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?

    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:Anthony made it very clear that he didn’t want to lose our friendship, he even offered me to go and watch a movie together. But we were interrupted when Megan called him, he lied to her, saying he was alone, but when he ended the call, he apologized saying he didn’t want more drama.“This is exactly why I wanted to end our friendship…” I said, he rolled his eyes, “give her some time…she’s really an amazing person, she’s just being…” he defended her, “jealous…I know” I completed his statement, and he chuckled.I ignored him, staring back at the TV, then suddenly my phone started ringing. I picked up, “hey…” I answered, looking at who was giving me a questioning look, he seemed curious to know who I was talking to on the phone.“I hope I’m not bothering your sleep…I know it’s a late hour, but I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you, and that I’m thinking about you” he said, I blushed, my eyes still looking at Anthony. “Aren’t you gonna say anything?” Lucas added wh

    Scarlett’s POV:Lucas was still staring at me, his face was showing a lot of emotions that I couldn’t explain, “Let’s go” he managed to say when he realized I was giving him sad looks. I was so sad, knowing well that the guy in front of me was an amazing guy, but yet, I was treating him like shit. I was so mean to him, while he was only trying to show how much he cares about me. I felt a bit of guilt towards him, he was a nice boyfriend, someone who was trying to treat me well.“I’m sorry for what just happened, I had no idea he was coming” I said, he nodded, then opened the door for me, “you can make it up to me” he said, a playful smirk on his face, I narrowed my eyes at him, daring him to explain.“Really? How?” I questioned, raising an eyebrow, “how about a great late date? My sweet beautiful girl, and me, alone…after the party?” he asked, studying my face for an answer, as if he was pleading me with those cute eyes.“Okay, we’ll see about that” I answered him, but deep down, I kn

    Scarlett’s POV:Anthony sat beside me, and I kept ignoring him. “I know I screwed up, real bad” he started, yeah you did!“But it sucks, to know you won’t need me like you always do, or the fact that someone else is going to taking away all your pain…instead of me” he confessed, I frowned, giving him a surprised look. He seemed honest and sad.Our eyes locked for a few moments, before he looked away, “but I shouldn’t have said those things. I hate it when you’re hurt, let alone when I’m the one causing you pain” he said, his eyes holding mine. I took a deep breath, looking away from him.“Does your girlfriend know you’re here? With me?” I asked, he smirked, “yep, she’s cool with that, finally” he answered, seemed happy knowing well I forgave him for our argument, “can we please not fight again?” he said, looking at the bottle of beer in his hand.“I don’t like it…” he said, I smiled at him, feeling the butterflies dancing inside my stomach. “well, I hope not, this time it’ll be eterna

    Anthony’s POV:I was with Megan, we left the party early, and came straight to her house. We were in the middle of something, she grinned at me, gasping for some air, “I bet this is more fun than the fun you usually have with that…”she said making me pull away from her, we were on the sofa, inside her house, I rolled my eyes at her, “you had to bring this up, didn’t you? It’s not the perfect time to bring this up, Megan!” I said furiously, standing from the sofa.I ran my fingers through my hair, not even able to look into her eyes at the moment. I hated it when she was talking about Scarlett, she seemed so obsessed with her, and that made me feel sick of this relationship already.“When are you gonna start growing up and notice that she’s looking at you more than a friend?” she asked, my eyes widened. And that was it! I was done with her madness, and I couldn’t take it anymore. “I can’t believe we’re arguing about this again? This doesn’t make any sense, she’s my best friend…” I start

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

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

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: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?

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
