Hope

Chapter 28

Hopes POV
I woke up slowly, in the same freakin room again. This is seriously not a dream, but what is it?
"Hello Hope. Would you like to see your parents?" The doctor asked.
"I just saw my parents... and Luke and poppy.." I said. I immediately thought about Luke, I smiled touching my collar bone searching for my necklace... Where's my necklace?
"Where's my necklace?!?" I screamed.
"What necklace sweetie!?" My parents came in comforting me. My mom looks like she never got a surgery.
"The one Luke got me!" I said frantically.
"Honey, stop!" My mom said as I sobbed.
"Mom where is it." I said angrily.
"Hope, there is no necklace! There is no Luke. Both don't exist!" The doctor said trying to control me.
"What are you talking about?!" I said completely confused.
"Hope calm down." my mom rubbed my hand reassuringly.
"We will explain in a moment, come with me." The doc gestured for me to get up.
"Okay." I said shakily. I followed everyone to a small room. I was supported by doctors. I saw Tyler sitting down looking at me, with intent loving eyes.
"Tyler you are freaking dead?" I said crying more.
"Sit down Hope." The doctor said.
"Look Hope.." the doctor started.
"No don't 'look Hope' me. I-" I started to speak again but Tyler finished my sentence.
"She likes her answers blunt." Tyler said smiling. I smiled also, I couldn't look away from him. I may be confused as hell, but when Tyler's here, it all goes away.
"Okay then.." the doctor started."Hope you have been living a false life for the past several months.. You have been in a coma ever since the accident." He ended.
"What.. Wait the car accident?!" I asked getting anxious.
"Yes, Hope, the car accident." he simply said.
"Wait let me get this straight. There was no cancer? No Luke, or Poppy? Tyler never d-died? No necklace, no note, no nothing." I said.
"Yes Hope. You have been in this coma since you and your mother got in an argument in her car, swerved off the road, and got into an accident." he said.
No it can't be. I haven't been in a coma! I felt alive the whole time! I was awake! This is not true!
"It can't be.." I said crying.
"I'm so sorry Hope. This is rare to happen, but everything that happened, happened in your mind." he said.
"That's why I heard you say Luke, while I was holding your hand.." Tyler said.
"What?" I asked.
"I was holding your hand the other day, I saw a tear run down your cheek. You were still in a coma, but I felt your hand tighten, and I heard you say Luke.." Tyler said. It must have been when Luke was dying.
"Dad?" I said.
"Yes Hope." my dad said.
"You were there too." I said calmly. He smiled and hugged me. Everyone came to hug me. Wow I've really been through hell and back. But I realized that I can handle a lot more than I thought I could. I'm capable of anything. And I'm truly thankful that Tyler isn't dead, and my moms fine, and I never had cancer.
"Mom?" I said. She hummed in response.
"How hurt were you?" I asked, referring to after the accident. Because apparently I was still in a coma.
"I was injured Hope. But I pulled through." she said.
"In my false world you were in it too. It felt so real, not like dreams. Once you experience what I experienced, you will realize how non-real dreams feel. Anyways, I gave transfusions of blood and other organs to you, so you could stay alive." I said. She just smiled, a tear rolling down her cheek.
"I made mistakes in my false world, but learned from them. I ended up beating cancer, and succeeding as an adult. You guys were proud of me, I was proud of me." I said smiling.
"We are very proud of you honey. What you've been through is astonishing. And from what it sounds like, what you thought you were going through was extremely difficult. We love you Hope." they said, and I felt like nothing has changed. Same amazingly loving parents. But then there was Tyler. I wanted to talk to Tyler privately, so I led him to another room.
"Tyler." Is all I said, before I embraced him into a kiss.
"Oh my gosh Hope. You had me worried sick. I loved you-you left me- I- I" he started to tear up. I stopped him with my fingers against his lips.
"Sh tyler, let me finish. Tyler I love you so much. I loved you so much, and I will continue to love you so much. I remained faithful to you throughout my false world. And you were dead for most of it! Another guy named Luke wanted to date me.. I told him I wasn't ready, I had you. I always had you. In my goddamn false world, Baylinn murdered you." I said tearing up.
"But I forgave her. Because she helped me along the way, by kidnapping me, and torturing me." I said. Tyler looked extremely confused.
"But she helped me find me. She helped me find my future. She helped me forget about all of the bad memories lingering deep, deep down in my soul. Believe me, I hated her for hurting you. Don't get me wrong, but she didn't exactly murder you, she gave you a choice. And you chose me. No one ever chooses me." I said and kissed him again.
"I would always choose you Hope. Real world or false world. Always." is all he said while hugging me tightly.
"I've missed you most Ty." I said.
"Oh Hope. Me too. But do you forgive me? You know for what happened.. my ex girlfriend.." He looked ashamed at the ground. I used my pointer finger to lift his chin.
"Of course I do. I've been through hell and back these last couple months. Well not in the real world, In my false world of course. You have been through a lot too. I forgive you with all my heart, because forgiving is the right thing to do. Let go of the past, and look forward to the future." I said smiling. But he was smiling wider.
"I remained faithful too." he said quietly. I smiled widely, as wide as a fan girl hugging her superstar famous dream boy.
"My angel." He said. That took me back to Luke. I just smiled.
"My angel." I said back.
