IRREVERSIBLE

Chapter 11

The greatest happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves or rather love inspite of ourselves.

The best love is the one that awakens the soul, that makes us reach for more ,that plants the fire in our hearts and bring peace to our minds.

Life has never felt so beautiful. Have you ever woken up one day and everything seems so perfect. When your happiness remains unwavering even in the ugliest of situations?

Yeah, that's how I woke up today and probably every other day in the past one week, not because life has been easy or all my problems have been fixed but because my heart has discovered something new, exciting, intriguing but most of all scary.

Am no longer that sad, sullen teenage girl that used to hide her pain with arrogance, and to be honest I like the new me.

"I assume you are in a good mood." Candy says bringing me back to the here and the now.

"Why do you say that?" I ask as we head to our next class.
"You've been smiling like a loon from morning... I don't want want to sound nosey but the curiosity is killing me." She whines giving me the spill-the-beans look.

"Justine asked me to be his girlfriend." I say in low squeaky voice because I just can't conceal the thrill.

"Oh em gee...did he really? Am so happy for you Scarlett" she squeaks back engulfing me in a hug.
"When did this happen?" She inquires

"Last week..." I shrug knowing what's about to come next.

"And you are telling me now!....geez talk about sisterhood!" She glares at me. A few weeks ago if she had talked to me that way I would have degraded her to no ends, but lucky for her things have changed now.

"Candy It was too good to be true....I had to make sure that he meant it and now I do. He's made me so happy I have no reasons to doubt him.  All I wanna do is shout from the rooftops that Justine is my boyfriend" I say in a woolgathering voice.

"But still..."She shrugged her eye downcasted.

"Hey, I get it ok? I'll never hide anything from you again?" I say touching her shoulder.

"Anything?" She asks her eyes glimmering with mischief. I know she's up to something. I release a long sigh, "whatever it is you have in mind just let it out."

"Have you guys done it yet?" She asks me practically holding her breathe waiting for the answer.

"No candy, we haven't gotten to second base yet."

"Second base?"  She asks confused. Yup , he's definitely a newbie in relationship department.

As we enter the classroom my eyes first land on my ex-best friends. There haven't been any confrontations between us lately but the evil eyes they've been giving me lately are getting me worried.

Taking a seat I notice a white envelope on my desk, my blood stills. It's either paranoia is taking over my senses or my ex-best friends have striked again.

Seeing that our teacher hasn't arrived yet I gingerly open the envelop I can feel the blood screaming in my veins, every single hair on my body feels spiked I pause half way  . I have a feelin what's in here could possibly be a lethal bomb that's going to leave me shattered. I could just burn it later but that would somehow make me coward.

I rip open the letter and pull out what looks like pictures. My heartbeat stills as I view the graphic scene staring at me.

"What the actual  fuck..." I murmur.

My heart constricts in pain and I start feeling light headed. I feel suffocated and tears are threatening to flow.

I get up from my seat and fly out of the room faster than a jet.

"Justine adores me, he told me he won't pressure me to sleep with him in till am ready"  Jessica's  word replay in my head.

"What i feel for you is special"  Justine once said. It was all a lie...He was just toying with the both of us. When did this happen,  before or after we started dating?

Why did Jessica lie at first?

Things are happening too fast, one minute am out of the school compound the next minute am stopping a cab and shouting orders to the driver.

JUSTIN'S POV.

I handed over my  assignment to my friend vin and rushed to the changing rooms. What could've happened, Scarlett just called and she sounded so agitated and pretty much like her previous bitchy self. Did her mum strike again, because I sure as hell haven't done anything.

Coming out of the restrooms I find vin fixing the car I was repairing earlier.

"Thanks man I owe you one." I say patting his back.

"It's double shift for you tomorrow buddy." He says

"You can count on it!" I shout back as I head out.

I got off the car and rushed to my house only to find Scarlett in the living room, sitting on the floor rocking back and forth with her hands wrapped around herself....This is going to be one fucked up evening, heavens please prove me wrong.

"Scarlett baby what happened?" I rush to pull her up but she pushes me away.

"Dont call me that." Her voice is raspy and her eyes are puffy.

"What happened?"I ask taking a sit next to her.
"It was all a lie  wasn't it? Why would you do this?" She  asked as more tears trickle down her face.

Am at a loss.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't fucking play damn with me justine!" She said throwing a bunch of pictures at me. Pictures of me and Jessica making out in bed......naked. What the hell.

"Where did you get these?" I ask scrutinizing the pictures.

"That's all you care about, where I got the damn pictures?"She screams. Shit, I really don't know how to handle her when she's like this.

"Scarlett you need to calm down." I say in a low but authoritative voice.

"Calm down?  Don't fucking ask me to calm down you lied to me justine you made a fool of me.."

"So why are you here, you saw the pictures made your own conclusions. Tell me why are you here?" I shout back. She looks at me shocked.

Maybe that was uncalled for. She sits at the sofa, holds her head in her hands and starts sobbing.

"I have no idea how this came about but you have to believe me...didn't do this..This is not me." I say with a softer  tone.

"You must really think am stupid..."She says

"Well yeah, you just crumbled down over some cooked up lie..." I blurt out in exasperation.

She lifts her head and the look she gives me says I've gone too far.
"Scarlett am sorry I shouldn't have said that."

She picks her bag and walks to the door but I stop her before she opens it. "Let go of me!" She struggles to get out of my hold but am too strong.

"You need to calm down and listen to me. Scarlett I have never slept with jessy. I have no idea what's going on but you need to trust me. I wouldn't betray you like that!"

"Let go of me you pauper!  How can you speak of trust when there's evidence proving otherwise!" I immediately release her and Its  not because she's furiously pounding at my chest.

"Pauper? We are back to that now?"

"Call it whatever." She sneers and leaves. I stare blankly at the door.

What just happened? First  sight of trouble and we are back to being the  bitch and the pauper? Should I go after her? Should I explain myself  better?
