Sweet Little Nothing [Lea Michele teenfiction]

Chapter 3: Scarlett gets a sibling

"So let me get this straight. You adopted a pigeon as a pet.", said Lorrie.

"Yes.."

        Lorrie didn't know what to say. She hadn't heard of anything similar. That was the weirdest thing Scarlett had ever done. She opened her mouth to say something,  but nothing came out. Then she opened it again. "What is wrong with you?!?!", Lorrie finally shouted.

"Come on Lorrie. You know how I have always wanted a little pet to play with and to keep me company while I'm alone at home."

"Please describe to me how you are going to play with a pigeon."

The school break had ended and they had to go back to their classes.

Later, when Theodore and Scarlett were talking, Scarlett told him the story.

"What kind of pet shop sells a pigeon!?", he asked amused.

"Stop making fun of me!"

"I mean really. This is kind of crazy Scar. And weird.. Actually, stop talking to me, I'm scared.."

"Shut it, Theo! Come on let's go for a walk. It's getting hot here." She stood up and walked towards somewhere that couldn't be seen by the sun.Theodore was walking behind her and she had completely forgot about her leg and he saw her limping.

"Scar! Wait for me.", he said and ran to reach her. "What is wrong with your leg?", he asked and then he saw the wound. "Scarlett, what happened?", he asked concerned.

"Oh yea, about that. I forgot to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I forgot my keys yesterday and when I went back home I couldn't get in. So i pretended to be a ninja and climbed through the window. Apparently my knee hit something and I got this beautiful wound on it.", she said giggling.

Theodore then turned his look on her arm and saw the mark that Victor had left on it. "And that came from the climb too?", he asked curious.

"That? No. It has nothing to do with the climb."

"What made that to you? Or should I ask who made that to you?", he asked staring in her eyes.

"Nobody did. Theo stop looking at me like that. You are freaking me out."

        That moment a crazy idea passed through Theodore's mind. Did Victor cause this to her?, he thought. That would be impossible, when did he do that? But wait a minute. He grabbed her from the hand the other day. "Scar, I'm gonna ask you a question and I want you to answer to me with a yes or a no. Did Victor do this to you?"

"Come on Theo, forget about it. I'm fine now and it doesn't even hurt."

"A yes or a no Scarlett.", he said briskly, looking deeply in her eyes.

         She paused for a second. She didn't want to say anything, because she knew that Theodore would make a huge deal out of it. Theo took her from her shoulders and shook her. "Yes..", she finally answered softly, hoping he would stay calm.

"I'm going to kill him.", he whispered. The plan worked. , she thought. He remained calm. "I'm going to kill him!!", he then yelled. Nop.. Failed., She thought again. "Where is he? Where is he?!", he asked furious.

"Theo, calm down! It's nothing!", then she took his face and looked deeply in his eyes. "Look at me", she said."I want you to calm down and sit right here, on the bench.", and she pointed the bench that was near them. "It's okay, I can handle it by myself."
