Alessandro

I toss on my bed, unable to keep Scarlett out of my head

I couldn't help but think of they day she told me she's leaving...

--

"I'll always come back for you. I'm just glad that you're here with me... I love you Scarlett" I say in compete honesty

I know what I did back at the carnival was wrong and I swear, I wanted to sacrifice myself instead of letting them take he-

"I love you too but I can't stay"

Did I hear her correctly?

"What?" I look at her, shocked of what she said

"I'm sorry Alessandro. I need to fulfill my dreams and I don't think you're a part of that dream... at least not at the moment... I'm sorry" she bites her lip, looking down

Ouch... That hurts a lot. She doesn't think that I'm a part of her dream?

"I understand. After all of this. You need time to think and you need to be free. But please... let me help you..." I grab her hand softly, frowning

"Thank you but I'll have to decline. I need to learn on living alone and depending on myself. I'll come visit someday" she looks up, slightly smiling at me

"I'd be lying if I said that I won't miss you"

"I'd miss you too Alessandro. Thank you for everything that you have done for me. I can't thank you enough."

"You are very welcome Scarlett. Know that I really do love you and only you."

--

I sigh and close my eyes, pleased to have Scarlett back in my life.

But... I don't even know where she is at.

Fuck

Scarlett

"Nina. Oh Gosh I missed you so much" I hug Nina as I opened the front door

"It's been awhile. I missed you too Scar" she pulls away from the hug

"It has. How are you by the way?" I say after closing the door so we could both sit down.

"Chris and I went out... We're kinda official" she blushes and I grin

"Kinda official? Why not official?"

"We went on a couple of dates and he said that he loves me but he hasn't asked me to be his yet"

I frown, thinking of the day that Alessandro told me that he loves me...

"... I love you Scarlett" he says and I sigh

"I love you too but I can't stay"

"Scarlett?" Nina shakes me softly and I look at her

"Huh? Yeah. I'm fine"

"I didn't even... never mind. Have you talked to Alessandro?"

"Yeah. We met at a coffee shop by accident"

"It's meant to be" she squeals grabbing both of my hands

"It's not Nina..."

"Shut the hell up. It's meant to be for me."

"I don't even know where he is. We accidentally met and I left. He said he'll find me but how can he find me?"

"You're talking about the billionaire here Scar. Of course he will find you. He always will"

"But what if I don't want him to find me..."

"Shut up you liar. For all we know, you've been dreaming about him since you left"

"Was not"

"Was too"

"Whatever" I mumble and hug my knees
