She is a reader, a partier at the same time. she laughs way to loud. Her eyes are her only asset. She's waiting patiently until the train to take her out of her hometown stops before her. She loves being in love, but hates commitment. she is her own enigma, she is her own oxymoron. She tries not to hate, but it's unavoidable. she desires those who are undesireable, she is smart, but fails at life. She is me. I am her. and this is my life.
Love, maddie
Quotes by oxBUBBLESox
Brandon and Allie. Allie and Brandon. Kissing? In the stables? No this couldn't be happening. But the smell of horses, the feeling on Mary Lou's arm on mine, and the slight throbbing in my ankle brought me back to reality. And as unbelievable as it was, and terrible. Allie and Brandon kissing in the stables was my reality. My hand went to my throat. I could feel the lump in my throat growing bigger and the tears on the brink on overflow.
Brandon threw Allie off of him. "What the hell do you think your doing Allie!?!?" he yelled. He looked at me and all the anger he had just shown melted away into pure sorrow. Or was it guilt?
"Scarlett, baby, I'm so sorry you had to see that. It's not what you think i swear. Scar!" he yelled after me as i tore off running. I didn't care that my ankle hurt, i didn't care if he was or wasn't coming after me. I just needed to get away. Away from my reality.
I kept running. I didn't want to stop. Or I couldn't. I ran down the road, away from the house and towards the beach where Luke tried to... i didn't want to think about that either. I just wanted to run.
I came to the beach and never stopped. I ran down to the shore line. Then i stopped and sat down. The waves were crashing into me and it seemed as if they were trying to knock me right over. like everyone else today had. My cheeks were wet from either tears or the ocean spray. All of my thoughts were racing through my head like a train. Round and round.
How could he? Why? I thought... I thought he loved me. He promised me. Swore to me in kindergarten that he wouldn't ever let me cry. Well screw that! Suddenly i could hear footsteps behind me. O jeez. If it was Brandon... well i don't know what i would do. I stood up. Brushed myself off as well as i could, took a deep breath and turned around. I got the suprise of my life.
"Michael?" i said completely shocked. I thought i was going to see Brandon. But no i just saw my 14 year old cousin.
"Yup! Thats me! I saw you running and i followed you. I like it out here don't you?" He said plopping down on the ground. Lacy had mentioned that Michael had autism and was socially awkward and had a hard time talking and interacting with people.
"Yeah... its- nice." i said sitting down next to him.
"Why are your cheeks wet Scarlett? Hey that rhymes!" he said reaching up and touching my face.
"I was crying Michael." i said. He put his hand down.
"Mommy cries a lot. When i ask her why shes tells me its cause her baby boy is going away. Scarlett where is Tom going? And why can't i go with him?" he said his lower lip protruding and his eyes sparkling with tears.
"He's going to college Mike. And don't worry he'll visit! And maybe you can go and see him!" i said putting my arm around him and giving him a hug. The autism had made his emotional and mental abilities limited, so he had the capabilities of about a 5 year old.
"But why were you crying Scarlett?" he said looking up at me.
"Because i was sad."
"But you're getting married! You cant be sad!" he said sitting up fully. There it was. What i had been thinking all along had been thrown out in the open. Was i going to get married?
"I don't know if that's going to end up happening buddy..." i said in all honesty.
"But why?!?!" he starting to cry.
"Sweetie its- its hard to explain..." i said pulling him into another hug. I held him there for what seemed like hours. My own tears mixed with his as i started to cry.
"Yes!" i said opening my arms for a hug. Once i had said the word all of my doubts and fears had subsided and all that was left was my undying love and need for Brandon, for the rest of my life. He looked a little shocked at first, but soon recovered hugging me and giving me a kiss that gave me shivers. My entire family was smiling clapping and cheering. Even Grandaddy who hated yankees, but loved to see me happy. Brandon stepped back to put the ring on my finger. It was just a simple silver band with a oval cut sapphire with little tiny diamonds encircling it. It matched my earrings. I starred crying as i imagined the beautiful life i'd have with him. He looked at me and said "Scarlett, i believe you're finally where you need to be."
I looked at him and said, "I am. Right next to you."
The next few days were full of the congratulations and the happy tears from my family. Brandon and i decided to have the wedding in a month before we went of to NYU together. As i was talking to Carolann and saying how happy i was and asking if she'd help me pick out a dress. when Mary Lou came over.
"Carolann would you mind so terribly if i stole Scarlett for a few minutes? Thank you." She said without waiting for an answer.
"So i was hoping that since your girlfriends back home might not be able to fly in, that you'd make me, Dolly, and Lacy your bridesmaids!" she said linking my arms with her and leading me on a walk. My ankle was much better and i was able to walk a little but not very far. She lead me out to the back fields towards the stables, with a tight grip on my arm. In fact her grip seemed too tight as if she had a mission.
"Um sure. I was hoping Lacy would be my maid of honor, so you carolann, and dolly can be my bridesmaids!" i said as we approached the stables.
"O Hun thank you! Lets go for a ride shall we?" she said pulling me into the stables.
"Um well i dont really know if i can-" i said stopping dead once i saw what was going on inside the stables.
Where i need to be part 20 ( this
is kinda like looking into Scarlett mind. To be continued. lol
ive always wanted to say that :))
"O wow." i said breathless. I could here my family
murmuring behind me. Now before i tell you my answer lets review
the situation. I had to do this very fast keep in mind. Ok
so my boyfriend of 12 hours just asked my to marry him. You know
the whole death do us part stuff. BUT! He and I have been in love
for like 7 years, just we never said anything. I love him so much
and he's my best friend in the enitre universe. Right now
youre probably thinking oh my gosh! shes totally gunna say yes!
