Wait a minute....

Chapter 10: Interviews

Scarlett's POV
We are on our way to interviews and I am so nervous. It's not like I haven't done these before. I shouldn't be this nervous. Chris was sitting next to me in the car. I could really use his hug right now. But I have to remember I can't send mix feelings. We will talk later. It is awkward between us right now. I especially feel uncomfortable right now because we are all squeezed pretty tight in the car. I was fidgeting a lot and my hands were shaking. I was looking out the window trying to avoid eye contact with Chris. I suddenly feel his hand touch mine. He holds it there for a minute.
"Don't be nervous. You are going to be okay." He whispered in my ear. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. His hand was still holding mine. He squeezed it a little bit tighter when he realized how nervous I was. He really knew how to calm me down. He felt me calm down. I looked at him with a small smile. All I could think about is happiness. I thought about what Cobie said and had to decide if I want to be happy. If I deserve to be happy.
"Thank you." I said with a small smile. He smiled back.
"Anytime." He said. I let my hand go and realized we were here. I was so happy to get out of the car. It was so tight in there. We walked to the building and saw fans screaming at us.
"I know. I know. You all came to see me." Robert said. Everyone laughed at his words.
It was a bit overwhelming. I just took it all in and saw Chris glance at me from a distance. He mouthed "you got this". I smiled and mouthed "thank you. You too." He smiled back and we both broke eye contact. We went on with interview day. Let's get it!

Chris' POV
Interviews today went pretty well. Every now and then I would glance at Scarlett and see her killing it as always. She looked so much more confident. I was proud of her. The only thing was Emily was being a little clingy. I mean, it's not that I don't like her, it's just I am in love with Scarlett and she can't seem to quite understand. I let her be next to me only because I knew she felt a little displaced in the group. She said that she learned a lot from me, so I took it as a compliment.

After all the interviews, we all went back to the hotel. Dinner tonight was room service. We were all exhausted from the day and decided we didn't want to go out. The Russo brothers said that's okay. I was actually really nervous right now. My talk with Scarlett was coming up and I didn't know what to expect. She was sending mix emotions, mostly avoiding me today. I don't think I can prepare myself for what she might say. I don't know how to feel.

We get back to the hotel and I catch up to Scarlett and grab her arm.
"When do you want to talk?" I asked concerned.
"Ummm.....maybe give me 10 minutes. Meet me in my room." She said. I nodded and we went out separate ways. I went in my room and changed into some black sweatpants pants and a gray t-shirt. I was counting down each minute. I was almost sweating and I was breathing nervously. I hope she says that she wants me too. I can't live without her. I need her. She means the world to me and I can't let her slip away from me. As soon as 10 minutes hit, I was headed towards her room. I knocked on the door. Here we go.

Scarlett's POV
I had to talk to Chris. I think I'm ready. I told him to meet me in my room in 10 minutes. I went to my room and changed into a beige champion hoodie and black spandex. Then I put my hair into a messy bun. I waited until Chris came. I know what I was about to say, would affect our friendship. I don't know how he is going to react. I hope he understands. I hear a knock at the door. I took a deep breath.
"Here goes nothing." I whispered to myself.
I opened the door and there he was.

Sorry for the late update. Thanksgiving break is over so school is back. I will try to update everyday. If not, every 2-3 days. Thanks for understanding!
