The Truth About Us (Austin Mahone Fan Fic- editing)

Chapter 11- Change Was Good (e)

Scarlette's POV

~~~

I stared up at the ceiling. Light blue, the perfect color- a Tiffany's blue, robin blue, happy blue.

Isn't it weird that we associate colors with certain things? Like a dark blue, so dark that it's almost black makes me think of the night. While a turquoise blue reminds me of the sea. And this blue, the light blue paint of my room reminded me of the carefree times and the sky. Colors can also dictate our moods. The dark blue creates fear and anxiety for me. While turquoise makes me stressed, for some reason. And of course the blue color of my wall makes me feel calm. Isn't that strange?

Turning my head I looked out the window. It was a sunny day, light peaked through the perfectly parted curtains, and when a light breeze picked up, the curtains fluttered like delicate butterfly wings. The pillows felt plush and soft underneath my head, and my covers were the prettiest lavender color.

Change was good. I closed my eyes and inhaled the cool morning air. You know when people say that air smells good and has a certain scent? Yeah well, to me, air smells like air. Just plain old air. Maybe I just have a weak nose...

One year I pinned over him, was sad because of him. One whole year I cried myself to sleep every night. I obsessively wrote letters and thought about just ending life. One year... but finally, I was letting go. 

And the first to go was all the black. The bleek colored walls, dark covers, thick curtains, everything had to go, everything had to be replaced. I had decided to redecorate my room. I changed my blank, depressing band posters filled walls to a robin egg blue with photos of my friends and family, and traded the messy, dark color scheme of my bed in for a lavendar and white appearance. This was my post- Austin look. This was my Austin-Mahone-I-Am-Done-Crying-Over-Your-Sorry-Ass makeover.

Opening my eyes, I surveyed my new room. "Not bad" I thought, it was different. It was perfect. No more Austin, no more trouble.

Finally, I was happy. I was happy without him. I could be who I really wanted to be, because after one whole year, I was reading to let go of that boy. Maybe one day, I might even date Chance again... I mean he wasn't all that bad. Or perhaps I'll find someone who's better than Chance, better than Austin even... who knows.

Satisfied I closed my eyes and began to drift off.

"Scarlett..."

"Scarlett...."

"Scarlett wake up."

"God, Scarlette get up! It's the middle of the day, now stop sleeping and get the hell up!"

"Go away." I mumbled. "I'm tired, and anyways it's perfectly normal to sleep in the middle of the day, it's called a nap." I rolled over on my side and pulled the covers closer to my body.

"Scarlette wake up. There's someone here for you." A hand touched my shoulder, and then I heard my curtains being parted, allowing all the sunlight to stream in.

"Mmmm, go away. I don't wanna wake up." I seriously wished I had those dark, thick curtains back. "Close the curtains on your way out."

"Scarlett!" The voice jolted my eyes open, and I came face to face with Maddison.

"What is possibly so important that you had to wake me up?" I gave her a nasty look, flopping back in bed. "Can you not see and hear that I was napping?" I grabbed my pillow threw it over my head.

"Austin's here..."
