The End Of Summer

Chapter 5

Scarlet
<<<<<<<
What!
Am I going crazy?
Sage and Nathan?
*GAG*

She just stands there with her eyes closed for a while. I am so having a talk with her!

The same thing happened to me except I pushed Asher away and she let Nathan back in.

I can't talk to her now I need to wait and scope them out to make sure I saw what I saw.

In the meantime, I need to get out of here. Hospital fumes are making me crazy. That's when I realize that I don't have a car.

I walk back to Aspens room, knowing there is someone who has a car. Galen.

"Galen Can I talk to you?"

"Um yeah", Galen and I walk around the corners by the elevators.

"Scarlet is everything okay, what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong. I just need to get away for a while. Hospital fumes are killing my head."

Galen looks at me with question. I know he is contemplating what is happening.

"My watch shift ends in 30... We can go then."

"We?"

"Yeah we" he smiles.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" I jump in his arms and throw my arms around his neck. His arms snake around my waist and he slowly sets me back on the ground. Our eyes lock and his flickers from my eyes to my lips then back to my eyes. I lean a little closer to him.

He pulls back.

"Scarlet, we cant. Someone might see us and I could loose my job." he steps back.

" Meet me here in 30." he walks away leaving me confused.
------------------------------

I walk back to the elevator where Galen told me to meet him. He is sitting on the bench, but when he sees me he stands up and pushes the button. As we ride down we stand in awkward science.

"Why won't you talk to me? What did I do?" I finally ask breaking the silence.

He looks at me with his piercing blue eyes, as if he is trying to read me.

"Nothing scarlet. You did nothing. it's what I can't do." he looks away. The elevator comes to a stop, and we get out. He walks faster in front of me. I have to run a little to keep up, as we walk into the parking garage.

"What! What can't you do! Why are you taking this out on me!" I scream. He reaches the car and stops. He punchs the hood. I jump at his sudden action.

"I like you scarlet, and I can't be with you because I am a counselor and you are a camper." he walks closer to me and tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear.

He turns away. He ran a hand through his black hair.

"Then let's not tell anyone, it can be our secret. Galen please."

"Whatever. Lets go do something crazy." he says, a smile returning to his face. I run and get into the car.

"Where to?"

"I know just the place, I said with an evil grin.
....................................

We walk back into the hospital looking for Sage. We were gonna have a talk.
I get to the room and walk in.
"Sage we need to talk"

She looks at me and Galen with wide eyes.

"Scarlet! What the hell did you do to your hair!!!!"
