A New Beginning (Jai Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter 27

Maria's POV

      Our car pulled up in the hospital parking lot. By the time unbuckled myself and stepped out of the car, I could already see Shyler's hair bouncing as she jogged her way to the entrance. I couldn't help laughing, it seemed like for the first time in awhile, things were going how I wanted them to, although picking a YouTube star from the hospital after he was in a coma which was quite obviously my fault, was certainly not the expected highlight of my new life so far. I sprinted to catch up to Shyler, wanting to be there to see her and Beau reunite.

The reception desk was right in front of us when we stepped through the glass doors of the hospital.

"Hi, I'm liking for Beau Brooks, we were informed that he just woke up from his coma." The receptionist typed something into the computer before answering.

"Yes of course, room 225," She smiled up at me. I thanked her before grabbing Shyler's hand and rushing up the stairs to the second floor, too impatient to wait for the elevator. When we reached the top of the stairs, I scanned the doors.

"222....223...224....Here it is!" We caught our breath before quietly opening the door to Beau's room. Jai, Luke, James and Skip were all gathered around the bed. At the sound of the door opening, they turned to face us. They were all grinning from ear to ear, glad to be able to talk to Beau again, or at least talk to him and know that Beau can hear them. They made room between each other for Shyler and me to say hello. I walked up to Beau, and seeing his face made my heart nearly stop, sure, I've seen the bruises on his face, but it is different now that he is conscious. He can feel all of it, he is aware of all his injuries, the injuries that were my fault in the first place. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at him.

"I'm back from the dead!" He smiled. Smiling made the injuries so much more evident, and it pained me, but I smiled back at him. The important thing is that he is alive, he will heal in time, the only thing I'm not sure will heal is our friendship.

Hey guys. So I have a confession. Lately I've been acting really horribly to my two best friends. These two wonderful people have always been the most amazing people in my life. They are kind, and understanding, and just wonderful, and I haven't been there for them. I think some of my other, very much less important friends, had a strange influence on me, but There are no excuses for what I did and how I acted, and they found it in their hearts to forgive me after I made mistake after mistake. So this is just a shout out to them, to two very wonderful people who I hope will know that this is about them when they read it. I want them to know that I'm sorry, I want everyone to know that. I hope that things can go back to how they were, and I know I've said this before, but I will never make the same mistake again. I love you guys, and no one can replace you in my life, you are the most amazing and special friend anyone can ask for.

Sincerely and with much love,        

A very sorry friend.
