scarlett's view:
Growing up i was always like a little sister to christopher. i've always had the biggest crush on him, we grew up in diapers together, we learned how to ride bikes together, we went to homecoming together. we've done literally everything. now that he's graduated and i'll be a senior, everything's changed. the way he looks at me gives me this feeling in my stomach, butterflies. even my own friends see it, i know my brother sees it but he doesn't really like it he's really protective about that. it's summer break and of course we are going to the cabin, chris and his parents are gonna meet us down there.
"let's go scarlett!" ezra yells annoyed, i take forever to get ready and my family is always waiting on me, "coming!". the car ride down is about 2 hours, whole ride up i'm really anxious and excited to see chris. *bing!*
chris😜: hey scar. you guys on your way? my parents set up the whole cabin already. you know how my mom is haha.
HES TEXTING ME WHEN IM THINKING ABOUT HIM!
me: hi!! we are an hour away. haha yes i know how your mom is.
chris hearts my message and i put my airpods in and listen to my music.
"wake upppp" ezra says shaking me, "hey!" i am startled and push him, "i was just waking u up chilllll. we are here". i get out the car and help unload, "what's up!" i hear chris greeting ezra, chris walks up to me and hugs me, "hi scar" he smiles running his hands through his hair, i stare for a second, "hi chris" i smile blushing a little . he helps us unpack and get everything into the house.

It's an hour till sunset and our parents are out on the deck chatting, i hear a knock. "so how are you?" chris says laying on my bed, "i'm good, schools been busy. how are you christopher?" i say unpacking my clothes, "i'm alright. football has been a lot of i'm being honest and..." , he continues to speak. chris always knows how to open up to me, he has anger issues but he knows i'm a safe space therefore he usually talks to me about what's going on.
   "hey we are gonna watch a movie. you guys gonna go out?" ashley says peeking in the upstairs loft where chris, ezra and i were, "yeah we are gonna go to the beach near by and just hang with some people" chris explains, "okay well if you guys are gonna drink, text me or your dad. love you guys be safe!" she smiles and adds a friendly wink before leaving, ashley was always the cooler mom not that my mom isn't cool she's definitely more of the discipline but our dads are the worst. "we are?" ezra says, "yeah why not. my friend alisa invited us", i roll my eyes because alisa is the girl that is obsessed with him. "she's not coming" ezra says talking about me, "hey! yes i am. that's not fair", "why can't she? itd be fun come on!" chris says having my back, eventually e gives in.

arriving at the party, alisa runs up to chris and hugs him. ew. there's a lot of people, "here's a drink" a tall buff guy says, i sip down the vodka. i sit in the sand with some random people, and from a distance i see chris and alisa all on each other and ezra is making out with some random
girl. "hey. what's your name?" a boy says sitting near me, "hi? im scarlet. what about you?" i smile, he has pretty curly hair and dark tan skin. "my names jayson. you from here?" he asks, "yes actually i come here every summer and stay up at lake ana, but i'm from virginia beach!", im not gonna lie i'm really drunk right now so i slur most my words. i take some more shots and jayson does with me, as we are sitting he stares deep in my eyes and even though i didn't really feel anything connection wise i was just drunk and we start to kiss. he pulls me in closer but we are pulled away, "get the f*ck off her!" chris yells knocking him into the sand, "chris stop!" i say, "wtf is going on??!" ezra says quickly coming into the situation, "chris is fucking insane" i say storming off mad, i couldn't really think straight so i don't get far and fall asleep on someones porch along the way to the car...
     big arms lift me and carry me. "chrissy poooooo???" i slur fluttering my eyes and grabbing onto his muscles, "yes" he laughs, "im sorry i'm sorry about that guy. he wasn't even that attractive to be honest !", "okay. we are going home." chris says setting me in the backseat. ezra drives home and chris sits in the back with me rubbing my back. i fell asleep in the car so i feel chris picking me up and taking me up to my room, "hi!" i say tapping his nose, "here" he says hanging me his hoodie and some sweats tossed on the floor, "you're so cute" i say without thinking, "you're drunk", "no but i mean it!" i say , he turns around so i can change. "need anything?" he asks, "nooooo just you" i giggle, "you're funny. im gonna go ok?" , "no pls just stay in here. you can sleep on the floorrrr. plwesssse" i say pulling him in, "okay scar. go to sleep" he grabs a pillow and snuggles on the floor next to my bed. i lay down and reach my hand down, he places his hand on mine before falling asleep.
