Scarlett's POV:I don't know why, but I just realized the situation I'm into. โwhat 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
Scarlettโs POV:When I went downstairs I couldn't find Anthonyโฆ, 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. "Didnโt 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 weโre 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 Iโm 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
Scarlettโs POV :"well, I can fix this" I said holding my cell, he rolled his eyes, I'll send you the location, his face was surprised, as if he was expecting something else, "whatever", he scoffed leaving me there standing, he was angry at me, again, for no reason.We were facing Anna's house, Lucas and I, "I hope, I'm not annoying you, I don't really know your friends, and they don't know me" he said nervously, "it's okay, my friends are cool, besides you'll get to know them", I said opening the door to find my friends were already seating in the living room, they were facing the large TV screen looking for a movie, I looked at Josh and Jason to notice they already picked a movie, I think we won't be watching the movie I'm picking, I hope they didn't choose another Zombie movie.I headed to them, taking the CD out of Jason's head to see it was a zombie movie, I rolled my eyes, I looked at the girls they smiled at me as if they already were reading my mind."hey" Lucas greeted "hey"
Scarlett's POV:I was sitting inside my closet, with Anthony. I still can't believe he remembers these stupid little things, but he does, I don't know why, but I'm feeling better already, we were sitting there we never broke the silence, we just sat there for I don't know how long."you wanna talk about it?" he asked looking at me, I shook my head as a no, he nodded he looked at my forehead reading the word written up there, his face twisted into a grimace as he tightened his fist, "I think I know, she'll pay for it" he said angrily, i was surprised by his reaction, does he care?"it's not a big dea..." I started standing but he cut my words, "she's sick psycho, why would you say it's not a big deal? It is a big deal, you have to fight back, defend yourself, she's nothing but a coward big..." he started saying but stopped when he saw the look on my face, he looked away nervously, "your mom wouldn't like this" he said pointing at my forehead, I rolled my eyes, "she'll blame me, if anyt
Scarlettโs POV:I watched as Anthony made his way towards me, I backed away, still staring at his black eyes, not smiling back. โScarโฆcome on, didnโt you miss me?โ he asked, โI think we should text Eric to comeโ I started, โwhat?

Scarlettโs POV:I was still not convinced, how could Anna ask something like that? โHeโs a really nice guyโฆโ she was still convincing me. She glared at Nat, trying to get some help from her, โYou got nothing to lose, you were trying to push everyone away latelyโ Nat stood, and approached me. โYouโre all messed up, you really need to stop making excuses like studying, orโฆcome on, you even started cooking!โ Nat shook her head, as if that was the worst thing ever.โSteffen dies!โ I snapped, she gasped, placing a hand on her heart, โAnd so Enzoโฆand guess who killed him, it was Steffen!!!โ I said middle fingering her, her eyes widened, I could see Annaโs arms crossed over her chest.โIS THAT TRUE!!!โ Nat yelled, staring at Anna, โNO!!

Scarlettโs POV:โWhat?โ I asked, my mother was talking as if she had just won the lottery, โMomโฆhe didnโt call, itโs just another gameโฆโ I said, she shook her head, โNo! Wait, why would you say that? This is your best friend, and he didnโt leaveโ she added, โHe just left because Megan wanted a closureโ she said, I opened my mouth to say something but didnโt even bother.I started to walk upstairs, but mom grabbed my hand, โHeโs not a bad boy, you think Iโd let my daughter love someone like that?โ she said, I sighed, โWhat do you want me to say mom?

Scarlettโs POV:The shock left me breathless, โAre you okay?โ Sophie asked me, โAre you sure?โ I asked her, my knees trembling, โPositive, she told me this morning!โ 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 MeganโฆI nodded, โThank you for telling meโ I said my voice cold, Sophie gave me a concerned look. It was the first time that I couldnโt react, or show I was in pain, maybe because I was getting used to it, I mean it wasnโt 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.*****************โI had no ideaโฆI swear!โ Eric said on lunch, I was still staring at the vo
Scarlettโs 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 confusedโฆWas he pretending all the time?

He narrowed his eyes reading, suddenly his eyes widened, โis that Jasonโs phone?โ he asked, changing the subject.โAnswer the damn questionโฆโ I said, opened his mouth to explain, โItโs not what you thinkโฆโ he started, I shook my head, โokay thenโฆtell me what am I supposed to think?โ I asked, โListen, you really have to
Scarlettโs POV:He placed the necklace around my neck, his breaths tickling my neck, I couldnโt 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 Anthonyโs words made me lose my mindโฆโYouโre so fucking beautiful, Scarโ 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.โThanksโฆโ I looked away from him nervously, feeling myself blushing, โhow do you feel?โ he asked, like Iโm about to lose my mind?โI honestly donโt knowโฆI just know that I want to do thisโ I said, he smirked, โI know youโll nail it there!

Scarlettโs POV:I froze, Anthonyโs hands on my waist. Our eyes locked for what looked like ages, but suddenlyโฆโAnthony!!โ it was a familiar girlโs voice, Anthony and I both looked at the girl, who wasnโt alone, she was with Lucas.โEmilie?โ we both said, a wide smile on her face, โyeah!โ she said happily, walking towards us, I glanced at Anthony who cleared his throat, and let go of my waist nervously.โWhat are you doing here?โ Anthony asked her, โJust hanging out with my brother, before tomorrowโs competitionโ she explained, โyouโre one of the competitors?โ I asked, she nodded, I looked at Lucas, why the hell didnโt he mention that before?โI swear I had no ideaโฆโ Lucas said when he saw the confused annoying look on my face, โYeah, I didnโt think it was a big dealโฆโ she said, I glanced at Anthony who was still glancing at me, but he looked away nervously when our eyes met.โItโs good youโre hereโฆโ Emilie said, looking at Anthony, who shrugged, โdo you want to split up?

Scarlettโs POV:Anthonyโs face was inches away from mine, his hands cupping my cheeks, and his eyes were roaming my over my face, โand thereโs something else that you should knowโฆโ he said, his face so serious, and I can tell how nervous he was.โI knew it!!! I knew you left me for her!โ Meganโs voice interrupted us, Anthonyโs eyes widened, and I couldnโt believe she got the nerve to come inside my house after she asked him to move out, and choose her over me.โWhat the hell are you doing inside my house?โ I said, walking towards her, she raised an eyebrow, โI 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 youโฆoh well, I guess I was right!โ Megan said, approaching me, โis it her weird hair?

Scarlettโs POV:I couldnโt 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 didnโt want to distract me from practicing, but I was so sad thinking he wouldnโt even call to ask if I was doing well, or if I wasnโt stressing. Didnโt he miss me like I missed him?I could feel a tear falling down my cheek, but I shook my head, I wonโt think about him! not anymore, but I thought to myself
