Wait For You

Closure

Seth Rollins impatiently tapped his foot on the solid concrete as he sat in his jail cell with his head buried in his hands. He had really fucked up big time, and there was no way of going back and changing it, no matter how hard he tried. He had continually pleaded with the guards to let him out and explain himself to a judge, but it was too late. Seth had been sentenced to 15 years in prison for kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment. He sighed in frustration as he realized that there was no hope, and there was nothing he could do about it. He was going to have to get used to being trapped in a cell twenty three hours a day, with disgusting food and even more disgusting cellmates.

"Fuck my life," he rubbed his temples as he groaned.

"Mr. Rollins?" a guard said on the other side of the bars, "You have a visitor," he said with compassion in his face.

Seth's eyes widened in surprise. "Who would want to visit a scumbag like me?"

"She said it was really important," the guard explained.

"She?" Seth asked as the guard unlocked the cell and led Seth to an undisclosed room.

He looked through the plexiglass and saw a blonde figure with her back turned to him sitting at a table. It could only be one person. 

"Scarlett?" Seth rose his eyebrow as the guard shackled his hands together. "What are you—-"

"I'm the one asking the questions, not you," she snarled.

"O...kay," Seth frowned as he slowly sat down and watched the guard lock the door behind him. He stared at the girl sitting across from him. Her face was pale, her eyes were drained, and her hair was a mess, not the usual way Scarlett presents herself.

Scarlett sighed. "Why did you do this?" she spoke softly.

Such a simple question, and still, Seth couldn't explain himself. "I don't know," Seth averted his gaze.

"Don't bullshit me Seth. I don't have time for anymore games, because honestly, I'm so sick of them. All I want is an answer, so then I never have to speak to you again," Scarlett pushed her hair behind her ear as she intensely stared at him.

Seth simply shrugged. "I honestly don't know."

"Just give me a damn answer! It's not that hard!" Scarlett slammed her hand on the table. "Why did you get involved with them again after all they did to torture me last year? What did they offer you that you couldn't refuse? Because you are not who I thought you were," her voice shook.

Seth sat there in silence, not wanting to admit the truth.

"I deserve to know the truth," Scarlett pointed out.

"I was jealous," Seth mumbled almost inaudibly.

"You were what?" Scarlett's eyebrow rose.

"You heard me. I said I was jealous," Seth stared down at the floor.

"Of what?" Scarlett was so lost.

"Everyone knew you still had feelings for Randy, it was written all over your face," Seth explained. "I had always thought you were really pretty and cool, so yeah, I was jealous," he confessed.

"That still doesn't explain why you guys had to kidnap me," Scarlett was getting irritated.

"Barb wanted revenge, and she knew that if we took you away from Randy, that there no was chance of you guys getting back together, so she asked me to join her."

Scarlett exhaled sharply. "You know, I don't even know why I'm telling you this, but I was actually starting to like you more and more each time we hung out, but I should've known you had other intentions. I never did anything to hurt you, so I will never understand why you did this. I should've known better than to come back," she rubbed her cheeks. "Sometimes I wish I never found out John was my father, because none of this would have happened, and I would've had a normal life and normal senior year, but then again, then I would have never met the love of my life. This entire time, I had doubted him, but now I know to never do that again, because it wasn't fair to him. Unlike you, he actually cares about me, and I'm done pushing him away, because he makes me happy, and I hope you rot in prison knowing you failed. Not only did your little scheme fail, but you brought me and Randy back together because of it, so in a way, I should thank you, but I will still never forgive you for this," she stood up from her seat. "Goodbye Seth," she whispered before turning for the door.

"Scarlett wait," Seth stopped her as she turned back to face him. "I'm sorry," he blurted.

Scarlett rolled her eyes. "That's what they all say," she remarked before pushing the door open and walking out, not looking back at a sorrowful Seth Rollins.

"Hey babe," Randy smiled as he snuck up from behind, wrapping his arms around Scarlett's waist.

"Hey," Scarlett mumbled, not paying much attention.

"I missed you," Randy whispered in her ear.

"I missed you too," Scarlett replied on instinct.

"Is everything okay?" Randy asked as he lightly rubbed her hips.

"Yeah," Scarlett shrugged, "I guess. I don't know," she sighed.

"Hey," Randy intertwined his fingers with her, "You know you can tell me anything," he reassured her.

"I know," Scarlett avoided eye contact.

"What's wrong?" Randy cupped her cheeks with his hands. "Please tell me, I don't want you to be sad."

Scarlett sighed deeply. "I saw Seth today in prison," she admitted.

"What? Why?" Randy shook his head. "After what he did to you——"

"I know, that's why I hesitated at first, but I needed closure," Scarlett justified.

"What happened exactly?"

"Um," Scarlett didn't want to tell Randy the truth, "I confronted him and he finally told me the truth," she explained

"And?" Randy urged her to continue.

"I don't really want to talk about it right now," Scarlett admitted as she hung her head. "I just want to move on with my life, and forget all of this happened, to be honest," she frowned.

"That's okay, I understand," Randy embraced her as Scarlett rested her head in the crook of his neck. "Whenever you're ready, you know I'm here for you," he pulled her in tighter. "I love you Scarlett," he breathed down her back, "I really do, and I hope you know that."

"I love you too," Scarlett whispered as she suppressed the tears forming in her eyes. She didn't know the future held, but she knew that right now, Randy was the only one she wanted to be with.
