Chapter 37 Elena's false assumptions
Jean is sitting near swimming pool waiting for Scott to come back. This will be their only time to spend together before starting their work. She is gloomy because she can already feel the emptiness in her heart. She hoped they can meet often but she didn't voice her idea to Scott because it is risky.
As soon as Scott entered backyard with Nathan she want to go and hug him so badly and send silent warning to Nathan to leave them alone. But when she saw Scott in his eyes she got to know that her so called sister is back to spy on him.
So to avoid complications she went inside fast. Nathan was again shocked by their level of understanding between each other and hoped that he and Aria should be like them.
After dinner Scott said Jean about their plan of penthouse and its special features. She is beyond happy and thanked Nathan again and again.
But she couldn't sleep properly thinking about how her aunt and grandparents behaved with her and she will miss her friends from tomorrow hough Scott will be in her reach but she is still worried that someone may see them. Kim had almost seen her on Friday if it isn't for their fast instincts he would have known that it is her.
So she calmly skipped into balcony carefully so she wont wake up Scott who is sleeping peacefully. After some time Scott who felt cold without her in his embrace woke up to see she is not with him. Thinking about how cold it is out he frowned. Given to the dress she is wearing she should be shivering now and felt angry for her reluctance to take care of herself.
At the same time Elena who is usually a late sleeper couldn't fall asleep thinking about her other niece. She couldn't forget Jean's sad face and shivering body in hospital, her cracking voice when she talked to her is full of raw and deeply hurt emotions. She is feeling extremely unwell since that scene and came out into balcony for fresh air.
As she is in second floor of Cass house she can see the girl near swimming pool is now standing in balcony looking lost and sad. Her hair is freely flying all over her face masking most of her beautifuul face. She is rubbing her nape uneasily. She is wearing same dress and is slightly shivering due to coldness while her tears are falling drop by drop on the rails.
Elena felt curious of this girls actions. Why is she in Scott's room at this time and why is she crying calmly in balcony did Scott hurt her by forcing him on her. She didn't understood the relationship between these both, earlier when she saw them that girl just stormed into the house after seeing into Scott's eyes. Did he glare at her angrily for some reason that she freaked out.
She is making her own assumptions when suddenly door of Scotts balcony opened he looked angry. While the girl wiped her tears hideously as he came from back and hugged her and started kissing her neck. She slightly shivered but leaned against him.
He suddenly turned her around so she is facing him. He saw her face calmly for some seconds before going back into room. Elena can see girls shoulders slumped as she hold her face in her hands. She almost concluded that he is abusing her.
Scott came back. What Elena saw next proved that her assumptions were wrong. He slowly held her chin in his hands and removed her hands gently from her face and wiped her tears tenderly. He kissed her eyes and hugged her tightly in his arms before wrapping both of them into blanket as she leaned against his chest and closed her eyes.
Scott's expression is painful. He didn't look well but whenever he saw her sad face it became more worst. Later that girl kissed him on lips and wrapped her arms around his neck and said something.
Scott laughed before asking her about something for which she giggled and whispered something in his ears. Scott smiled at her teasingly before carrying her back. They looked like a perfect couple. Elena pitied for Cass but also felt pleased that Scott is unexpectedly loyal to that girl. Whoever she is, she is indeed so lucky. Elena prayed to god that her first niece at least should get good life partner like Scott and went back to sleep.
Jean slept peacefully in his arms. He cares for her like a parent cares for a child tender and sweet. She felt lucky that she got him. He never crossed his limits without her perimission and she couldn't imagine her life without him she is sure that she would have shattered into pieces like her uncle wished if it isn't for his love and protective nature.
She thanked god like she do everyday for granting him as a light in her dark and gloomy life
