The Story Of Us

Better

Scarlett's POV:

Everything felt so surreal.

My heart beats more fast day by day as I wake up in the morning ever since that night I had with Y/n. It's already been 3 weeks, but I still remember every living moment of it, the happiness I feel is still inside me with no sign of going away.

I stayed there for the night, and the next morning, I cooked them some breakfast. I couldn't be more happier that time, we look like a small real living family. The way we would converse like we're not living in a shitty world that is full of opinions from people who sees themselves as superior, even though they don't know a thing about everything.

I still couldn't open up to Y/n about my feelings to her, I couldn't open up a serious talk about the both of us. It's mostly about Avery, and when we're alone, we just talk about politics, and just everything that would come up.

I'm scared to open up. I don't want our relationship now, change because of the happenings in the past just because I want to repeat and re-do our love. Just because I want a chance from the woman who experience so many bad things, me, being one of the reasons.

I do really want it to continue, or no, not continue, to build something like that again, but more stronger. I am willing to give everything and do anything to have her back, even if it meant for me to kill I will.

I took a leave from the showbiz industry for 3 months, and decided to just focus first on my company, especially to Avery, Y/n being one of the especial reason.

I will pursue her, no matter what, even if it will take me so many years. I just hope she will not gonna have an eye for someone.

I will get my priorities on target this time. I will show Y/n, that even after everything, I can still be worth it to have her heart. I will show her how better I can be, to be enough and be deserving for her heart.

I'm happy to say too, that as days passed by, she's starting to loosen up to me, to the point where she actually opened up some part of what happened to her in the last 5 years.

I learned that she suffered from PTSD, and her memories with me, mostly the happy memories was now long gone, and buried somewhere in her mind that she has no idea on how to get it back.

The guilt inside me grew, knowing I caused that. I want to pay for what I did, so, I took care of them much more, whenever Y/n goes to work, I take Avery with me, and then I'll cook her dinner, mostly we just hang out in her penthouse, but sometimes when we have so much free time, we would go out together.

Though, in those bondings we have, I couldn't help but feel jealous of Avery. I mean, you can't blame me! Y/n was always busy this past weeks, and Avery is always getting all her attention, so sometimes I took it in my own hands where I will let Avery sleep more earlier at night. Clever move, I know.

We still didn't tell Avery about... everything, well we talked about it, but she just said that we just need to find the right timing first. But, I know that she's just not ready. Avery became very clingy to me, and what more if we told her that i'm her another mother?

But, I let it, even though I badly want to tell Avery everything already. They come first. Y/n comes first.

They made me feel so complete, very complete, and I wouldn't trade every moments we had for the world.

Right at the moment, i'm driving my way to Y/n's penthouse, it's the day for The Outset's celebration party, I insisted in driving her there along with me, which she agreed on, plus, King is gonna look out for Avery while we're gone, thankfully.

I don't know why, but all my nerves felt so nervous. I feel so nervous. So, along the way while driving I tried my best to calm down. I mean, it's not like unnecessary things will happen, it's just probably the overwhelming feeling I have for today because it's a big day for my company, so yeah. Nothing to be really worried about.
