Disclaimer: I woke up in the morning and thought that I was him. I look at the mirror and I realised that I was hallucinating. I am not the awesome Anthony Horowitz.
Scott was dead.
Jamie realised that well enough, he understood it well. Scott, his brother, was dead.
Flint was there, next to Jamie. And Jamie was really glad to have him by his side but he still missed Scott; he yearned for the love, the smile, the presence of his brother. The tears had dried up in his eyes. He did not cry, not anymore. Flint kneeled down next to him and took him in an embrace. However, Jamie did not return it. His body was limp, his eyes unfocused.
"Jamie…" Flint said.
Jamie turned to look at him. How much did Flint resemble Scott! Even his emotions found their way on his face in the same way. But Jamie sighed. Flint was his brother from the past. But he was not Scott. He could not be Scott. Scott was history.
The thought made him feel heavy. His eyes were aching. His heart was beating too fast against his chest.
"I'll come in a while, Flint. I want to take a walk…" Jamie said and then walked away. Flint's eyes lingered on him for a while, but he made no attempt to follow him.
When Jamie was hidden away from the sight of the others he collapsed on the snowy ground. His eyes stared at the sky as he thought about Scott.
"Punishing yourself won't bring Scott back."
Jamie raised his head to look at Scarlett. She sat down next to him.
"You don't know how it feels," Jamie said.
"Actually, I do. I lost my father only recently. I lost Aidan. I lost my mother. I lost my life. I lost my friends," Scarlett said quietly.
"So what should I do?" Jamie asked. He felt broken. But he was glad to see Scarlett. The sight of her had produced heat in his body. He did not feel as down as he did a couple of minutes ago.
"Try to relax. We have lost everything. But we have each other," Scarlett said. Her cheeks were bright red. Jamie knew that even his cheeks were as red as hers.
"You know, ever since I met you in the temple in Hong Kong, I liked you," Scarlett admitted and blushed even deeper. Jamie blushed too.
"You know what we both need?" Scarlett asked.
Jamie shook his head.
She turned to face him.
"We need love."
With that she pressed her lips against his. He hesitated for a while then kissed her back and deepened it. His fingers traced her arms, her back. He cupped her face and they pulled away.
Jamie kissed her forehead lightly. Scarlett closed her eyes at his touch. Jamie looked at the girl and smiled. He always knew he loved her, but it was only now that he admitted it. He claimed her lips again and she kissed him back.
He needed love and he still had it. Maybe not the way Scott would give him, but this feeling of love was also beautiful.
The feeling of her lips was very beautiful.
I know, weird couple. But I love them. However I pair them differently too. This is my first PO5 story so please review. Yeah!
