to play.I put my violin on my desk, it was getting annoying, and it was getting late, but the same issue kept popping on my head, what should I play? I wanted something unique, something to guarantee me winning.And there was something else, Anthony was avoiding me lately, and I missed him so much. Eric said that he didn’t want to distract me from practicing, but I was so sad thinking he wouldn’t even call to ask if I was doing well, or if I wasn’t stressing. Didn’t he miss me like I missed him?I could feel a tear falling down my cheek, but I shook my head, I won’t think about him! not anymore, but I thought to myself
