23. Heartbroken

Scarlett

We both sat down on the couch in silence. Dan came over, honestly not one of the faces I wanted to see right now.
I glanced up and lifted my head from Kyle's shoulder.

"Hey" I whispered as I rubbed my eyes.

Dan

I walked into Scarlett's apartment as Kyle had instructed me to.

"Hey" she whispered.

"Hi" I answered.

Kyle lead me off to the bathroom,

"What the hell did you want to tell me?" I asked,

"Dan, Ivan's gone. You need to help her. She's heartbroken, I hate seeing her in this state, just please do anything you can."

How did I not know? How have I been so ignorant?

I used to think that when people said they could feel their heart break that it was such bullshit but when Kyle delivered the news I could not just feel my heart breaking but I could also feel my lungs being crushed.

I grabbed Scarlett and pulled her into a hug, she's been through so much. She doesn't deserve this.

I can feel her shuddering sobs against my chest and I cant do anything but hold her. Her sobs start to escalate into hysterical cries for Ivan. They start to scare me.

"Scarlett! Scarlett! Shh it's going to be okay. Shh i'm here" I say above her cries and she clings onto me.

"Don't leave me Dan. Not ever." She manages to gasp out.

I cup her face between my hands and say "I will never ever leave your side Scar. Never ever, ever."

That manages to settle her down and I gently press my lips onto her forehead and she relaxes. Her skin was now pale, she has dark circles under eyes. I noticed that her beautiful grey eyes wouldn't sparkle and shine but instead be empty and dull. 

That her long luscious locks of hair would instead be short weak and brittle.

That her laugh wouldn't seem like an invitation to join but a terrifying warning to stay away.

But despite the upsetting and dark feelings shed have towards herself she still managed to fool everyone with her picture perfect looks.

I never would have imagined  her thoughts to be so sad when her appearance was so happy.

I can see how much this has destroyed her, it has sent her to hell.

I get a movie and put it on. She leans against me and we watch the movie in silence. Her breathing becomes more relaxed and slow. Soon she is asleep and so am I.

Scarlett

I waited until Dan was asleep before I got up. I almost fell back down on the couch because me legs had fallen asleep. I went straight to min and Ivan's old bedroom and grabbed out a scrapbook of photos. I see photos of me and him together everywhere. And then I see the one of me and him on our wedding day. We both had our foreheads pressed together and our hands were clasped together and placed on his chest.

I take it out and look at it closely. He looked healthy and happy. Oh why couldn't it have stayed that way? I start to put it back but then I see a letter. I pick it up and read it:

'Scar,

This was the best day of my life. And even though I am not here to live it out with you for the rest of my life, I want you to know that all I ever wanted to live for is you. Words cannot describe how I felt about you. But let me put it simply. There is no pretending that I love you Scarlett Ivy Peters, and I will love you until I die, and If there is life after that, I'll love you then.

Ivan xx'

My legs start to get wobbly again and I cry out. Dan comes flying in and he catches me before I hit the ground. I start to cry again and Dan consoles me until I drift into unconsciousness.
