The Story Of Us

Darkness

No one's POV:

3 days earlier.

"Scarlett, where are you right now, honey? We've been so worried about where you had gone, you're not answering our text and calls." Melanie ask gently, feeling a sympathy for her daughter.

"Sorry, i- uh, im here at the beach...." Scarlett said, her voice breaking as she do so, trying her best not to break down, as she look around at the scenery infront of her.

She's been there for almost 3 days already, all she can think about is the limited days that she can sign those stupid divorce paper. Which is already up, her time is up to sign those papers, but she knows that even though she didn't signed the papers on the day you told her, you still won't stop on making her sign it, unfortunately.

So, she knows she can't do anything, but to hide from you, wishing you will not find her with the divorce paper in your hands, until she's ready.

She wanted to fight, she really do, but she felt herself falling more into the darkness, she found herself becoming more unknown. She knows you're probably pissed by her, more than you already have. I mean, signing those papers, and knowing that the both of you are finally over is not that easy for her, maybe for you, but not her.

This is the first time she had answered the calls from her family. She's not ready for anything, she's not ready to face or let anyone hear her very hoarse of a voice after seeing you kiss someone in an intimate way who's not her.

Just the thought of it makes her heart clench in a very unexplainable worse way. She felt as if someone is taking all the air out of her lungs until she finds it hard to breathe. She's so mad at herself because she's losing you, and because it's her fault why your marriage are going down. But, she's even more mad at herself because she can't do anything about it.

"Y/n's asking for you... she said she's been messaging and calling you..." She didn't made a sound, as the thought of you came clouding her mind once again. "Even with everything that you're going through, i can tell she's worried about you, dear. We meet up yesterday, her eyes can't lie to me, she's been like a daughter to me too, you know that." Her mother added, making her smile lightly at thought of how close you are to her family.

Deciding to cut the call of immediately, not really knowing if she can still hold everything together and not to breakdown in the phone call with her mother, she said her farewell.

"I-uh, i need to go now, please don't tell her where i am, im gonna tell it to her myself, i promise. Bye, ma, take care." With broken voice, she hung up, quickly breaking down in the dark as she did so.

A full of drinking night is what happened to her last night. She can't seem to bring herself to sleep because you kept clouding her mind. If she didn't drink, she wouldn't have slept.

Now, she had decided on opening your number.

She's making it hard for you.

She felt slightly disappointed by how you message her like you didn't had something between those hi's and goodbye's. She felt as if you're only asking her for a simple thing, she felt as if she's a complete stranger with your lack and dull messages, that somehow, she finds it not enough.
