| got into a fight with Adrian.
| saw Scar with Adrian in the parking lot talking, happily. | could have gone and given her the files. It has been in
my car where | basically live these days. | didn't. | wasn't in a hurry to cut the only connection betweenand
Scar.
I followed their car, not sure what | wanted out of it. Another talk after
Adrian sends her home? What could another conversation do? Everything | do right now only pushes her further
away. But | followed them like a lost kid.
Adrian the jerk soon spottedand lostin the traffic. He was a racer, the one thing | could never win him
with.
When | caught up with him, Scar already went to see Ava. | admit, | was upset. Ava wasn't in any urgent need,
and he shouldn't have let her go. Jack Fuller doesn't care whether Ava needs it. He would drain Scar no matter
what.
His daughter's illness planted a hunger for Scar's blood deeply in him.

him that.
His punch doesn't hurt as much as the fact that Sear trusted him with her secret.
She doesn't like pity, so she never mentions to people about any of this.
But she trusted him with him. Him. A man she had barely met a handful of times. And she showed him her
deepest, darkest scars that she doesn't even show me. She has never complained toabout feeling like a

| didn't know she felt trapped and used, like object.
| guess it's because she did all that for me. She thought she was earning a chance from me, and | totally tricked
her.
| should let her go. | want to amend all the harm | have done her, but if leaving is what she wants, then...I should
let her go.
| sit in my car, the files that end the period of my life that has Scar in it, and | just realize it's almost my whole
life. I have known her my whole life. She never confessed her feelings for me, but | knew about it way before she
brought that deal to me. If | were not sensitive to her admiring stares in middle school, | definitely understood
her hurtful look in the next three years whenever | was with Ava.
| knew of her feelings, and | ignored them as "rightful punishment", for her trying to get attention in the wrong
way...
| close my eyes as if not seeing myself would ease the shameful guilt, but no. The guilt and shwere still
there, gnawing my heart.
| watched Scar coming out to Adrian, and | watched them driving off. Part ofwanted to give them my
blessing. | might not see eye to eye with Adrian on a lot of things, but he does love Scar. He jumped after her on
that abandoned building, and he would have fallen with her if we didn't collide into each other.
But part ofwanted to run him off the road and take Scar back into my car. Anything to keep her mine.
She was mine. So easily and so determinedly mine. She lovedwith such passionate that | don't know how to

for and just up and leave

| still have a chance...right?
But they didn't givethat chance. | watched Adrian buy two tickets, and | watched them go together talking
and laughing. | got a random ticket and followed when | knew it was for nothing.
| didn't even know what | was doing.
| grip the files in my hand, practicing my lie over and over. I'm here to give her what she wants. Nothing but.
When the Fuller appeared | didn't even move. | hid in the far corner | was in. Adrian was more than capable of
protecting her, if he wanted to. If he failed...
Then he doesn't get to keep her.
I wished he could fail.
But not in the way it did. Not with Scar's blood draining from her face in a horrified look at Jack Fuller's some
calm words.
