Zain POV
The shouting pulls me out of my room, but nothing prepares me for Callum’s words. She’s moving out? Not just moving, but moving in with April?
“Why is everyone shouting at me!” Scarlet yells, her voice cracking as tears fall. I want to stay angry, I want to stay focused on the part of me that’s hurt, but I can’t. I never can when she cries.
I walk over, wrap my arms around her, and hold her. “That’s enough. I didn’t want her crying,” I say, glancing toward Callum.
“You told me last time that if this ever came up again, I should be brutally honest. No matter what. So I was,” he replies, not backing down.
He’s not wrong. I did say that. I was furious then, sick of how Scarlet always defends April like she’s blind to every red flag. But maybe I underestimated how brutal honesty
