My Terror Twin And I

For the best i guess.

*Nine days later bens pov*

I slouched by scars bedside.

The heart monitor was beeping steadily thank god, we nearly lost her yesterday.

I looked at her frail body, she wasn't a skinny girl, she was a lovely healthy weight, but her face was sunken and seemed so frail. The purple bags under her eyes disguised her long lashes.

I just prayed that her eyes would flick open and she would give me the look I had grown to love. But her eyes remained shut. I took her cold hand and ran my finger along the drip that sat in it, pumping blood and nutrients into her helpless body. I sighed and turned her arm over. She had a white bandage thing stuck on both arms, from her elbow to her wrist. The doctors said she had caused a lot of damage. She'd have to stay in on suicide watch if she woke up.

If.. I hated how the doctors used that

"If she lives" "if she wakes up" if...

I refused to believe there was an option.

I hadn't eaten in the days I was here. I spent every single day by her side, talking to her, holding her. I just wished she would wake up.

The happy nurse I'd grown fond of strolled in.

"Hello Benjamin! Just doing a dressing change" she chirped with a grin

I hadn't seen under her bandages yet.

The nurse happily hummed a song while carefully removing the dressing from Scarlett's right arm.

Underneath were at least forty thick cuts, about one third of them had staples and the rest had stitches. The other arm was much the same.

The nurse carefully added new dressings and smiled at Scarlett.

"She fluttered her eyes the other day" the nurse smiled

A grin spread across my face

"Really?" I yelled excitedly

"Yep really, there's a good chance she'll be awake In the next few days" smiled the nurse before leaving the room.

She returned a minute or two later with a tray, one like they'd give a patient with food. She set it down in front of me with a smile.

"You need to eat" she simply smiled and walked out.

I picked at my food, slowly getting used to eating again.

I shut my eyes and placed my head on the bed next to Scarlett's hand. I ran my finger up and down the backside of her arm.

"Scar I love you so much. I don't care about anything in the world other than you waking up." The tears started streaming as I held her hand

"I want you to know how sorry I am scar, I shouldn't have done what I did. I shouldn't have just thrown you away baby!" I sobbed into the bed

"Scar I fucking need you! Please baby id do anything for you to wake up! I don't care what you want from me, if you want me to leave forever or if you want the whole world I'd do it" I sobbed hysterically

"Scarlett my angel, please come back to me.. Please! I love you so much and I hate myself every day for what I did.. I can't sleep or eat or do anything. As soon as you're awake I'm going back to my self destruction. I just need to see your eyes one more time.. I need to hear your voice.. I just need you scar! Please!" I basically whispered now, through my sobs. I squeezed her hand only to have the squeeze returned.

My eyes met hers.

Scarlett had opened her eyes

"Scar baby" I cried, cradling her face in my hands

She looked at me and blinked a few times before smiling very slightly.

"I knew I was going to end up in hell, but I expected more fire, not a lame hospital" she quietly laughed

Been awake for less than a minute and she's already back.

I held her hand and looked at her bandage awkwardly

"Oh yeah sorry for the blood in your house" she mumbled

"How'd I get here?" She asked

"The blood is fine, I found you and called an ambulance" I said carefully

Please please don't bring up that night

"Oh so Megan took a break from sitting on your dick then" she scowled

"Scarl-" i started

"No ben. No excuses. I knew your intentions. Staring at Megan all night "oh a threesome would be a cool idea" then literally just fucking my best friend while I was "asleep" next to you? That's low. For both of you. Six times Benjamin. What the hell were you thinking...? Even if you had intended a threesome that's not how it works. You're actually meant to touch your girlfriend too not wait for her to go to sleep so you can fuck her best friend" Scarlett spat angrily

I looked down in shame.

"You fucked Danny" I mumbled

"I did not ben. I was too wasted to even move. I just laid there. Danny fucked me. He took advantage of me!" She snapped

"We really aren't right for eachother.. Fuck I love you but you're like a poison.." She sighed

I hung my head awkwardly and sobbed.

"I got you this.." I mumbled, handing her a small flat box.

Scar weakly opened it to reveal the silver chain with a ruby heart.

She smiled weakly at it.

"I had a feeling you'd be leaving me.. So I wanted to give you my heart because I guess you're taking it with you wherever you go" I sobbed

I turned to leave the room but Scarlett grabbed me softly

"Good bye for now but not forever. We'll be friends and see what the future holds.. When we're older and wiser. I'll always love you" she spoke with a shaky voice as she kissed me gently.

"I'll always love you" I whispered as I left the hospital
