The girl who brought peace

Chapter 15

Edward's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes or ears for that fact. Ever since I had that conversation with Scarlet in music and seeing how upset she got really made me want to do anything in my power to make her smile again. Looking up I couldn't stop the slight jealousy I felt when watching Rosalie able to make Scarlet laugh. 'Stop it. I'm with Bella I'm not allowed to be feeling this way for another'. I think to myself but then I heard her laugh and the thought of Bella just flew out of my head. Looking over again I tilted my head to listening in to what they were saying. "Erm, Rosalie have I got something on my face" Scarlet questioned, gently patting her face. Rosalie look over to scarlet to see she was becoming more paranoid "No sweetie your fine" I couldn't help but choke at the term of endearment Rosalie used for Scarlet. 'What is going on here' I think. However I couldn't help but almost giddy thinking that I'll be allowed to talk to Scarlet without having to listen to Rosalie thoughts about how disgustingly humans are. "Everyone's just shocked that your brace enough to talk to me, let alone stand next to me" Rosalie replied back flicking her eyes over to our table before looking back at Scarlet.

Scarlet's POV

"Erm, not to be rude or anything, really I'm not but may I ask why your willing to talk to me? I've had several people tell me who your are and how to treat others but your family. Don't get me wrong, I never judge someone without knowing them first but I must admit I'm quite frightened that this is a practical joke. I know you said"
looking round Scarlet leaned closer and lowered her voice a little to make sure no one close could over hear her, not knowing that all the Cullen's could.

Rosalie's POV

Leaning forward myself to hopefully make scarlet feel more comfortable in telling me "That you disliked Bella" at hearing this I heard several snorts come from my usual table, holding back one of my own at how downplayed my feelings towards Bella were being said. I couldn't help but feel like Scarlet disliked the word hate and only used it when there was no other word left to describe something/someone. "I wish I didn't, I wish that you would generally like to talk to me but I have to ask even if it will humiliate me in the end. Are you just talking to me because you've been dared to?" Scarlet whispered. I couldn't keep the shock off my face. 'This has happened before' I let out a low grow too low for Scarlet to hear towards Bella and was surprised when I heard the others growl to. Even Edward growled at Bella. I couldn't help but I would lay smirk 'Trouble in paradise' I think to Edward who turned round to look at me but was even more shocked when he shrugged. Whilst I was lost in my thoughts, I didn't realise how long I haven't answered Scarlet for and quickly looked over when I heard a sniffle. What I saw broke my cold, dead heart. Without think I wrap my arms around her and just held her until she calmed down a little and quickly guided her away eavesdroppers and into the corner desk furthest away from everyone so they couldn't try and listen in but closest to the Cullen's table so it would be easier for Jasper to calm her down whenever Scarlet needed it. Not that Scarlet will realise that's the reason... Or will she.