Not necessarily. Lets look at the other things going on
here. And here i'm going to be as logical as
humanely possible. Um im 18. I'm going to college in the
Fall, do i really want to be married when I'm out clubbing?
Not that I'd really ever go, but its a thought! I'm 18.
Am i really ready to have to take care of like a house? and who
knows if we can even afford an apartment? and the wedding? And
kids???? like don't those things cost like a shitload of
money? ughh. now youre probably thinking oh no! poor Brandon!
shes gona say no! NO! i am not going to say no, necessarily. I
mean im like 98 percent sure he's the love of my life, but
heres yet another thing, i haven't dated anyone else. so i
have nothing to compare this whole thing to. But im sure i
wouldn't be able to live another day without Brandon by my
side. But what kind of marriage would we have if i'm living
my parents and he's living with his because we can't
afford to live on our own? and i dont exactely have a job right
now. and hes got a job at a coffee place. not much pay there and
no health care. thats another thing? bills?taxes? were done for.
So right now my pros and cons list is looking pretty unbalanced.
but heres the thing, ive always believed that true love conquers
all. no matter what the circumstances, love will always trump the
other option. but what if the other option is the logical one?
logic vs. love. the world's most pondered
battle
"Hi there. I'm Dolly! Welcome Fredmont home to the the devil also known as Allie." said a girl with medium length brown hair. She was philliano and really pretty. she sat across from me.
"Yeah I'll have to agree there! I'm madeline!" said a girl sitting to my right. Madeline had a blonde bob hair cute with reallybig and deep blue eyes.
"And I'm Mary Louise. Most people just call em Mary Lo though." Mary Lou was the quietest one out of the group. She wa long brown hair halfway down her back and hazel eyes. I didn't know why, but something about her seemed off, i didn't trust her in the least bit.
"What was that all about miss! you kissed brandon! in front of his date last night! I couldn't be happier!" said Lacy. She had me scared for a second there.
"Well we definitely figured out some things bout each other we didn't know before last night." i said and the entire group looked at one another and smiled.
"But what about Luke?" asked Dolly. I told them the story and they were all visibly appalled.
"Oh my!" "He didn't!" "I would have died!" were all the responses.
"Is allie going to be mad Lace?" i asked her. I didnt want my cousin to hate me right away. But i cared about Brandon and our relatioship more. "Do you want the truth?" she replied. "Yes!" "If i was you, I'd sleep with one eye open... but she'll get over it. She'll probably go out with luke for heaven sakes just to spite you." "Oh well...best of luck to her on that one!"
i said with all honesty.Everyone had to laugh at that thought. "I"d be suprised if Allie went out with Luke actually..." said Dolly.
"Why" i asked suddenly curious. Allie didnt seem like the type of girl to turn down any guy. Especially a hot one.
"Well she actually listens to Granddaddy is what Dolly means...she doesn't usually go for yankees. I'm suprised she went on a date with Brandon actually."
"She only went because she wanted to make Scarlett jealous." said Mary Lou.
"How do you know?" i asked becoming more suspcious.
"I'm one of her friends too you know!" she said suddenly defensive.
no wonder i didnt like her!
"Oh im sorry i didn't know..."
What could follow such and awkawrd conversation but an awkward silence.
At that precise moment a whirlwind of events decided to occur.
We ran up the stairs cracking up and ignoring the stares from the rest of the family. Back home i didn't have any girlfriends just Brandon so it was nice to have a female companion for once.
While i showered Lacy looked through my clothes.
When i came back in atheltic shorts and an oversized tee shirt, my pre date outfit, Lacy had my duffel opened wide and there were clothes everywhere. Some i didn't even recognize. This should be interesting i thought to myself.
"Half this stuff Graddaddy won't let you out of the house in! He's against the whole wearing-pants-on-a-date-thing..... soooo i looked though your mama's closet because she was about your size so i've heard when she left! and look what i found!" Lacy said holing up a gorgeous dress. It was a high necked short-sleeved dress that ended mid thigh.It was white with black lace covering it. It was gorgeous. "And! you can wear these heels! They wear your mamas too.They'll make your legs look as you yankees put it, Hawt!"
I laughed and tried the outfit on. I looked in the mirror. Wowza. For once in my life, i looked like a knockout!
Lacy straighted my hair and did my makeup. I put the heels on and hugged her goodbye.
"Good Luck!" she said beaming.
"Thanks Lace! Ask Grandma if you can sleep over tonight okay?" I called behind running out the door. At that exact moment Brandon walked out too. He had a black button down on tucked into black pants and a red tie. His dark brown hair looked almost black and his gray eyes shown as he looked me up and down.
"Wow Scar you look- wow" he said.
"Thanks but i think you should be complimenting your date tonight." i said laughing. He chuckled and we descended the stairs.
Luke was waiting for me in a suit and tie. "Hey beautiful. " he said and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Have her home by 12 you here me son? said my grandpa sounding stern.
"Yessir." replied Luke
"Alright have fun." He said.
I ran up to him and kissed his cheek. He hugged me and i kissed and hugged my grandma goodbye aswell. As soon as i was out of their arms Luke's arm slithered his way around my waist yet again. We made polite conversation to the car and he opened the door of his black Volvo for me. We drove back into town.
