How?

I decided to bike back home after spending a few hours at the park. 

My dad should be at least calm by now, hopefully. 

As my bike turned the corner of my neighbourhood, I heard a bunch of screams.

I peddled faster and stopped at Scott's home.

Dad laid there with a bloody nose and a few bruises on his body.

I threw the bike on Scott's yard.

"Dad?!" I frantically said, rushing towards him.

Yoko held onto my dad's head, as mum was cleaning his wounds.

"What 'appened?" I said, getting scared.

"We've got to go to the hospital" Mum said, panicking.

My eyes went wide, "Why mum? Where's Scottie?!" I asked, looking around.

"Scott's in the hospital, love.. Just go. Yoko, stay with John. I'll go take Julia to the hospital." Mum said, getting up.

Yoko nodded as she cleaned the rest of his wounds.

My heart was racing as mum and I rushed into the car.

She started the car up and drove quickly to the hospital.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mum walked down the hallway towards Scott's room.

While I ran past mum and rushed into his room.

"Scott?!" I said, panicking.

"Julia..?" A tired voice called from the corner.

I gasped as I rushed to Scott's side.

"Scottie? Oh my god.. What 'appened?!" I said, tearing up.

Scott's face was stitched up with a few bruises on his body. Scott's right arm and left ankle's broken.

Scott coughed as he gently caressed my face.

"I'm so glad yer 'ear.." Scott let out a weak smile.

I gently planted a kiss on his forehead.

"Scott, darling... What 'appened?" I quietly asked.

Scott cleared his throat, "Ya left for a good reason, 'cause it would've been ya instead of me..." He gently said.

I bit my lip, trying not to cry.

"I tried to beat him off of me, Julia.. I never meant to hurt yer father b-"

"Love, ya didn't 'urt 'im like he 'urt ya.." I gently said, caressing his face.

Scott smirked, "He kept saying how dare I touch 'is daughter, as he punched me and kicked me. He was very angry, Jules. I think he still is." Scott weakly said.

I bit my lip again.

"Don't cry, love... I'm alive." Scott gently said.

I broke down into tears as I gently held onto Scott.

"Oh, but he could've killed ya!" I sobbed.

"I'm alive, Julia.." He softly said.

"I'm alive." Scott kept saying.

I shook my head, "I don't regret lovin' ya" Scott smirked.

I looked at Scott, "Good.." I sniffled.

Scott moved my hair to one side, "For the first time in me life, I can remember one drunk life.. And it 'appened to be lovin' ya.." Scott gazed into my eyes.

I softly chuckled.

Scott's room opened, dad entered in the room.

I let go of Scott as I stood up.

"What are ya doing 'ere?" I coldly said, scowling at my father.

"Scott, I'm sorry" Dad gently said, looking at Scott.

I shook my head, walking up to my dad, "Yer not sorry" I said, lightly pushing my dad.

"YER NOT SORRY! HOW COULD YA FUCKIN' BE SORRY!? IT SURE DIDN'T SEEM THAT WAY!" I yelled.

"I was only trying to protect ya, Julia" Dad said.

"I love Scott! DEAL WITH IT! WHAT THE 'ELL WERE YA TRYING TO PROTECT ME FROM?!" I shouted.

Dad tried to hold onto my hands, "I don't want history to repeat itself, Juli-"

I slapped his hands away, "Like what? Ya think I'll make the same mistake ya did? By getting pregnant and going to drugs?! I'm not the female ya, dad" I spat at his face.

"If I get pregnant then I'll love that kid more than ya ever loved me" I harshly said.

Dad looked at me with pain, "Julia.." He softly said.

"I want you out of 'ere.." I softly said.

Dad looked at me oddly, "What?" He whispered, his eyes becoming glassy.

"Ya 'eard me." I spat.

"I WANT YA FUCKIN' OUT OF 'ERE! OUT OF THIS 'OSPITAL! OUT OF MY HOUSE! OUT OF MY FUCKIN' LIFE!" I pounded on my dad's chest as I started to cry.

"YA BASTARD!! JUST GET OUT!!" I pushed him to the ground.

"Julia, I-"

"GET OUT!!!" I shouted.

Dad sighed, a few tears fell from his eyes.

He bit his lip, "Fine, I'll get out." He harshly said.

"But I'm not leaving ya.." Dad said, getting out of the room.

I covered my mouth as I turned around, facing Scott.

I slowly shook my head.

"Julia.." Scott cooed.

"No, Scott." I said.

"He was gonna leave anyway.." I gently said.

"That man might as well 'ave left today." I said, crossing my arms.

I looked at Scott, "He shouldn't 'ave done this to ya."

"Julia, he was just looking out for ya" Scott gently said.

I shook my head, "I don't care, he doesn't 'ave the right. My mum does." I harshly said.

Scott sighed, "I hate seeing ya like this, love." 

"I do too, Scott. Now that he's gone, we can live our lives normally again. I promise ya that." I said.

Scott bit his lip, "As long as I'm with ya..." He smirked.

I softly chuckled, "As long as I'm with ya" I said back to him.

I knelt down beside Scott.

"About kids.." Scott said.

I started blushing, "Oh.. Um.." I said, getting embarrassed.

"I wouldn't mind either, but we should be careful" Scott chuckled.

I laughed, "I was just tryin' to make a point"

Scott smirked, "I know, but I could tell ya meant it." He said, gently caressing my face.

"You'd be a great mum" Scott smiled at me.

I blushed, "Stop, it's about the music right now.." I smirked.

Scott chuckled, "It's also about my love for ya" Scott softly said.

Scott leaned closer to me, but softly winced in pain.

Scott laid back down on his back.

"Be careful" I cooed.

I leaned in and kissed Scott's lips passionately.

"Is that what ya wanted?" I bit my lip.

Scott smirked, "I wish I could 'ave more than that" Scott said, playing with my bra strap.

I gently swatted his hand away, "You've gotta wait a little more since yer broken" I smirked.

Scott pouted, "I know.."

I chuckled, kissing his lips again.
