You're the Light That Guides Me Out (Scallison)

I Try

"Sweetheart," my dad says as he walks into the kitchen. He looks down at the counter filled with food. "What's all this for?"

"Scott's gonna be in the hospital for the rest of the week and then he'll be on bed rest. Hospital food is disgusting. So I made all of his favorites. Including a chocolate mousse cheese cake."

"It all looks delicious. I'm sure he'll really appreciate it."

My mom jogs downstairs and says "Let's bring this over to him. He's probably starving."

"Thanks mom."

When we got to the hospital, Cora, Kira, and Lydia had bags of food with them as they sat around Scott's hospital bed.

Scott laughs. "You all are trying to make me fat. Do you know how hard it'll be for me to get back into shape after all this food?"

Cora then says "I'll drag you for runs and the guys will take you to the gym so you can lift weights. We won't deprive the world of your abs."

Lydia then says "You should have cheese cake. I made your favorite. Chocolate mousse cheese cake. Eat up."

Kira then says "No, he should have chicken noodle soup. It's his favorite."

Cora shakes her head. "You two are being ridiculous arguing over this. You're both wrong. He should have the grilled chicken I made. It's seasoned with lemon and it's his favorite."

The three started shouting at each other and I sat beside Scott and started feeding him the chocolate chip pancakes I made him.

"Thanks beautiful," he says once he's done chewing.

"Anytime handsome."

Scott kisses me quickly as the girls argued in the background. When we pulled away, Scott turns toward them.

"Guys. Guys. Guys!"

"What," the three of them shouted at the same time.

Scott gestures to the plate of pancakes I was holding. "I'm eating my favorite pancakes."

Lydia then says "Right. It's early morning. What was I thinking of serving you dessert first."

"You were thinking that I'm like a brother to you and that you want me to get better and not be fed terrible food. You all had great intentions but attacking each other isn't gonna do anything. I love you all the same."

Cora, Lydia, and Kira tear up slightly and hug him.

"My boyfriend," I say in a mocking tone. They all move to hug me and I laugh.

Kira then says "He's all yours. Don't worry."

"You're the only girl for me," Scott says as he leans in to kiss me again.

"Good," I say before kissing him.

'Scotty," Stiles cheered as he walked in with a takeout bag. "I got you four containers of curly fries. Who is your favorite person?"

"Allison."

"That's right, it's..." Stiles stops. "Did you just say Allison? I brought curly fries! The food of the gods! What does Allison have that I don't?"

"My heart."

Stiles grips his chest. "Does this mean it's over between us? After all these years? Don't do this to me. I don't think I can go on without you."

"You're strong," Scott says just as dramatically. "You'll pull through this. I was never good enough for you anyway."

Stiles wipes a fake tear. "Fine. Just know I'll always love you."
