Badboy and the trip

My Scarlett

Ethan's POV.

"Hey watchout ! "

I dodge the ball coming in my direction.
I picked it up from one hand.

"Easy little man " I said to the kid from park, who came to get back the ball.
He took it and ran away.

" Did you scare him off or what? "

I shrugged.

I made some space on the bench for Scarlett to sit.

"Thanks." She smiled a little.

We just sat like this for few minutes, without uttering any word.
There's something about this silence between us, it's all peace.

"How's your hand now?"

"Little bit better"

"Wasn't you supposed to be at home? resting?"

"Yeah..but I was feeling better." I looked down on my hand.

The thing is I didn't want to stay at home. Not after morning argument with dad.

Her eyes were telling me that she sensed something was off.

I smiled a bit.

"What was that you wanted to talk about? " I asked her.

' Meet me at the park after school..need to talk about something.
~ Scarlett'

"Y-Yeah" she sighed and looked down on her hand resting on her lap.

"Umm..that day..I wasn't expecting to see you at Jackson's place. "

" Sorry, I didn't want to freak you out too? " I raised my eyebrows for her to continue.

She sighed again.

" I was just..concerned about..you. " I continued.

The way she cried and hugged me that day after hospital made me worried about her.
Something was not right, something happened.

She tried to hold back her tears again.
I could feel it.

I put my hands on her shivering hands on her lap, they were cold.

" I am....sorry " she uttered.

"Hey ! Hey ! Scar.." I wrapped my arm around her, embracing her. She snuggled in and her tears didn't stop.

After all this time, I couldn't watch her in this state, that's not how I met my Scarlett.

Scarlett's Pov

" Sure, you gonna be okay? " He asked, before letting me in my car.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you? " I glanced at his plastered hand.

" Don't worry about me , it's nothing. It's fine, I'll ask Jackson to pick me up."

" I can drop you, if you want. Also, it wouldn't be safe here for someone this cute to be all alone. You know, a girl might kill herself. "

" Oh God !" He chuckled and shook his head.

I smirked.

"Now get in." I opened the door for him.

"And the chivalry is not dead." He smirked.

I bowed my head and smiled.
