Lincoln saw his girlfriends with two other guys, kissing. Lynn with the school jock, and Ronnie Anne with the school bad boy. Lincoln watched as he felt a twisting pain in his stomach and felt his heart ache. He couldn't believe they would cheat on him.

Then they all noticed him, and Lynn and Ronnie Anne looked at him.

Lynn: Oh hey Lincoln, enjoying the show?

Ronnie Anne: These two are way better kissers than you.

Lincoln: W-w...w-why?

Lynn and Ronnie Anne walked over to him.

Lynn: Because you are small compared to these guys.

Ronnie Anne: Not to mention I was only using you, why else would I not help you when you were being attacked?

Lynn: And I only helped you because I would've gotten in big trouble if I let you die in that fight at school.

He felt like his heart was being ripped apart, by every word they spoke. Lincoln looked down, clenching his fists tightly. He was trying to hold back his anger, to hold back the dark side of him. The dark side that everybody has within them, the evil side they try to hide.

He didn't know what he was feeling more, anger or sadness. Whichever one it was, it was telling him to run, to just run. It was building with every second he stood there. But he had it in control...until they said something that snapped him.

Ronnie Anne: I was only using you because you are popular, which in return, made me popular. So now you're useless to me. There was never an 'us', and there never will be.

Ronnie Anne: What?! No, shut up me! Why am I saying this?!

Lynn: You may be strong, but you're useless to everybody. You are nothing to everybody, why else would everybody never give you love? You aren't family, you are just a burden.

Lynn: No shut up! I can't loose him again! Why can't I move myself?!

Lincoln couldn't say anything, he didn't want to. He had to leave, before he hurt somebody. He had to run, to run before he did anything he might regret. So that's what he did, turned around, and ran as fast as he could.

Lincoln ran down the hall, knocking some people down. Then he ran through the dance floor, somehow not hitting anybody. But people saw tears in his eyes, which also showed anger, and regret.

People called out Lincoln's name, but he didn't listen, he just kept running. He ran past everybody, knocking whoever was in his way down. He bursted through the door and out the warehouse and kept running. Little did he know though, that there was a certain fox watching everything from the hidden camera she had secretly placed on his shoulder, and is now running after him in the shadows.

Back to Lynn and Ronnie Anne, who had just seen Lincoln leave the lounging room. They hated themselves for what they said to him, and they wanted to fix it. They had no idea it was a drug that made them do that. How could they know? To them, they had only drank water.

As if on cue, right as Lincoln ran out the room, the drug wore off. Without even a second of hesitation, they both ran as fast as they could to catch up to Lincoln as they shouted at him.

Lynn: Lincoln I'm sorry, please I didn't mean any of that!

Ronnie Anne: Lincoln please, I didn't mean any of what I said! Stop running please!

But he didn't stop, instead he kept running. Before they knew it, he was out of their sight. He had ran so fast he nearly knocked the door of the warehouse off it's hinges when he bursted through it. Other people called his name too, Clyde, Chandler, and some other kids. None of them could catch up to Lincoln though, thanks to him working out a lot.

Back with Lincoln, who was now running through the forest. Why was he at the forest? He didn't know, it was like something was telling him to run there. So he did, and he didn't stop until he got to the center of the forest. Where he ran out of breath and fell to his knees.

He was still crying, tears running down his face.

Lincoln: Why? Why would they do this to me? What did I ever do to them?

A figure silently walked out of the trees and started walking to the back of Lincoln, with a dagger in their hand.

Lincoln: I gave them everything. I gave them love. I gave them gifts. I did everything for them. Hell, I even let Lynn back into my love life.

The figure kept walking to Lincoln with the dagger, getting closer with each word.

Lincoln: I loved them, but they used me. Was I not good enough? Is what they say about me true? Am I really a worthless, useless, mistake?

Now the figure was right behind him. Lincoln now felt nothing but rage, he felt something snap in him. He felt like something inside him had just been ripped out...his innocent self.

The figure only looked at him in shock. Shocked that Lincoln would actually think of himself as that. Then Lincoln felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head, to see Scarlet in her fox disguise. Then she handed him the dagger, and sat next to him.

Scarlet: Lincoln, listen to me. You are not a worthless, useless, mistake. You are an amazing boyfriend. They were just greedy. They don't deserve you.

Lincoln:...I hate them.

Scarlet did her best to suppress a smirk, knowing her plan was going perfectly.

Lincoln: I hate them with all my heart. I hate them. I hate them! I HATE THEM!!!!

Lincoln then started hitting the ground out of rage, and Scarlet let him do it for a few seconds before trying to stop him. Then Scarlet put her hands on his arms and forced him to stop, then she made him look at her.

Scarlet: Lincoln, please calm down. I don't want you to hurt yourself over this, please?

Lincoln slowly calmed down. Her soothing and angelic voice calmed him down. He hugged her tightly and cried into her suit, but didn't sob.

Scarlet: Shh shh, it's okay Lincoln. I'm here for you, and nobody is going to hurt you anymore. I love you Lincoln, and I won't do anything to hurt you.

Lincoln: How do I know you love me, that you really love me? How do I know that you aren't going to just use me like they did?

Scarlet gently pulled his head back so that he was looking at her, and she took off her mask. Then looked at him in the eyes.

Scarlet: Because I worked my entire life since you saved me, to be perfect...for you. I went through painful exercises and workouts. I...beat up... anybody who said anything bad about you. I worked for years to be perfect for you Lincoln, and if that isn't enough proof. I will rarely ask you for anything.

Lincoln: H-how do I k-know y-you aren't going to u-use me to become p-popular?

Scarlet: Because I am already very popular, rich, and I have many friends, so I won't use you for any of that. I swear on my life.

They stared at each other for a while, then Scarlet said.

Scarlet: I know your heart is hurt from them Lincoln, and I know you probably don't trust love. But I love you, and I will do anything it takes to make you happy.

Lincoln: (smart-*ss tone of voice) Let me guess, happy as in sex wise?

Scarlet: No, I mean happy as in true happiness. I won't ever do that with you if you don't want to. Just, please Lincoln…I want to make you happy again. So with that said, can I be your permanent girlfriend? I promise to never cheat on you, to lie to you, to trick you, or anything like that.

They stayed silent for what seemed like hours. Then Scarlet got a sly idea, and decided to use it.

Scarlet: Okay, I understand. You don't want to be with me. I'm sorry I asked, especially how you are now. But just know that I will always be here for you Lincoln, if you accept my love.

Then Scarlet let him go and stood up, but just as she was about to walk away. Lincoln grabbed her hand, gently, then said in a low, almost whisper.

Lincoln: If you are telling the truth, about everything you've said. Then I need you now more than ever…please.

Scarlet, instead of smirking, smiled. She knew Lincoln was too nice to simply reject somebody's love. Especially the love of somebody who cared about him a lot, and showed him that affection.

So she sat on her knees in front of Lincoln, and she said.

Scarlet: So, you accept my feelings, and return them?

Lincoln:…Yes, I do.

Scarlet wanted to scream in joy, but she knew she had to stay serious. So she slowly and gently kissed him, and he kissed back. Then they pulled away and hugged each other.

Lincoln was happy to have Scarlet, and Scarlet was happy to have Lincoln. They hugged for a near hour before they pulled from the hug. Then they laid down in the grass, with Scarlet lying on top of Lincoln.

Resting her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Then when Lincoln fell asleep, she said one thing. One thing, that she wanted nearly all her life, and she finally got it. She said, in a faint, slow, soothing whisper, while listening to his heartbeat.

Scarlet: I won your heart.
