I stroll into Scarlett's room with a nervous smile on my face, she had rung me eight times this morning insisting that I came round for much needed girl talk. My smile drops when I notice mascara tracks down her face.

'Scar?' I ask quietly as I sit on the edge of her bed.

She lets out a small whimper, 'I feel like I've messed everything up!'

'W-What, why?'

The pink-haired girl shrugs, 'I-I just don't think that you should sleep with a friend.'

My eyes narrow, 'Has Toby said something? Do I need to kick his ass?'

She shakes her head quickly, 'T-That's the issue, he's said nothing! We both agreed that we wouldn't talk about it again.'

My head tilts, 'So, you want to talk about it?'

'I-I don't know! I just feel so confused!' She cries out before she grabs a pillow from her head and buries her head into it.

'Okay, let's try to figure this out.' I say as I awkwardly pat her back.

Fuck, I'm really not good at this comforting shit.

Scarlett's head snaps up, 'I-I'm worried that I like him!'

Oh fuck.

Poor Sammy.

Toby is really making his way through the group.

'Are you sure you are not just confused because you are vulnerable, and he gave you the comfort you needed?' I ask softly.

'I-I thought that too, I really did. I don't want to feel like this, but now when I see him there's butterflies in my stomach!'

I bit my lip, 'Have you thought about talking to him about all of this?'

'I-I can't, what if I ruin our friendship?'

I shrug as confliction runs through my veins, 'Or you might end up getting everything that you want?'

I really didn't want to encourage Scarlett to chase her heart because that's only going to end up hurting Sammy. But I also couldn't watch my best friend cry.

Either way, I feel fucking awful.

'H-He was so kind to me, Autie!' She murmurs, 'He made me feel as if I was the only girl in the entire world.'

'H-He did?'

'Yeah, you've had boyfriends before, you know what it's like when they kiss you with such passion but tenderness that you literally feel on fire and safe at the same time.'

'I-I've never had a boyfriend who makes me feel that way before.'

She frowns, 'Y-You haven't?'

I inhale a sharp breath, 'N-No, but I know if I found someone who made me feel like that, I probably wouldn't want to let them get away.'

The pink-haired girl chews the inside of her cheek, 'I-I don't want to let this get away.'

'Look, putting your feelings out there can be so fucking scary. I get that, you don't know if the person is going to feel the same way. But I trust you, it's going to feel a lot fucking worse when you look back and regret never taking that chance.'

I really hope Sammy forgives me for this.

'T-Thanks Autie.' She says softly as she reaches forward and squeezes my hand.

'You don't need to thank me, I'm always here for you.'

Scarlett nods as sits up, 'Since, we are already talking about boys, please can you talk to me about what's going on with you and my brother?'

My cheeks burn, 'T-There is nothing going on.'

She gives me a look, 'I have eyes, I've noticed a shift between you both.'

I fiddle with the blanket on the edge of her bed, 'I-I don't know, that's the truth. I don't know, what's going on between us.'

'D-Do you like him?'

Tears prick the corner of my eyes, 'M-Maybe, I don't know.'

Scarlett wraps an around my shoulders, 'Why are you crying?'

'B-Because I-I feel so fucking confused. A-And I'm scared, that when he finds out what happened. I-It will ruin everything.'

'You want to tell him?' 

I blink at the softness in her tone, it almost felt as if a cloud was talking to me, 'Y-Yeah, h-he opened up to me about some stuff, and I-If I did want to pursue a relationship with him, he would deserve to know, why his fucking girlfriend wouldn't be able to have sex with him.'

She nods slowly, 'Well, personally I don't think it would ruin anything.'

My eyebrows knit together, 'Y-You don't?'

'No, he's a good guy, he wouldn't just run away because you've been through trauma.'

An unfamiliar feeling enters the pit of my stomach, I couldn't even describe what the emotion it was.

I shrug, 'All of this is irrelevant anyway, I don't even think he feels the same way. Fuck, I don't even know, how I feel.'

She rolls her eyes, 'I've seen the smile you have when you are around him, it's different than the one you give the rest of us. It makes me a little jealous.'

I laugh slightly as I nudge her side gently, 'Shut up.'

'It's okay to fall for someone again, not everyone is going to be a Kyle.'

I tense at his name, 'I-I know, they won't.'

'Plus, I don't think I'm meant to tell you this but when he got home from the club the other day, he had the biggest grin on his face when he was telling me about your dance moves. By the way, I forgot to mention, I'm extremely hurt I wasn't invited, but I can move past this.'

'Scar, he wasn't even meant to come! I just wanted some quality time with Sammy, he hasn't been feeling himself lately, so I wanted to cheer him up.'

'Don't worry, I don't mind. I'd much rather you be there for Sammy. I just hope he's able to open up to me soon, he used to tell me everything. But now I feel like he's avoiding me.'

I frown slightly, 'I can't tell you what's going on, because it's not my place. But I promise, it's not you.'

'I just want him to be okay, he's one of my favourite people.'

I give her a small smile, 'And you are one of his, when he's ready I'm sure he'll tell you.'

She shrugs, 'I'm just glad he has you, I hate to think of him dealing with shit on his own.'

'You are really good friend.'

Scarlett squeezes me tightly, 'Really?!'

I wince, 'Y-Yes but you are crushing all of my bones!'

She gives me an apologetic look as she releases me, 'Sorry I'm a tight hugger! I get so excited when someone compliments me.'

I nod mostly to myself, 'Then I will compliment you more.'

'I-I didn't mean for it to come out like that! You compliment me, more than enough. Honestly, I've never had a girl friend who treats me like you do.'

'Me either, I'm lucky to have you and by the way I want to compliment you because you deserve it.'

Her green eyes sparkle with happiness, 'Who would have thought you having a flat tire could blossom into such a wonderful friendship!'

I laugh, 'Trust me, I didn't.'

'I don't want to sound like a bitch, but I'm so glad that your car went to shit that day.'

'Me too.'

Lucas bursts into the room with a bright grin on his face, 'Guess who fucking got a date with one of the hottest girls in school?!'

I feel my entire mood deflate, I try my best to muster up a smile but right now it felt extremely painful to do so.

I watch as Scarlett's face falls, 'W-What?'

His eyebrows knit together, 'You guys realise that this is good news, right? Why do you both look so fucking morbid?'

I force a tight smile onto my face, 'I'm happy for you Luke.'

'Finally! Thank you and she's exactly my type! We literally argue about everything.'

Scarlett tilts her head, 'And that's a good thing?'

I let out a shaky breath, 'Yeah, it's exactly what he wants.'

Shit.

Maybe I do have feelings for Lucas Wilson.
