-Scarlett’s POV-

Here I was sitting on my couch staring into nothing. It’s been a day since Austin called.

A day since I ate, a day since I gave any shits. Selfish as can be and I don’t care.

Alan left going back to stay at his fiancé’s side while she’s a coma after he made out with me.

That made me laugh, why? Because I’m a sick ass bitch. This is how fucked up my life is.

Oh someone’s knocking on my door, how lovely.

I refuse to get up, but then I hear keys, and the only one who has keys to my place is Erin…shit.

I sat there, preparing myself for the wrath of Erin telling me that I’ll be okay.

I didn’t look as to who entered, if it was a murder, I didn’t care.

“Scarlett.” The voice said.

No, it couldn’t. I looked up and was met with a face I never expected.

“Austin” I said in disbelief.

He was grubby, and looked distraught. He stood before me just looking at me.

I got up and crashed my body into his wrapping my arms around his large frame. If he didn’t want me, he will push me off, and I hoped that wasn’t the case.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

I realized that I wasn’t wearing the most decent outfit. (Link)

“Sit with me, I need to explain why I did this to you Scar.” He said.

I pulled my robe over my shoulders more and grabbed a blanket to cover the rest of me.

“Go on” I said.

“I love you, please know that. I did this because I needed an escape, again. I have trust issues, and after all that you’ve been through I didn’t want to hurt you more. Yeah, leaving probably was stupid, but I’m done with that it’s in the past. Scarlett Harris, you are the most important person in my life. I can’t run from you any longer. I will commit to you I promise you. I came back, Alan was right about that. I don’t want to live my life with regrets anymore. You trusted me enough to tell me about what happened to you and I lead on that we would be back together. I know we have a lot to work on, but please, I beg of you at least talk to me again?” He said.

I was so consumed. He consumed me.

“Aus, I love you. I just thought I pushed you away…” he stopped me.

“No baby you didn’t. Damn it, please just be mine again? Let’s not play with each others hearts anymore.” He looked at me with puppy dog eyes, damn him.

“Yes, I’ll be yours” I said.

He came closer to me and I went into kiss him. His lips on mine just felt so right.

And so that kiss got heated. He trailed down my jawline and neck, knowing he was driving me insane.

I tugged on the bottom of his shirt, and he got the hint.

He pulled the blanket off of me and started laughing.

“What!” I said.

“I was wondering why you covered yourself up when you sat down, just a robe that barely stays on you and bra and panties, Scarlett Harris, it’s like you knew I was coming.” He said with a smirk.

“Shush” I said and untied the belt of the robe, leaving me exposed. Having sex with him right now after what he did was a bad idea, but I needed him and I didn’t care.

Lust filled his eyes as he looked at my body. He kicked his shoes off and hovered on top of me. He kissed down my neck and along my bra line.

I went for his belt and tried to undo it until he pulled my hands away and pulled them over my head. He was taking full control. He wanted this as much as I did.

I tried moving my hands again but he pinned them down. He was now gently biting at my neck, which caused me to be a withering mess under him. His other hand was slowly trailing down to my core.

Of course my cell phone knows how to ruin a moment.

“I have to get it Aus.” I said.

“No, baby, please.” He said in a heartbreakingly soft way.

“It might be Alan please.” I said and pouted.

He let me get up and I went and answered my phone.

“Hello?” I said, not recognizing the number.

“Scar, it’s Aaron, my phone died…it’s Brook…she had a stroke…Alan’s a wreck, please come soon.” He said.

“I’ll be there soon.” I said and ended the call.

I turned to look at Austin who was still staring at every inch of my body.

“Alan?” he said.

“Do you know about Brook, Austin?”

“No…what’s going on?”

Oh gosh, he didn’t even know. He saw the concern in my face and came to me.

“Babe, what’s going on?” he asked again.

“Alan proposed to Brook. We were having a celebration dinner for them and she was running late, Alan got the call she was in a bad wreck…now she’s in a coma and had a stroke…and Alan needs me…him and I are like best friends now…and I can’t…Austin I have to go.” I said.

“Can I come with you?” he asked.

“Alan would like that.” I said.

---

Austin and I walked into the hospital hand in hand. He apologized the whole ride here for letting me down.
We got on the elevator and went to Brook’s floor. I knew that everyone was going to be shocked about Austin, but neither of us cared about that.

They had her at the end of the hall in her own little corridor area, since there were so many visitors and all.

As soon as we turned into the corridor, Jen saw us and hit Tino in the arm. Aaron was sitting in a chair with Amanda cuddled into his lap. Phil and Anouk were talking to Alan who saw us next.

“Oh my god” Alan said.

Everyone turned and saw Austin and I as we approached them. Austin squeezed my hand for reassurance. As soon as Alan came up to him, he let go of my hand and full on pulled Alan into a hug.

Anouk came over to me and tried hugging me despite her pregnant belly.

Soon enough it evolved into a giant group hug. When everyone pulled away, I knew Alan and I needed to talk.

“Alan, take a walk with me? You have to be hungry.” I said when in reality I was the one who was starved.

“Yeah” he said.

Austin gave me a quick kiss before Alan and I walked down the hall.
