Remmington's School for Troubled Teens

Crazy In Love

Scarlett's POV

When I woke up the next morning, I was extremely confused. But not for the reason you might think.

Last night was overwhelming for me. And scary. And, well confusing. We talked for a long time, we laughed and I was smiling. I was really smiling. And so was he. But the worst part was that we almost kissed.

I wanted to shoot myself in the face. We almost kissed. How could I have put myself in that position? He was a fuckboy. He probably told me he thought that he liked me because he wanted to get in my pants. And here I was, just lying in the same bed with him, cuddled into his arms.

Then, his ring tone. It was my mom's favorite Marc Anthony song. How does that happen?! What kind of sick and terrible coincidence was that?! Oh my god, then I cried in his arms. Why? Why the hell did I do that? I hate crying in front of people. I never used to. Ever! But Luke here comes along and screws it all up! God! What was I doing?

So I sat up in bed after reflecting on last night's horrific events, and immediately regretted it. My head was throbbing from dehydration. And I had no idea where Luke was. Then I heard the shower running and answered my own question.

I got off the bed and walked over to the tiny mini fridge, hoping water was in there. And there was, two bottles.

I guzzled down the first one and then filled it back up with disgusting sink water, drinking all of that too. Now all I needed was some Advil. I had some in my bag but it was in the car. So I put my shoes on, grabbed the room key, grabbed Luke's keys, and then walked to his car.

On my way back up I grabbed four more free complementary water bottles from the lobby, as well as some breakfast for Luke. I would just tell him that I ate something when I was down there.

When I got to the room, I walked in finding a freaking out and shirtless Luke on the phone, his hair still soaking wet.

"I don't know!! I got out of the shower and couldn't find her!" He said exasperatedly.

I sat the water and Advil down and called his name.

"Luke? What is going on?" I asked, opening the cap to the water and swallowing two Advil pills.

"Oh my god! Scarlett!" He dropped his phone and ran over to hug me.

"Uke, our ushin meh" I muffled as I was squeezed in his grasp.

"What?" He asked and then let me go.

"I said you were crushing me." I took a breath and then drank some more water.

"I didn't know where you went, I was freaking out. I'm sorry..." He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"I just went to get some water and Advil. I was dehydrated and my head hurt really badly. I didn't mean to scare you..." I spoke as I threw my empty water bottle in the trash.

"Well I'm ready to drive back, are you ready to go?" He asked me now drinking his water.

"Yea. I'm just going to shower and then we can go." So I grabbed my clothes and walked into the bathroom, locking it. I stripped down of all my clothing and then stared at myself in the mirror, hating what I saw.

Scars all over my fat, left thigh and abdomen, skin that was too pale for my liking, ugly sloped nose. I started to tear up, then ripped myself away from the mirror and into the hot shower. The water stinging the fresh cuts on my right wrist because I took my bracelets off to shower.

I finished in less than ten minutes and dried off, put my clothes on, and let my long hair air dry.

"Are you ready?" I asked Luke when we walked out.
