SIXTEEN
DAYS AFTER THE "TALK" that has happened between Scarlett and Martha, the girl has been thinking herself over. Martha didn't think it would happen again. She thought she was getting better, she thought she was never gonna let it happen ever again. But then again, her friend for so many years proved her wrong.
It was hard. Martha didn't know how it started, or how it developed. All she knew was that it was inside her. She tried to forget that she had a past like that, she really did. But no matter what, it was just buried inside her, waiting to come out.
It was her demon, a monster inside her. Martha tried to cure it, conceal it. Hell, she tried everything.
Nothing worked.
It was embarrassing, and fucking creepy to be like that. Scarlett, her friend, tried her best to help her friend but like Martha, she came to a conclusion that nothing worked. Scarlett tried to save her from her misery by always talking to her and reminding her that she's gonna be okay, that everything would be alright, that it would go away. Scarlett was like a mother to Martha, always there for her and caring for her, loving her like her own despite the close age difference.
Sebastian Stan had no idea what was happening to his girl. He was clueless, literally. He thought he knew her inside out, but he didn't. All the dates to fancy restaurants and hanging out at home eating McDonald's, talking about what he thought was everything. Sebastian had everything memorized about her, every little detail of their conversation so that he could use it in the future. Even her face, her facial expressions whenever Martha didn't like anything, or the look of love she gave him.
What Sebastian liked about her was her eyes. Her beautiful eyes that he always stared at. Well, she was staring at him first but of course Sebastian didn't find that fucking creepy or anything. He was falling for her, hard. He wouldn't know what he'd do if this relationship would be as fucked up as what he had with Kim Harrington, his ex who was never really his in the first place. Kim was with Chris Evans, his best friend.
It was a fucked up relationship. It ruined his friendship with one of the people he cared about the most, well before. But Sebastian couldn't help think of Chris sometimes. Was he okay? Did he know that Tom Brady was back? Of course he would, he's the biggest Tom Brady fan there is.
Maybe they'd talk again soon, but Sebastian is too focused on Martha at the moment and how she was so keen on him. He felt like Martha was just there beside him, or she was watching him. Okay maybe Sebastian found that thought disturbing and highly stalkerish but he dismissed the thought. Surely, Martha wasn't like that.
Or was she?
Months had passed and it was finally Halloween. Sebastian had asked Martha to accompany him in a party that was hosted by Robert. Of course, it was halloween themed. Sebastian had prepared himself for the horrors that would be in Robert's house. Last time, he almost pissed his pants. Up to now, he still thanks God for making his piss hold in and not embarrass himself in front of so many people.
After what felt like an hour, Sebastian arrived at Martha's apartment. He turned off the car's engine and got the bouquet of red roses that he bought for the special girl in his life right now. Sebastian opened the car door and went out, locking his car in the process. He fixed his glasses and sent a quick text to Martha.
Seb 😍
Hey babe. I'm at your front
door. Care to let me in?
Mar 💞
Of course! I'll be there
in a few seconds.
Sebastian smiled at her text and literally a few seconds had passed before the door opened, revealing Martha in a little black dress that hung above her knees, along with black knee high boots. Apparently she also has.. cat ears?
Sebastian chuckled as he saw her costume. He thought she looked cute with her very simple costume. "What? Does it look bad? Is it too simple? Do you not like it?" Martha asked as she fumbled with her dress and hair, very worried that the guy she was trying hard to impress didn't like her costume.
Sebastian shook his head and said, "no, no! You look absolutely beautiful, don't worry! Simplicity means beauty to me." He sent Martha a smile and handed her the bouquet he was holding. "Here, this is for you m'lady." Martha returned the smile, almost reaching her ears.
"Thank you! You didn't have to. Let me get a vase for this," Martha said, disappearing for a while before returning a few minutes later. "You ready to go?" Sebastian asked, offering his arm for Martha to take.
Martha nodded and reached for Sebastian's arm, thinking tonight was going to be perfect for the both of them. No one is gonna ruin this night for her.
—•—
THE TWO OF THEM FINALLY arrived at Robert's house. It was filled with numerous pumpkins (one even had Robert's face carved on it), webs all around the house, there were skeletons around.. the usual thing you'd find around halloween.
They went inside, Sebastian bracing himself for whatever that was going to show at Robert's house. Robert did not go easy on his visitors.
Sebastian leaned in and whispered on Martha's ear, "Robert has a knack of scaring his guests so I suggest you.. prepare yourself." Martha weakened at the way Sebastian whispered, but she regained her strength and managed to reply. "Thanks for the warning. Now I have to make sure I don't have a heart attack."
The two laughed and went inside the house. They were immediately greeted with creepy, but upbeat music. There, they saw everyone wearing different costumes. Some were weird, some were plain, and some were just fucked up (Sebastian would give high praise to the make-up artists, talented people indeed).
"Wow, people really put effort into this," Martha said, getting Sebastian's attention. The man nodded, letting go of Martha's arm and smiling. "Robert holds one of the best parties ever and he literally disses people who wear shit costumes. People think he's joking, but he isn't," Sebastian says, looking for someone in the crowd.
"Oh. Who are you looking for?" Martha asked, following Sebastian's line of vision. "Robert," Sebastian replied before turning to Martha. "Babe, let me go to Robert for a sec. Is that okay? We have something important to talk about," Martha nodded, quite sad that Sebastian had to leave. Sebastian kissed her temple and walked away, disappearing into the crowd.
Martha frowned and tried to find the bar where the drinks were held. Fortunately, it took her a few minutes. Unfortunately, Sebastian wasn't with her. Martha took a seat on one of the stools, frowning in the process. She tried to shake the feeling of wanting to see what he was doing, but she remembered what she said to herself.
