who is she?

continue where we left off

Scarlett's P.O.V.
Weeks gone by and Isaac and I are slowly regaining our friendship back, and I love it. Jenna is an obstacle but I just ignore her, and Isaac seems like he doesn't even want to be with her. Anyways first semester is almost ending and I have to study for finals.

"Scarlett, someone's at the door! Go get it" my mom yells from upstairs, I run out of the garage and quickly got to my living room, and opened the door and saw Isaac.

"Hey stranger" he smirks. "Hi loser" I smirk back. I kind of tease him now, like I'm mean to him most of the times only because I kind of still hate him for what happened between us but I'm also trying hard not to punch him in the face.

We headed upstairs and decided to study for finals. We were up in my room and I had this weird feeling of nostalgia, it felt like junior year again, with me and him studying here. "This reminds me of...n-nevermind" I regret talking immediately. "I know...same" he stares into my eyes. I quickly look back at my textbook, continuing to write on my flash cards.

"How's Jenna?" I ask putting us in even more an awkward position. Come on Scarlett, can't you just keep your mouth shut?!

"Uh...We...just been...fighting...like a lot." He says in a tone as if he doesn't really want to talk about it. "Oh okay, you don't have to talk about it if you don't wan-"

"It's just that I don't feel like we're in a relationship, it feels more like friends with benefits, no cross that, enemies with benefits" Isaac cuts me off. I close my textbook just letting him continue to rant to me. He begins to tell me about his girlfriend problems. "I just love her you know?"

I felt a drop in my heart as he says that. I know I said I'm over him but we got closer again and my feelings for him are slowly developing again. "Uh..." I nervously laugh not knowing how to respond. I keep thinking about what to even say to him. Cmon Scarlett don't let him think you're jealous!

"You know, Isaac, I really think you should talk to her and not me about this, because I don't think she would want you telling other girls your relationship problems, especially me" I tell him. "You guys are lacking communication" I continue.

"It's not love, no offense, it's all lust. You don't love her, you never did, you love the idea of her, okay? Because she was there for you, during all your dark times with your daddy issues, even though giving you drugs and sex isn't technically 'being there for you', she was the only female in your life and you automatically assumed that you're in love" oh shit I did not just say that she was the only female in his life, that's too harsh, what is wrong with me?! I noticed a little hurt in his face, and I immediately regretted my choice of words. "I'm sorry Isaac, I didn't mean to say that" I apologize grabbing his hand. "No it's okay, you're right. What do I do?" He asks for advice.

"You tell me" I try to hint at him to basically break up with her. He looks confused and just upset. So an idea pops up in my head. "Get up" I stand up for my seat reaching out my hand for him to grab. "What?"

"Just get up!" I yell, he stands up helplessly. "Okay okay sheesh"

"Wear your jacket" I demand. "Where are we going?" He asks. I ignore his question, and I let my mom know that we were going to come back in an hour. "Seriously Scar, where are we going?" Aww he called me Scar, he hasn't called me that since we broke up. "Just relax"

I started to drive. Before I knew it, we arrived to our destination. It was a familiar place. The view that he first took me to, last year. "Oh, why here?"

"Because, I brought you here to get your mind off of stuff, so we can go back and have a refreshed brain to study together, we don't need anything distracting us from finals" I explain. He shrugs his shoulders showing that I made a good point. He sits on the table of the bench, looking at the view. He starts to pull out the thing that helps him cope, his weed. "Nope" I forcefully take it out of his hand and started to stomp on it. "What the fuck?"

"You're addicted, this is the only way you cope with things, it's wrong" I lecture him. "So you just decided to waste it?"

"Yes! This is why you and Jenna aren't good together, she encourages these bad habits, and you like that, you never understand what's good for you" I argue. "Maybe because the good things always leave me!" He refers to me. "They then come back too!"

He keeps his mouth shut from there. We have a couple minutes of silence looking at the view. He then holds my hand, and I felt my heart beating so fast, and actual butterflies in my chest. He looks at me then smiles. "Thank you" he comes closer and gives a peck on my cheek. I blushed. Our lips were so close, his lips begin to move closer to mine. I then back up, not letting him kiss me. "We can't" I remind him because he would be technically cheating on Jenna. And because we want to only stay as friends.

"Yeah sorry you're right"

I rest my head on his shoulder and he puts his head on my head. We begin to stare at the view, enjoying our friendship even though I still have feelings for him. Uh oh I still have feelings for him.

HEY GUYS! Quarantine is boring! But I hope you guys are using this as time to spend with your family, just be grateful and stay safe. Also I will try to update a lot more.
