❝ ARE THEY ABOUT ME? ❞
⋆｡˚ ✩
"Can we talk?" Tom scratched his neck, and Scarlett felt herself shake even more. She couldn't stand another arguement and period of separation from him.
"What about, Tommy?" Scarlett took her microphone off, giving it to a runner backstage.
"I think we should talk about your songs," Tom starts, and Scarlett notices his hands wringing together in anxiety. "but I don't want to argue Scar-"
"We won't." She smiles gently, placing her hands on Tom's forearm, reassuring him silently.
"Are they about me? Because I know we shouldn't listen to what we see on the internet but, I can't help but just, believe it, you know?" Tom stuttered, his hands flailing around his face in a bid to calm himself down.
Scarlett's reply all weighed on the path this conversation went to: either Tom was going to tell her, or he was going to support her as his best friend.
"Tom- I swear! Those songs aren't about you. You know me, its that creative streak in me that sparks. I love you, but I assure you, not in that way." Scarlett says slow, biting her lip and looking down on the ground.
Why was she suddenly once again convincing herself that she really doesn't love Tom? She doesn't, and neither does he, move on.
Tom sighed silently, frowning at Scarlett's answer, but quickly picked himself back up again, giving his friend a hug.
"That's fine! That's all I wanted to know, the truth."
That made Scarlett gulp and encapsulate her in a wave of guilt. Maybe deep down, she loved him. But she was planning on loving Theo so hard, that Tom would be out of peace and mind.
She was going to stick to the plan.
"Let's go win you some awards, eh?" Tom flung an arm around Scarlett's shoulder as they walked back out to the audience to find their seat.