Stop. Don't do it. He's gonna be fucking creeped out if he knew or see you following him.
"Mar!"
Martha was shaken out of her thoughts when a familiar voice interrupted her. She turned around and saw Anthony Mackie, a friend of hers. They weren't that close, but she felt comfortable around him.
"Anthony, hey!" Martha tried to sound cheerful, but she failed. "Where's Seabass at? I thought he'd be stuck by your side?" Anthony asked, taking a seat beside the frowning lady. Martha sighed and took a gulp out of the orange-y drink she ordered. She didn't know what the fuck it was, all she knew was it tasted good.
"I think he's with Robert or something. Needed to talk," she said, looking at the crowd and trying to find Sebastian. Anthony frowned and replied, "I think I just saw him around with an old friend," Martha grew confused as she wanted to know who this old friend was. Was it some girl?
"Who?" She plainly asked. Anthony shrugged and grabbed his phone, checking something. "I think it was Chris? I don't know, do you wanna check it out?" Martha had the sudden urge to check who it really was. I mean, she wasn't sure if Sebastian was hanging out with Chris himself or if he was hanging out with some random chick. She can't have that.
She wanted Sebastian for herself because Sebastian is hers, and hers only.
But she shook her head at Anthony and smiled a little. "Nah, I'll just wait for him here," she said, making Anthony nod and stand up. "Well, I gotta catch up with a few people here. You gonna be fine on your own?" He asked, holding his phone. Martha nodded and it was Anthony's cue to leave.
While walking away, Anthony pulled himself at a safe distance and opened his phone, checking to see if Martha was at her place or not.

SCARLETT PUT HER PHONE back in her pocket and decided to find Sebastian. She's gonna let Anthony find Martha before she does anything more creepy. Like doing something irrational to get his attention.
Once she found Sebastian talking to Chris (she was surprised that they weren't yelling with each other), she immediately grabbed Sebastian. "Woah, what the hell!" Sebastian exclaimed, a little bit surprised that Scarlett had dragged her to a room.
"Alright, I need you to fucking listen to me and have clear understanding in what I'm going to say," Scarlett said, making Sebastian sit on the chairs that had webs — he wasn't sure if they were fake or real anymore. "You're making me nervous. What the hell is going on?" Sebastian looked at Scarlett expectantly, who opened her mouth but nothing came out.
"This is gonna be a long ass explanation but Martha, she's —" Scarlett was cut off by Sebastian standing up. "What happened to her?" He asked with worried eyes.
"She's–She has this thing that started before you guys met. It started a long time ago and we don't know how it happened but it's fucking creepy and–"
"Will you please take a fucking breather!"
Scarlett took a deep breath and looked at situation, completely unsure of how she was going to explain to Sebastian what's wrong with Martha.
"Remember that incident that you think you saw Martha at the gym months ago?"
Sebastian nodded, a little confused. "Yeah, why? I think it was just someone who looked like her."
"And you told Anthony that you feel like someone's watching you or following you whenever you're going somewhere, am I right?" Scarlett was coming closer to Sebastian, who was getting slightly afraid of how his friend was acting.
"He told it was just–"
"Look, it wasn't paparazzi or someone who looked like Martha. It is her."
Sebastian has his jaw-dropped. He was confused, where was Scarlett going with his?
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Martha has stalker issues. Once she gets attached or obsessed with someone, she follows that person wherever he or she goes. She automatically thinks that, that person is hers and hers only so she makes sure that the person isn't doing something that would hurt her." Scarlett stopped and took a deep breath before continuing. "You left her to get Robert, but something inside her head is saying you're with a fucking girl so she's gonna stand at some distance and watch you."
Sebastian was silent, then he laughed. This time, it was Scarlett who was confused at the way he was acting. What was so funny about this?
"Is this some creepy ass halloween joke you're trying to play on me? You almost had me believing you," Sebastian said while laughing. He absolutely cannot believe himself. He almost fell for a joke.
But something was telling him that Scarlett wasn't kidding.
"Look, if you don't believe me, fine. You want proof? I'll give you her therapy records or some shit. I've known her for years, you've known her for months. If anybody knows this shit, it's me Sebastian. Not you. I'm saying this because I want you to be careful how to act around her. Do you get me? It's up to you if you want to be her or not because I swear, no one can stand her for so long."
Scarlett stood in front of Sebastian breathless. It took a lot of her strength to say all of this to the man in front of her because he was her friend and she wanted to warn him. Sebastian doesn't know what he's dealing with.
"So you're telling me, she's some stalker?" Sebastian asked, speaking after a moment of silence. He had admit, it was a lot to take in. He chose to believe Scarlett because she was right. He didn't know Martha as much as Scarlett. Scarlett had nodded at him and he sighed, completely shocked at what he's going to say.
"I don't care. I still want to be with her. I've fallen for her, Scar. I'm gonna help her get through this, no matter how long it takes. I promise."
Scarlett was bewildered. She didn't expect these words from Sebastian. She thought he was going to be creeped as hell, apparently not.
"Well then," she says, looking down then looking back up at the man. "If you want this, then go for it. If you give up, it's completely fine. Just tell me if anything goes wrong."
"I will."
Scarlett smiled at Sebastian before walking at the door, opening it to see Martha in front of her.
It sent a shock to Scarlett.
"Is there anything wrong?" Martha asked, not looking at her, but behind her.
Behind her where Sebastian was stood, shocked at his girl's appearance.
"No. Not at all."
