Maybe This Time

Chapter 6

Scarlett's POV

I walk back to cast. My mind is stuck between that woman who I bump with. "You okay there, Scarlett?" Hemsworth asks taking a sip from his drink. I nod. "You don't look okay," Lizzie said. I just shrugged my shoulder.

I continue to drink, I'm a bit tipsy so I decide to stop. I just seat there and wait at the door if that woman will come back.

Every time the door opens, I quickly turn my head and get disappointed every time. Maybe I'm tipsy and the alcohol kick in that's why. I just missed her. I missed her so much.

"Excuse me, Joe. Do you have Lucas's keys?" I heard the same voice from the counter. I'm about to approach her but she runs towards the exit. "Thank you!" She shout and wave but I didn't recognize her face. Damn it.

I sit back and stare at the void. I want her back, I want to explain and apologize.

Y/N's POV

This is why I don't usually drink. I have a wasted friend and I don't know his house so I keep on asking him even though he's blurting non-sense. "Where I will drop you, Lucas?" I ask for the nth time. "You're really pretty and that bitch decide to break your heart," he said. I faced palm and shook my head. "Give me your address, Lucas," I said firmly. "Oh, she's mad. When did you get laid?" I glared at him and proceed to start the car. I won't get an answer to this moron.

"Come on man, your heavy" I complain. I bring him in the house. I laid him on the couch and he's laughing. People do crazy things when they are drunk. Thank God I only have 3 shots.

"Am I not enough?" He ask when I handed him a glass of water. He's sober now. "Am I that selfish to choose my career over him?" He asks again. "Or he's just possessive and didn't want me to go?" I glance at him and continue to listen.

"If that possessiveness kills you and your dream, it's okay to go. You're enough and worth it. You're not selfish for choosing something that only comes once in a lifetime. Sometimes it's okay to be selfish and put yourself first." I said. "You don't have to question yourself just because someone said you're not being selfish or something bad. You don't have to blame yourself just because you can't control things around you." And tap his shoulder.

I let him rest in the guestroom. I proceeded to my room and arraigned the things I need for tomorrow's conference. I put my laptop, charger, power bank, and cords. I also fix my suit for tomorrow.

I stare at the ceiling hoping any minute now. I feel my eyelids getting heavier so I let them rest.

"What happened?" I asked her. She's crying and immediately clung to me when she heard my voice. "Baby, what happened?" I asked her hoping I could get an answer. She just cry on my shoulder, so I let her. I carry her inside her trailer, she's on my lap, head on my neck. I caress her back, whisper affirmation words to her ears.

Until she calmed down, I'm about to get up but she clung to me like a koala. "Don't go" she said. I sigh and hold her close. "I won't go, darling," I said. "You want to tell me what happened? If you're comfortable, I will listen to" cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead.

"I just feel bad, I saw random tweets and they told me im not good for you. That I should let you go and find someone else because you don't deserve me" she said, tears running down. I immediately wipe it and hugged her. "You're the one I deserve, you're the one I want to share my life with, you're the one I need. You don't have to listen to them, their opinions are invalid and nonsense to me. You're the best thing that happened to my life and I will pay just to be with you" I said. Staring at her puffy red-green eyes. I just feel like I want to punch someone for making her cry.
