Meeting Again

CHAPTER 25

*DEVON MCKNIGHT*

"Brandon!" I woke up! I'm having a nightmare again about Brandon. I looked around. I'm now in my hospital room. Cole and Cathy are with me. 'Where is everybody?' SNAP!

"Cole, where are they?"

Instead of me, he looked at the floor. "Ammm... they .." he's being hesitant.

"Cole!"

"They are downstairs, taking care of Brandon." Cathy interrupted.

"Is he alright?"

"We don't know yet, you've been brought here, so were basically here with you the whole time." Cole said.

"I have to go." I said and pulled out the sheet that has been covering me. I feel better now.

"But.." Cathy tried to protest.

"I need to see him."

"Okay we will bring you there." Cole said.

They assisted me in going down. I saw dad and William.

"Dev, why are you out?" Will said and held my hand.

"Where is he?"

"Baby..just calm down okay?" Dad said.

"Dad, I need to see him."

He lowered his head down. "He's there in that room."

"Is he alright?" I asked Dad but he didn't answer. I looked at Will.

"He is in a critical condition, but he is stable... for now." He said.

I controlled myself not to cry. "I want to see him." William led me to a room.

I slowly opened it. I saw Brandon, lying on the hospital bed. More tubes are attached to him than me.  I moved closer to him. William is behind me. I bit my lip, he's in this condition because of me. He wants to make justice for what happen and risked his life... what a jerk! Thinking about it, I can't help but let the tears that are piling up escape from my eyes.

I silently sob. I sat on the chair beside his bed. Held his hand and rub it against my right cheek. It's cold, but warm enough to say that he is still alive.

"Brandon... please don't die on me." I muttered.

I felt William brushed my back lightly to comfort me.

"He really felt bad about what happened to you." William started talking. "He was supposed to go to your place the night that you..." He stopped, thinking about what happened to me. "... then you forgot about him, the doctor said that you forgot him because he may have done something that made you hurt and your brain shut him down."

"I'm sorry."

William now sat to the chair beside me. He turned my body towards him, now were facing each other. "What for?"

"I'm sorry for everything; I have caused trouble not just to Brandon but also to you." I said.

He reached my face with his soft hands and rubbed his thumb against it and smiled. "I do admit that it hurt me so much that you broke up with because of him... but seeing you guys right now, I can say that you really love each other."

"What do you mean?" I said confused.

"Brandon is blaming himself because he felt responsible for you, and now even if you're not telling me, I can say that you are baling yourself too... Am I right?" he said.

I nodded, he's right. We are both blaming each other for what happened to us, I guess we are both jerks then.

I'm still holding Brandon's hands. I felt it move.

"Brandon!"

He moved it again.

"Are you awake?.." I asked. "... What are we going to do?" I faced Will.

"I will call the doctor."

"Ok," I said and faced Brandon again. "Brandon, are you awake? Can you hear me?... If you can hear me, move your finger again.

He moved his finger again. "Oh thank God you're awake." I let out buckle of tears because of relief.

The doctor moved in, they checked his vital signs and everything, I don't really know what they have been talking about with all those medical terms. After a while the doctor came to us. I was still with William and my dad.

"What happened to him?" I asked.

"This is a good sign, because if he hadn't gave us signs of being awake for the next days that will lead him of being comatose." The doctor explained, thank God.

We felt relief of what he said.

"I'll be going then, but if any signs will occur aside from moving his hands, tell me immediately." He said and left.

I walked towards his bed again. Dad and Will went outside, they knew that I needed some alone time with him. I held his hands again.

"Are you still awake?"

He moved his hands. I smiled.

"keep up the good work okay? You have to recover fast."

He moved it again.

We talked about ten minutes more... Well I was the one talking and h just moves his hands in agreement or disagreement. He fell asleep because of the medicine that they gave him.

"Honey, you have to rest too. You are still under medications you know." My dad told me. I didn't protest because, I have to get better so that I can take care of Brandon.

I went back to my room, now feeling refreshed of the good news. I opened the door, Cole and Cathy are watching TV, (private room).

"Is everything alright?" Cole asked.

"Yeah, By the way, how many hours have I been sleeping?"

"Almost two days." Cathy said.

"What?!"

"The doctor gave you more doze of those sleeping thing, he said you need it more because you are stressed out again." Cathy explained.

"Ahh." I nodded.  I don't feel sleepy yet. "What are you watching?"

"Vampire Diaries." Cole said.

"Oh, What happened to Ellena?" it's one of my favorite series. I love Damon, he's hot!

"She's going to be the sacrifice to save mankind,.. and vamps and wolves I guess." Cole said.

We watched it until the end, turn to the other channels and stayed in Disney channel watched Lilo and Stitch series, I love stitch!

I'm still not sleepy, I guess sleeping for almost two hours gave me too much energy.
