"Scarlett " Jamie shrieks running away from me, I burst out laughing at her splashing the water, the sound of her screaming and shrieking echo through the night in the swimming pool. Jamie refused to swim saying she already showered but I refuse to let her have her way because she blames me here for coming here in the first place.  "Come in the water " I yell and duck my head under the water, my heart feels a little light as I stay under the water for another thirty minutes. I look around for Jamie but she's nowhere in sight. I step out of the pool covering myself with the towel, my teeth chattering from the coldness. I hurriedly put on my clothes and dry my hair with the towel and step inside that resembles a living room. I still can't believe Ashton lives alone in a place like a mansion, his house is too damn huge I need a map if I was to come again.  I sauntered in what seems like to be the living room and heave in

"Dad I am not coming back home, yes hmm " "No, I can go to college from my place"Feeling frustrated Jamie sat down on the couch sighing. It seems her dad was asking her to come back home. "Dad I am not alone, Scarlet is staying with me for the past few days" "I can't hear you, what are you saying?" She says in the phone faking a bad connection. "Phew" she breathes out closing her phone. "Is your dad asking for you to come back?" I asked her. "Yeah, he wants me to come back. I mean that's a big no " she says shaking her head vigorously. "Why? Is because of your -? " I stop myself from seeing her face. "Yeah, but I have fun living by myself" she explains. "Hmm " "Scarlet what shall we do today? It's weekend and we deserve to enjoy" Jamie say

My mom used to say learn to forgive others when I was young, yet I never try to. I considered forgiving a huge burden and I don't know how I am supposed to forgive someone that hurts you so much. It's exactly how I felt for Liam, he hurts me so deep yet why it is so hard to let him go? He is like my cocaine and rehab, I knew I have to give up but what's holding me back? Bring a naive girl I was I believe at least for a day, we would find ways to get back together but he proves that I was yet wrong again. Why is that every wrong direction is the only way I knew how to walk?My head hurts thinking of the evening to come, mom calls me up last night asking me to dine together at Liam home with my dad, I dismiss her invitation immediately wondering why she would suggest something so ridiculous. Mom was mad at first but she was being adamant, I wonder why I ever agree to go in the first place. 

"Scarlet come back" Liam yells from his car, I smile sardonically in his direction and push the glass door in, my heels clicking in the tile floor.When Liam told me about my half-brother I was no more surprise, I knew there was a reason why mom invited me willingly. She wanted to drop another bomb. I could hear Liam footsteps echoing behind me. The interior of the restaurant is very fancy with lights like a chandelier in the middle. The place looks perfect for rich people dining with a rotten personality. My eyes met with my mom at the far end at one of the tables, she smiles at me widely waving me over. Angel sat with dad, mom with someone I have never met. I couldn't see his face clearly but it is enough to know he shares blood with Angel. I walk towards them with Liam trailing behind me.Just when I was about to take my seat, Liam holds my arms stopping me. I stare at him in confusion waiting for him to say something. " Please don't

Two years ago, I snuggle under the covers deeper grimacing at the pain in my abdomen. Just why do I have to be a girl? I have this huge awesome idea of flaunting my boyfriend to my classmates and now I am stuck in the bed moaning like a cow giving birth. Mom left for work early claiming she has answers to evaluate and dad being the workaholic left at dawn. Liam won't be picking me up today because he's dropping Justin to his school. I've got no means to tell him I am not coming to school since my battery is at 0% from sleeping in the middle of the movie. My tears stream down my face when I couldn't hold the pain anymore. God, how did my mom gave birth to me?I tried sleeping yet I couldn't, my hands are trembling from holding the sheets with all my might. I pray mentally to let it stop yet it never calms down. Where is God at this hour?
