I woke up and felt for Spencer. Except he wasn't there. My eyes shot open and I sat up. "Spencer?!" I call.

I stand from the bed and instantly look down when I step on something.

I grab the piece of paper from under my foot.

Dear scarlet, when you wake I'll be gone. I don't know any other way to tell you this, but I cheated on you, and im so so sorry and I love you so fucking much. and as much as I don't want to do this, and I know it's going to break your heart but I have to let you go.

My hands start trembling and tears fall from my eyes. I never thought this was happen. How could he cheat? He never had time to, we were always together.

I read the last of the note.

I love you. There's an arrow telling me to flip it over. I flip it over and more words are written on the back.

Just kidding im out getting coffee I'll be back in a few I love you.

I wipe the tears with the back of my hand, pulling out my phone.

absolutely loooooved your note. thanks for making me cry. xo - I messaged to Spencer.

I never got a reply back. He didn't even read the message.

Hours later and I'm pacing back and forth around the living room, waiting for the door to open and to see Spencer standing there with two coffees.

But it never came, nearly half an hour later, my phone rang. I didn't wait to see who it was before accepting the call.

"Hello?!" I rush

"Scarlet? Is this scarlet?" The voice was unfamiliar.

"Yes- yes who is this?"

"This is Luke, you got your tattoo and piercing at my shop the other day, I'm on Spencer's phone, I'm afraid something bad has happened and I need you to come to the hospital-" I cut him off.

"What happened? Is he okay?" I grab my car keys to the car I bought not long ago.

"No-"

"I'll be right there" I hang up

I couldn't care less that I was almost naked, but I could get in trouble, so I grabbed one of Spencer's button ups, buttoning it up on the way out the door.

I run to my car, not bothering to buckle up. I speed to the hospital.

I run up to the lady behind the counter. "Is Spencer Willow here?" I remember the last time I was here.

Amber was in the hospital. In a coma.

"Room 104" I run down the hallway, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103-

I run into the room and Spencer lays there helpless on the bed, Luke sitting in the chair next to him.

"Luke," my voice cracks. Never have I ever thought I would find Spencer resting in a hospital bed.

"Scarlet." Luke stands from the chair and pulls me into his arms. "The doctor, he talked to me, and he said Spencer won't remember anything."

I stare up at Luke, his face blurry from my tears. I open my mouth, but no words come out.

"He probably won't even remember who we are," he frowns. "Nothing. He'll remember nothing. The doctor said we're gonna have to work with him to remember everything." He runs his hands up and down my back in a comforting way.

~ few days later ~

Luke and I have been in this hospital for days upon end, awaiting for the waking of Spencer.
