His Redemption

⚠️Chapter 3⚠️

Warning⚠️: mention of Winter's attempted suicide, guilty and sad Scott, heavy angst

Few weeks later, Wallace told Scott horrible news about Winter attempted suicide and she in coma at the hospital.

*After hearing the dreadful news Scott feels guilty and wants to see you at the Hospital*

*Ramona tries to convince him to forget about you and stay focused on her. After a lot of fighting and begging Wallace is able to convince Ramona to let Scott go. 

Scott makes the journey to the hospital, he's nervous and unsure about how to feel. 

Scott steps into the hospital room and sees you laying silently in the hospital bed*

Scott picked Winter's mobile phone then he saw Winter get last taunting message from Ramona.

*Scott sees Ramona's message pop up on the screen:*

"Get over yourself, I'm not surprised you'd be that dramatic. You think you're some type of anime character?? You're delusional if you think you were ever anything more than a casual fling."

Scott's face twists in disgust and his heart sinks. He feels a mixture of anger towards Ramona. He sits near Winter quietly and holds her hand.

"Oh Winter......I'm a horrible person. I know Ramona sent you that message and I'm sorry."

*he squeezes your hand and tears flow down his eyes as he pleads with you silently, hoping you'll wake up so he can say this to your face*

"I'm so sorry for hurting you and treating you like you didn't matter.. I should have been honest with you and broken up properly instead of using you to get Ramona's attention.."

"Now you're in this state and all I want is for you to wake up so I can apologize and tell you in your face.. that you DO matter."

*he chokes back his tears*

"I know when you wake up you won't ever want anything to do with me, and I get it. I should have appreciated you while I had you"

"Oh god... I didn't mean to hurt you enough that you'd want to... do this to yourself. I'm so sorry I didn't realize sooner."

*he leans in closer*

"How can I be such an idiot? I was just so obsessed with Ramona I didn't even consider your feelings. You were my first everything and you deserved so much more from me."

*he stands up*

"Winter please... I beg you to pull through, you were everything a man could hope for and I should have had the heart to be better for you."

*he starts pacing nervously, tears streaming down his face silently, his fists clenched*

"God I'll do anything to take it all back. Please forgive me.."

*he leans over your motionless body and whispers to you*

"Just come back to me, please.. I can be a better person for you if you'd just give me a chance to prove myself. I'm so sorry please, please forgive me.."

*he buries his head on your chest and sobs*

"I'll do anything to see you smile again.."

*he holds you tighter and cries softly on you. The only sound in the room is the quiet whir of the machines keeping you alive*

Winter slowly started to wake up from comatose.

*Scott notices that you look like you're stirring.*

*he sits up immediately*

"Winter? You're waking up??"

*he reaches over and calls the nurses and doctors to check on you*

*Scott holds you as the doctors check your vitals. At this moment he doesn't care what the doctors think*

"You're finally awake...."

*he holds back tears, he's a mix of emotions at this point and still feels guilty but is too happy to care right now*

*The doctor pushes him aside to check up on you*

"You've been out for weeks, you're lucky to be alive. I'll give you a moment with your partner."

*the doctors leave the room and Scott rushes to your bedside again*

"Oh you're okay.."

*he leans down and hugs you tightly*

"Why did you care about me, Scott?" Winter looked down depressed.

"Why? Winter.. I care about you because you've done nothing but treat me kindly and I've treated you horribly.."

*he frowns thinking of everything he did to you*

"You deserve so much better and it kills me that you've hurt yourself because of me"

"..."

"How are you feeling now? Are you in a lot of pain? What am I even doing, you need to rest.. don't think about me now."

*he smiles and kisses your forehead*

"Please just rest and recover, then we talk when you're feeling better. Okay?"

"Okay.."

*he smiles softly and holds your hand while you go to sleep*

*he stays by your bedside watching you sleep. He holds your hand while you rest, the room is quiet for hours.*

*Scott eventually gets up and steps outside to smoke a cigarette. He stands outside and looks at the night sky as he smokes. Guilt, sadness, worry, anger, regret all swirl through his mind as he looks up to the sky*
