We Come Alive 5

Epilogue: Andrew Scott

Andrew Scott

After coming home from the near cross country trip, he had to explain to his fiancée Madison why he disappeared for an entire weekend. Madison was confused at first, but ultimately wasn't too upset since she used the time to work on her cosmetology school work.

His and Madison's relationship continued and even developed further when the two got married in a court house later that summer. Their witnesses were her sister Avery, his cousin Adam, and both of their parents. Andrew later saved up after working all summer and between his school work and football college career, with the help of Avery working at a salon, to give them both the wedding they truly wanted that spring;

Andrew let out a deep breath when he turned to the entrance of the room and saw Madison walking down the aisle in her wedding dress. She smiled back with tears welling in her eyes as she held onto her dad's arm and gripped her bouquet.

Her dress was strapless with flower details on the top and spreading out towards the bottom. Her skirt was flowing and made a natural train as she walked towards him. When she reached her husband, Andrew couldn't hold back his tears.

Throughout the entire ceremony he was full of light and all smiles. He was full of life and couldn't keep his eyes off the woman he loved. When it came time to seal the ceremony with a kiss, Andrew couldn't hear Stephen and Ricky behind him as his best man and one of few groomsmen respectively cheering and clapping for them.

By his senior year, Andrew was still hopeful for an NFL call while Madison was carrying out another one of their dreams; opening up her own beauty salon while being pregnant with their first child. They had a daughter named Lisa Jia Scott.

Andrew was the first in his family to graduate from college, a huge accomplishment that was soon overruled by the deep depression he fell in after not being drafted into the NFL. He had an overwhelming feeling that if it wasn't for him tearing his ACL, he could've made it

Once getting back on his feet with the help of his wife, daughter, and their son on the way, Andrew took his college degree and becomes a trainer for a local high school. He slowly over a few years works his way up the ranks until he finds himself working as an athletic trainer for the NFL, more specifically the Dallas cowboys.

Andrew moved back to north Texas where him and Madison live on with their two children;

Andrew closed his car door after parking in the driveway. He turned the engine off and looked at his home through the windshield. It wasn't a one floor, two or three bedroom home with eleven people living inside. It was a two story, three bedroom, three bathroom house that he and Madison found and fell in love with instantly.

Andrew got out of the car and was about to just walk into the house and greet Madison that way, but his heartbeat raced when he saw Lisa and his son, who they nicknamed Lee, running towards him, ending their game of soccer in the backyard. Andrew smiled widely as he leaned down and scooped them both up in his arms. He answered all their millions of questions that popped in their heads seeing their father come home as he walked inside with them.

When he got inside, he set them down and allowed them to follow him as he went to the kitchen where Madison was walking towards him, ready to greet him.

"Hey, how was work?" She smiled, holding her arms out.

Andrew smiled back, placing a strong arm around her waist and kissing her, her arms falling around her neck. They smiled to themselves hearing their children become disgusted and leave.

"It was good." Andrew answered. "What about you? How was your day at work?"

Madison just shrugged, staring at her husband, admiring him. "It was fine. Nothing eventful. I was just about to cook dinner. Any requests?"

Andrew nodded his head, slowly letting her go as he looked around the corner to the living room where the children were playing. "How about we go out tonight? As a family?"

Madison smiled widely hearing that, but nodded her head as she looked at their son Lee playing running around the living room with his toy truck. He stopped when he got to a picture of Andrew and Madison when they were in high school.

"Maybe he'll be a football player." Madison whispered, watching Lee stare at the picture in curiosity then run off again.

Andrew snickered. "God, I hope not." He sighed. "I don't know if I can go through what I saw on the field in the stands with my kid down there. It's a different territory now."

Madison rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek. "You relax then we can go out. Just tell me when you're ready."

Right before she could disappear off into their house, Andrew grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "You know I love you right?" He asked.

Madison ran her thumb over her wedding ring. "You've mentioned it once or twice." She replied sarcastically, slipping her hand out of his grip and leaving the kitchen.

Andrew walked into the living room and sat on the couch to watch a kid's show with his pride and joys; him being happy that he got the life he always strived for.
