Shanes POV
I found out alot about Scar, we decided it would be best if she stayed over night at mine so she could resolve things with my brother and explain things to me.
It turns out that girI I considered weird, loud but amazing and intelligant hadn't always been miss popular. Guys had pretended to date her as a joke or dare, girls had beaten and spat at her and she had nobody to listen since her mother died when she was born and her father was busy at work.
But the most painful thing to know is that Scarlett Haze used to be Lucinda Pond. Lucinda Pond was the girl who was beaten and tormented and even my brother was too much of a coward to help, he went to boarding school there, she had lots of stress and eventually just wanted to die, she was a talented writer, actress and artist, but then it all became too much she stopped writing, drawing and caring. And she died.
Lucinda Pond died.
Scar- "My heart was so very weak from stress, that it begun to die, I did'nt notice or I just didn't care and soon enough I needed a transplant, I was raced to the top of the transplant list, never did drugs, never abused alochol and was not a violent person. So I received a heart transplant. The heart given to me was from a girl who had died in a car crash with her boyfriend, she was an amazing singer, her name was Scarlett Haze. Dad let me change my name and I thus I was reborn as Scarlett. A new person. For my dad it was the worst time of his life but for me, it was a new chapter a new beginning, A new life to be somebody I wanted. Lucinda Pond died and Scarlett Haze was born."
Dan- "The girls at my school were attention craving bitches and I was the most popular guy at school- Shane roll your eyes again and I'll hit you. Anyway, when my mates dared me to date Lucinda and not tell the girls about it, so I did it and they were jealous, angry and vengful. You see I'm the reason any of this happened, if I just said no told them to shove it- but thats not the point. I noticed Lucy being bullied after the second week of our dating, the guys had said I could call it off but I decided that I really likede her and didn't want to end it."
"So the guys begun to bully her too?" I asked with a coarse voice. He nodded.
"I walked into the school hallway and they were holding her down with a lighter at her face." Scarlett swallowed hard as if recalling this like she was there again, I took her hand and squeezed it, she gave me a ghostly smile back.
"Yes, I remember, I was going to class late to avoid them, they came around the corner and held me down. Then You came in."
"Scared them all away. But things got worse, the guys and girls began to threaten me saying if I didn't end things they would do worse abuse, eventually she began to get depressed, I tried to help and ridded of most of the attacks but they came more often, more frequent. I decided the day that they set her house in flames and the fire-fighters had to come, to give up. Well to me it was saving her not giving up but it was heart-breaking." Dan pushed his hair back with one hand and frowned. He only does this when he feels guilty, which I might add is not very often.
"I had no idea why they were bullying me and one day they chased me into the forest, well it wasn't really a forest, just the part of the school oval covered with tree's, they chased me and I climbed up a tree." Scar sat with her head facing down, so Dan took over.
"I had seen them chase her and I ran to help and I called her down and chased them away. But you see by that time hurting her wasn't to get back at me anymore, it was a game. A sick game." Dan crouched in front of Scar and held her gaze. "I left to get help. We had tried so hard to keep parents and teachers out of it so they wouldn't lash out at your dad our my family, but we needed help, there was too many of them, I couldn't fend them all off. But I could call the cops."
"Why did you leave me behind then?" Scarlett wasn't upset or angry, just curious and this shoked me.
"This going to sound awful. But evidence, I know it should have been the last thing on my mind but I had researched information on how it would go down if I called them, I needed strong, hard evidence. I set up my phone nearby, recording and then came back to help you. But you were passed out and the cops showed."
Scarlett looked suprised. She stood up and walked away a few paces.
"So they did get in trouble?"
"About four of them were sent to juuvy and two to community service, I have no idea about the rest. I was in hospital too." Dan said and I remembered the time my older bro was in hospital. He was beaten up badly and had a long cut along his left cheek. I visited every until he was better.
"Then you had your heart transplant and hope for a new life.' Scarlett frowned.
"Why didn't you tell me that? All this time I was so angry at you and you were just trying to help."
"Because I wanted you too have a new life. A new life where you wouldn't look at me and all you would feel is the fear from the old days. Because you deserved a fresh start."
"I deserved the truth." Scar blinked away her tears and I, who had stayed silent this entire time, pulled her into a hug. She would never be hurt again and that matters.

Dan stood up and pushed Shane away before grabbing me by my shoulders.
"You think I'm telling you all this now just to clear my name out your bad books or write some poetry about the past? This is all for a reason."
"Whats that?"
"Tammi, shes out, she knows where you are and shes even more of a phsyco, cept these days, she gets away with it."
"Tammi? Tammi Sholme? It's begun again isn't it?" I walked towards them and slung my arms around them.
"Well we have the three of us and Cynthia-"
"And Max." Max was Dan's best friend, he was brave, inappropriate, funny but most of all scary as hell to cross.
"Yes, that makes five of us, yes it has begun again. The game is back." Dan slapped me over the head.
"What are you queer?" Shane growls.
