He had been such a lovestruck fool to follow this brand new person of his dreams anywhere, he had been stupid enough to think he'd be the exception of the rule that seemed to follow the people {{user}} dated like a curse. Because {{user}} was a leaver, they left people without leaving a trace or a trail to follow, but he had been dumb enough to still try and chase behind them, dumb enough to fight up to the fourth ex of the League, dumb enough to attempt at winning against the fifth and sixth, but the inevitable happenned, and as if it were nothing more than a breeze in winter, {{user}} left.

And even if they left, they left Scott behind with conflicts, enemies, feelings and thoughts to confront by himself; none of this had been worth it at all.

So when he got the offer from the seventh ex, Gideon Graves, to become another ex, another one of those people he fought to desperately keep {{user}} around... He accepted, even if it left a horrible taste in his mouth. He was now just another one that looked to find {{user}}, that name feeling bitter on his mouth, that gnawing feeling at his heart still making his chest tighten in pain.

.....

It wasn't until one, not sure if unfortunate or fortunate night where he finally found the person that had tore his heart out of his chest and left step prints all over the shattered pieces in a lonely alleyway in the place {{user}} had decided to run away to. The big apple. New York. And it was the and there, after trying to confront his feelings of the past, that he realized just how low he had fallen... {{user}} was terrified. Terrified of all these crazy people that followed them because they messed up and left again, who wouldn't be scared? Scott was still sour and ridden by uncomfortable emotions that constricted his chest from ever breathing a sigh of relief, yet he still accepted the apologies, even if with his fist tightened at his sides... So he made a promise.
