The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 301 ~SCARLETT~

We were at the game, and my hands were shaking. I haven’t been able to stop it since we got here.

I was a lot more affected than I expected. How was I so worried about who Carter would end up kissing to the point that my hands were shaking?

This didn’t seem okay. Something was most definitely wrong with me. I’ve had so much hatred towards Carter for what he did to Clara; where did all of that hatred go? When did those feelings begin to change?

Why did it take me this long to realize it?

“They’re already winning,” Clara says with excitement. “Even though I hate his guts for cheating, I’m always happy to watch him play.”

That’s right, Scarlett, that bastard cheated on your sister! He cheated on her! Why on earth are you developing feelings for him?

“He’s going to be the star player again tonight.” Jenna sighs. “Carter does know his game. No one can take that from him.”

“Are we suddenly praising Carter?” I ask. I needed to say something against him if I wanted my sister to believe nothing was happening with me. If I suddenly started saying nice things about Carter, she would notice my change.

“You’re right,” Clara says as she rolls her eyes. “Why do we have good things to say about him? He’s nothing but a lying, cheating ass!”

Why do I suddenly feel offended that my sister said that about him? I wanted to bury my face in my hands and never look up again. I didn’t know what to do with these feelings. I didn’t want to accept them. I wanted to run and hide from them.

I couldn’t ever allow my feelings to ruin the relationship I had with Clara. Sisters came first. I couldn’t let a guy come between us.

The first step was not to be bothered by the fact that Carter would be kissing some random woman on the stand today.

“And tonight, the star player just as we all expected is Carterrrrr Prince!” The announcer shouts. The crowd erupts into a roar.

I try to stay calm but I can hardly breathe when the camera lands on a girl.

It was happening.

I could feel my heart sink when Carter rushed through the crowd over to the girl without a second thought. With each step he took towards her, I felt a little piece of my heart break.

This was insane! I shouldn’t care. I shouldn’t care if Carter even looked at another girl. Why did it bother me this much?

I knew I should look away, but I couldn’t. I watch in horror as she wraps her arms around his neck and pulls herself up so their lips touch. I quickly look away to find the same look of pain on Clara’s face.

I forgot that this was all about her. She was the one hurting the most. I was being selfish, only thinking about myself. I can’t even imagine how hard it must be on Clara to see Carter move on so quickly from her.

I move my gaze from her face towards Jenna; I hold back a gasp when I find her looking at me with a knowing look.

She knew.

Jenna had known me for a long time; she knew how to read me well. Even though my sister couldn’t see straight through me, she could.

I tried to stay calm, but I couldn’t stop the wild beating of my heart.

Jenna knew! She knew that I was starting to have feelings for Carter. It didn’t make me feel any better. This was something I wanted to bury for good. I never wanted anyone to find out that I had feelings for Carter.

“Clara,” I whisper. “Jenna and I need to use the washroom. We will meet you outside when you’re done here.”

She had a meeting with some of the cheerleaders now that the game was over. This would give me some time to speak with Jenna. I had to find out just how much she knew.

The second we reach the washroom, she pulls me into a stall and locks the door.

“What the hell are you thinking?” She demands from me.

I try to play it cool, “What are you talking about?”

She rolls her eyes, “Don’t you play dumb with me, Scarlett Mae. I know that look I saw you giving Carter. It’s the first time I’ve seen that look on your face since I’ve known you. Do you mind telling me what the hell is going on?”

“Shh,” I whisper. “What if someone hears you?”

She sighs, “I already checked. There is no one in here but us.”

I can’t even look her in the face. I’m too ashamed.

“Tell me, Scarlett. Do you have feelings for Carter?” She asks. “Are you and Carter starting something that Clara should know about?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I bit my lip nervously, “No, we are not starting anything. However, we have kissed more than once since that game where he kissed me in front of everyone.”

“What?” She shouts. “And why didn’t you tell us? We’ve been trying our best to get Carter to notice you, and all this time, so much has been happening, and you chose to keep it from us. Why?”

I fumble with my hair, “I was scared that I would hurt Clara. I know she wants Carter to fall in love with me, but if I’m honest, Jenna, I think I’m falling for him instead.”

I felt like breaking down and crying now that I’d admitted it out loud.

“I’m so ashamed of myself,” I confess. “Clara’s going to hate me the second she finds out.”

Jenna’s gaze softens, pulling me into her arms, “We will find a way to fix this. I promise you, Scarlett. You’re not going to lose your sister over this. I’ll make sure of it.”
