Scarlett’s POV:I turned letting another big loud scream, but my eyes widened when I saw my friends laughing so hard at me...what the hell?I couldn't stand on my feet, I was shaking still terrified, I looked at Anthony who was holding his phone, he clicked on his phone, I heard the sound of the wolf coming from his phone, the one I heard minutes ago, I was still confused, till the realization hit me.My eyes widened, and I gasped, I was shocked of the idea that all I've been through, was just some stupid prank, he was still laughing. I looked at my friends who were laying on the snow, laughing so hard at me, all of them are part of some dirty prank, and I know who's the genius behind it, my eyes travelled from my friends to Anthony who was staring at me, when he realized how annoyed and pissed I was, he stopped laughing clearing his throat.I stood from the ground, fixing myself, ignoring him, "admit that this was funny" he grinned, "not as funny as this" , I was already holding a s
Scarlett's POV:As soon we were alone, and away from everyone, Anthony stopped not looking into my eyes, "I was saving you" he said, I frowned, " seriously? Saving me? From a conversation with a guy that I'm starting to date?" I asked him, his face was unreadable, as if he was confused."I could see it on your face, he was annoying you, with all the touching!" he exclaimed, he's right i was annoyed but, the fact that he saw how bothered I 'am, and reach for me immediately is driving me insane, he was acting as if he was jealous, I want to know why he's acting this way."I wasn't...at least not more than you" I hissed, he rolled his eyes."what was I supposed to do, sit and watch him touching you even though you seem annoyed about it?" he almost yelled, he was pissed."okay calm down, will you?" I looked into his dark furious eyes."I didn't know you care this much about me" I said with a small smile, he looked away but a small smirk appeared on the corner of his lips."like I said ear
Anthony's POV:I can't believe Scarlett still mad of the way I reacted last night!I thought we were cool, but the way she treated me this morning, it's just...sucks, I was pissed, and it's all because of that douchebag. I was out when I bumped into this hot chick, she started seducing me, and of course I wouldn't say no.From the corner of my eye, I saw from not too far, the perfect couple having a conversation, Scarlett's face was unreadable, I wasn't in the mood to continue whatever I was doing with the hot chick, who was whispering dirty things in my ear, I wasn't interested anymore.I pulled away from the girl, I was looking at Scarlett who left Lucas standing there with a priceless look on his face, he seemed to be upset. I started walking as fast as possible, trying to follow her, there's no way I'm leaving her by herself.***************************Scarlett's POV:I started to feel my breath fading from the frozen water, it felt like a thousand knife were stabbing every part
Scarlett’s POV:"When was the last time you were here?" Anthony asked, we were on a park bench, it was the same spot where we used to play back when we were kids, but the big tree we used to play under wasn't -there anymore."Since they cut it down" I answered pointing to the tree, he looked at the spot remembering the memories, he nodded calmly, "you know? I've never thought we'd be sitting here together, again" he said smiling, I nodded agreeing to what he just said. "neither did I, but life's so crazy, you have to expect everything" I said, he held my hand looking right into my eyes and smiled, my heart stopped for a moment but started racing again, he was holding my hand."this time, I'll never let you go" he said, I could feel my heart almost stop again, but disappointment hit me hard once he continued his statement, "we'll be best friends, forever" I realized that all of that was just inside of my head, he'll never see me more than a friend, what was I thinking?His phone starte
Scarlett’s POV:I was standing there, feeling completely shattered, watching as Megan throw herself in Anthony’s arms. I was unable to breathe, feeling only the need to run, and leave this scene behind me.“Megan…this is Scarlett” Anthony said, he must’ve remembered they weren’t alone, “oh…hey” I greeted her, she shot me a small smile, then looked back at Anthony, okay that was rude! I looked away, starting to make my way towards my room.When I was walking past mom, she shot me a sad smile, I frowned, does she know about my feelings for my childhood best friend? I hope not! Because she wouldn’t just let it go easily, “so, I’ll just…” I started saying, looking at Anthony and Megan who were both seated on the sofa, as if they were the only people in this world, I felt the tears forming, “to my room” I finished, my voice was barely audible.When I was inside my room, I could feel the tears down my cheeks, my heart was aching, and my pulse was fading. I looked to my shaky hands, then cove
Scarlett’s POV:I was shocked, staring at Megan, who was wearing only Anthony’s shirt.“Yes?” she asked, seemed annoyed, making me realize I just interrupted something. I turned around, feeling a horrible pain growing inside my heart.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt…anything” I said, gulping, still closing my eyes. I made a few steps forward, and as I was about to reach to my door, a strong hand grabbed my arm. I froze thinking it must be him, his touch made me more…weak.“I’m sorry…didn’t mean to…” I started, still not turning to look into his black eyes, holding the tears that started to gather at the corner of my eyes.“It’s okay…we’re kind of...it was late so I thought it was a bad idea to let Megan leave” he explained nervously. I nodded, taking a deep breath, swallowing all the pain inside.“Sure, just make sure to keep your sweat out of my sofa” I teased, with a nervous smile. He frowned, then chuckled, “see ya later” he said, returning to his room.I sighed, shaking my head
Scarlett’s POV:Anthony’s eyes widened, and it seemed as if he had just realized my biggest secrets. I could feel my heart racing as he looked away nervously, trying to figure something out. His eyes met mine again, and he seemed annoyed about it.“I…” I started but he shook his head, showing how bothered and upset he was, “I can’t believe you’re still annoyed about that phone call, Scar” he said, referring to their phone call from that night, when Megan talked about me. And I out of sudden was surprised, and relieved that I was safe, and that he didn’t discover my feelings for him.“She was just…jealous, she knows you’re my best friend” he said, defending her, “can’t you just give her another chance? Maybe get to know her?” he said, his eyes pleading.“This girl means a lot to me Scar, and so do you. Which is why I don’t want to lose one of you, and I think I owe you this one, since I already tried for your guy” he finished, his eyes pleading. “okay, if she means this much to you…” I
Scarlett’s POV:“I don’t like when you two hang out, I don’t like her around you” she said, and my feet couldn’t hold me anymore, feeling my heart almost stopping. Her words still echoing in my ears.“I saw you two dancing…”she added, “that was nothing, she’s my best friend…” Anthony said, I closed my eyes, feeling the tears streaming down my cheeks, that’s what I’ll always be, just a friend. The word was getting heavy every day, but it was the truth…“You know what I had to do just to be with you…do you think it was so easy to convince my parents to move here?” she said, her voice shaking, and I knew something was wrong…“What did you do, Megan?” he asked, his voice concerned. “I tried to suicide, twice” she said, I gasped, gulping, what? She tried to suicide?I closed my eyes not believing what I just heard, “why…why would you…” he started saying, but stopped, “don’t tell me you’re still believing in all that shit…we were just kids, I wasn’t thinking straight” he said, I frowned, wh
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
