Martyn's Perspective-

I took a deep breath as I walked around the little garden outside the hospital.

The birds whistled and flew around.

The squirrels scurried around.

The bunnies hopped across the street and hid near a tree.

Everyone's lives continued.

While mine seemed to come to a stop.

They all make it seem so simple. Like everything works out for them, meanwhile for me, everything's falling apart.

I'm in a spot that's impossible to get out of.

Words can't describe how much I hate myself right now.

I did this to myself, and there's no fixing it.

There's no way to defeat Canon, to get the love of my life back.

I sighed and reached into my pocket, taking out a tiny box.

I opened it and inside was a ring.

I stared at it longingly, wishing Scott was here with me.

"Everything was supposed to work out." I whispered, "I was planning on proposing to you and then we would get married, and everything would be okay."

I sighed and looked up at the sky, "But nothing is okay anymore."

I closed the box and put it back in my pocket.

I then stood up and walked back into the hospital.

-

"Ever since that day, I worked my hardest to get stronger.

Despite me not working on the case anymore, I planned out a way to defeat Canon.

And after one year went by, I went back to the principal, and he hired me again.

Everything seemed to work out.

Well...not completely.

No one had heard of Canon since he almost killed me in the ocean.

No one had heard of Scott either.

I was stressed that Scott was gone forever.

And I'm glad he's not."

Martyn finished his story and smiled at Grian and Scar.

Grian's jaw was dropped, and Scar started clapping enthusiastically.

"What happened next?" Scar asked excitedly.

I chuckled, "That's when you two come in and help me defeat Canon."

"But- but Canon wasn't...Canon." Grian said.

Martyn nodded.

"So in summary, my brother was killed by Canon and slowly gained power and took over Scott. I tried to fight Canon but failed and you guys helped me end up defeating him. We then found out just recently that Canon is actually Kameron who shapeshifted to look like Canon."

"And Scott's still recovering from Kameron taking over him." Grian whispered.

Martyn looked down and nodded.

"He's going to be okay though. Healers are really good at their job." Martyn said, trying to stay optimistic, though he was worried that he would fail Scott again.

One Week Later-

It has now been one week.

I've been going to the hospital to check in on Scott every day and Scar and Grian have sometimes popped in to say hello.

Scar normally stays a bit longer and, despite me telling him I don't need it, he always lets me talk to him and helps me.

I appreciate that.

Today, I went to the hospital again and was shocked to hear that Scott was well enough to go back home.

When he was told the news, he was ecstatic, as was I.

I couldn't wait to have him back home.

Though he was still a bit worried and paranoid ever since Kameron took over him.

"Hey Scott, you ready to go home?" I asked Scott quietly.

Scott nodded, looking worried.

"You alright? You wanna talk about it?"

Scott shrugged and I hugged him.

"I- I'm just worried about Kameron." Scott said.

"Hey, it's okay. But don't worry he's not going to be able to hurt us anymore."

Scott nodded and I smiled, kissing his cheek.

"And on the bright side, I have a surprise for you." I said, holding his hands.

"Really? What is it?" Scott asked, smiling.

I chuckled, "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you about it now, would it?"

"Come onnn." Scott poked my cheek and I blushed, laughing.

"I'll tell you once we get home. Now come on."

-

We got home and Scott looked around, smiling at the familiar scenery.

"I missed this place. I missed you." He hugged me again and I blushed, smiling.

"I missed you too. I love you so much."

"Can I see the surprise now?" He asked sweetly.

I smiled and caressed his cheek, "Maybe later. I think we should just relax for now."

Scott nodded, "Yeah, we should."

We sat down on the couch together and held each other close.

I felt the ring in my pocket and smiled at Scott.

Just one more day and hopefully Scott will be my fiancé.
