*Scarlet's POV*
It had been a good three weeks since Robert had started talking to Ms. Lawrence. Seth and Robert were watching TV on the couch, I sat on the floor. It was just what I was used to.
"I gotta talk to you kids." Robert stated.
I looked up at Robert. "What's up Rob?" Seth replied.
"I'm taking Marie to dinner tonight."
"Wait what?!" Seth looked shocked.
"I'm talking her out. I asked her out yesterday and she agreed."
"I'm not staying home alone with Scar, am I?!"
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?!" I asked.
"Yeah Seth you are and Scarlet watch your mouth young lady!"
"I-I'm sorry," I said in a hushed tone.
"Scarlet," he said calmly, standing up and coming toward me.
"I'm sorry! I'm really really sorry!" I cried out.
"Shhh Scarlet you're okay." Robert replied.
A tear fell from my eye. "I didn't mean to act up. I'm sorry."
"Scarlet you felt offended. I'm glad you stood up for yourself." He replied to me. I nodded. "Remember, don't be scared. We won't do what those people did. We won't hurt you." Robert said to me.
"I-I know."
"Then why are you still acting like this?!" Seth jumped to his feet. I got up too.
"Fuck off!" I snapped.
"You just want attention!"
"No I don't!"
"Fuck you don't!"
"I actually don't. Shut the fuck up Seth!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Knock it off you two!" Robert said, getting in the middle of us. "To your rooms until I get back from my date, understand?"
"Yeah," Seth said. I nodded.
***********************************
"I'm home!" I heard Robert yell happily from downstairs. I ran down. Seth was already downstairs.
"How was it?" He asked.
"Great!" Robert replied happily.
"I-I'm sorry about earlier..." I said quietly.
"It's okay Scarlet," Robert said with a smile.
