[INCOMPLETE] Scarlett Jenson is one complicated girl. Nobody can understand her in the way she wants to be understood, and that gives her a hard time opening up to others. Plus being different, she often feel like an outcast at her school.

But being different from everyone else is what caught a specific boys attention - James Crawford. 

This popular boy can't help but be intoxicated by her beauty and mysterious personality, and with Scarlett being shy and closed in, she tries to escape his charm. But eventually, James breaks her walls and endures her chaos and Scarlett tries to fight it until his love consumes her whole.
-------
His soft hand cupped the side of my face, but feeling flustered at his touch, I pushed him away.

"Don't." I warned James who stood farther away, dumbfounded at my gesture.

"Why?"

"I just...I don't understand you, James," I finally admitted. I couldn't figure him out, and that terrified me.

"You don't understand? It's quite simple, really. I lo-''

"No! Don't say it. Please...don't." If he says it, everything changes. All these emotions I've tried so hard to push away would all come back and haunt me. I can't feel this way.

But he ignored my pleas.

Once again he cupped the side of my face, but for some reason I didn't stop him. 

James gently kissed my forehead. "I love you, Scarlett." 

Those four words and the empires I built to protect me from getting hurt, in a matter of seconds, started to crumble.

Scared that someone will remember who she used to be. ~•~ Now I know I seem like a bitch, and your probably thinking I'm your stereotypical mean girl, but I wasn't always like this, back when high school first started. I had a best friend who I thought I would be friends with forever. I was shy and timid, and I was foolish enough to believe what people told me. Back then everyone knew me as Arora. After the incident I decided to stop going by my first name, I had also learned that being mean, and not taking anything form anyone was the only way to get people to treat you with respect. ~•~ Arora Fisher: the girl most people didn't notice until they needed help with homework, the girl who was voted most likely to disappear and no one would notice. The girl who her believed in the good in others, who wanted to just give people a chance, no matter how many red flags. The girl who was lost to tragedy. ~•~ "We'll be broken together."

I whisper, after that we sit there, in an empty silence, neither of us wanting to be the first one to speak again, because it feels off, like the sound of our own voices might somehow break our hearts more.

He turns me over and pins me to the showcase as my palms are placed on the glass of the shower cabin, with my back pressed against his chest. "Where were you, last night?" he says as he begins to suck on my back. "I- I was over at a friend's place." I say as I try to retain my moan. "Oh yeah? Which friend?" he asks as he sucks at another spot a bit lower down my back. [ The mature chapters are private. Follow me to read them.

~Completed~ "Why are you being so shy?" He whispered. "I've seen, kissed, tasted every inch of your body. There is nothing to hide." I averted my eyes feeling heat in my cheeks and hoping that he could not feel it under his fingers. He made a frustrated noise then ducked down and pressed a kiss to the base of my jaw. The fingers previously on my cheek were now tilting my head back. "Scarlett Summer," he said into my ear, "sometimes you are the most infuriating person I have ever met." "I'm sorry." I whispered. "God, why are you apologizing? It is me who should be sorry for all of the unspeakable thoughts in my mind pertaining to you. You know I was not kidding when I said I was a dominating person. I know you've experienced it first-hand. I'm too rough with you I know that. You're just so, so breakable." He whispered the last part in my ear with so much behind it. "Sometimes I think I want to break you. Just shatter you into tiny pieces." His voice was shaky as he made his confession. "Do it then." I challenged with guile, devoid of self-preservation. ********************************************************************************* Scarlett has got some issues to say the least. She lives her life in her past and she is always waiting to die. There are a few things she enjoys, like her family, but even they are a compilation of bad memories and sore spots of her past. Roman enters her life through her brother-in-law, and also ex-boyfriend, and forces just about everything to change. Love is the last she wanted. ********************************************************************************* There are some mature or triggering themes. Please be cautious and look at my tags to ensure that you are comfortable with the content. Much love xoxo -Lyse
