Anxiety

Chapter 25 The plan, part 2

(Kirstie's POV)

"Ingrid?  What happened?"  I pulled her in and hugged her tight.

I was packing when I heard the doorbell rang.  I opened it and saw Ingrid standing there.  Her eyes were all red and she seemed out of breath.

"I-I- saw-"  She said between sobs.

"Calm down.  Here, sit."  I took her hand and brought her to the couch.

"I saw Scott kissing Amanda...she was on top of him, and..."  

"Oh, god.."  I was shocked after hearing Ingrid's story.

"I have to call Scott and tell him you're here, first."  I said, taking out my phone.

"No, please.."  She pleaded.

"He'll worry, you know that."  

She remained silence.

*With Scott and Amanda.* 

(Scott's POV)

"What should I do..."  I whined, burried my face in my hands.

"I'm sorry Scott, how can I be this clumsy.."  Amanda said.

"It's not your falt..."  I said.

I tried calling Ingrid, but she's not answering..

"Where did she go..?"  I mumbled.

"Maybe she will be at Kirstie's.  You should call and check."  She suggested.

"Right!!  But...what should I say to let her know that it was an accident?"  I asked.

"I don't think she would believe you if you do this on the phone. I mean, it looked so real.  Maybe, you should take her to a romantic dinner, meet her at the restaurant, and then explain to her what really happened."  She said.

It was actually a good idea!

"But, what if she didn't come?"  I asked.

"If she love you, she will."  She replied.

When I was thinking about where I should take her, my phone rang.  It's Kirstie!!!  God, I hope Ingrid's there.

*With Kirstie and Ingrid*

(Ingrid's POV)

Amanda was right.  Scott is meant to be with someone who is more attractive...not me.   I understand why Scott would kiss Amanda....but I just don't want to believe it was true.

Right now, Kirstie's calling Scott to tell him that I'm here.  I don't see the point for this, he's probably busy right now.

"Scott?"  Kirstie said to the phone.

"Yes, she's here.."  She turned around and gave me a look.  I shook my head quickly.

"She does't wanna talk to you."  Kirstie said.

"Okay, got it."  She then hung up.

"Scott said meet him at The Comet's Restaurant at 5."  She told me.  I hugged my knees and not say anything.

"You're going, Ingrid.  He loves you, I'm sure he didn't meant to kiss her."  Kirstie said.

"I don't see why not, Amanda's pretty and Scott's handsome.  They should be together..."  

"No, you and Scott should be together.  The way he looks at you, Ingrid, it's different than the way he looks at everybody else, including Amanda.  Ingrid, he loves you!!"  Kirstie looked me in the eyes, telling me what I needed to know.

"And I love him too..."  I mumbled.

Kirstie smiled and looked down on her phone.

" It's 4:50!!!  Now, go, go!! "  She urged.

I gave Kirstie a hug and left.

The restaurant is just near here, it's 5 minutes walk.  Basically, you just have to past this narrow lane behind Kirstie's apartment and you're there.

I was adjusting my messy hair and clothes while walking, and from nowhere, a hand came behind me, covered my mouth.

"Mmmmm!!!!"  I tried to shout and struggled my hardest.

This strong perfume....Amanda?

"Mmm!!Mmmmm!!!"

I felt something hard bang onto my head.  And then everything was a blurr. 

*At the restaurant.*

(Scott's POV)

I'm waiting here for like an hour.  Why hasn't she come yet...I thought she loves me.

I set the flowers that I bought for Ingrid aside.  Pressed my head on the table, and then I felt a tap on my shoulder.  ...Ingrid?

"So,  I guess she didn't come?"  I looked up, it was Amanda..
