I am yours. {#Wattys2016}

34.

two days later...

Avi POV

I was finally able to go home. Too bad I would be going back to my apartment full of loneliness. I would actually prefer to stay in hospital. At least I wouldn't be alone.

Scott didn't even bother to come and get me. Some best friend. I mean it would've been nice to have him take me home. But what was I honestly expecting?

I ordered an uber and went home. It was a long journey from the hospital but I endured it, with my thoughts.

I paid the uber and got out of the car. I sluggishly walked to my apartment. I couldn't believe I was back at this place after everything that I could sort of remember happening.

I opened the door to have a warm gust of air hit me. My apartment has never been warm. I opened it a little wider and things seemed brighter. Everything was clean and neat. Cleaner than I left it. It reminded me of when I first got the apartment.

All of a sudden, Scott, popped out of a room and wrapped his hands around me. "Welcome back!" He shouted happily. I smiled a little. "I would've come to get you but I thought this way was better"

"I-I" I was honestly speechless. I didn't even expect any of this. I just smiled because my heart felt warm and I actually felt cared for. He may have made me feel hurt, but he actually cared for me which happened to override the hurt I had towards him. I lunged into his arms a held him as tight as I could. Tears began falling out of my eyes. Not tears of sadness, but tears of happiness. I was genuinely full of glee.

"W-Why are you crying?" His tone softened as he asked.

"It's just that...no one has ever done anything like this for me" I sobbed into his chest. There was just a lot of emotion pouring out of me all at once. "You actually care about me" I sniffled.

"Of course I do, Avi" He smiled. He rubbed my back softly, calming me down.
"Now, I have to tell you that the doctor informed me that I must always be with you, so I have moved myself into your apartment. Is that ok with you?" He asked me. I nodded in response because I couldn't form words.

I was finally going to have someone around me. Someone who I cared about and who cared about.

I was finally experiencing the emotion I had always aimed for.

Happiness.

And it was fucking sweet.
