Michael

As soon as I heard what happened to Scarlett, I immediately ran to where she normally sits, under the old tree. I see her crying and I felt my heart broke.

I picked her up and hugged her as I hold back my tears

"I am so sorry Scarlett. I'm sorry for not being there to save you. God I'm such a bad friend. You almost got raped and I didn't even visit you. I'm so so so so sorry. If you don't want to tal-"

"Michael" she mumbled, stopping me from talking

"Yes Scarlett?" I close my eyes, not letting go of her fragile body

"You're talking to much. I forgive you" she pulls away and gives me half a smile. I sighed and nodded.

"I'm still sorry though" She chuckles and sits down. I sat beside her and she rested her head on my shoulder.

How could someone beautiful, smart, nice, and caring be so broken... You deserve so much more in this world Scarlett. I promise you, everything will be better. I don't know when but that day will come. I will help you find your happiness Scarlett, even if it means for me to die.

I pull her close and smiled

Oh how I want to tell you my secret Scar. If only I could...

Scarlett

I walked outside the school building with Michael.

"You want me to drive you home?" He looked at me and grabbed my hand

"Yes please" I smiled and we start to walk towards his car. As he opened the door, I hear a honk. I look at where the noise came from. It came from Alessandro? I furrow my eyebrows and let go of Michaels hand

"What are you doing here Alessandro?" I say as he walked towards my direction

"Picking you up. Who is he? Your boyfriend?" He crossed his arms, looking at me with no emotion

"He's going to drop me off and he is my best friend" I shook my head and opened the door of Michael's car

"Well I'm picking you up and I'm not taking no as an answer" I looked at Michael and he shrugged

"If you want to Scar, it's fine. Maybe another time" he smiled and I nodded.

"Okay... See you tomorrow Michael" I smiled back and hugged him before walking towards Alessandro's car.

"Who cares about the Little Mermaid? I prefer Cinderella!" I closed my eyes, trying to ignore them

"Little Mermaid is so much better than Cinderella. I mean what the heck. A pumpkin turning into a carriage?"

"Well yours a fish! I can turn her into a sushi if I want to!"

"Scarlett! Please the Cris that Little Mermaid is better!"

"Don't drag me into this Antonio" I groan and stood up. They've been arguing about what to watch for an hour. I walked towards the DVD section and picked Mulan. I hear them groan and whine

"You guys took forever to pick so I'll pick" I shrugged and sat down

"Ugh fine. It's better than watching a fish loose her voice."

"Fuck you Cris"

"No. Fuck you Antonio" these boys
