I Hope You Will Not Forget This Either (Sitkolson)

This Can't Be Real

Chris' POV

"That sounds good. Someone should stay with him though just in case something happens." I add.

"I'll stay with him." I voice says behind me. I turn around to see Ricky. Immediately I engulf him in a hug.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you right now. Ryan is a mess and we can't help him." I tell him.

"Do you know why he's such a mess?" Ricky asks me.

"No, none of us do. We think he is still freaking out about the car accident. But these last few days that he has been home he just cries. This morning when I went to calm him down he said 'he's gone'. He really needs you." I explain as calmly as I can. Ryan is seriously stating to worrying me.

"I will go inside and try to help him. By the sounds of it, he is really broken." Ricky responds.

Ryan's POV

Chris, Angelo, and Balz all went outside to talk about something. Tj stayed inside with me. He's been trying to comfort me but I just help but cry. I hear the door open and close as someone enters. I look up to see who came inside and when I do I'm just in shock. I thought he was dead. What's happening?

"R-Ricky?" my voice cracks.

"What's wrong RyRy?" Ricky asks me.

"Aren't you d-dead?" I ask him.

"No, I don't know why I would be dead. Here let's go into your room and talk."

Ricky walks over to me and lifts me up with ease, carrying me to my room. He walks over to the bed and places my body onto the bed.

"Explain to me why you thought I was dead." Ricky says after laying by my side and pulling me closer to him. He puts my head on his chest and soothingly played with my hair while I began to tell my story.

"The doctors told me that when the car hit us it hit you with such force that you almost died on impact. They tried to save you and you luckily were able to stay alive for a little over a month. When I came out of my coma Chris told me you died three days before I woke up." I sob into his shoulder.

"Oh honey, don't worry. I'm still here. I knew I should have stayed with you until you woke up."

"So if you didn't die, how come you came out of the hospital before me even though the car hit your side?"

"The car had hit your side. I came out with a couple of scratches and a concussion. You on the other side had gone unconscious on impact. A bunch of things happened to your vitals and stuff but I don't remember what exactly. I was so scared you were going to pull through but you did."

"Why did you leave before I woke up?"

"My parents had come home. They wanted to press charges against Greg after they heard what he did. Since they are in Seattle and had pressed the charges there, the police needed a statement from Paige and I. I was going to stay for two weeks, but when Ange told me you had woke up, I rushed home. Paige is just going to use my plane ticket so she will be back next week."

"Wait, so does this mean my coma produced some kind of dream theory about what was happening?"

"That's looks like what happened."

"I'm so glad you aren't dead."

After hearing that relieving news I hold into Ricky. I'm not letting him go any time soon.

Ricky's POV

Wow, Ryan's coma produced a whole different story to what happened in the car crash. I don't even know what I would do if Ryan died. He must have been absolutely traumatized after that.

"Do you want to just stay in here and cuddle?" I ask.

"Yes." Ryan says and then squeezes me more.

I continue to okay with Ryan's hair. Braiding it, twirling it. His hair is so nice and soft. I'll have to ask him what shampoo and conditioner he uses.

Ryan is drawing circles on my chest which soon turns into him tracing out my tattoos on my arm. I don't know why but this has reminded me on one of the funniest things that happened to us.

"Hey, remember that time when your mom walked in on us giving birth?" I ask Ryan with a chuckle.

"Yes! She told everyone she walked in on us doing something weird but never told anyone what it was. They all probably thought we were having sex or something." Ryan laughs.

"It is pretty weird to walk in on your teenage son taking the role as a midwife for his boyfriend who isn't even pregnant."

"Why were we even doing that?" Ryan asks.

"I don't remember. I think we were just bored and thought hey let's have Ricky make weird noises while Ryan sits near his ass pretending to see a baby crowning." I answer sarcastically.

"That was so embarrassing when my mom walked in. I can't even imagine what is was like for my mom."

"We were weird as kids."

"We still are."

Soon we are both laughing and remembering all the weird things we did as teenagers. We did that for about 2 hours before we both realized how tired we are. I curl into Ryan side and nuzzle my head into his neck. Ryan wraps his arms around me and gently rubs my arms to help me fall asleep. Eventually sleep takes me away and does the same to Ryan.

A/N
I've been planning to do this while thing were Ricky dies but it was all a dream that Ryan's coma induced for awhile. I hope it came out okay but yeah Ricky is all good, he never died thankfully. It was only just a dream. Even though I knew Ricky wasn't actually dead it still pained me so much to write the last chapter.
