-Scarlett’s POV-

There was just so much on my mind at the moment. Alan and Brook were getting married in two days. Austin and I have been back together for two months now. He is asleep next to me in this bed. I don’t want to toss and turn so that I wake him up, so my mind is racing on how I got here. From Parker and the whole car accident. To the fact that Parker beat me multiple times, and that I almost didn’t make it out alive. To meeting Austin that night at Pierce the Veil’s party. So many things have happened in my life and here I am, lying in bed with Austin. My life went to shit and I gave up what use to be my dream job, now I would rather be on the road with my boyfriend. I think that him and the band are taking some kind of long break though, which he needs, but means I have to get to work again. I don’t want it to seem like I’m using him for his money. I was so fragile before I met Austin. My ex would beat me and I would take it…and Alan caused me to cut, but we won’t even go there. Though Austin made me run away and get knocked up twice, but hey we won’t go there either.

-Austin’s POV-

I awoke to an empty bed. This was unusual for Scar and I. Neither of us really worked and we were just kind of hanging out and being bums, because hell we deserved it.

It was 11AM, shit I slept too long that’s probably why she got up. I slipped sweats over my boxers and made my way out to the kitchen just in time to hear the door close and Scarlett come rushing in.

She crashed into me and I didn’t know what was going on but I wrapped my arms around her in return. Then I heard that she was silently sobbing.

“Honey what’s wrong?” I softly asked her.

“I-I went to Starbucks to meet Alysha and he was there.” She said crying more.

What was she talking about? “Who baby?”

“Pa-Parker” she choked out. What the fuck. He wasn’t supposed to even be in this state. Why the fuck would he think it’s okay to do that. I wanted to be angry, but she needed me and I couldn’t let her down. I gently picked her up as she still had her arms wrapped around my neck and walked over with her to the couch. I sat her in my lap as she clung on to me and she kicked her shoes off so that she could cuddle into me more. (Outfit link)

Did he say something to her or did she just see him? Hell, did he threaten her? Did he hit her? I wanted to ask her so many questions but I knew I couldn’t upset her more.

“Darling, what happened? Talk to me please.” I said.

She pulled away and looked me in the eyes with tear stained cheeks.

“He saw me and Alysha came up to us and asked me how I was doing. Then he threatened that if I ever got married he would kill me.” She said and looked down.

“I thought you had a restraining order against him and he was in jail?” I asked gently, knowing this is an extremely touchy subject.

“Me too Austin. Aly called the police and they came but by then he was gone. They’re suppose to review the security footage to prove that he was there and then I don’t know what’s going to happen. I haven’t seen him in how long and why now? Why?” she said and started crying into my chest even more.

I started playing with her hair with one hand as the other gently rubbed circles on her back. This bastard wasn’t touching her.

We are also two days away from Alan and Brook’s wedding. Would he find Scar there? Would he really want to scare her that much more? Why’d he come back now of all the times?
