Chapter 11:“You’ll always have me.”

Scarlet's POV

Running out of the kitchen I make my way down the corridor to my room and lock the door close as soon as I get in and a second later a loud bang comes from behind the door following Denise’s groan.

I guess I just slammed the door in her face.

“Are you okay?” I hear Blu’s frantic voice shouting as she makes her way to my room.

“Scar you are so going to pay for this!” Denise yells most probably rubbing her poor nose.

“Well, you deserved it,” I yell back making sure that the door is securely locked.

It’s not like I don’t feel bad for her but the way she had been acting I believe its karma getting back at her.

I really didn’t mean to hurt her.

I press my ear to the door when I hear hushed voices from the other side. I can’t make out what they are saying but I guess Blu just asked Denise to leave.

At least one problem is down for now.

Believe me having the two people who you care about a lot, being angry at you at the same time is not something that can be handled easily.

And even though Denny’s reason is a lot sillier than Blu’s to be angry at, we all have established it by now that Denise has always been an over dramatic person like that.

When I don’t hear anything for some time, I just sit down leaning my back against the closed door thinking of ways to tell Blu the truth.

She is not going to be happy.

“Scar, can you come out please? You should tell me what it is I promise I won’t get mad at you,” Blu says while knocking on the door.

“But I know you will,” I whine facing around to look at the closed door.

“Maybe, but if you don’t come out I will be madder at you,” She softly says, “You know we don’t keep secrets from each other.”

I can just imagine her trailing her fingers over the painted name on my door which we did together. I could feel her desperation at wanting me to confide in her so that she could comfort me.

Sighing I open my door for her and she walks in and takes a seat on my bed looking at me expectantly.

“Please don’t get mad at me B but I didn’t mean to hurt you by keeping this away from you,” I say taking a seat in front of her on my bed.

“Quit stalling Scar and just tell me,” She grumbles curiosity getting the best of her. She always became impatient when I deliberately tried to beat around the bush in hopes of omitting a certain situation.

I didn’t like heart to heart talks except I don’t know how its only with her that I don’t feel so uncomfortable. I guess it’s true when they say that twins share a single soul.

“I went on a date with Andrew yesterday,” I blurted out deciding it’s better to just rip the bandage off.

She stared at me for a few seconds as if unable to comprehend my words and then in a clipped tone she asked, “Who is he?”

This made me realize that I had never told Blu anything about Andrew and she was completely clueless to the whole situation at hand. I didn’t know which was a bigger problem now, not telling your twin about something or breaking your custom.

“I met him at the diner when I went with Denise the other day, in other words he is my first prey,” I revealed, somehow admitting that to Blu made me feel very uneasy and I didn’t like that feeling.

“So, you really are going through with this dumb plan of yours,” she groused repulsively, her nose scrunched up in a way which showed that she was annoyed or disgusted with something.

“Stop judging me! You are not a complete saint.”

I didn’t like the way she is criticizing me, and I couldn’t stop the words from tumbling out of my mouth. I was angry now.

Her eyes widened, and she unconsciously shifted a little back against the head board and after a second pause looked away and in a meek guilty voice said, “I am sorry. It’s just that stuff like this when it happens in movies it usually ends well but in real life it is a lot more difficult and I don’t want you to get hurt in the process.”

What she said made sense. She always makes sense but that doesn’t mean I am going to follow her every advice.

“I guess you are right but you know me Blu once I wish to do something I have to do it or else I won’t be at peace and don’t worry its them who are going to get hurt not me,” I assured her that’s the only thing I can do anyway we are both hard headed and have our own opinions, changing them has always been difficult.

If it weren’t for them damn boys, I wouldn’t even have to be in this situation right now having a feud with my twin.

“Fine, I don’t mind that you didn’t tell me about Andrew because he is not counted as a real date, so the tradition is still not broken but you have to keep me updated on him I need to know that you are safe,” she begrudgingly demanded.

I nodded my head at her, “Promise.”

She opened her arms for me to crawl in and smiled invitingly and I waddled on my knees to hug her back.

She hugged me tightly as she knew that some part of me was hurting somewhere and nothing could cure it except time. The feeling of home and safety she brought me made me want to cry but I sucked in a sharp breath and calmed myself resting my head on her shoulder.

“You’ll always have me,” she whispered.

“I know.”
