087 His Confession
Scarlett’s POV
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt much better when the bright twilight
woke me up.
The ward is empty. No doctor, no nurse…
No Adrian.
I guess the baby did his job alright.
Warning myself that it’s stupid to weep over something I never had, I slip down the hard, tiny bed and walk toward the window. The breeze at the end of the fall is no longer warm. It’s chill.
I wanted the baby thing to get me out of the awkward talk, so why am I feeling so low?
Anyone in the right mind getting to know that the girl they met a week ago won’t stay around in the hope of any romantic whatsoever. He did the right thing. Actually, I wanted him to make this choice.
I don’t know how to love again.
Maybe one day I can heal, but I’m broken right now, I know.
I’m no longer the brave girl who could put love as the center of her world, who could laugh at his happiness and cry at this sorrow. I gave all that to Sebastian, and it’s not fair to Adrian if I were to try things with him when I know I can’t give him the same thing.
I just…really wanted to be on the other side of favoritism for a change.
I wanted a man who could throw himself after me when I was in danger; I wanted a man who would take my side with no condition, and protect me from all the greedy, vile, hurtful normality that is my life. I wanted to be the “only” in a man’s heart, just like how I loved Sebastian.
But I guess that’s wrong, cause Sebastian doesn’t seem to have enjoyed that.
Maybe I’m the one being greedy.

You’d think it’s a pure joy of life that one would feel after a near–death experience, but I suddenly find myself so drained that I barely want to go on. I got out of danger, only to have it confirmed once again that I had no one.
Should I even continue the movie—a
answer.
