SCARLETT'S POV

My husband Colin and my daughter Rose open the front door.
"Hey babe." Colin walks toward me and kisses my cheek, I tilt my head to see Rose running towards me and pick up her and hold her in my arms.
"Hey babygirl."
"Hi mommy."
I spin her around when I hear Colin behind me say
"Looks like mommy cooked us some pasta for dinner Rose."
"Yay" Rose say excitedly

When Colin says that I look towards the bathroom door remembering that Y/N is still in the there.

I wonder if she's listening to this conversation

I snap out of my train of thought when Colin asks if I'm okay.
"I'm fine, let me share out the food."

Colin and Rose are sitting at the table waiting, I look back at the stove to see there is still enough leftovers.

I wonder if Y/N would still want some

I share the food and take a seat.
"I thought you guys were gonna sleepover your mom's tonight."
"Yea slight change of plans, Rose wanted to come back so here we are."
I look at my daughter and smile at her, she's the most important thing in my life right now.

We end up talking about work and upcoming projects. Rose yawns and Colin offers to tuck her in upstairs to sleep. He picks Rose up and heads up the stairs "I'll meet you up there, I'm just gonna pack up this mess." I shout. I turn around when I heard the click of a door, I turn to face Y/N. She standing there in a bra and a pair of jeans and for a split second I could have sweared I seen a tear run down her face but she looks away. She picks up her shirt from off the ground and heads toward the door. I'm about to yell after her but then I remember that my husband and daughter are upstairs. I run towards her and grab her arm pulling her into my chest, she lays into my chest for a moment.

"Please leave me be." She whispers
"No." I say but it comes off as more of a demand

She leans off my chest and looks anywhere but at me "Please Scarlett I'm tired and I want to go home."
She finally looks up at me
"Please." She repeats
"Can I at least drive you back it's late."
"No, go spend time with your family."
"y/n."
The tears starting falling from her face and I just want to wipe them away.
"Just let me go please."
"I don't want to."
"You're happy with your family Scarlett and I refuse to get in the middle."

I'm about to protest when I hear footsteps coming down the steps I turn my head to see Rose.
"What are you doing up baby."
"I wasn't tired." She yawns
"Mhm, and where's dad?"
"He fell asleep."
I smile
"Alright let's get you to bed."
I look back at the front door to notice that y/n has already left. I bring Rose to her room until she falls asleep. I walk into my room to see my husband fast asleep in the bed, I get in. I stare above up at the ceiling thinking.

I hope she got home safe.
I should listen to her and let her go but I don't think I can and I don't want too.
But that's selfish

1 week later

I decided to give y/n her space but I can't help but miss her. I'm home alone contemplating whether I should just drive by y/n's house to see if she's doing okay. I make up my mind and grab my car keys to drive to y/n's, I'm parking up near the front when I see Melissa exiting y/n's house with some of her stuff. I roll down my window and yell
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
She sees me and slowly walks up to my car.
"Just bringing some of y/n's stuff to her."
"What do you mean to her?"
"You don't know?"
"KNOW WHAT?" I say getting scared
"Y/n is in the hospital, she got hit by a car."
"What?"
"I thought you knew."
"Why would I know?" I say starting to get mad not at Melissa but at whoever did this to her.
"I thought you knew because she was found a couple minutes from your house."
"What?"
"The police say it was a hit and run and it looked like she was walking alone, thank god another driver saw her bleeding out and reported it before it was too late."

This is all my fault I should have brought her back home, I should have just left her alone from the start.

"How are you are getting to the hospital?"
"I was just gonna call an Uber."
"Get in, I can drop you."

The entire car ride was silent, I didn't feel like making conversation all I could think about was y/n. I park the car and follow Melissa to y/n's room, walking in I see that her eyes are closed and she's hooked up to a bunch of machines.  I look towards Melissa for some kind of explanation she notices and says
"She's been in a coma for the past week."

It's like all the air escapes my lungs I head towards the hallway and start throwing chairs and punching the wall.
"FUCK."
In the corner of my eyes I see someone recording me, with anger clouding my decision I look towards him.

Fucking paparazzi

I march towards him.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I hiss
He steps back
"Nothing." He peeps
I walk toward him until he backs up into the wall
"It better be nothing or I will FUCKING SUE you and whatever company you work for."

Melissa and a bunch of others crowd around us looking at argument taking place. Melissa runs towards me and looks down at my knuckles.
"You're bleeding."
I look towards my hands but don't say anything.
"I need a nurse." She calls out

A few nurses come to assist me by leading me to another room to patch up my hand. As I'm being lead to my room I sneak a glance at y/n, despite her being hooked up to machines her beauty never flickers.
