Through the course of the party, I chatted a lot with Mrs. Hemmings and Celeste. They seemed very fond of me and I couldn't help but feel, safe. But then Liz asked me something that got me choked up.
"So Scarlett, what was it like growing up for you?"
I paused and almost spat my drink out.
"Uh, it was alright. The usual growing up."
"Do you have any siblings?" She continued.
"Excuse me," I say before standing and pacing out of the room to find a bathroom. I turn my head slightly and see Luke frantically explaining and making motions with his hands. Then he makes eye contact with me and begins to chase after me.
"Scarlett come back here!"
"Luke I'm so sorry," I sob as I slide down to the floor against a wall in some hallway. "I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment to you. I can't even carry a normal conversation with your mother! I shouldn't have come tonight."
Luke stays quiet and bites his lip. I can see his jaw clenching. Then, he takes a seat next to me and grabs my hand. His thumb strokes across my palm in a slow, relaxing manner.
"Scar, look at me. You are not a disappointment. I explained it to my mom. She understands. You have nothing to be ashamed of Scarlett don't you get it? I love you."
Returning a half-smile, I kiss Luke's cheek and stand.
"Thank you. I think I've had a long enough night though."
He nods understandingly and heads off to grab our belongings.
A/N- AHHHHHH hope you enjoy this. I've been really sad recently because of Zayn leaving One Direction so sorry if this is a crappy update. Ily all xoxo
