Chapter 132 

No, I know I’ve been a shit father, but I promise to do better? 

My own father is by no means a saint, but even he’s better than Scarlett’s piece–of–shit dad. 

She said it didn’t bother her, but the way her eyes refused to meet mine as she said it was 

all I needed to know that she was trying to convince herself – not me. 

When the two hour mark passed, I was starting to get impatient. No amount of pacing back 

and forth could stop the uneasy feeling forming at the pit of my stomach. 

The procedure shouldn’t take more than an hour or two – tops. 

And to make matters worse, Scarlett’s dad had also showed up about half an hour ago. The 

only reason I know it’s him is because of the not–so–subtle glares Olivia was throwing him 

and the brunette that accompanied him. The only thing he and Scarlett had in common was 

their hazel green eyes. Other than that, she was the splitting image of her mother. 

My phone was also blowing up with texts from Caroline and Brooke asking if Scarlett was 

out of surgery. 

Caroline: Have you heard anything?? 

Brooke: Any news yet? 

Caroline: Is she out? 

Caroline: Aiden answer your fucking phone or so help me god! 

Caroline: That’s it – I’m coming to the hospital. 

After the last message I tried calling to reassure her that there was no need for her to come down, but it was too late. She had already dragged Brooke out of class and the two of them 

were on their way. 

As I continued to pace the almost empty hallway, I couldn’t help but think back to the first 

time I really saw Scarlett. That day in August I had let Lucas convince me to go with him to the girls‘ soccer game because he was trying to hit on Naomi – clearly that didn’t work out so

well because Caroline has him whipped, but that’s a different story altogether. 

I had of course seen her around school before, but I never really paid attention to her like I had that day. The moment I laid eyes on her, I couldn’t bring myself to look away. It wasn’t just her beauty that was captivating, it was everything about her. Every inch of her was amazing. Not only was she gorgeous on the outside, but she was also a beautiful person 

inside. 

She was a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. 

In fact – she had me wrapped around her finger, from the very first time she spoke my 

name. 

Whether I care to admit it or not, the second I laid eyes on her, I knew she would somehow 

come crashing into my world and turn it completely upside down. 

She was the one girl that I wanted more than just a hook up with. 

I wanted all of her. 

I wanted her beauty. 

I wanted her brains. 

I wanted her stubbornness. 

I wanted every single inch of her, emotionally and physically. 

And the thing I love most about her, is that she didn’t for one second, put up with my shit. 

I tried kidding myself at first that she was just another girl, and maybe if I just got her out of my system, she wouldn’t have such a hold on me. Boy was I wrong. It became ten times harder to be away from her once I really got to know her and the two of us started hanging 

out. 

I admit, I was a total dick and tried to get her out of my mind by aimlessly hooking up with other girls in the hopes that the feelings I was developing for her would go away. I never saw myself as the relationship type, especially so close to the end of high school. But no matter how many girls I slept with, none of them compared to Scarlett – and my mind would always drift back to her.

I finally came to terms with the fact that I wanted her, and only her. Even if she didn’t want the same, I stopped fucking around with different girls. The look on her face when she walked in on Victoria and I that day, it’s something I never want to see again. 

Instead, I wanted to be the person she knew she could always count on, even when everything and everyone was being impossible. 

I wanted to be the reason she smiled even when there was nothing else to smile about. 

I wanted to be the one that made her see that she was amazing, no matter what anybody else said. I wanted to treat her with the respect she deserved. 

To me, she was absolutely fucking perfect. Both on the outside and on the inside – I don’t care what anyone else says. She may be more stubborn than anyone I’ve ever met – and I’ve known Ella for more than half my life – but she was my stubborn person. 

Caroline and Brooke chose that exact moment to come rushing down the hallway. When they spotted us, the two of them quickened their paced until they came to a stop in front of 

Olivia and enveloped her in a tight hug.
