The Story Of Us

A wish

With closed eyes, the both of you wished something for forever. Cuddling in the middle of nowhere, under the moonlight and the starry night sky, where the both of you watch the meteor shower.

A ghost smiles is present on both of your face, breathing calmly, as the both of you felt so contented. You thought her eyes are close, but then once you decided to open your eyes, after wishing for something you're scared to never have, you are met with Scarlett's glimmering eyes, shining as she stared at your face, a genuine lovely smile, with eyes that is full of love, you became shy for a second, before telling her,

"You're a creep." You teased, but she only chuckled lowly, before putting a kiss on your forehead, then your nose, and lastly to your lips.

"I'm not. I'm just simply admiring, sweetheart." She said, giving you a sly smile, you just shook your head, shooting her a tight smile, before looking at her eyes.

"What did you wished for?" Your doe eyes was filled with curiosity.

"Nothing." She said, which made you frowned.

"What? Why?" You ask.

"Because everything i have wished for is already in my arms." She said, making you blush and hide your face on her neck.

"You're too cheesy, Johansson." You said, laughing quietly, still trying to hide your flattered face from her gaze.

"Only for you."

"Here you go, Scarlett." The sound of your dad's voice went through her ears, causing her to snap out from the memory.

"Thank you, Pa." She said, and took the cup of tea your dad, John, gave her.

"So, your decision is finally made, is it?" You father ask, as the both of them look at the scenery infront of your balcony.

"Yes, it is." Scarlett whispered, looking down at her lap, where she put the divorce papers.

There's a moment of silence between them, it's not uncomfortable, but it's not that comfortable either, both of them know that they have something to tell to each other, and your dad beat her to it.

"I can't say that im not mad at you, Scarlett. Because i am, she's our only child, and i know you know that." Your father started, making Scarlett look at him and nodded quickly.

"Ofcourse, Pa. I'm really really sorry-" She was cut off by Isaac.

"Shhh, i know you are darling. I know you are...." She only thanked the gods mentally at how your parents are so understanding, just like you were with her. "Mistakes and bad choices are part of life, and you couldn't just get rid of it that easily, nor you can just know that a person will never do something ridiculous." Your father told her, and she nodded along before looking down shamefully.

"My daughter's partners are all asshole, i never really felt too comfortable seeing her with them, but i accepted it, and let it be the way she wanted it to be, that's how i love my daughter and how important she is to me. Just like me, i know you've always been there for her on her last divorce, and we both know that it's not easy for her, it will never be, just like the past ones.

But, then you came, and tied things between the both of you, and look, i can't say that i already trusted you fully with her heart, im scared too, but even if i don't trust you well enough, im very comfortable and sure that you will take care of my daughter. I see it just by the way how you look at her, it may sound as clichè as it is, but i know that you love my daughter more than her past partners loved her. So, i know, that this decision that you'll make is hard, so, make sure to do the right decision. Think first before doing it." Isaac finishes, and Scarlett looked at him with teary eyes, smiling, before nodding, and saying thank you.

Your mother and father never failed to amaze Scarlett, by how they think alike.

Your father gave her a reassuring smile, before standing up, walking towards Scarlett, making her stand up and Isaac gave Scarlett a fatherly hug, tapping her back comfortingly.

"You're like a daughter to me Scarlett, you took care and loved my daughter just like how i want someone to love her, you didn't failed me." You father said before pulling away.

"Thank you, Pa." She said wiping her tears.

"Now, would you like to accompany me by going to the hospital together?" Your father ask, but Scarlett only shook her head, before politely declining the offer.

"Nah, i will go there later, i will just deal with this first." She said, waving the papers in her hand.

"Okay then..." Your father nodded, and after a seconds, he said,

"Whatever your decision will be, i wish you a happy ending in your life, Scarlett. May the destiny and god lead you where you are supposed to be."

After some time, Scarlett was left alone in your penthouse, sitting in the middle of your living, a pen in hand as she think over and over, again and again, if this will be the right decision.

Part of her just wants to finish all of this, and sign it straight away, but it felt as if someone or something is stopping her. She knows that once she signed it, there's no going back, it's like a one way gate to hell, because either way, she knows that the both of you will suffer, especially you, but....this is gonna be for your good, right?

There's no future for the both of you, anymore, she ruined it, so, why hope when there's nothing to hope for? When the hope and dreams she once had was all ruined just before she know.

There's no reason anymore.

Or that's what she thought.

Isaac's POV:

"Hey hon." I greeted my wife with a kiss on her forehead, before looking at my daughter.

My heart breaks just by looking at her. My poor little princess had already gone so much, i felt like i failed from protecting her just like how i promised when she was a little.

I kissed her forehead, and hands, before caressing her hair and observed her body, and my heart breaks a little more seeing her state.

"How is she?" I asked, stopping myself from crying.

"She's been put in comatose state, several broken ribcage, they said we need to put her system down for her to rest enough, they don't know when she will wake up, but they expect a good recovery. So, don't worry darling, our daughter is strong, okay?" My wife soothingly said, hugging me from behind and i put my arms around her while nodding as we both gaze at our daughter's sleeping state.

She's strong.

"Where's Elizabeth?" I asked.

"She went out to buy food, thought that we would just gonna eat here for now." She said, and i nodded while putting a kiss on her temple.

I know that this is hard and hurting her just the same as me.

"I talked to Scarlett, she's signing the divorce paper." I said as we sat on the chair, just beside the bed of my princess.

"Hmm, did you told her?" She asked, and i knew exactly what she's pointing out.

"No.." I shook my head, before looking at her. "I think we should tell Y/n first, i mean, she's the one who will carry it, you know, don't worry, Mr. Johnson said that they still can preserve it for long, so we just need Y/n to wake up and decide." I said and she nodded, leaning in to me.

"Do you think she will still say yes?" She ask, and it took me a second to answer.

"In my opinion, she would. She always wanted to have one herself."
