Scarlett's POV:I walked inside my room feeling the need to take a quick shower, I'm really tired, since Anthony didn't come to work today, I had to work extra work, I remembered how his words were mean, I felt tears pricked at the corner of my eyes, his words are always cruel, I can't believe he has this power on me, he has the power to hurt me, to make me cry.I felt my whole body relaxing under the hot water, I can't stop thinking about our argument, I keep remembering the cruel things he said about me, he keeps acting like he knows me, well he was wrong about a lot of things, just because he can't spend one day without making troubles, or hurt people, doesn't mean everyone should act like him, I started wearing my clothes feeling a tear escaping my eye, I whipped it, feeling so stupid about everything has happened since Anthony entered my life.I brushed my wet hair, I was facing the mirror looking at my reflection, I don't know why I have to deal with him, I don't even know what
Scarlett’s POV:"I’m your friend, that's why" he said answering me, I froze at the word friend, my friend? Where the hell did that come from? He has no idea how stubborn I can be sometimes, well most of time. I looked at Lucas who was standing there feeling embarrassed, great!!"Fine!!" I said turning around walking towards Lucas who was waiting to see what I’m about to do, once I was close enough to Lucas, I grabbed his wrist making him following me, while me?? I was heading upstairs, to my room, let's see what Anthony is capable of!! Anthony was glaring at me, I could feel his eyes on us. I glared at Lucas who wasn’t comfortable about it."don't worry he's like that all the time" I said smiling warmly at him, i opened my room and the next thing I know was me locking the door behind us, don't want any drama, or any chance that Anthony would interrupt our movie, cause I know he won't let this go easily ."just in case" I said explaining to Lucas. "he doesn't like me..." he started say
Scarlett’s POV:"You seem lost the whole time, it's as if you weren't here with me...is there something that keeps your mind busy?", he said seems sad. "no, err it's just that, that assignment is keeping my mind away, I haven't finish it yet, well i was about to but...I guess I can finish it later" I said lying...THERE WAS NO ASSIGNEMENT!!"Oh …No, I think you should go work on it, I have some work anyway" he said smiling at me. "this was really special, I...like being around you...I hope we can do this again, whenever you're free", he said before standing, he started wearing his coat while I was walking him to the door, "you totally have a great taste in movies, I like this one", I said smiling at him. "My taste isn't only good in movies" he said with a wink, I blushed knowing the meaning behind his words.I said goodbye to Lucas who didn't really seem to welcome the idea of leaving me this soon, I sat on the couch in front of the TV, I was holding my phone and about to dial Anthony'
Scarlett’s POV:"Megan, Joshua and I, we started to hang out, we become best of friends, we were inseparable, but things started to get complicated when I figured my feelings for Megan" I don't know why I didn't like what he just said, I was a bit annoyed. "As she felt the same for me, but someone didn't like it, you may guess who?" he asked, "Josh?" I said not sure if my guessing was right, "yes, Joshua, he didn't like it, but he kept it to himself anyway, when I found out, our relationship was ruined, because he was trying to get my girl's attention" he said focusing his eyes on the floor."even though he knew we were together, I was pissed and blind by jealousy, even though it wasn't her fault, but I just blamed her as well, this is all I can tell you right now, I don't like talking about it, it's just complicated" he finished looking at me, that's why he doesn't like Joshua. I didn't see this coming, I also didn't think Joshua would do such thing, I was looking at Anthony not sur
Scarlett’s POV:"Hey guys, did you hear about the school trip we're planning for winter break?" Josh said when he joined us, we were having lunch at the cafeteria, "oh, I've been waiting for someone to bring this up!!" Nat said clapping her hands excitedly."I hope it's somewhere snowy", Anna said smiling and looking at Eric" I'm hoping for a winter wonderland adventure!" he said taking another sip of his coke, " where's the destination?" Jason asked."I heard it's a trip to a cozy mountain town", Joshua explained, my friends were so excited about this, they looked at me, but I know I can't go, school trips needs a lot of money, and my mother just started working at her new job, I smiled at them pretending I was excited too, "you guys, you know I'm not a winter fan, I'm not really into skiing and winter activities" I said feeling upset that I’m not going with them. I looked at the only person who was watching silently, Anthony. He was staring at me, he knows I can't go.When our eyes
Anthony's POV:"Because I care about you, that's why", I exclaimed looking right into her puffy eyes, I could see the surprise in her eyes, "you do?" she asked, I rolled my eyes, "of course I do, we live with each other, you're my friend, and I can't let anything hurt you" I said, I don't know why she always thinks I'm the bad guy, of course I acted like some jerk at first, but after I lived with her under one roof, I got to know her better, and that she's not the girl I thought she is."So, are you ready to talk about it?" I asked one more time, I'm so freaking curious to know what she's crying about, if it's the new guy she's crying about, I swear I'm gonna make him never want to go out with girls for a long time.She shook her head as a no, it seemed like she don’t want to talk about it. I glared at her, after a moment or so, she was grabbing something out of her backpack, it was her phone, I narrowed my eyes, to notice it was broken, "it's broken?" I asked looking right into her s
Scarlett's POV:I went downstairs, I wanted to make a cup of hot chocolate, after all the help I got from Anthony, I decided to make for him some hot chocolate too, why not? He made me pancakes before, and helped me several times, it's the least I could do for him, I started making hot chocolate, it was the only thing I can prepare easily, I could hear a car parking outside, I think mom's finally here, I decided I'll make hot chocolate for three people."Hey honey!" mom kissed me before taking off her coat, "awe aren't you the sweetest? I needed this really" she said smiling at me, she knew I was making hot chocolate, "okay, but you need to go and wash up first" I said making her glare at me, "sometimes, I feel like we switch places, when you start ordering".mom went upstairs leaving me by myself at the kitchen, it didn't take too long to finish, I decorated the cops with cocoa powder on the top, added some cream, and placed some cookies on a small plate, I was about to call Anthony
Anthony's POV: I knocked on the door, it took some time before she finally opened the door. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes, "what's up?" she asked, I looked at her, she stepped a side letting me inside her room, I glanced at her, didn't know what to say anymore. She was looking at me with curious eyes waiting for me to speak. "listen Scarlett, I know you've heard me talking with Megan..." I started saying, her eyes widened a bit, this made me confirm my suspicions, she heard our little argument, she heard what I said about her, she was waiting for me to continue. "listen, I'm sorry if you were...hurt. I didn..." I was about to continue talking but she cut me off. "why should I be hurt by something I know it's not true? I mean, I know how charming you think you are, but I'm not interested in you in that way, all you ever gonna be is just a friend" she exclaimed. What? Well that's good isn't it? "So, are we cool?" I asked looking at her suspiciously, " yeah, of course" she said,
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
