Scarlett’s POV:The door swung open, and I was surprised of the sight of Anthony stepping inside the doctor’s office. He stopped for a moment our eyes locked for seconds, he then out of sudden rushed towards me, checking if I was okay.“It’s no big deal, I’m fine” I said, his worried eyes gave me a serious glare, “how did this happen?” he asked immediately, “it was…” Anna started, but I interrupted her intentionally, “it was just an accident” I said, he frowned, giving me a questioning look.“An accident?” he asked, “why didn’t you tell me?” he asked, his hands holding my hand gently. “because of this…because I knew you’ll act like this” I said, I was still pissed of him hiding the apartment gift from me.His eyes flickered with pain, and it took him seconds to realize what I just said. I could feel the tension raisin in the air. Anna and Nat looked away nervously, feeling the awkward moment of silence. “Excuse me, can you please wait outside meanwhile I continue my work?” the doctor
Scarlett’s POV:It’s been a long week, and it was time to start my practicing. My violin felt right between my hands, and everything was perfect.I smiled remembering that Anthony kept my broken violin with him all that long, and finally fixed it. He said it was so hard to fix it, but wasn’t possible, and he also told me that he had to send it all the way to London just to get it fixed.I was so happy knowing how much Anthony cared about the stuffs I cared about, for example, my broken phone, or my bag pack when I forgot it at high school these past few days. He cared about me so much that I’d start imagining him loving me back, just as much I do.I sighed, putting my violin on the table, and headed to look outside my window when I heard his car parking.It was so hard to keep my hands to myself, but my eyes, I couldn’t control them anymore! Can you blame me?I sighed heavily, watching as he stepped out of his car, but it seemed that he wasn’t all by himself. He opened the door for th
Anthony’s POV:“Glad to know that you were ignoring my calls, again!” she said, storming outside the room. Fuck!I knew that would happen, but she was leaving me no choice, it was forbidden to hang out with Scarlett, and that made me feel as if I was no longer in a right relationship. She even started to come inside Scarlett’s as if she was trying to prove something to herself, and it wasn’t acceptable.I was ashamed of her actions, she was losing control on her jealousy! I stood, feeling that I screwed up real bad this time, but it was the time to put things right.I made my steps even faster outside Scarlett’s room, not even wanting to know what Scarlett was thinking of Megan, she must be thinking that Megan was such a horrible mean person.“Megan…” I called out her name, she stopped. I was a bit relieved that she did.“Anthony…I don’t want this to end” she said, her voice weak, and it made me feel bad, I was breaking her heart.I walked towards her, and pulled her closer, she was c
Scarlett’s POV:I froze, feeling the ground trembling underneath my feet. I gasped, my eyes wondering to look inside his empty room. I went inside his room, not believing he really left.What have I done? A heavy tear struggled to escape my eye, I closed my eyes, taking in a deep long breath, embracing the pain of his leaving.I was suddenly all alone between these walls. The room next to mine was empty, and I had no idea it would feel so hollow. It seemed full before, but now, it’s just a shallow shell of a room.It hurts to know that his attitude changed against me just the second he realized my feelings, he didn’t even wait till the morning to move, he moved while I was sleeping, he didn’t even say goodbye.********************I had to go to school, especially the day after he was gone. I didn’t want to let him see how affected I was about him leaving, and my pride wouldn’t let me to show to him and to his girlfriend I was weak.Mom said she didn’t want to wake me because she knew
Scarlett’s POV:“We don’t have to do this” he started, I waited for him to continue. He approached me, and opened his mouth to continue, but suddenly…“Smith, and Willis, both of you to my office right now!” the principle said, he seemed disappointed giving me one last glare, before leading us to his office.We were sitting inside the office, the principle was very pissed. “This is a high school, not a boxing ring, I should expel you, the three of you!” he said, looking at the three of us. Lucas’s face showed some bruises, Anthony really made some damage to his face.“But, since your friend here, admitted that it was his fault, I decided to give you one last chance” The principle added. Anthony and I both were surprised, glancing at Lucas who was looking down.“but that doesn’t mean your actions weren’t wrong, I will not tolerate with such behavior just like that, which is why, the three of you will have a punishment” he finished, I gasped, then only looked to my shaky hands, mom will
Scarlett’s POV:I was doing my work while Anthony continued to ask me weirdly all those surprising questions about my practice, or our classes.I kept my answers as short as possible, not having any idea why he was acting so weird, he never asked so many questions in such short time.“Some girl was asking for you…” Mom interrupted us, I narrowed my eyes at Anthony, he glanced at me for a second, “yeah…I don’t think I’ll go” Anthony shook his head, continued to clean the counter.When he realized we were both glaring at him, “she’s trying to get me to go on a date with her…and I gently rejected her offer” he explained, my eyes looked away from his, of course he’ll pass, he was already in a relationship.“Okay, then Scarlett can go instead” mom said, I was about to protest but mom already left. I shook my head, and he only smirked.I went outside the kitchen, and when I was about to step inside the restaurant my eyes glimpsed Lucas, who was already staring at me. I looked away, ignoring
Scarlett’s POV:“I missed this too…” he said, holding my hand, I cleared my throat, looking away nervously, it was so hot inside his car. He let go of my hand, then started the car, “thanks for coming, it’s good to have you back, Pixie” he said, I smiled at him.“How’s school going?” he asked, I blushed, feeling embarrassed to answer that. To be honest I wasn’t doing very well since he stopped studying with me.“Not so good” I said, still looking at the road, he shot me one of his serious looks. “that’s because you’re not studying, don’t forget it’s graduation year, and you need good grades if you want to go to art college” he said, I shook my head, “but it’s too hard, and with the spring competition at the doors…” I said, he nodded understanding.“okay, how about we study together, like we always do?” he offered, I shook my head, looking away from him, “what? Why?” he asked, I shrugged, “you don’t want to?” he asked, seemed annoyed, I shook my head once again, he stopped the car, and
Scarlett’s POV:Lucas was acting nice to me, he approached me, and helped me with the table that was on my way. He smirked, showing off his strong muscles in a funny way, I couldn’t but smile back at the way he was trying to make me laugh.But suddenly, I was shocked by Anthony who rushed in between us, and grabbed Lucas from his shirt. I gasped, staring at Anthony who was more than pissed, gritting his teeth from frustration. Lucas didn’t even make a move, instead he was glaring calmly at Anthony, daring him to make his next move.“Anthony…” I called out his name, he didn’t even bother to turn and look at me, “he’s not coming close to you…ever again” he threatened, still not looking at me.“Anthony…let go of him, we’ll be in a big trouble” I reminded him. Just then, he turned his head towards me, and gave me an annoying look, but eventually he let go of Lucas.“Fine…but he’s going to stay away from you” Anthony threatened, and started to walk away from Lucas, who only fixed his shir
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
