Scar's Perspective-

Scar sighed, leaning on Teagan's shoulder.

"Great, Joel and Jimmy probably hate me too."

Teagan looked concerned and wrapped her arm around Scar.

"I can't stop thinking about this stuff, it's taken over my life and made me stressed."

"I know it has, and it makes me sad that you're so stressed."

She ran her hand across Scar's cheek before holding his chin and making him look up at her.

Scar blushed as he looked into her hazel eyes.

"But you know...maybe I can help take your mind off of it."

"H-how?"

"Maybe...we could go out sometime?"

A smile formed on Scar's face.

"Y-yeah! Sure! I'd love to!"

Teagan smiled, "Really? That's great!"

She hugged Scar and kissed his cheek.

Scar took a deep breath and walked up to Teagan's house, knocking on the door.

Teagan answered it and smiled.

Scar blushed and smiled back.

"H-hey, you ready?"

"Yep! What do you think?" She asked, twirling around so Scar could see her outfit.

"You look great." He said genuinely.

Teagan giggled and smiled, holding Scar's hand.

"Great! Let's go!"

-(switch to first person and time skips bc I can >:)

You know those moments when you have some of the most fun in your life?

The ones where you're with someone you care about and you two are making funny memories together?

Well, imagine that, but you have this dark cloud following you.

This dark cloud that you mostly wave out of the way, but each time you two do something, it grows stronger and stronger, and before you know it, that dark cloud is a thunderstorm.

Is it easy to ignore a thunderstorm? With all the lightning and thunder?

The answer is no, it's not.

So then why, whenever this thunderstorm happens, do you continue to just push it away?

Is it because of fear?

Is it because you believe things are fine?

Or is it because of something else?

You see, this thunderstorm that I have created is not easy to ignore.

...and yet I still do.

Why?

It's because I'm scared, and because I don't want to believe it.

It's easier to believe that things will work out than to face your fears and realize that things are not okay.

So that thunderstorm I face whenever I'm around Teagan, I find it easier to believe that it's just something that'll pass.

It's just something that'll fix itself.

But this thunderstorm keeps getting stronger and grows bigger each time we do something together.

And yet there's always the same conclusion I come to.

Thunderstorms always pass.

And maybe it'll pass without me having to do anything.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it,

The thunderstorm metaphor is based off of my experiences.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I feel like I did a good job with it, but idk :///
let me know what you think!! And have a good day everyone :D
