New Territory--- Sequel To '5 Years Too Late *UNDER EDITING 2024*

Chapter 6 *2024 Version*

Spencer

I feel dazed.

Which is shit because I'm feeling the aftermath of a hangover without the good feeling of being drunk.

I feel dark and faded too though.

Maybe I could just stay here.

Toby.

For fuck sakes I'm the worlds biggest idiot.

I had her, I had her right in my hands and I had to go be fucking stupid and say something that will cost me the love of my life.

Did you learn nothing from Yvonne? holy shit!

Maybe everyone I love is destined to disaster, maybe in the issue, maybe they'd be better off without me.

Ugh, can't think about that right now Toby.

Well what else is there to think about? I don't know if she's stable or not.

They won't fucking tell me anything!

"Hello? Can I get a update on Spencer Hasting please?" I ask the lady at the nurses desk for the 13th time

"Once I know something I'll pass it on to you" she gives me a sympathetic smile

Not fucking helpful.

"Toby take a seat" Alex says calmly but I shake my head

"I can't sit. I can't even fucking breathe till I know she's okay. God I'm so stupid "

"Your not stupid. You made a mistake. You're human. She will wake up and you guys will be fine. Word of advice from a kid who was tossed around without confrontation. Work on your confrontation with her. Even if you're mad, you making her your fiancé means you wanna be with her and you're putting her before anyone else. Meaning you have to hear her out and have your reaction. But give her the benefit of the doubt. Just like your job, innocent until proven guilty. Do the same with her."she tells me

"That's smart. Thank you. For everything thank you."

"Don't thank me. That's what sisters do."

"I'll tell you this is a bit strange." I chuckle

"What?"

"How scarily alike you are to Spence. Having you as a sister and then having her as the love of my life. It's funny and a bit weird but also great"

"Don't fall in love with me." She chuckles and I laugh.

"I like this though. From having no one really to be around my age, no siblings, to a family full of siblings and in laws and kids. It's truly amazing for me. I love the banter and I wouldn't do anything to ruin this. So again I'm sorry for my part in this mess."

"I love it too. Nothing is gonna change it or ruin it. But please stop apologizing."

"Can't help it sorry" she nervously chuckles

"Yep you take after Spence for that"

"Mr Cavanaugh?" A nurse calls

"Yes?" I say quickly turning back to look at her quickly.

"She's stable. You can go in now. You can go in as well. I can see your family" she smiles as she looks at Alex.
