IRREVERSIBLE

CHAPTER 16

Justine's pov

It's been four days since I last spoke to Scarlett. We have never gone that long without each other even when we were fighting. What could possibly have happened. I've lost count on amount of times I've tried to call her, the   voice  and text messages I've sent her. Why is she ignoring me, did I do something wrong?

I've relived the last moments we shared together a million times trying to think of anything wrong I might have done but there's nothing except how restless she seemed the morning after.

She swore to me she was fucking fine but I guess she lied. Did she regret spending the night with me? It was the second time we made love and she was fine with it the first time what could have changed. I wait by her school entrance for her to come out.

I have to see her today or else I'll lose my mind.

After a few minutes of twiddling my thumbs I finally see her walking out. I quickly  jump out of my car and rush to her.

"Scarlett..." I desperately call out for her. She turns towards my direction. Her whole body tenses then she speeds towards her car.

"Scarlett stop, what's going on? Why are you avoiding me." I chase after her and grab her by the arm.

"Let go of me Justine." She says her voice feeble and weak. What the hell happened to her.

"Jesus Scarlett, what's wrong. I have missed you so much, why the hell are you avoiding."

She finally looks at me and I see sadness written all over face.  She shuts her eyes and steps back.

"Scarlett?"

"Stay away from me justine, I don't want see you again. We are done." She turns to open the passenger door.

"What are you saying Scarlett. You don't make any sense. Stop running." I pull her out of the car.

"Young man you are gonna have to let go of the lady." Her old driver steps in between us shoving me aside.

"I just need a minute to talk to her."

"Justine stop this now. I don't like you anymore and I want nothing to do you  don't you understand? Just leave me alone because to you I never existed. Whatever feelings I had for you are gone so please just leave me alone." She yells at me and I feel the world shuttering around me. She gets back into the car and they drive off.

I watch as her car disappears into the streets while her words echo in my mind.  Did she just break up with me? What the fucking hell just happened.

No, something's definitely going on. Nobody changes like that over night. I have to see her again no matter what. I have to find a way to talk to her privately.

Later that evening I call her house hoping Mariah her housekeeper picks it.

"Lizzy amor's residence how may I help you?" Am relieved when she answers the call.

"Hi Mariah it's me, Justine. I need to speak to Scarlett urgently please." She goes  silent and for a moment I think that maybe she hung up.

"Hello? Mariah." I prode.

"Ms Scarlett doesn't want to talk to you, so please stop bothering her."

"What? Mariah its me Justine I just need a minute."

"If you keep on pushing she'll get a restraining order against you. So i suggest you leave her be." She says curtly then hungs up the phone.

I am shocked to the core. Mariah sounded cold and distant unlike the last time I talked to her. There has to be a logical explanation for this. How do i get through to Scarlett.
