Last chapter before I go on break.

Thanks for the support.

Arth went silent.

Seeing this, Scarlett let out a frustrated noise.

“This is why you are so stupid. Just enjoy life you idiot.”

“You don’t understand. You don’t know anything. If you did, you would hate me as well-”

“WELL HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING IF YOU DON’T TELL ME A GOD DAMN THING ABOUT IT?”

Arth flinched.

“And I swear, that I- I WILL NEVER HATE YOU! Whatever you do!”

“Why?”

“Because- Because I love you.”

Arth let out a hollow chuckle.

“And love can change-”

“AARGH!”

Scarlett raised her hands as if she was about to strangle Arth before putting them down while breathing heavily. After a few moments, she came over and gave Arth a fierce hug.

“What are you doing Scarlett-”

“Shut up and take it. Just accept the hug.”

Arth opened his mouth to say something before closing it after looking at the glare on her face.

After a few short moments, she mumbled something while her face was pressed onto his c.h.e.s.t.

“You are an idiot.”

“What did you say?”

“YOU ARE AN IDIOT! You don’t know anything.”

Arth fell silent.

“You wish to help others, but you never care about yourself. You say you want to be alone and carry everything by yourself, in order to protect others, but in the end, you hurt those who love you.”

Arth took a deep breath before looking up towards the sky.

“You know how it feels? To have someone you love refuse your affection? HOW IT FEELS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE PERSON YOU LOVE HAS A SCAR IN HIS HEART YET REFUSES TO SHOW IT! ITS AS IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN IN PAIN AND BROKEN!”

Scarlett started to cry.

“Do you not trust us? Are we that untrustworthy? Do you believe that nothing we do can help you?”

Scarlett moves her head up so that her face was facing Arth’s.

“I can help you. I love you. Just let me help you.”

Arth tried to avoid her gaze, however, she didn’t let him and placed her arms around his neck.

“Let me into your heart, and I can help.”

Arth finally gave his response, however, for some reason, his voice seemed to sound broken.

“How? How will you do that?”

Scarlett stared into his eyes before letting out a sad smile.

“Just let me in, and I’ll take care of the rest.”

Her emerald green eyes seemed to glitter in the moonlight, Arth didn’t know if it was from tears but something inside him gave up.

“Fine, fix me if you can.”

Scarlett let out a smile.

“I will.”

And then, she kissed him.

It was a long kiss, not too forceful, nor indecent. A normal kiss that only wished to convey her feelings into him.

After what seemed like hours, they finally separated and Arth closed his eyes.

“What are you going to do next?”

Scarlett let out a coy smile before placing a hand on his right c.h.e.s.t.

“We are going to have a little fun.”

Scarlett gave a light push and she and Arth fell into the garden bushes without any resistance. A place where no one could see what they were going to do next.

However, all that was in Arth’s mind was the eyes that held mixed emotions of love and sadness of the beautiful red haired girl in his arms who glowed like an angel underneath the moonlight.
