Taken- a magcon fanfic

Chapter 3

"Wake up, Scarlett!"

"What Taylor?" I asked groggily, rubbing my eyes.

"I need you to hide. Some people are here and they can't see you."

"Who?!" I asked alarmed.

"Hurry!" He whisper yelled pushing me into the closet.

"Hey guys!!" I heard Taylor call from downstairs.

"Great, sounds like I will be in here a while." I whispered so that only I could hear as I got comfy.

I didn't mean to but I fell back to sleep, nestled in the warmth of Taylor's closet.

Taylor's POV

I couldn't let anyone, especially the guys see Scarlett. Once they heard she was single they would be all over her, because she was so beautiful. Plus I couldn't risk them revealing she was here, hiding.

"Hey, Taylor, could I go use your bathroom really quick?" Matt said.

"Yeah use the one upstairs." I replied.

Matts POV

I jogged up Taylor's stairs to the second floor and walked to his bedroom.

"Oops not the bathroom." I whispered quietly. But as I was about to leave a heard a giggle from his closet. I froze. Was I losing it? I had to inspect to confirm weather or not I was crazy. I slowly opened the white plain door revealing a petite girl in the corner.

She has long brown hair and deep yet soft brown eyes that had get and pain etched throughout them. It was as if I could see the story if her struggle written within her eyes. She was stunning.

"WH-" I began to yell just before she grabbed me by the hoodie and ripped me into the closet.

"Who are you!?" I whispered through the thick dark of the closet.

"My name is Scarlett." A soft frail vioce spoke. A voice that was worn from troubles and pain of the past. A voice that was broken like the owners soul.

"What are you doing here?!" I asked again.

"I could ask you te same question, couldn't i?" She replied calmly.

"My name is Matt! I'm Taylor's friend and your hiding in his closet!" I exclaimed.

"Keep your voice down. All you need to know is I'm hiding here for my own safety under the consent and instruction of one Taylor Caniff, and I my safety means anything to you, you will not tell a soul. A single SOUL, that I'm staying here. You can't let the others know I'm here." She spoke quietly yet with a sense of urgency.

"What are you hiding from, Scarlett?" I questioned.

"I...am......I'm hiding from....from hell." She said stopping to hold back what I assumed were tears. "Now go. And please don't tell anyone Matt."

"I promise." I said meaning every word.

"Thank you. I hope to see up again." SHe whispered as I slipped out of the closet.

Scarlett's POV

The quick glimpse I caught of this boy told me so many things. He had tan skin and golden hair. He was perfect. I know it's crazy that. At a time like this I could find muskeg interested in a boy but I was. I was very interested. I just hoped he kept my secret.

I once again drifted to sleep but this time I was more soothed.

I awoke later to voices. I had no idea what time it was or how long I had been asleep. I listened closely.

"Taylor thanks so much for letting Sasha stay with us for the weekend."

It was Matt's voice, but who was Sasha?

"No prob man, your girlfriend is welcome any time!" My heart sank. Matt had a girlfriend? Of course he did he was too amazing not to. I sighed and listened some more.

"Ok well see ya man. I will be down stairs. Head down here after your done." Taylor said again and I heard him leave. The closer door then opened.

"Matt?" I asked.

"Hey!" He said smiling an sat down next to me. I was then thankful the closet was so small causing us to have to face each other our faces inches apart.

"You came back?" I asked

"I wanted to talk to you." He said smiling. "I'm kinda intrigued by you."

"But why?"

"Your such a mystery." He said still smiling.

"I found it's easier to be a mystery, it keeps me from getting hurt." I replied.

There was a moment of silence.

"Was it a guy?" He asked suddenly.

"What?"

"A guy. Did a guy hurt you?"

"Yes. He hurt me bad, Matt." I

Said sadly, memories lashing threw my brain.

"And have you healed?" He asked shaving an inch off of the space between our faces.

"No, not entirely. But with help I think I'm could get there." I said softly.

Matt moved closer so that when he talked our lips brushed softly.

"What hasn't healed?"

"My heart. My ability to love and trust. My soul. But most of all, my scars." I whispered listing each thing like a sentence. "You should get going..... Since your girlfriend is here." I whispered barely audible. our lips brushed one final time as he said

"Goodbye." And then he was gone.
