Lover Boy [Book 2]

Chapter 34

========

"You're not coming with." Scott says over the phone.

"Why not?" I ask as I pace the floor of the room.

"Lydia and Malia are going to be with me. I'm sure you'll be fine sitting this one out."

"No! Scott, we are one step closer to getting Stiles back, and I—"

"You will be fine, Parker. Just stay in the hospital and wait for Peter to wake up. Tell us if he says anything from his time in the Wild Hunt, okay?"

I heave a sigh, but nod. "Fine. But you guys tell me what you find." I tell him, and hang up the phone.

"Same Scott, I see."

A smile breaks out when I see my uncle awake in the hospital bed. "How are you feeling, Uncle Peter?"

"Oh, fantastic. I've always wanted to be barbecued twice." He gives a weak thumbs-up.

I take back my seat and lean forward, taking out a black take-out box and fork, and hand it to him. "I brought you some actual food from a restaurant."

"My favorite niece strikes again." He lets out a small laugh, taking the small box from my hand and opening it up. "Anything new happen with you since I've been gone?"

"So many things. One of which I know you would hate, so I'm going to skip over that part. Also because I'd like to forget it happened as well..."

"Then we'll skip it." He says between bites of a grilled cheese sandwich. "What else?"

"I don't hate Malia as much anymore."

He smiled, "That's good to hear."

A female nurse walks into the room with a clipboard, and I stand up. "Miss Hale, welcome back."

"Nurse Kenily,"

"Your uncle is healing well. Most of his injuries have healed, aside from some light bruising and small cuts around the abdomen, but, you should be good to take him home."

"Really?" Peter asks.

"Yes. As long as you don't do anything too strenuous."

"Well, of course not. That's why I have her." He jabs a thumb towards me.

"I'll be your child slave for the day, I suppose." I heave a dramatic sigh at my uncle, which makes nurse Kenily smile.
