Broken || Tyde Levi

truth be told.

-Scarletts POV-

I walked back into the ball room and found Tyde sitting at a table drinking punch. My heart began to beat as I walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and stood up, "Hey, you were in there for a while. I was beginning to get worried."
I half smiled, "No I'm fine, do you want to dance?"
Tyde took my hand and the both of us walked towards the dance floor slowly as they played a slow song. The song was actually Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran. One of my favourite songs by him. I looked at all of the couples around us. Tyde and I faced eachother in the darkness of the night.
I looked at the time, three minutes until the clock struck ten. Tyde slowly wrapped his arms around my waist and looked down at me. I put my arms on his shoulders and brought him in close. The both of us swayed from side to side along with the music. I wasn't keeping eye contact with him, I just continued to stare at the clock.
"Scarlett what's wrong?" Tyde asked, "Scarlett look at me." Tyde grabbed my chin and I faced him. I let him go and took a step back to get a closer look at the clock. Five...four...three...two...one.
Ten loud dings emerged from the grandfather clock in the corner or the room. I looked over at Tanya and Julia. The shook their heads in disappointment and Tanya made the call. "Scarlett what's going on?" Tyde asked behind me.
Tears began to rush down my cheeks as he said that. I quickly wiped them away and faced him. "Nothing just...just dance with me." I put my arms around his neck and burried my face in his chest. Tyde put his head on top of mine and kept his hands on my waist. The tears came streaming. It was over. All of it. In a way it was best. I didn't deserve anyone like Tyde in my life. I was mean to him, I lied to him, and I did so much more that made me constantly wonder why he was still with me.
I looked up at him, he wiped away a tear that was running down my cheek with his thumb. Tyde brought me in close and kissed me. I didn't want this moment, right here, to be over. I wanted to just stay here in his arms forever Because in his arms, with his lips on mine, I was safe from the world. Sadly this would be the last kiss we would ever have. I separated our lips and continued to look at him. His eyes were wide and bright.
Then that's when I heard the police sirens in the distance. My heart dropped and I looked over to the window. They were almost here. I looked back at Tyde.
"Scarlett, is everything okay?" Tyde said.
"There's something I've been meaning to tell you." I finally said.
"What is it?"
The sirens were loud and the lights were right outside, "Tyde I'm not who you think I am."
"What do you mean?"
The doors to the ball room slammed open. The lights came on and the music stopped, a huge groan let out of everyone in the room. "Its the police!" Someone yelled.
Tyde grabbed my had and pulled me back. My shoulder was rested against his chest and I felt his heartbeat through his shirt. My eyes closed, it was beating so fast.
I opened them again, "We received a call that the felon, Jade Peterson, was here."
"Who? What?" People asked.
"Jade Peterson, we have you surrounded. Serrender now and no one gets hurt."
My heart was beating so fast I thought I was having a heart attack. I closed my eyes again and let go of Tyde's hand. I took a step forward and my legs trembled. "Scarlett what are you doing?"
"Tyde, it's okay." I said before taking another step. "I'm right here!" I announced out loud. The people around me turned and faced me. They all made a passage way so it would be easier for the police to get me. "Put your hands in the air, and turn around." I did what I was told and faced Tyde.
He looked at me with fear and confusion written all over his face. "Tyde, I'm sorry." I whispered to myself."
"Hey, you have the wrong girl!" Tyde yelled as an officer put handcuffs on me. "Scarlett!" He began to run up to me but another police officer pushed him away.
"TYDE! HEY DONT HURT HIM!" I screamed.
"SCARLETT!"
"TYDE!" I yelled as I got pulled away.
"I LOVE YOU!" Tyde's voice echoed in my head as I was being escorted out of the hotel.
