CHAPTER 15

I've been so worried. The doctors didn't let me see Derek. I eavesdroped though. Apparently he is in a really bad state. The knife hit him right in the heart. I hope he survives. After giving me some Advil to relive the pain, I was forced to go wait in the hospitals waiting room. I've been here for a whole day. No news has come about Derek. His parents came a few hours ago. His mom, Christine, was crying. And his dad, well he looked pretty bad. His eyes were red and he had bags under his eyes but he showed no emotion. His face was blank. I was staring at the magizenes in the small coffee table when the unexpected happened:
My parents showed up. My mother looked around and landed her eyes on me. Her eyes filled up with tears as she ran towards me.
"Honey, your ok." She said as she gave me a hug. Why would she care? I haven't seen her in three months. So why would she come now?
"Why are you here?" I asked my mother as she stood up from her knees.
"We came here to see you" my mom said in tears. Bullcrap, they don't care about me. If they cared they would be with me more often and i never would have gotten in this trouble. I would never have gotten Derek in this trouble..
"Why now?" I asked.
"We got a call from the hospital. They said you got kidnapped." My dad added.
"Well it's about damb time y'all care about me." I rose from my chair. I could feel my face getting red. All this anger built up inside of me, now it's the time to let it all out.
"We're so sorry. We thought you were alright." My mother said sadly.
"Well you thought wrong. All you've done to my life is scene it up." I spat. My mothers eyes filled up with water. That's just payback for all those nights she wasn't there for me. She missed so much of my life, I don't even know who she is anymore.
"Its all my fault. I was so caught up with my work, I didntneven notice there was a sweet young woman waiting for.me at home." She said in tears. That's when all my anger perished. Why was I deign so selfish? She was a doctor. She's saving lives every day, and I'm all mad because I don't see her. I'm blaming it all on her when I should've tooken care of myself. I should've never been to wild party's behind my parents back. I say all these things now, even though I know it's too late. Im always late.
"No I'm sorry mom. I should've never whent on a date with Jacob. I should've been smart about my choices. I'm so sorry, I'm not your brave little girl anymore." I said with tears falling from my cheeks. She looked straight into my eyes and hugged me. Ahh, this feels nice. I haven't had one of my mom's hugs since the fifth grade. I immediately hugged her back and cryed even more on her shoulder. She patted my haed and whispered to my ear:
" You are my brave little girl. And if that mother fucker wants to beat you up, then they are going to have to pass through me." My mom said confidently. I sighted, finally I have a mother that cares about me. That I can trust and tell secrets too.
"That means alot mom." I said in between sniffs.
" I'm going to be a stay-in-home mom for you. You need me in your life, and I'm not going to loose you." She said as she made her way to my dad.
"As for Jacob. That basterd is going to jail for a very long time thanks to your dad."she said with a smile. My dad smiled at me and sticked his chest out. Like he was really proud of his accomplishment.
"Of course, nobody messes with my little girl." He said with a smirk.
I walked over to where my dad was and gave him a huge bear hug. I'm probably ruining his tux. But it doesn't matter, his cologne is clogging up my nostrils. It also doesn't matter, I have my parents back. We're going to be a big happy family again. Except I won't have Jacob by my side, I hope he's alright. I want to tell him my family's together now. That everything's going to be all right.
My dad pulled away from the hug and faced me.
"Dont worry sugarplum, I'll make sure that Jacob guy goes to jail for a very long time" my dad said with a smirk.
I used to hate that my dad was a famous lawyer.he was never home. I made gifts for him on father's day, but he was never there. I will get soo mad, I would threaten my babysitter. I just missed my parents, that's all.
I smiled and gave him a quick hug.
"Thank you, dad." I said with a smile. We just stood there, looking uncomfortable for a moment. Untill the nurse came:
"Guardians of Derek gomez?" The nurse said as she looked up from her clipboard. I saw Derek's dad get up from the chair he was seating and head towards the nurse.
"Hows my son?" He asked with sadness in his tone. Hes been here with me all these days. His moustache was growing and his clothes were smelly. That didn't stop him.
The nurse looked at him with apolegentic smile.
"I have good news and bad news." She said to his dad. "Derek's alive and stable." She said. Ahh, I let out a sigh of relief. Hes a life, were going to be a nice and happy couple. Derek's dad's eyes lightened up. He had a smile on his face now. I hadn't seen his smile in days.
"Great. When can I see him?" Dereks dad said enthusiastically. The nurse frowned.
"That's when the bad news come.. he's been in a coma for the past three days. We're not sure when he's going. to wake up. It could be days,months,years." She had a sympathetic tone on her voice. Derek's dad only had Derek in his life. Derek's mom had died in a car accident when he was twelve. He was in shock, his face was emotionless. Like he didn't know how to react to this, all of this. I need to see Derek. I need him to wake up. To tell me this is all a joke. To tell me he loves me...

"You can go see him if you like." Dereks dad said as he sat back in his chair. Should I go see him? I miss his face. That probably sounds so needy. But its true, I miss his perfect smile and big hazel eyes.
"Yes, I will like that." I responded with a weak smile. The nurse pointed to were his room was located. I thanked her and hurried to were she pointed.
I sped walked all the way there. Just as I was going to enter I stoped my tracks. Do I really want to see him unconscious? Defenseless? Dead? I have to see him though. I have to see him get better. My palms touched the doorknob. Why is it so cold? I pushed away that thought and twisted the doorknob. I pushed the door open, revealing a unconscious Derek laying in the bed. I walked closer to him. He looks so cold. So pale. So....dead.
I grabed a chair from the corner of the room and settled it besides the bed. In here for you Derek. Even though you can't see me. I'm here for you.
I placed my hand on his and layed it there. He didn't even move. His hand was half open. He really can't feel me. You have to wake up Derek. You just have too. All the things we've been through together can't go to waste. I have to love you. I rested my head in his arm. He has to wake up,eventually. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I remembered all the little details he did for me. All the little signs he gave me to show me he loved me. I was so stupid. Why didn't I figure out he liked me sooner? But no, I have to be little miss clueless. I was daydreaming when I heard those three words. Those words that hurt like hell.
"Who are you?" Derek said.
