   " I'm being let go? "

   " Yes, isn't that great sweetie? "

   " Wait...I'm leaving the hospital tomorrow? "

   " Yes, tomorrow morning we get to leave the hospital and go home. "

   " Don't you think it's too soon? I just learned to speak full sentences again and walk. "

   " It does seem quick but it's best to leave as soon as possible. Since you are all better we'll leave tomorrow and go home. "

   " But-"

   " Alright, sweetie I need to leave the hospital for a moment and head home. I want to make sure everything is okay before we go back tomorrow. "

Malcolm kissed your forehead and left the room. When he left you stood from the bed and left the room as well. You started walking, quickly, to Scotty's room. You opened the door and saw Scotty standing in front of his window to look outside. He turned to you and a smile decorated his face for a moment. 

His smile fell when he saw how your eyes held a scared look. He left his window behind and walked to you, holding your cheeks in his hands. His blue eyes were laced with concern and they searched your eyes to find why you were so scared.

   " I'm leaving the hospital tomorrow. "

   " What? "

   " Malcolm just told me that he's checking me out of the hospital tomorrow morning. Scotty, he's nervous. No one here knows that he's a murderer and he wants to leave the hospital as quickly as possible. "

   " So, he's planning on leaving tomorrow? 

   " Yes, and I don't know where the house is. He won't tell me an address or anything. "

   " Y/n, I'm going to call someone to help us. He's an investigator. He talked to me back when I was in the Cheswick hospital. He said if I need anything I can contact him. "

   " Alright, do it, now. "

He walked to his bedside and grabbed his cell phone. He speed-dialed the number and put his phone to his left ear. You could hear the ring from the cell phone until someone picked it up on the other end. It was silent in the room as you tried to listen to the voice on the other end of the phone. 

   " Hello? Detective Reid? "

   ' Please help us. '

   " I need your help. The murderer and kidnapper are here in Seashon. He injured Y/n and almost killed her.  She's right here. "

Scotty handed you the phone and you could hear shuffling in the background. Your heartbeat was rapid and swelled with hope as you put the phone to your ear. You could actually be free.

   " Hello? "

   " Is this Y/n? "

   " Yes! Please you have to help us. I can't take this anymore-please-"

   " I'm on my way to the hospital right now. Where is Malcolm? "

   " He's at the house right now. Detective, he's coming back soon. I can't stay any longer or he'll know somethings going on. Come later tonight and we can all meet in my room to talk about the plan. "

   " I agree, please stay safe. "

You hung up the phone and handed it back to Scotty. He gave you a quick kiss and let you go back to your room. You started walking back to your room but while you were almost to your door your shoulder was grabbed.

   " And what are you doing out of your room sweetie? "

You looked behind you to see Malcolm standing behind you with a smile on his cheeks. His silver hair fell down his face and covered one of his eyes. You were scared and afraid that he saw you leaving Scotty's room. 

   " I was just going for a walk around. "

   " Hmm, are you sure? You're not lying to me, are you? "

   ' Technically I'm not lying. I was walking around. '

   " No, I was just walking around. I wanted to look out my window and see if there was a garden on the ground floor I could go to. "

   " Surprisingly there is a garden. Let's go together. "

He grabbed your hand and started leading you to the elevator. He closed the doors and pressed the number one button to take you to the ground floor. He continued to hold your hand and you wanted to pull away and go to the other side of the elevator. When the doors opened he left the elevator and took you along with him. He walked to one end of the hall and opened the doors for you, leading you into a cherry blossom garden. 

The petals on the trees were a beautiful pink color and the branches swayed with the wind. Malcolm closed the door behind you and walked further into the garden. He walked at a slow pace to keep up with your normal pace. It was quiet as you walked and you noticed how there were other patients outside. Most of them were elderly patients and not young ones.

   " Y/n? "

You turned your head to Malcolm and he stopped walking, making you stop. You raised your eyebrow at him and he just got closer to you.

   " Y/n, I've realized something. I've been calling you my fiance for a while now and you don't even have a ring. "

   ' Don't tell me he's going to do what I think he's going to do. '

Malcolm reached to his back pocket and pulled out a box. He grabbed your left hand and opened the box. Inside was a beautiful ring. It was a gold band with a big diamond in the middle. There were two small blue diamonds on the left and right sides of the big diamond. 

He pulled your hand closer to the ring. He put the box in his pocket and held the ring in his other hand. He smiled down at you.

   " Y/n, will you marry me? "

   " ... "

   ' No. I don't want to. Can I even reject him? I don't even have a choice here do I? '

   " Flower? "

   " I don't have a choice do I? "

   " No, you don't but I thought I would be polite enough and ask. Will you marry me, and become Mrs. Becker? "

   " I don't have a choice. "

   " Say it, Y/n. "

   " Yes. "

Malcolm slipped the ring on to your finger and brought you closer. He kissed your lips but you didn't kiss back. The ring felt cold on your finger. He pulled away and smiled down at you. He took your hand and continued walking through the cherry blossoms. 

   ' I hope that detective can help me. '
