Deep Regression

Stay...Stay

Stay by Rihanna
As I slowly woke up in the hospital bed next to Peter, I began to smell a terrible stench. OH MY GOODNESS WAS IT BAD!
It was warm and it seemed to come in spurts. My eyes lingered up Peter's face and to his wide open mouth. TERRIBLE MORNING BREATH!
There wasn't much I could do. Either suck it up, Turn over, or wake him up.
I think we all could guess what I chose.
"Peter, Please close your mouth." I beg him loudly.
He just wipes his face and groans, mouth still open.
"PETER, please I'm dying!"
"Mmm." He groans back.
My hand covers over his mouth and it stops the smell.
"Sel, move your hand." He sluggishly rolls more into me.
Being about as tiny of a bed as can be...He accidentally shoves me off of it.
"WOAH!"
I land with a loud thud as I yell to the floor. It didn't hurt very much but I still let a deep groan out of me.
I would've expected an 'Oh my goodness are you okay?','Did you hurt yourself?','Sorry!'
Instead all I heard was Peter's deep laugh, and I guess that was the first time I heard his laugh because I loved hearing it. I decided right there that I will hear that again.
I roll over on my back and gaze up at him looking down at me on the edge of the bed.
"You think this is funny?" I smile up at him.
"Mhm, I think it's hilarious!"
"Alright you two, enough."
Mrs. Codat appears from behind the other curtain with a wide smile.
"He shoved me!" I press back.
"Nah, it was a little poke." Peter's smile wide and happy.
"I don't care who did what, all I care is that you," she points at Peter, "Are staying in bed, and not moving too much around."
"Oh I am, except for the nights when I'm with-"
"PETER!" I yell at him with fierce eyes.
He said he wouldn't tell. Peter just smiles back.
"Anyways, I am."
"Good, Selena, I need you to come with me to get Peter's breakfast."
"Okay."
I get up off the floor and follow Mrs. Codat out. But when I come back, that machine stuck in his arm may not be tracking his heart beats anymore.
I smile as me and his mom enter the hallway. All I hear is phones ringing, heels clicking, and people talking. Nurses, medics, patients, and doctors pass me by.
"So...Is there anything you want to tell me Selena?"
What? Oh no, this can't be happening, no, no, no!
"Uh-"
"You can tell me anything Selena." She begs me with her eyes.
"Okay, I slept with Peter." I blurt out quietly.
Embarrassment crossing all over my face. I can't believe I just said that!
The next thing I hear coming from Mrs. Codat's mouth shocked and surprised me till I couldn't move.
She's laughing! She's ACTUALLY LAUGHING!!
"I already knew that!" She's laughing while she says that!
"OH MY GOD!" I immediately start blushing and fanning.
"It's fine! It's fine, He's a man now, and there's nothing I can do about that."
"We've been careful, I swear!"
"I believe you, but I'm talking about the conversation you had with Peter last night."
"Ooh-"
"I just want to put my two cents in and say that I absolutely love that your with my son. Best Girlfriend he's had in years!" She gushes.
"Girlfriend?"
"Oh, and not to mention how good you are together. Never seen him this happy, or this involved before. I don't want you to leave him, and I'm sorry you felt that last night was your fault. It wasn't. Just...Stay."
"Stay." I whisper under my breath.
That one word, that means so much to me, the word that no one was able to live up to. My Family, Jane...And now I count on Peter to know how much that single word means to me.
Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...Stay...
