Chapter Five

Scarlett

It’s a new day with a brand new start, and I’m ready for whatever’s about to happen, no matter if it’s good or bad. That’s what I told myself the moment I slid out of bed this morning. Now I’m standing on the sidewalk in front of my now ex’s apartment, the place where I need to get all my shit from.

It’s crazy how the light blue exterior now makes me feel nauseous, riddled with nerves. My anxiety makes it feel like someone is pushing their hand down on my chest, and my hands shake slightly, worrying about what kind of hell he’s going to make me go through. Scott won’t make this easy for me. He’s never made anything easy.

Putting one foot forward, I walk up the brick stairs that lead to the apartment. Lifting my hand, I rap my knuckles against the door and hear the shuffling of feet from where I stand. “Shit, hold on a sec, okay? I don’t know why she’s here,” Scott’s voice rings out and my heart sinks into my stomach. Sure, we broke up . . . and yeah, I don’t know if I was in love with him, but I cared for him. It’s not like I didn’t feel anything for the man.

My Nissan Altima’s parked on the street and I’m here ready to take whatever I can fit back to Cameron’s. She told me late last night I could move in with her permanently if I wanted, but I don’t want to feel like a hindrance. She’s my best friend and living together might be too much. She kept telling me it would be great and eventually I accepted her offer. Hell, she even told me her mom would stay at her brother’s when she comes to town. She went on and told me how her mom even said Preston had the nicer place. Cameron thinks it’s because Preston has an oversized apartment, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom.

Scott wouldn’t let me come here yesterday, but I’m hoping today things will be different. I know for a fact he’s off and I can’t keep living out of the maybe three outfits I have at Cam’s. I probably should’ve called, but oh well, the man doesn’t need my shit.

Shirtless, Scott pulls the door open and is careful not to open it too far. He looks me up and down, furrows his brows and gawks. “What’re you doing here?”

I blink rapidly at him. “Everything I own is here. I’m here to get my shit.” He has to be kidding me. Why else would I be here? I’m certainly not here to beg for him to take me back.

“We can set something up later, Scarlett. Now’s not a good time.” Scott’s eyes widen as he says the last bit and I hear someone mutter something from behind him. I know for a fact that he can’t be alone. For fuck’s sake, when he broke up with me, he told me he found a woman who could fuck better than me, which only confirmed the fact he was cheating on me the entire time.
