A Sweet Tooth For You(Kevin x Streber)

Chapter 37: Kevin

I woke up the next morning with Jack by my side, and Lila talking to a doctor. Was it morning? I couldn't tell. My head hurts. My leg felt like it had been stabbed.
"W-what happened...?" I softly asked.
Jack looked up. He'd been crying. "Kevin! You're awake! I-I'll kill that Streber-!"
"Jack, please calm down!" Lila tried to reassure him. "We don't know exactly what happened."
"I know what happened, Streber hurt my baby brother!" Jack yelled.
"Sir, please calm down." a nurse stopped him. He sunk back into his chair.
"I'm so sorry, Kevin..." he broke down again.
That's when the memories came flooding back. Streber yelling at me and his parents. How scared I was. Running away...
The highway...
"No...Jack..I'm sorry..." I apologized softly. I had to speak softly, or this headache would be even more unbearable. "I shouldn't have..." I couldn't finish the sentence. Jack was looking at me, eyes wide, with a shattered and pitiful expression on his face.
"K-Kevin..." Jack muttered.
"H-how did I get here?" I asked.
Lila looked at me sadly. "I had seen you in the middle of the road, hit. Your left leg was cut up pretty badly, and there was evidence of head trauma...I didn't have my phone on me, so I drove you here, and I guess the department called your brother..."
"And I found the note in your pocket...I'm so sorry, I should have known..." Jack cut in.
What should he have known? Streber hadn't been this aggressive...ever.
"Where's mom and dad?" I asked. Jack sighed sadly.
"They're at home..." He said, pitifully. "They aren't coming..."
My parents aren't going to visit me? What if I had died? "Why not?" I asked sadly.
"They think you need 'space'..." Jack sadly smiled. "But don't worry...your big bro is here..."
I all of a sudden heard a begging voice outside of the hospital room. "Please let me see him...I just want to make things right..please..."
Jack looked towards the door. His expression shifted from comforting to full of rage. "Streber..."
A doctor walked in. "A person by the name of 'Streber' wants to see you, is that okay?"
Was it okay? I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure how I would feel seeing him again.
"Sure, yeah, it's okay..."
Streber then walked in. He was wearing a magenta hoodie. He looked horrified.
"Holy shit, Kevin, I'm so sorry..." he was crying.
Jack looked like he was about to kill Streber right there, but Lila grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room. "They need privacy."
A doctor had to stand in the corner of the room, to make sure Streber wasn't going to abuse me, and so I didn't try to hurt myself.
"Streber, you came...?" I asked. I was confused. Part of me thought they didn't care for me anymore.
"Of course I came, Kev..." He sat down in a chair beside my hospital bed. "I love you so much...and I'm sorry I'm doing a shitty job at showing it..." He was shaking. He held onto my hand. "I'm so sorry..."
I was silent for a moment. I wasn't sure how to feel. About Streber being here by my side.
Streber broke the silence. "M-my mom kicked me out...god, I'm such an idiot...I'm sorry, Kevin...I completely understand if you want to break up with me...but...I love you Kevin, I hope you know that..."
I didn't want to break up with him. But I wanted things to be different. I needed him to reach out for the help he needed.
I held onto his hand tightly. "C-Can we just...start over...? And let both of us get help, please...you need it." I begged.
