A Dream Come True! [On Hiatus]

Chapter 17: What Happens Next?

Scarlett's POV;

I soundly lay on a soft, cushy surface as my shallow breathing makes slow, quiet, rhythmic sounds.

"Where's my baby?!", suddenly shouts a frantic and furious voice that I couldn't make out who it belonged to.

Huh..?

I ever so slowly, flutter my eyes open. I blink a several times before the scene in front of me begins to sharpen.

Aunt Cailey is fisting and punching Robin on the chest, screaming with all her might. Her glassy eyes are red and puffy, as if she'd been crying for hours. The ends of her pink blouse are messily tucked into her pencil skirt, as if she'd just thrown on some clothes in a hurry- not caring about how it looked on her.

"Hey! Hey, stop! She's right over there!", Robin holds his hands out in surrender.

Aunt Cailey sharply whips her head towards me and breaks down, "Scarlett Jade Clark! I was worried sick!"

She practically lifts me off the sofa and squeezes me tightly and closely to her.

"I-It's good to s-see you too", I manage to choke out before she pulls away.

"What happened to you honey? Are you alright? Did you get hurt?", she scans me with those observant, motherly eyes of hers. Then, her eyes slowly stop onto my damp t-shirt. Well, Robin's T-shirt...

"What's that? You did get hurt!", she tries to lift my Tee but I quickly stop her.

"N-no! It's nothing!", I lie through regret.

"Mr.Robin.... You better explain yourself!", Cailey turns her sharp, icy gaze to Robin and he visibly gulps nervously.

"Okay. I'll tell you everything", Robin nods solemnly and I crease my brows up at him.

He couldn't! What if she tells the police or something?! Then, we'll all be in trouble!

Robin notices my hesitation and quietly smiles. He turns back to Aunt Cailey but with a more serious look.

"But first... Could I have a moment with Scarr?", he asks sweetly.

"Certainly not! How do I know if you were the one that put my baby in danger!", she bursts out ferociously.

"Please Auntie, he's innocent. Please believe me", I find myself defending the blonde.

How strange that one time she loved and praised Robin like he was a god, while I used to hate him and now... She hates his guts whereas, I'm defending him!

"Okay Hun. But just a minute, ok?", she sighs defeatedly and I mentally cheer.

I quickly grab Robin by the hand and pull him to somewhere, seeming to have gain my energy back.

-"_"-

"Thank you so much for everything", I start off, literally hugging the slender guy in front of me with grace.

"It's no big deal. You needed help anyway", Robin brushes me off coolly but I still notice the proud, happy vibe he has.

Suddenly, a raw pain shoots through my abdomen and I wince noisily.
Way to ruin the moment!

"Arg! Are you all right?", Robin immediately sits me on his bed and raises the hem of my shirt. He gasps slightly and I start to fret.

"What? Is it that bad?", I whisper, wide-eyed.

"N-no....its just.... It has turned blue", he mutters almost to himself and I trail my gaze down to my side. It really is blue! Yikes!

"Just...what the f*ck, did Tyler use to scar you with?", he hisses agitatedly.
