Their Flower (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7 -- Buttercup🥭

Elijah's POV:

Let's be real when have I ever thought about a girl more than once and is still thinking about her?

I mean maybe one or two times but that's not the point. The point is to make her fall her me and not Adrian. Even though he's my best friend I have a feeling he's about to start playing dirty.

Ever since they left about 10 minutes ago I've just been waiting int he living room glancing at the front window every once in a while.

A throat cleared snapping me out of my window sight seeing.

Hope came into view. She sat on the couch opposite of me while leaning forward.

"I see how you look at her" she stated.

"Look at who" I asked playing dumb.

"Don't play dumb, you know how you look at her Scarlett. Likes shes the most beautiful and interesting thing to see"

"No I don't and even if I did she doesn't even lo- like me back" I said sadly. She looked at me suspiciously before responding.

"You don't see it but you love her and that only comes around once maybe not even. But when it does come around you take it and hold on to it.

She's a precious, smart, beautiful girl she deserves you and you deserve her. Just act on your feelings before it's too late, because I'd hate to see you moping around here heartbroken." She said laughing lightly and walked back up the stairs leaving me dumbfounded in my own mind.

Hope was never one with words, it was always mom or Joy. So this really surprised me when she came down here and gave me good advice. Maybe I should listen to her... Or maybe not.

I don't know why I even do this. It's clear that she likes Adrian more. I shouldn't mess up his chances when she has real feelings for him and not me. Even though I want to be the one she wakes up to, thinks of before going to bed and thinking of when she awakes.

It hurts to think that I might've lost her to Adrian. Maybe I already lost her, or I never even had her in the first place.

Because inmy world she already has my heart. I just hope that I already have hers....

Adrian's POV:

I am very nervous on how she will react to this date. Even people see me as this badboy who has this extra hard exterior on the outside. I have feelings like everyone else I just don't let my eyes give them away.

To be honest I want to know what it feels like to be loved by someone other than your own family.

I'm tired of putting on a front for everybody. I just want to have that one person I can be myself around and let my guard down. I just want to feel free from everyone's judging eyes.

That person for me is Scarlett Hilton.

After our concert in the car from singing 'Fire on fire' by Sam Smith, we were finally at the beach.

You might wonder why I brought her here. Well let me tell you...
