DEXTER:

I really wanted to follow Amelia earlier, but seeing Scarlett in the condition she was in, I just couldn’t leave her alone

Right now, Scarlett needed me more than anybody in the world and I had to be there for her,

As soon as Amelia walked out of the room, I heaved deeply and turned towards Scarlett,

"You should get some rest, Scarlett; I’m here, and I won’t ever leave you."

She smiled and nodded her head afterward, rubbing my hand gently,

"Thank you for being like a big brother to me, Dexter, I love you so much." She uttered, but I remained silent, staring at her,

I guess she still considers me as nothing more than a big brother, and here I was still battling my feelings for her. I nodded my head, "I love you too, sleep now." I uttered and she laid down on the bed gently.

As soon as Scarlett shut her eyes, I cocked my head towards the table and saw the tray of food Amelia had brought in, and the guilt began to rush in

Maybe I was mean to her earlier. I let out another deep sigh and rose to my feet. Once I picked up the tray, I opened the food and smiled a little,

Why was she acting so caring and considerate? It didn’t fit her so well. She even recalled I hadn’t had anything since yesterday and she was worried,

I let out another smile, my thoughts drifting to Amelia until I realized it,

What the hell am I doing? Why was I thinking about Amelia just now and just the thought of her was able to ease out a little bit of my frustration,

"Dexter, are you okay? What are you doing?" I heard Scarlett’s voice and instantly snapped out of my trance as I turned around to face her with the food,

"Nothing. I just want to eat a little. I’ll rest a bit afterward." I uttered as I took my seat back,

"Are you seriously going to eat that? What if she poisoned it?" Scarlett uttered and I instantly frowned at her,

"Don’t say that about Amelia. She might be able to do every other thing, but she would never harm even a fly." I responded a little harshly without realizing it and Scarlett frowned, taking her gaze away from me,

"Are you taking her side? You know she doesn’t like me, Dexter. I mean no matter how hard I tried in the past, she still hates me. I think it’s because we’re close that’s why she despises me." Scarlett uttered,

"Let’s not talk about Amelia right now okay? I want you to be better and healthy again, that’s all." I responded, wanting so bad for us to end the topic about Amelia so I wouldn’t have to end up taking sides as I knew I didn’t want anything that would displease Scarlett but at the same time, let her talk about Amelia wrongly,

"Alright. Let’s do that. I want to eat too. Could you get me a glass of water on the table? I’m thirsty." Scarlett uttered while I dropped the tray of food on the bed and began walking towards the center table,

I grabbed the jug of water and poured some into a glass,
