Scarlett's POV

"Y/n?" I question. My head is still quite fuzzy since the incident, I feel as though I don't remember anything or anyone. I try to turn my body to sit up, taking my time as my abdomen is still in a lot of pain.

I take a few deep breaths in and out, mentally applauding myself for moving myself independently with no assistance.
Y/n shifts slightly, making her way into the room a little bit at a time. I sigh, offering a small smile.

"You're allowed to come in you know." I state, wanting to break the awkward silence. Y/n makes eye contact with me before smiling slightly.
"I feel as though I don't deserve to.." She reveals. I frown at the comment and gesture for her to sit at the chair near my bed - where Rose had left it when she visited me. Y/n obliges and sits down.

"Now why would you think you don't deserve to be here?" I ask confused. Y/n looks down to her hands on her lap.
"I left. That night when you- I just.. left." She mumbles, barely loud enough for me to hear. I sigh, reaching over to grab ahold of her hand. Y/n hesitates for a moment before allowing the gesture.

"You're here now." I say softly. We look into each others eyes for a brief moment before Y/n snaps out and gets up from her seat.

"Oh uh I got these for you." She reveals, picking up a bouquet of flowers from a table near the door. She walks towards me, handing them to me. I look at the flowers and notice how they're my favourites - Roses and Cosmos. I take in their scents before looking up to Y/n, smiling from ear to ear.

"My favourites! How did you know?" I ask, trying to think back to a previous conversation where I may have mentioned something.
"Uh a certain blonde helped me out." Y/n confesses. I laugh, knowing exactly who she's talking about.

Y/n takes the bouquet and places it on a table that's already covered with gifts, cards and flowers from my friends and family. Thankfully the media hasn't caught wind of the events of the last few days yet, so i've been able to heal in peace.

"So where is everyone? Rose, Chris and Flo?" Y/n questions as she sits back in her seat, moving the chair slightly closer.
"Chris came early this morning with Rose before he took her to school and he went to work, and Flo is in London." I explain. I shift slightly in my position, feeling some discomfort in my abdomen.
"What's wrong? Are you in pain? Should I call for the doctor? We need a doctor in here!" Y/n yells panicked.

Y/n's POV

"We need a doctor in here!" I yell towards the door, hoping someone hears me. As I was about to yell again, I feel a hand hold onto my arm. I look down seeing Scarlett teary eyed.
"Hey, hey what's wrong?" I question, a wave of worry fill my head.
"Don't worry, it's just a bit of pain. Nothing major." Scarlett rubs my forearm with her thumb, easing the worry in me.

"I'm sorry I left Scarlett." I apologise, feeling so incredibly guilty. Scarlett gives me a small smile, continuing to rub her thumb against my forearm.
"You don't have to apologise Y/n. But if you don't mind me asking.. why did you?" Scarlett looks at me with wonder, waiting patiently for my response.

Now how the hell do I answer this?

I take a deep breath before trying to form some words together.
"I was engaged.." I begin. I look up to Scarlett, seeing her mouth open slightly in shock. I try to continue my explanation.
"He wasn't a good man. He was an alcoholic and would hurt me. A lot." I sigh trying to keep myself from crying. Scarlett notices and offers to hold my hand which I gladly accept. She squeezes my hand as a way to comfort me.

"There was this one time he hurt me so bad I ended up unconscious and in hospital, with a low chance of survival.." I reveal.
"Oh Y/n.." Scarlett begins. Without warning, Scarlett pulls me into a hug. I hug her back, trying not to hurt her. We pull apart moments later and Scarlett allows me to continue to speak.

"I guess seeing you in that situation just brought back the memories of it all. I'm sorry Scarlett, I truly didn't want to leave you but I couldn't bare it." I feel tears fall down my cheeks as I continue to apologise. Scarlett wipes the tears from my cheeks giving me a sad smile.
"I had no idea, i'm so sorry Y/n that you had to go through that." Scarlett tries to soothe.

Not long after, I finally calm down. Scarlett and I catch up on everything from the past few days.
"So i've been trying to put together all the pieces from that day. Maybe you could help me out?" Scarlett asks looking up at me hopeful. I nod, getting comfortable in my seat.
"So one minute i'm in the Courthouse then the next minute i'm laying in a hospital bed. What happened in between?" Scarlett explains. I think back to that horrible day, trying to remember the moments before finding Scarlett's body.
"Well I turned up to the Courthouse wanting to support you.." I reveal as I know Scarlett didn't know that. She looks up at me and smiles.
"Flo told me she couldn't find you so we went searching and.. I found you in the restroom on the floor." I explain.

The room filled with silence as neither myself or Scarlett spoke for a while, until Scarlett broke the silence.
"Y-you were the one who found me?" She barely whispers out. I look at her slightly confused.
"I thought you knew?" Scarlett shakes her head 'no' sighing. Fuck I feel so bad now.
"I had no idea. No wonder you left.." I laugh slightly at the comment, in an attempt to lighten up the mood.

"Thank you for saving my life." Scarlett stays softly, looking deep into my eyes.

I don't even realise how close I am to Scarlett until I feel her breaths against my face.
"I'll do it again, again and again. Always." I admit. I look up to her emerald eyes, down at her plump lips, before back up to her eyes.

My body takes over control as I begin moving forward, until i'm a mere few centimetres away from her face. I hear her breath hitch, I couldn't help but smirk seeing the affect I have on her. Scarlett tilts her head slightly and closes her eyes, I assume she wants me to make the first move. Without a second thought, I close my eyes and lean in slowly, our lips meet in a soft, tender kiss. Scarlett cups my cheek as she deepens the kiss. Moments later, we pull apart. I couldn't help but plaster a big smile on my face. Scarlett notices and laughs, caressing my cheek.

"You have no idea how long i've waited for that." Scarlett confesses. I blush at her comment, mentally kicking myself for being affected by her like this. We stay in a comfortable silence for a while, neither of us wanting to say anything to ruin this moment.

A/n This is my apology for the depressing last few chapters :)
