Chapter 24

The next morning~

Nobody's POV

Good morning, the nurse says as she walks into Vegas' room. Pete looks up at her and smiles before greeting her, hello, is all his paperwork ready to go? Pete asks still smiling. Yes it is but it has to be signed by a parent or guardian, she says. Vegas looked at Pete with an upset look, before looking away.

Are you, his guardian? The nurse asks. Yes, I am, Pete says looking at the nurse. Vegas looked up at Pete and smiled at what Pete said. The nurse then walked up to Pete and handed him the papers, Pete gladly took them and started to sign them. After Pete signed the papers, he helped Vegas out of bed and started getting him dressed in his clothes. Vegas sighed before kissing Pete on the forehead, they both looked at each other and smiled before sharing a soft and loving kiss. 

It was finally time for Vegas and Pete to leave. Both of them walked hand in hand as they left the hospital, thanking the staff as they left. Eventually they reached the car and both of them got in, Pete still has to help Vegas do simple things because he hasn't fully recovered yet. The nurse made sure to warn Vegas that he most likely wasn't going to ever live his life as he did before. Even though Vegas had to live a different life Pete was going to be there to help him through it. 

Soon they pulled into the main house driveway, Vegas looked over at Pete confused. What are we doing here? Vegas asked. This is where we are going to be living for a while, just until we can get you fully settled into your new lifestyle, Pete answered. But I don't want to live here, I want to live alone with just you, Vegas said. Pete smiled a little before answering Vegas again, I know you do and I do too, but we have to wait until you are fully settled in. Vegas just looked at Pete before nodding and unbuckling his seatbelt. Pete then got out of the car and went to Vegas' side to help him get out. 

While Pete was helping Vegas Kinn and Porsche came out and grabbed all of the stuff Vegas and Pete needed from their car. Pete helped Veag inside and brought him up to their shared room. Pete then went downstairs and grabbed all of the things that they needed, as Pete was bringing in their stuff Vegas got off the bed and tried to help Pete. Pete quickly made Vegas sit down so that he didn't tire himself out, Vegas sighed and sat back down as Pete suggested to him.

Pete seen that Vegas was upset so he sat next to him on the bed. Vegas leaned his head on Pete's shoulder and sighed again, Pete I really want to help you.  I know you do Vegas, but you still aren't well enough to help, although you were in a coma for two years your body wasn't recovering on its own. The doctors called me every day and told me how you weren't getting any better, a tear rolled down Pete's face before he continued. I stayed up all day and all night hoping that the doctor would call and give me good news, but they never did. Pete said as more tears rolled down his face.

I can't lose you again Vegas, it was so hard without you I could barely live on my own, Pete was now full-on sobbing and was starting to shake. Vegas grabbed Pete in his embrace and comforted him, it's okay Pete I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here don't worry. Pete slowly started to calm down and eventually laid down on the bed. Vegas laid down next to Pete and got under the covers, Vegas held Pete as he slowly fell asleep. 

After Pete fell asleep Vegas laid there with him and let tears fall out from his eyes, he looked at Pete and wondered how much Pete really had to suffer. Vegas caressed Pete's hair and cried thinking about how much pain he was in all alone, how he has to always worry about Vegas. Vegas wondered if Pete ate enough, if he drank enough water, how much sleep he actually got. More tears fell at the thought of Pete struggling without him.

Vegas closed his eyes and let the tears fall down his face, suddenly there was a knock at the door. Come in, Vegas says quietly. The door opens revealing Porchay, hey, Vegas I just came to bring you some water. Vegas just thanked Chay before grabbing the water from him and taking a drink out of it, after drinking it he placed the glass on the table next to him and told Chay bye. Chay left closing the door behind him. Vegas looked over at Pete one more time before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
