I am yours. {#Wattys2016}

Avi POV

I was awake. And I didn't want to be. I didn't want to be awake nor alive because why live if all you feel is pain?

I sat on the hospital bed just staring into space when I heard a knocking at the door. "Mr Kaplan?" The doctor called me. "How are we feeling?"

"Good, I guess" I answered.

"You have a visitor." He informed me. My heart did a little jump and a smile crept up on my face. Someone actually came to see me.

Once I saw who it was, my smile faded. Who other than Scott would come and see me? I mean was I really excepting anyone else? I didn't know anybody else.

The doctor left the room, leaving me alone with Scott. He looked nervous.

He slowly walked towards the chair which was next to the bed. He sat down. "Hey." is all he said.

"Hi" I responded. There was an awkward silence. Neither of us knew what to say.

"Avi, I'm so sorry" He finally spoke in a saddened tone of voice. "I should never of let this happen to you. I was being a huge asshole and I forgot about our friendship all because I was lonely. I didn't mean to be insensitive. And all I want is for you to forgive me" I looked at him and then looked away. "Please say something" He begged.

I looked back at him with a single tear rolling down my cheek. "You hurt me, Scott" I finally spoke. I looked over at him and saw that guilt was slowly consuming him. "You knew how I felt about all of this but clearly didn't care"

"I know and I'm really sorry about that. My mind wasn't in the right place" I rolled my eyes in disbelief. "Listen. I know you don't want to hear this but I got lonely and I just wanted someone" He raised his voice a little.

"Well Scott, try being lonely for nearly half of your life. I've had nobody. I've only had the company of my own mind and I absolutely hate it." I raised my voice at him. "With you, I finally had someone in my company. I was actually convinced that I wasn't going to be lonely anymore. Then you did this and hu-"

"I left Mitch" He cut me off quickly.

"W-What?" I stuttered with confusion.

"I left Mitch" He repeated. A little smile came on my face but I forced it to falter.

"Well-" I started. The sound of door opening, cut me off. The doctor came into the room.

"Mr Hoying, can I speak to you for a second?" He called to Scott.

Scott looked at me and stood up and walked out of the room.
