Anthony's POV:In my whole life, she was the first one to let me down, I never cared about anyone as much as I cared about her, she keeps reminding me of how childish I was back then, what does she think she's doing playing violin? why didn't she pick playing on a guitar or something?When she left the car, I realized how much my words were cruel, but she doesn't get to talk about my mother, why would she say she loved her, while she deleted me from her life right after she knew my mother was dead, how mean of her, to say that my mother meant something for her, while she acted that way. I shook my head, i hit the steer wheel over and over, my words cut deep this time, I felt the pain inside her eyes, for a moment I thought I’d be whipping her tears and saying sorry, it wasn't the first time I hurt her, I broke her violin, I even mentioned her dad that night and how he left her before she was even born, and I know how that hurt her back when we were kids.I left the car, entering the sc
Scarlett's POV:His eyes were no longer on my palm, they were fixed on me, as his hand was still holding mine under the cool water but I didn't feel the water as much as I felt his hand, as soon as his eyes were holding my gaze we were there standing...looking at each other eyes, " when you're around I can't control my actions..."he started saying making my eyes widened."I’m not the jerk you think I ‘am, when you're around me I only remember things I don't like to remember, this morning I said things, things that probably hurt you, I can't even remember what I said, you shouldn't have talk about her anyway" he continued, he doesn't know the truth, he didn't even bothered to listen to me."who said I was hurt? Since when I care about your words? Good or bad? trust me I could never get hurt by you" I said with a dare look, looking right into his eyes, I wanted to play his little game, he narrowed his eyes staring back at my eyes as if he was studying if what I was saying is true, "anyw
Scarlett's POV:I don't know why, but I just realized the situation I'm into. “what the hell are you still doing in here...get out!!" I almost screamed, he only walked out of my room as fast as he could? Cursing under his breaths, I rolled my eyes after he did, thank god I was still wearing that towel.I went downstairs to see Anthony was already settled into his study session, I joined him, I blushed when I remembered the embarrassed situation from earlier, the guy saw me with a towel, why wouldn't I blush, I could tell he was thinking of the same thing, cause he was nervously playing with his pencil.We started studying together, I suggested we start by reviewing the key concepts we had learned in class. We pulled out our notebooks and textbooks, flipping through pages and discussing different topics such as calculus, trigonometry, and algebra.To reinforce our understanding, we worked through practice problems from our textbook and class notes. Whenever one of us encountered a dif
Scarlett’s POV:When I went downstairs I couldn't find Anthony…, I waited a bit, I noticed my phone just buzzed the name made my eyes widened in surprise noticing the name that just appeared on my phone screen, when did he have the time to save his phone number in my phone? I need to keep an eye on that jerk.The hottie next room: come on!! I'm already inside the car, you're late, and don't forget the keys :)I rolled my eyes at the word 'hottie', his arrogance is killing me.Me: kay!!!I wonder where we are going on this late and cold night, I hesitated for a bit about going, but I didn't want to let him alone, not this night.As soon as I got in the car I shot him one of my deadly glares, " I assume you liked my caller ID name" he said smirking, "you bet I 'am" I said rolling my eyes, "if we have to live with each other there's certain rules you should never break, the first one: always knock on my door. the second rule would be: never touch my phone ever again!!" I said almost yel
Scarlett's POV:I was surprised when Anthony said the word friend? Does he think we're friends? I thought he hates me!!"you should think twice about this, Dom" a member of the band warned him, but he didn't really care, instead he threw a punch towards Anthony's face, Anthony touched his bleeding lip, looking to the blood on his thumb, "you asked for it" I gasped when Anthony walked as fast as he could towards Dom punching him right on his nose, Dom was now on the ground holding his bleeding nose, he was about to get up to continue the fight when a man appeared from the crowd."I was generous with you, I let you in my club with conditions, but I assume you're not the type of people who keep their word" the man started saying looking at Anthony who was still furious, while Dom was smirking as if he won this already, I figured I should do something since Anthony is in this situation because of me, I walked to the owner of the club "sir, I'm sorry about what just happened but all of this
Scarlett's POV:Only to see his blue eyes lost in my brown ones. "whoa, that was close" Lucas said with a worry look."u_h huh?" I said still shocked of what just happened. "you alright?" he said, I was just about to answer him but saw Anthony and Emily running towards us, "you okay?" Anthony said with worry black eyes but then his eyes travelled to Lucas's arms that were holding me."yeah" I said taking a deep breath. "Glad you're okay, if anything happened to you I wouldn't forgive myself" Emily said looking worried. "What are you doing here? I thought you'll bring our parents favorite band?" OUR PARENTS?Me and Anthony looked at Lucas who was about to answer her, but when he saw the look on our faces, he remained silent. "Emily's my sister" Lucas said looking at me. "Didn’t see that coming, but didn't you say you're working here?" I said with a confused look. "yeah he's the manager of this hotel, him and my step brother, while my father manages the other hotel in Paris" she explaine
Scarlett's POV:OH MY GOD. he'll think we were..."uh_I w_was playing violin that's why I.."I started saying but closed my mouth nervously. He gave me another look that saying a lot, but suddenly started walking away."that was weird" Lucas said with a nervous laugh, "you're beautiful in a way I can never describe" he said in a whisper still leaning, his breath was tickling my nick, feeling my whole body froze, while my heart beats accelerated, I moved back , trying my best not to make him feel unwanted. I mean I barley know the guy, I don't know I felt like we’re not connected yet. WAIT? Does this mean, we will be connected?I should stop talking with my brain, cause the guy's here trying to figure what just happened and I’m still looking at him in a confused look, "I think we should go, I mean they're probably waiting for us" I said smiling awkwardly at him waking him from his thoughts, he nodded so we both started walking"Just play like you did before" he said thinking I might
Scarlett's POV:"so mom actually said yes to this? Like really said yes?", I said still not believing that my friends convinced mom to let me skip work tonight, and spend some time with my friends. "yeah!!. Well it took a huge effort to convince your mom, but eventually we did it!!"Josh said."oh ,we forgot to tell you, well your mom said it'll be okay for you not go to work today only in one condition, and that is only if we let...",Anna stopped talking when another voice cut her words. "What the hell is this supposed to mean? Why did I just have a call from your mom saying I'm spending my night watching movies with you and your friends instead of going to work?" Anthony's angry voice said from behind. I turned around to face him, I don't even know what he's talking about!!..."What are you...NO!!!" I started saying with my eyes looking right into his black angry ones. "well that's what I was just about to say, your mom said we can't spend time with you if you're having fun while you
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
