Scarlett
The punch hit my nose and some of my lip. You know that feeling right after the punch where you feel so weak for a second?
Well that's the exact opposite that I felt right now.
The anger boiled up inside of me. Who is she to punch me right after I fell on my face?
"Rose! What is wrong with you? Can't you-"
"Ashton. It's fine." I looked at him firmly. He was going to speak but then, obediently declined his thought.
"Look at me." My voice was firm, but shaking only a bit. "I'm no monster. I didn't choose to fall for Ashton. But...I'm glad I did." I looked at Ash to see his warm deep blue eyes perfectly meeting mine.
"And I'm not pretty. Nor am I perfect. Or identical to all the people in this town." My voice trembled. "I'm just a girl! A girl who'll do anything and everything for the man I love! You..."
At this point tears were coming down my eyes.
Why am I crying?
"You broke him! You broke him, Rose!" I think it was at that point that I realize what love really meant.
"Love is picking up the pieces of ones heart when they are already shattered! Love is being patient and understanding of his problems! Love is crying with them when life happens...Love....is the exact opposite of you!"
She was astonished of the words coming out of my mouth. Honestly, I was, too.
"So who are you to walk in here and take him away from me! The one who is there and will always be there for him when he needs it and when he doesn't!"
Through my tears and blood, the anger burned throughout me.
My arm, as if thinking itself, punched her. Hard.
No one expected it...not even my own self.
"Here. You'll need it more than I do." I gave her my ice pack and wiped the blood trailing down my nose.
Noticing the scene and the silence, reality struck me and like any human, I ran away.
Up into the dreadful loneliness of the dark guest room.

Ashton
Scarlett was hurting.
And I was too dumb to notice.
All because of the lingering question in my head, bothering me all day: Why is she here? Why did she come back?
I shook my head and came back down to Earth and tried to make sense of everything.
I felt like it all happened too fast before my eyes.
"She has a point. Rose, from the second I said had a girlfriend, you should've left. Actually, you should have never came." I told her the harsh truth. She had to hear it so she would never come back.
"Well, I could've tried, Ash. And I did." She answered as soon as I asked, as if she was prepared for the question in months of time.
"Well you failed. You shouldn't have come here. Why did you even bother?-"
"Because Drake cheated on me." She kept her eyes trained on the floor, too embarrassed to look up.
Drake? My favorite cousin...why?
"I'm sorry..." I whispered, not finding the right words to say.
A part of me is feeling sympathetic but the other is just happy that she got a taste of her own medicine.
"Well, really we were cheating on each other, but he started it first!"
I knew there was a catch.
"Rose..."
"But I only cheated once!-"
"Rose!" That caught her attention. "Just leave."
I didn't look at her as she grabbed her things and left.
Wait... Scarlett.

Scarlett
You're violent.
One tear.
Your violent and your cruel because your not sorry for giving her what she deserves.
Five tears.
You made a mistake though it feels like victory. Who are you?
Eight tears.
The voices in my head kept picking me up and dropping me. As if I was meant to be dropped.
You are!
"That's it!" I screamed.
I heard someone trying to pick the lock on the door. Later, someone walked in.
"Scarlett...my beautiful Scarlett." Ashton sat next to me and put the tissues on his lap.
"Star Globe. Few days ago. You said 'I never thought I was pretty. But with you, I feel beautiful.'"
I looked at the floor in remembrance.
"Now Scarlett, you might not see what I see. And maybe I am delusional, but call me whatever you want." He lifted my chin up.
"Because in that room, where Rose was trying to throw herself on me." He paused. "I was thinking of how to get her out of here. I was thinking of how to make you smile. I miss your smile." He chuckled.
"I miss your warm kisses that make me feel so cool. I want you to smile, laugh and do your crazy twirls that end up knocking everything over."
"But most importantly..." His voice turned deep and raspy. "I want you to love..." He looked at my lips and licked his. "Me."
I looked deeply into his eyes and he cleared them for me.
There was such desperation and vulnerability in them. His deep blue eyes closed and when our lips connected, it felt like an oceans cool wave.
I think I made it clear that Ashton is mine.
And I am his.
Bye bye Rose.
