124 He Cooks

Scarlett’s POV

“Did you know that–”

“Sebastian! Sorry about the farce…” Ava’s pitiful yet bright voice cut off my pronunciation class. I pull my wrist hard and of course this time he lets me go.

“Scarlett,” Ava calls after me and I almost tremble at her voice. I take a deep breath and turn to look at her. She glances at Sebastian timidly before she hooks her fingers: “I’m sorry I made a fuss about it. I shouldn’t have told you about your mom, and I hurt you. I deserve losing my room if that could make up for anything…anyways, what I’m trying to say is, welcome home.”

“Yeah, sure, whatever,” I mumble as I go and sit at the furthest seat. ́

Ava stares at me, a bit surprised. I’m not arguing with her nor trying to expose her lie out of guilt, yes. But I wouldn’t have anyways even if I didn’t break that doll. Like I told her in the hospital, the Fullers are HER family, and the Romeo over there is HER prince charming. I know better now than to demand “fair” from her army.

Ava lets out a “relieved sigh“, turning to Sebastian with a shy smile: “Thank God you are here, or I wouldn’t be forgiven so easily.”

Even my silence can be her weapon of staining my name.

I look at Ava calmly, doesn’t even have the urge to expose her anymore. She made the cocoon of lies herself, and the more she is trapped, the more she has to lie just to cover it up. She can make me look as bad as possible in front of these people, but in the end, it’s her heart that those lies are burning a hole through, not mine.
