My life as Scarlett Ryder.

Chapter 7

Scarlett's P.O.V

2 Weeks later.

Ever since I told Blake that I didn't like Chase in any way or form, Chase has been 100% horrible to me. He shoves me out of the way, calls me names and gives me icy cold glares each time I pass by.

And I want to hate him. I really do. But I can't help but feel something for him. I know, it's totally insane and doesn't make any sense what-so-ever and I hate it. I don't even know what it is about him that draws me in to him. Is it his eyes? Or how his perfectly sculptured lips turn up in the most perfect smile when he see's Tiffany or his mother? Is it the way he's so caring towards his sister and parents?

Or is it how he's so mysterious and closed in?

Every night at 9.32pm, Chase will sneak out of the house, hop onto his red motorbike and speed off down the road. Then I'll hear him get in at about 1.30am or 2am in the mornings, he'll go to the bathroom, curse lightly then go to bed.

Whatever it is, I have got to get past it and move on. Chase has made it VERY clear that he hates me with a burning passion and doesn't want anything to do with me, ever. Lucky for me that I have Blake on my side.

Blake, unlike Chase, has been amazingly sweet and caring towards me. He's become one of my closest friends and I can trust him with almost anything. Although, not enough to tell him about Leo. I'm not sure if I ever will be able to.

Me and Olly have met up quite a few times in the past weeks and he's become a great friend. Always there to cheer me up when I'm down. And he has a great taste in fashion. And guys.

"And then I said..." Tiff trailed off and I nodded, dazing off into my own world. "Scarlett! Are you even listening to me?" I shook my head. "Nah not really." Tiff swated my arm lightly as her eyes wandered over to someone at a table on the far left.

My eyes followed hers and I saw El and a guy there, laughing away to themselves. I turned back to Tiff and bit my lip, holding in my excitement. "Lets go." Tiff mouthed to me and I nodded. I slowly got up out of the chair I paid the lady at the counter, grabbed my coffee and walked out of the cafe.

Once we were far away enough from the cafe, me and Tiff burst out into a fit off giggles and excitement. "Oh my god they were so cute!" I nodded in agreement. "Did you see who it was?" Tiff grinned at me and took out her iPhone. "I took a picture." I snorted. "Stalker."

She rolled her eyes and I looked at the picture. I narrowed my eyes at the guy, he looked extremely familliar. "Do you recognise him?" I asked Tiff as we continued to walk back home. She bit her bottom lip and shook her head.

"No, he looks older than us. Maybe 20, 21 y'know." I nodded and my mind kept bugging me about something. But I didn't know what it was.

I sat down on the sofa and closed my eyes, my head throbbing. I felt a moist pair of lips press to my forehead and I smiled. I openes my eyes to meet Blake's warm, comforting eyes. He smiled down at me and got on the sofa next to me. There wasn't enough room so he pulled me up so I was laying ontop of him. I giggled and tried to get off him but he wrapped his arms around me so I couldn't move.

"So, how was your day?" He whispered in my ear. I shrugged. "It was okay. Me and Tiff went to the park, then went to the cafe. We saw Marielle and some guy on a date. He looked weirdly familliar, it scared me. I can't remember who it is." I felt Blake nod.

He took a deep breath and nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck. "Scarlett, can I ask you a question?" I nodded and closed my eyes.

"Will you go out on a date with me?" I froze, un-sure what to do. I mean, I don't even like Blake in THAT way. Yeah I consider him a really good friend but not romamtically.

Gah, what the heck.

"Sure." I whispered, unsure whether what I was doing was right or wrong. I guess I'll find out later on hey?

I closed my eyes and cuddled into Blake, feeling sleep sweep over me.

Blake's P.O.V

I grinned smugly as Chase walking into the living room. I stroked Scarlett's curly hair and played with the ends of it. Chase stiffened when he saw Scarlett sleeping on my chest and he glared at me.

"She said yes." Chase frowned and looked at me questioningly. "What?" He snapped, which made my smirk grow. "I asked her out and she said yes." I could feel Chase's piercing glare on me before I met his eyes.

"Why would you do that?! Why would you ask her out when you KNOW that I like her. WHY would you do that?!" He yelled, furious. I frowned innocently. "Oh I'm sorry brother. I couldn't tell that you like her. Do you know why?" He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off.

"Because of the way you treat her! She deserves so much better! And sadly for you, you're NOT IT." Chase glared at me, and if looks can kill, I would have already been 6 foot under the ground.

He stormed off and I heard a loud slam of the front door. Well, I guess he's out of the way for the moment.

"Hey Blake." Marielle smiled at me as she walked in, hand in hand with a brown haired green eyed guy that looked older than us.

"Hey El." I continued to play with the ends of Scarlett's hair, curling the ringlets around my finger.

El frowned at me, looking from my face to Scarlett's. "Did you...?" I nodded and grinned. I wrapped my arms around her waist and hugged her to me, giving me her warmth. "Yup. Chase got angry because he likes her aswell."

El's mouth formed an 'o' shape and she gasped. "But Chase Winters never just "Likes" a girl. He always uses them." I nodded. "I know. That's why it's better I have her than him." El stiffened at my last sentence but I ignored it anyway.

Scarlett's P.O.V

I yawned and streched my arms high above my head. I heard a low chuckle beneath me and I jumped up, startled. I let out a sigh of relief when I realised it was only Blake. My cheeks heated up when I remebered that he'd asked me out, and I'd said yes.

"Red?" A deep voice asked and my eyes snapped upto a pair of green eyes which were identical.

Oh. My. God.

Kill me now.
