Zakk As I pulled the car up outside of Scarlett's, I leaned back in my chair, still trying to wrap my head around everything that had been said. Scarlett kissed my cheek, whispering a goodbye in my ear before opening the car door. "So I'll see you tomorrow?" She looked at me intently and I nodded my head as a reply, but she obviously didn't like it. "Fine." She threw hands up and slammed the door. As I watched her walk away, I realised just how selfish I must have been acting. I jumped out and ran after her, grabbing her arm just as she stepped on the first stair of the porch. She turned to face me, tears streaming down her cheeks. I hung my head, feeling like a complete idiot. "I'm so sorry." I murmered, knowing she wouldn't just accept an apology like that. "For what, wondering whether or not I really love you? I just, I can't believe you. You're just as bad as your brother." She spat, turning away, but I ran ahead of her, blocking the doorway. "Please, you have to listen to me." She scowled at me, wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye. "What?" her voice held no emotion, and her eyes hardened. "Look, yes, it's bothering me about that, but that doesn't mean I don't love you any less. " I tilted her chin up so that she looked me directly in the eye. "If you were to walk away, and I didn't see you for the rest of my life, I'd never forget you, not ever. I don't think I'd be able to ever move on." I saw her pale blue eyes light up, but she masked it easily. "Please, you have to forgive me."  "Give me one reason to." "I've lied, I've cheated-" "You aren't helping yourself." "Let me finish." I pressed a finger to her lips. " Yes, I've done all of these things, yet you always stood by me. And yes, my sight's been...hazy, but I the one thing I'm certain of is you. You're the only person in my life even worth living for, I see that now, more than ever. So, please." A smile spread across her face, and she wrapped her arms tightly around my waist. She looked up at me and I pressed my lips to hers, wishing the moment would last forever. I looked down at her, and she blushed. "You really mean it?" "Of course. Thank you." What do you think? Was supposed to be up this morning, but it's up at least xD Hope you guys like!!

Scarlett Zakk hugged me goodbye, and began walking back to his car as I got my keys out from my bag, but I turned back round to face him. "Do you wanna, er, come in?" He looked at me blankly, so I continued. "To work on this?" I took the necklace out of my pocket, holding it up. "Oh! Sure." He laughed and nodded. "What did you think I meant?" I raised an eyebrow, trying not to laugh. He blushed and, hanging his head, shrugged his shoulders. I pushed the key into the lock and turned it slowly, opening the door carefully, but didn't move, staring into the hall. I felt Zakk's hands fall on my shoulders, making me flinch. "What's wrong?" "It doesn't feel...right." I tilted my head to the side, taking a single step inside the doorway. "Right?" Zakk stepped past me, looking around. "Safe. I mean safe." I followed him closely, not wanting to be alone. We walked silently through every room in the house ever so slowly. My hands were shaking by the time we reached my room, everything about if felt off, as if someone had been in here, sifting through my belongings before putting them back again. I know, I sound crazy. "Are you ok?" Zakk asked me, looking into my eyes with concern. I nodded, sitting down on my bed. I pulled out the locket from my pocket, wondering how we could get it open. "The two pieces were welded together, so why not weld them apart?" I wondered aloud, twisting and twirling it between my fingers. Zakk looked back at me, nodding. "Yeah, but do you own any welding equipment?" "Well," I paused for a second, "There might be a blowtorch in the basement. Will that do?" I stood up and paced back and forth along the length of my bed. "Probably. Hey, pass?" He held out his hands. I threw the locket at him, still thinking for alternatives incase this didn't work. He stepped out of the room, saying he'd be back in a minute. I shifted, an uncomfortable silence hanging in the air. Walking over to my chest of drawers, I picked up a thick jumper-which I quickly threw over my head and pulled the hood up-and my mp3 player, putting the headphones on as a random country song blasted out suddenly, making me annoyed I'd lent it to Crystal a few weeks ago. I sighed and deleted the song, flicking through my albums, but half of them were missing. I am going to murder her when I see her. I thought to myself, throwing it back down onto my bed and turning on the radio instead. I lay down, tapping my foot subconsciously as I half listened. I heard footprints climbing up the stairs, and sat up, obviosly expecting it to be Zakk, but when I looked up, I saw Shane. "What-? How did you get in here?" I asked frantically, throwing a pillow at him-it was the only thing I could think of, ok?-, but he caught it, tossing it down on the bed. "Came to see how you were getting on with the necklace. Hope that's Ok." He picked at the loose stitching on the woolen throw at the end of my bed, annoying me. "Seems you haven't gotten very far. I mean, come on, a blowtorch? Even I know that would never work." "Oh, shut up." I grumbled. "Nope." He sat down next to me, and I reflexively shuffled away from him by a fraction of an inch. His hand landed on mine, and when I tried to move, he tightened his grip, making me squeal. "I don't wanna hurt you." He growled viciously. "Then why are you?" I clenched my fist as he held my wrist tighter again. He just shrugged, infuriating me. "Zakk!" I was hoping to take Shane by surprise, barely getting off the bed before he pulled me back down "You coming?" Shane nodded his head towards the door, raising an eyebrow. I shook my head, watching him walk off, but curiosity got the better of me as I found myself following him down the stairs and towards the basement. EDIT: What do you think? I know, you guys liked it, but I still didn't like the ending so I tweaked it a bit =D
