Scarlett went back to her own room first, trying to get rid of the evidence that she had been crying. Again she placed a chair in front of the door, preventing anyone from coming in. All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. Why did he kiss me? Why did I kiss back? Should I tell Bane?

The latter part was the hardest thing to decide on. She knew that if she told Bane had would be extremely mad, and it would probably mean the death of Luke. Why did he have to go and make things so complicated?

She enjoyed having a friend, but she couldn't call Luke a friend anymore. She was alone again.

Scarlett practically slapped on the foundation in order to hide her red and puffy eyes. Next she quickly touched up her make-up and took a few deep breaths. Deciding to wait a few minutes before going to Bane, Scarlett turned to the nearest book she could find and started reading, hoping that it would distract her a little.

After half an hour she couldn't let Bane waiting any longer. She had to face him, whether she wanted it or not.

With her head hanging low she walked over towards Bane's room. Softly she closed the door behind her once she entered, hoping Bane wouldn't have heard her enter.

But sadly Bane heard everything. 'Where have you been?' he asked her quite annoyed.

Scarlett quickly had to think of an excuse. 'I got lost in one of those books Sally brought me.'

'Maybe I ought to take those books away from you then…'

He walked towards Scarlett, who was still standing near the door, and wrapped his arms around her waist. It was clear what he wanted to do, but after what happened Scarlett couldn't bring herself to do it.

'Not today' she said, pushing him away softly.

Within the second Bane's eyes turned from soft, to cold. It scared Scarlett somewhat, he had to know something was up, she never rejected him before.

'I'm going to bed' She wiggled herself free from his grip and walked over to their bed. Not bothering to undress she laid down, covering herself with blankets from head to toe.

She couldn't hear Bane moving, he was probably startled by her behavior. To be honest even Scarlett herself didn't really know what she was doing.

However, there was one thing she did know, she had to tell him before Sally was going to find out and tell Bane.

That night she didn't feel Bane's presence next to her. She wondered where he was, hoping he didn't want to Sally.

When she woke up the following morning her throat felt dry. She sat up straight to find the room empty. After trying to stand up, she had to sit down again, feeling to nauseous to move. Scarlett had become literary sick of what she had done.

She figured Bane wouldn't be back until later this afternoon, if he would come back at all. Until then Scarlett had the time to gain some confidence and think of what she was going to say.

Initially she wanted to stay in her room all day, but after some thinking she decided she wanted to see Luke. Scarlett had to know what he had to say about their little incident.

Dressed in the same clothes as yesterday and after downing a few painkillers she moved out of the door.

Luckily she didn't ran into Sally and Luke was easy to find.

Scarlett found him sitting in his room, without knocking first Scarlett opened the door and closed it softly behind her.

'Please explain what happened yesterday' Scarlett said to Luke, who was seated on the bed with his back towards her.

He turned around and a smile formed on his lips, much to Scarlett's despair. 'You know what happened' he replied. 'And if we were upon that roof, I would do it all over again'

'Do you know what will happen to you if Bane finds out!' Scarlett said, her voice trembling with anger. 'He will kill you'

'He won't, because you won't tell him' Suddenly Luke was dead serious. He stood up from the bed and moved closer to Scarlett.

Luke wanted to cup Scarlett's face with one of his hands, but she quickly moved away, hoping no one saw that.

'I have to tell him' Scarlett urged him. She couldn't wait too long before telling him, the longer she waited, the worse Luke's punishment was going to get.

'No you don't' Luke assured her. 'No one knows of this, except for you and I. And I know you want me as bad as I want you. No one has the key to the roof except me, we are safe up there.'

Luke had a loving look in his face, which confused Scarlett even more.

'I only kissed you back, because I can't kiss Bane, I got caught up' she told him. 'But I love him and I don't love you'

She moved a few steps back, allowing some distances between her and Luke, but the gap was quickly closed by Luke. Roughly he grabbed her wrist, squeezing tight.

'You listen to me. You don't love him. You think you do, but you don't' His hand squeezed her wrist even tighter. Scarlett tried to pull it out of his grip, but he was too strong. 'No one has to know about this… '

Luke held her a few seconds longer before letting her go. Scarlett hand immediately shot up to her wrist, rubbing the spot where he had pinched her.

Before she knew it, the hand which hadn't been hurt shot up in the air and hit Luke right across his face. 'You don't tell me what to do' she said, before storming out of the room.

As quick as she could she walked towards Bane's room, the room where she would be the most safe.

To her despair she saw that her left wrist was completely covered in bruises. She could never hide this from Bane. There was no other way but to tell him.

Scarlett sat down on one of the chairs, and waited patiently for Bane to come back.

After about half an hour she could hear footsteps approaching, causing her heart rate to go up dramatically. The door opened aggressively and Bane walked in, his eyes screaming terror.

He stopped for a moment to look at Scarlett. 'Are you going to tell me what happened yesterday?'

'Actually, yes' Scarlett said before taking a deep breath.

She still wasn't sure if she was going to mention Luke's name.

'Please sit down' Scarlett asked Bane. She would feel somewhat more comfortable if Bane would sit down, instead of towering over her.

'I'd rather stand' he snapped back.

'Okay… What if I maybe got kissed by somebody yesterday, that wasn't you…' Scarlett said, trying to sound calm even though she was kind of panicking.

Scarlett could see Bane's hands curling up into a fist and his breathing started to become heavier.

She couldn't bear to look him in the eye, she was too afraid of what she had done.

After a few seconds Bane still hadn't spoken.

'I know I shouldn't have done this and I totally regret it. He just caught me totally off guard and I didn't know what to do!' Scarlett tried to explain.

She ran her right hand through her hair, completely forgetting that her right wrist was completely bruised, and of course the bruises caught Bane's eye.

'What is that?' he said, grabbing her hand to examine the bruises. His hands were immensely hot compared to Scarlett's cold hands

'It's nothing' Scarlett said, trying to pull her hand back, but Bane held it tightly.

'Who did this?' His voice sounded demanding.

'I told you, it's nothing' Scarlett pulled her wrist away from his grip and quickly put in under the table.

Bane sighed. 'Was is the same guy you… kissed?'

It almost sounded like Bane had trouble to even pronounce the word: 'kissed'. He clearly wasn't happy about this.

'Yes' Scarlett replied, staring at the ground again.

'Tell me his name'

'I can't' Scarlett shook her head.

'What do you mean, you can't' Bane basically spat out the words.

'Because you will kill him'

Bane hesitated for a moment before speaking. 'And you care for him that much to spare him?'

That was a difficult question.

'No, I despise him, but do you really have to kill him? Can't you think of another punishment?'

Bane didn't answer her question, but he did speak: 'The problem is Scarlett, why didn't you tell me this yesterday?'

Scarlett looked up to look Bane in the eye, trying to find the right words.

'Because I have known since yesterday' Bane added, his voice stone cold.
