Penelope's POV
"Hey, could you keep it down?"
Our heads snapped toward the sound and we all sat there stunned, as we looked at Phoenix with wide eyes.
"Omg, your awake" I whispered.
"Do I know you?" Phoenix asked me and I was on the verge of tears. How could he not remember me, I'm his best friend, sister, twin sister. We were ride or die together. We were inseparable, always with each other.
"Oh my go- someone get the doctor!" Everyone was shocked, he woke up and there was no proof of any brain activity. Everyone just stood around stunned.
"Now!" I said urgently.
"Yeah It's me Pen," I said with my voice breaking at the end.
"I'm sorry but I don't know who you are"
As soon as he said that tears were rolling down my face, uncontrollably. I pulled out my phone and showed him a photo of me on his back at our high school graduation
"No you have to remember, look." I said worriedly. My heart is racing, idk what I can do to make him remember me.
"I'm sorry but I don't know you" Nix said with a solemn face.
With that, I said "I can't lose you too, please remember me, I'm your sister, Your twin sister."
"Remember when we would go to the beach and watch the sunset over the horizon, and then remember when on our 17th birthday I got you a chain that said my hero on it and me a matching bracelet too that said, my protector."
My eyes teared up again, I started to walk towards the door. I still have something to live for.
"Wait Pen come back" I turned around and looked at him with puffy eyes.
"You remember me?" I asked and he nodded. I walked to Nix and carefully hugged him. I just fell apart in his arms.
"This feels so unreal. I can't believe you woke up Nix."
"Yeah I was just playing with you, I'm sorry" Phoenix said.
"You always playing" I said while mean mugging him.
"Have I been asleep this whole time?" He said and looked at me with worried eyes.
"No necessarily" I said.
"What do you mean?" He looked at me confused.
"YouHaveBeenInaComaForThreeYears" I said fast, knowing he wouldn't understand it.
"Huh?"
"She said you were in a coma for three years" Raf said.
Nix's eyes widened.
"Where mom and dad?...... and Christian?" Nix asked.
"Um well can you sit down for a second" I asked.
"Why?" He asked sitting up.
"Just sit down please, your gonna wanna stay calm" I said. He laid back cautiously.
"Okay"
"Mom, dad, me, Christian, and you were in the car when it crashed. A drunk driver hit us head on, mom and dad were doa." My voice breaking at the end.
"You had it the worse. You were in the middle seat and you weren't wearing your seat belt. Dad and I were the only ones awake, but I saw you fly out the front windshield." I paused.
"Dad was losing conscious while Christian was crying. Mom was driving, so her side of the car was crushed. I had a twisted ankle with a few glass piece cuts over my arms. Dad had large glass shards in his stomach and he was bleeding out fast. Christian didn't get hurt at all which is lucky for him."
"I dragged dad and Christian out the car and dialed 911. I crawled to you with Christian in my arms. I checked if you were breathing and your pulse was weak and you were bleeding from your head. I passed out with Christian in my arms and woke up in a hospital bed."
"I was on bed rest for a week. I got discharged a week later. They gave me medication for my healing ankle, which healed in two weeks. They told me I could be Christian's guardian since you were in a coma and mom and dad were dead. So that same week I got some crunches and went to court to get custody of Christian." I paused.
"I didn't want him to go into the system, so I did what I had to do. Since Christian was so young he doesn't remember mom so I became a mother figure to him and now he calls me mommy." I continued.
"Everyday for a year I stayed here and talked to you hoping you would wake up. The second year while you were in a coma, I met my best friends, Cleo and Theo, and they helping me with Christian and my depression. So they babysat while I worked night shifts. I still went to college with Christian. We celebrated our birthdays here with you. We're both 21 years old now and Christian is three years old." I finished.
"Wow, so they're gone for real?" He whispered with tears in his eyes.
"Yeah" I sniffled. I gave a tissue to him.
"I'm sorry for not being here Pen, I wish I could've woken up earlier"
"It's fine Christian remembers you but as his uncle" I looked down.
"Why didn't you tell him that your his sister"
"Because it's better that way for him to think that he has a mother, because I don't want him to feel that loneliness." I said and he pulled me into his chest while I cried for about 5 minutes until he pulled back.
"Okay but you gotta tell him when he gets older. " He said sitting back up.
"I will. Now let's you got out here, yeah?" I said looking around the room.
Rafael and Lorenzo left like ten minutes ago because they had to get back to work. So its just my brother and I. Again. How it used to be. Phoenix and Penelope.
Yin and Yang.
