Let go

What is easier letting go or holding on?

"Umh what you doing here" Scarlett's own voice trembled as she spoke her head buried in her lap that night."I felt like you needed me" the voice said motioning to hold her "So you flew all the way from Arizona just because you thought I needed you?" "and because we just moved back here" Scarlett cringed as she heard those words a year ago she would've been over joyed but now she couldn't care less."I don't need you"Scarlett hissed" "Scar be mad at me later lemme hold you"."No go away!" "Please" his voice sounded sad and desperate she wondered how long it's been since she heard it.It was the same voice she had fallen for two summers ago.As soon as she let her guard down he grabbed her full force, Scarlett rested her head on his chest.She weeped into his Calvin Klein sweat shirt that smelled like lemon peppermint cologne.She knew it was his personal favorite it felt good to be in his arms again.She spent her days and nights longing for this moment wishing for his arms to be around her this is exactly how she imagined it just without the tears.

After an hour or so when Scarlett felt alright the two of them decided to join the rest of her guests.She was overwhelmed by his presence yet she was still confused and frustrated with it too."Flinn!" Max Scarlett's best friend yelled across the room "you on vacation,?back from Arizona?" he asked walking towards her and Flinn."No I'm actually here to stay" "oh" Max replied nonchalantly.Max and Flinn were mates once until he moved to Arizona and broke his best friend's heart.Scarlett didn't know what they were now since Max often bad mouthed Flinn during his disappearance.Max noticed Scarlett's puffed up cheeks and swollen eyes he knew she had been crying.He put'd his hands on her shoulders "You okay?" "Yeah".He felt sorry that he couldn't make it to her father's funeral he was forced to attend an important soccer game that day.He wanted to be there for her just like he always had but someone was already there.Flinn had stayed at Scarlett's side all night around, she enjoyed him being there even if the day had not been meant for enjoying .Her Dad had died but he had come back just like he said he would.
