SCARLET'S POV ^^^^^ (yay or nay?)

The next day, I woke up with a sore and achy pain from my hip. I threw my legs over the edge of my bed and hopped down onto the carpeted floor. I winced at the sudden stinging pain and slowly started to head downstairs.

Step by step, second by second, I made it downstairs and into the kitchen area. I went into the cabinets to find some cereal only for a yellow post it now to float down onto the counter top.

Hi sweetie,

I have a business trip and I will be gone for at least three weeks. I'm so sorry I had to go, but as you know we have many bills to pay and Lots of things to to care of. I told Liz that you'll be staying at her house so I packed a suitcase. It's sitting in the right corner of your room. I love you!

Love,

Mom

Wow. That's amazing! She's missing Christmas for her stupid job. She has such a cold heart sometimes it's unbelievable! Yeah it's a really good idea to leave your anorexic daughter with mild depression that's getting worse with her ex-boyfriends parents.

I grabbed a handful of dry cereal and started slowly nibbling on a fruity pebbles. I took a deep breath in and remembered what the Phycologist told me: if I eat little by little every day And take my antidepressants I won't need to be hospitalized.

I traveled back up to my room and grabbed my super heavy suitcase. I made a distorted face whilst pulling the bag down the stairs. Once I made it,I was panting. I snatched my phone off the couch and looked through my notification.

Text from Michael:

Did u break up with Luke?

My heart sank at his words. I still can't believe that I could do such a heartless thing. I told him I loved him when I was with Luke. I don't even know why I said it. Maybe it was in the moment. Maybe I was just looking for some more comfort. I don't really know.

Michael: he was always my best friend. We've always had each other's back. I couldn't remember a day when I didn't like him a tad bit, but as we grew older I feel like my affections towards him grew.

Luke: a boy that I moved next to when we were six years old. I always liked Luke and thought I could be more than friends with him and Michael knew all about my crush on him. He wouldn't ever seem upset, but what would I know?

Spending all that time with Michael made me realize that I did like him, but when I got together with Luke I noticed that he was the one. The one who can make me safe. The one who can love me like I want to be loved. And the one I can call my soulmate for the rest of my life. I'm just confused about everything and this has been going on for almost a month and I'm just sick and tired of it.

Before I knew it I walked into the Hemmings household. I shivered from the raw memories. I strolled into the dining room to see Liz, Luke, and Michael. "Hi Scarlet we want to talk to you," Liz said.

"Um okay," I sat down in a chair.

Luke and Michael both looked like they were crying which made my chest hurt. "We want you to explain everything from your perspective. I told the boys that it's very co gaunt being a tee far girl and they agreed so you can just be open."

My eyes started to water and I looked at the two boys. "So before you left Michael told me he loved me. I g-guess it was just in the moment and I said it back. I'm sorr-ry Michael but I meant nothing by it. I feel like I just needed more comfort," Michael threw his hands over his face and I could hear slight whimpers escaping his mouth, "a-after that I completely shut down. I couldn't believe I would do that to Luke and I felt like he would just be furious with me so I didn't reply to any of his calls or voicemails. I eventually stopped eating and over time you see I've developed anorexia and depression. I-I'm just a stupid, naive girl that made a mistake and I'm just sick and tired with myself. I absolutely hate myself and I-I I." Immediately I broke down.

I slammed my head against the table and cried for what felt like hours, but was just a few minutes. I lifted myself and blitzed as fast as I could to the bathroom. I opened the toilet seat, coughing up blood and Luke chasing after me. He flushed the toilet and yelled to Liz to call an ambulance.

About five minutes later a stretcher was rolled into the bathroom, with some of the medic people putting me on and shoving me quickly into the ambulance. An oxygen mask was placed over my mouth since I was hardly breathing and my lungs were practically closing in on me. Darkness soon took over my body and I felt myself go into a different dimension.

I saw my body looking skinny and frail as ever with Luke,Liz, and Michael crying. The hospital wasn't as far as I thought and I was rushed immediately into the ER. They hooked up IVs into my body and many machines were blipping to the beat of my heart.

My body looked cold and lifeless, but that's the mowing when I realized that I'm actually not dead, just in a coma.

Luke soon walked in with a single rose and sat down next to me. "Ary," he whispered, "it's already been a few days and you haven't waken up yet." I have been in a coma for a few days? "I over heard them talking about the scars they found on your hips. I know you were stressed with the whole feud, but why? You're such an amazing girl and the thought of ever loosing you makes me want to just lie down next to you, so I could go where you are right now. I want to know what you're thinking. What you're feeling. What has been actually happening to my Scarlet. I'm just scared and confused. I still love you Ary and I never will stop loving you. I-I just don't know what's going to happen. And the scariest part isn't going to be moving on. It's going to be letting go."
