《Cherry Hill》XXII. I Guess I'm Drowning

It's not that I didn't love you, I just don't know anymore! I just never meant to hurt you.
~ Jaden's POV ~
Now I know, all of you are hating on me right now.
I know that, I hate me right now too but let me explain everything.
At the night of the break, I just started thinking about I just didn't feel excited with Scarlett and maybe the break would give me time to make feel happy for when we get off of break.
I went to the Halloween party and well, I missed Meredith and there was no justifying that.
I felt bad but I didn't know about the Instagram post, I didn't even know I posted that.
I don't even think I was the one who created the page in the first place, anyways when Scarlett found out, I felt bad.
I should have texted her and told her but I wanted to keep this to myself because I didn't want it ruining my chances of getting off of break with her.
I know I wasn't sincere with the apology and I should have been but I just couldn't, I thought this break up would be a good thing.
To Scarlett, when I apologized on the stairwell, I wasn't being sincere and I wasn't being serious about the apology.
But I was, I so serious even if my tone or face didn't make it seem like it.
She doesn't have to accept my apology but I want her to know that I love her and that I meant the apology, but when she told me those things, I felt my heart shatter.
Did she actually regret being with me?
When school finished, I walked back to my house and walked inside silently.
There wasn't anything for me to say or do, I wasn't happy but I was exhausted.

I walked upstairs and walked into the bathroom, I decided to take a bath and calm my mind.
I closed my eyes and tried to relax all of my thoughts, in my mind I saw Scarlett.
She's always pretty in my head and in my eyes, she didn't need makeup like she always said she needed.
I slowly sunk into the water with my mind filled with Scarlett, she made me happy.
I caught myself drowning in the bathtub and got up quickly, I dried myself and put on pajamas.
I walked to my room and laid on my bed before going on Spotify to play a playlist Scarlett had made for us, I never did stop listening to it since it held different songs.
The playlist altogether was about 18 house and 23 minutes, impressive considering it held all of our favorite songs.
I turned the lights off and closed the curtains, I covered myself with a weighted blanket.
But I couldn't fall asleep, although I had felt myself get really exhausted, my body just wasn't ready for it.
I stayed in bed and hesitated for a moment, I grabbed my phone and dialed a familiar number.
"What is it?"
A soft voice said dryly, I sighed and sat up in my bed before I responded to the person on the other line.
"Scarlett, I was sincere with my apology. You're not required to forgive me because I know I hurt you but I am seriously sorry."
I explained myself, Scarlett took a deep breath and released it before speaking up again.
She always had this soft voice.
"If you didn't love me anymore, you should've told me."
Now that took a lot of damage, I still love her but I understood where she was coming from.

I never meant to hurt her but now how do I explain to her that it was childish and idiotic for me, she wouldn't give me the time of day to explain.
It's not that I didn't love you, I just don't know anymore! I just never meant to hurt you.
Wow, great job explaining Jaden.
Now she'll really understand, she's totally gonna forgive you!
Scarlett just stood quiet for a second, she hummed a couple of times and then went dead silent.
I was worried that she was going to yell at me all of a sudden but instead, I heard a knock at my window.
I hung up the phone and walked over to my window, I unlocked the window and opened it.
Scarlett walked inside of my room and sat down beside me, I looked at her and smiles softly.
"I just wanted to tell you that I don't accept your apology, I want you to feel upset for a bit until I feel like it's okay again."
Scarlett spoke out, she hugged me tightly before getting up and walking out of my room through my window.
I sighed and face palmed my self before laying back in bed and turning my lights off once again.
I raised the volume to our playlist and got up, I walked over to my door and locked it so I wouldn't be interrupted.
I was gonna make a plan tomorrow, I was going to sleep tonight.
I covered myself with a weighted blanket and laid my head on my fluffy pillow.
I closed my eyes and prayed that everything would solve itself, I didn't want this to be the end of our relationship.
I soon feel into a deep sleep, I dreamt about her and only her.
If someone were to ask me whether I would allow myself to let Scarlett leave my life or drown, I guess I would be drowning then.
I love her, I just didn't show it and now I did the dumbest mistake anyone could do.
Now, I have karma coming her way towards me and Meredith is now on my case.
But I plan on fixing everything, even if it meant I wouldn't be able to call Scarlett mine again.

She has that good ol' Southern hospitality 2. She knows a lot of Southern Slang 3. SHE'S A MOTHER TRUCKIN' DRAGON I dunno about you, but I'd like to read a story where a young, Southern woman gets reincarnated as a hill dragon and has to fight vicious fairies, handsome dwarves, and plants that make you sneeze assisted by only her wits and a very passive-aggressive system that sends her weird emoticons. But hey. That's just me. Give it a chance! Tarnation Station is coming and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it! So why don't you hop on and enjoy the ride?

Soul Blood (*On Hold*)
All Saorise Caramort wanted in life was to live peacefully. She had no ambitions despite the freedom afforded to her, but that was just the way of the East.That all comes crashing down when her mother dies, and those other, greedier countries of the West decide they want a slice of her people's ten-thousand-year-old Forest of abundance. Her people fight back and hold out as they always have. No one takes the East without their permission. But something is stirring in the West, something not even those hardy and proud people in the East can defend against... Peter Octavius Westfold, Crown Prince of Wendolan, has boded his time in the shadows, carefully constructing the facade of the drunken, whoring, useless prince of the Warmongering nation of Wendolan since he was old enough to understand what his bloodline meant. Now, his father having finally died, he takes his throne much to the disgust of his people and court...then achieves in just a month what his father failed to do in three years. He just didn't count on meeting an obstacle to his grand ambitions at the negotiations table. Peter and Saorise come from very different cultures and value vastly different things. But as it becomes clear that something far older and far more dangerous than themselves is stirring, they have no choice but to meet each other as equals. For if they cannot combine the ancient blood within their very souls, no one will stand a chance... *31/12/2020 Update: This book will be on hold for a while for author to stock chapters and prioritise other works*
