who is she?

please stay

Isaac's P.O.V.
"They said they're gonna be gone until after New Years. I'm gonna be alone!" Scarlett complains about her parents going away for vacation during this winter break. "You won't be alone" I place my hand on her back assuring her. A slight smile appears on her face. I couldn't help but look at her lips and back at her eyes. I was so caught up, in whatever this was. A weird feeling, honestly. What was it? It wasn't a crush. A crush is like just someone you find attractive but not really know them. Scarlett was always attractive but now it's so much more to her, that I'm into.

When we dated over the summer, I did feel something. But now it's more intense, I just couldn't explain it. My heart immensely pounding when I hear that laugh of hers. Even when she fell asleep in my arms the other night, I didn't want to let her go. When Chris told me I was in love with her, I just thought we were exaggerating there. But what if I actually was?

Is this how it feels? Like I thought being in love was supposed to feel good? Don't get me wrong, this is the best and happiest I've felt in a while. But I also felt nervous, like I was gonna screw something up.

"Isaac?" Her voice dragging me away from my thoughts. "Huh?"

"You okay?" She chuckles. "Yeah, just a bit tired" I lied. No I'm not okay, I'm completely in love with you. She nods her head. It's honestly for the best that nothing happened between us because there were issues the last time. It took so long to be able to have the same friendship again after being in a relationship.

Chris, Nolan, and Michael walk up to where Scarlett and I were sitting in the park. Chris had a basketball in his hand. Nolan's black eye still hasn't went away from when I punched him. I felt bad. He was obviously messing with me, but anyone that puts Scarlett's name in their mouth to talk about her the way he did, I won't accept it. I did forgive him though.

Scarlett and I talked to the boys for a while until they returned to their basketball match. "What happened to his eye?" She refers to Nolan. "He just pissed some guy off this week with his immaturity" I slightly lie. She raises her eyebrows in a shocked expression. She looks down at the ground with a sigh escaping her mouth. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I just can't believe I'm gonna be home alone tonight, I'm going to feel so lonely and just scared. I'm not used to it. Well, I am...but not at night." She explains. An idea pops up in my head. "Spend the night with me" I suggest. She furrowed her eyebrows. Based on her facial expression, she clearly thought it wasn't a good idea. "Don't worry, I won't spoon you. I will be sleeping on the floor." She then smiled in response to my suggestion.

"Fine." She accepts and grabs her stuff to start heading home, while I join the boys in basketball. "I'll see you later" she waved. I waved back.

. . .

The knock on my door suspected it was Scarlett. "Hey" I smirk purposely just cause I know it makes her feel some type of way. She smiles and walks in. "I just can't stand my brother" Scarlett begins to complain once again. "Why"

"Because! He's a jerk! All I wanted was to spend just a little time with him for a day, but 'nooo, he wants to spend time with his girlfriend', she hysterically mocks him. I start to laugh, her imitation was adorable. I'm crazy over this girl. "Anyways, it's been a long day. Entertain me Russel." Did she just call me by my last name? Why did I kinda like it?

. . .

We finished playing on my PlayStation. I was surprised Scarlett was willing to play video games with me. It made me more attracted to her. Jenna never wanted to play video games with me. It was always what she wanted. But with me and Scar, we just managed to have fun whatsoever.

"Oh my god, it's 12 A.M." Scarlett looks at the direction of the clock. I turn off the gaming console, and began to set up the couch for me to sleep in. Scarlett heads up to my room, and gets ready for bed.

As soon as she gets comfortable, she looks intensely at me, as if she's admiring my presence. "Uh...do you want any water or anything?" I offer.

"No I'm okay, thank you though" she smiles. I nod my head and decided to go and sleep in the couch already, I grabbed my phone from the desk next to my bed until a touch catches my attention. "Isaac, wait." Scarlett grabs my hand stopping me from leaving my room. "Uh yeah?" I look at her. Her hand holding mine begins to give me goosebumps all over my body, and butterflies in my chest.

"Please stay."

"What?"

"Yeah, sleep next to me, it's okay. Just...please. Please stay." I couldn't resist, that voice, that mesmerizing face. I nod and she releases my hand, I walked over to the door to close it. I slowly walk up to her, I can see how nervous she started to get, it was like I can feel her anxiety as well, especially in this moment.

I got under the covers, but still tried to keep my distance from her. Her dark brown eyes were glowing as she was looking at me. I was falling deeper, the more I drowned in those eyes. We kept staring at each other, until she smiled. I noticed the small dimple forming on her left cheek. Another thing I was in love with.

"Thank you."

"For?" I question.

"Just...thank you" she shrugs her shoulders.

I smile back in response. Before we knew it, we fell asleep while locking eyes. She then moves closer to me and rests her head on my chest. I pick up my arm and place it behind her head. We began to fall asleep in each other's arms...again.

I then came to the conclusion. I actually am in love with Scarlett Hughes.
