Come back to me-Gracie Abrams

chapter 35

Scarlets POV-

I've been in a rehab facility for about two weeks now. Gracie came by the first two days I came in but now she hasn't came since. Sab, Mia, and my brother come and visit me basically every day. It sucks not seeing Gracie but I know she needs space. At first I was a little angry that she decided to take a break from me or whatever but being alone with my thoughts made me realize it was me that really did it and not her.

"hey, you have a visitor named Olivia. Is it alright to let her in?" A nurse said opening my door.

"uh yes, thank you." I said smiling at her.

She nodded and closed the door. I'm just wondering why Olivia is here, yes we're friends but she's mostly more of gracies friend.

I heard a knock on the door and got up and opened it.

"hi scar." she said with a small smile.

"hey, come in." I said moving out of the way.

I closed the door and we both sat down on my bed.

"how are you doing?" she asked.

"honestly, I'm doing okay but the first few days the withdrawals were a little bad. Um is everything okay?" I asked looking at her.

"yes I just wanted to come check on you. I know we really only talk or hang out with Grac- shit sorry." she said putting her hand on her face.

"you're good. Thank you for coming to check on me, i'm really doing better and I know i've only been here two weeks but I feel better. They have good therapists here and talking about everything has been helping." I said.

She smiled at me and nodded.

"I'm proud of you scar." she said.

"thank you liv." I said smiling at her.

I obviously couldn't get gracie out of my head though.

"is she doing okay?" I said looking at her.

She put her head down and then looked back at me.

"she thinks you'll hate her when you get out of here. I was um actually just with her and seeing her that way made me want to come see you just to make sure you were okay. You guys love eachother so much and I hate to see what's happening right now." she said.

"I could never hate her but why won't she come see me?" I asked, fidgeting with my fingers.

"I think she's just scared. she really loves you scar but seeing you in here really breaks her heart even more than it is now but um, how many weeks do you have left?" she asked changing the subject.

I sighed with a smile.

"two weeks left unless I feel like I can't leave yet then they'll let me stay for as long as I feel like I need to stay. " I said looking at her.

She smiled and nodded.

"i'm always a call away if anything, okay? I need to get to the studio otherwise I would have stayed longer but scar, you're both gonna get through this and it's gonna be okay." she said standing up.

I nodded at her and then we hugged each other and the nurse came to let her out.

—

It's been 2 days since Olivia has came to see me or anyone, everyone has been busy but they've called to check on me so I wasn't completely with no contact.

My room door opened as I was drinking water from my cup. I turned around and saw Gracie standing there with the nurse.

"I'll leave you two alone. Dinner is in an hour scarlet I'll come by to get you." the nurse said smiling and walking out.

The door closed and I just stared at Gracie as she looked down at her shoes.

"i'm sor-"

Before she could get anything else out I immediately walked closer to her and wrapped my arms around her. It didn't even take a second for her to hug me back.

I backed away and we stared in each other's eyes. I gave her a small smile and took her hand and walked her over to my bed to sit.

"are you okay?" I asked.

"i'm sorry for not coming to see you its just so hard and i'm not sure on what to do. I want you to come home with me it's so hard not having you there." she said with her eyes getting watery.

I put my hand on her cheek and rubbed it.

"it's okay. hey I love you and i'm getting better. i'll be back home soon and we can talk about everything." I said.

"I don't want to be broken up scarlet but a part of me feels like I can't trust you." she said.

I looked at her and watched as she cried more. It's my fault why she feels this way and I know I need to fix that.

"I understand gracie and you have every right to feel that way. I lied to you and that's my fault and only my fault but I love you and I promise you i'm doing this so I can not only be a better person but a better girlfriend for you." I said.

she nodded and wrapped her arms around me.

"how are you doing? is everything okay here? do you feel safe?" she asked as I held her.

"i'm okay and yes everything is going great here and yes I feel safe. I go to therapy every two days and it helps a lot more than I thought it would and it feels good to let everything out. They said when I leave they'll help me with finding a good therapist so I can still have help. I'm starting to feel like me again" I said looking down at her.

"i'm so proud of you. I know it's not easy but you're doing it and that's all that matters." she said smiling.

I put my hand on her cheek and just looked at her keeping eye contact.

"I've missed staring into those eyes." I said.

"stop." she said,looking down blushing.

"look at me. you're my pretty girl always no matter what." I said.

She looked up at me and smiled and then kissed me. I put my hands on her waist pulling her in closer as we began to make out, she gently bit my bottom lip allowing herself to slip her tongue in my mouth but then she back away breathing heavily.

"fuck i'm sorry." she said looking down.

"shut up." I said, smiling.

I gently pushed her down on the bed and got on top of her and began kissing her again.

"i miss you having your way with me." she said breathing heavily as I kissed her neck.

"stay quiet for me then, my love." I said smiling and kissing her gently.

"I love you." she said, breathing heavily.

"I love you." I said.

She pulled me down, kissing me again.
