Chapter 15
His eyes slowly turned red again, I would feel a lot better if I didn't know that... he smiled and took my hands in his.
"I understand that all of this may be a shock to you, but I think you're the one, the Scarlet I have spent years looking for... Scarlet, I love you" he looked at me, his emotions were changing too quick for me, I couldn't deal with all of this.
I snatched my hands out of his and shuffled away from him, "Where are my clothes?" I whispered. "What?" he asked, "I am leaving, now where are my clothes?" I had to leave, I wanted to leave, I knew too much now. "There in the kitchen, but your shirt and cardigan has blood on it" he said looking at the ground angrily. I walked to the kitchen; Henry was in their putting plates in to a dishwasher,
"Excuse me Henry, where are my clothes?"
"Oh, umm, over there, I guess you're leaving now"
"Yes, thank you and good bye"
"Err, bye Scarlet"
I walked towards the front door; I reached out to the door handle when Alexander's hand grabbed my arm tight. I tried to shake my arm free but he was to strong. "At least let us get the blood out of your clothes so you won't have to explain to your parents" he muttered. I relaxed my arm and pushed my clothes towards him. He took them from me and went back in to the kitchen.
I walked to the bathroom opposite; I locked to door and looked at myself in the mirror, not exactly the way I wanted to look with the boy who loves me. I tried to flatten my 'bed head' hair and wipe off the mascara stains from my cheeks.
When I finished making myself look more presentable I unlocked to door and opened it to see Alexander standing their trying to look welcoming. I walked past him into the kitchen where Henry was still putting things in to a dishwasher, "Can I get you anything Scarlet?" he asked, "Just a glass of water please". He got a glass from a cabinet and filled it with water from the tap over the sink; then passed it to me, "Thanks".
Alexander came in looking annoyed, I didn't want to still be here, but I also didn't want Alexander to get angry again. Henry looked uncomfortable, "I should leave you two alone", "No!" we both shouted.
This was equally awkward for all of us.
