Is This Really What You Want? (Multiple Ship FanFic)

Behind the Sea (Patrick's POV)

"Do you want to go face the world again?" I asked.

"You can go. I'll be in there in a little bit, ok?" he said.

"Alright," I said as he got off of my lap and helped me up. "Thanks."

"I love you, Tricky," he said as he kissed me.

"I love you too," I said.

I smiled and made my way back towards the hospital. I walked back inside and made my way to Brendon's room. I got there and opened the door. Spencer wasn't in there, but Brendon was awake. I sat in the chair next to his bed and looked at him.

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"Better," he said. "I wish I could leave though."

"I bet," I said as I chuckled. "Hospitals are not fun."

"Agreed," Brendon said as he smiled.

"Any idea where Spencer is?" I asked.

"As far as I know, he went to see if he could find anything out about Dal," he said.

"Oh, are you going to be ok here if I go and find him?" I asked.

"Yeah, go ahead," he said as he smiled again.

"Awesome," I said as I got up.

I smiled at Brendon and then opened the door and walked out. I searched up and down the hallways for a good five minutes and couldn't find Spencer anywhere. I finally stopped Brendon's doctor and asked him if he knew where Spencer was.

"Last I saw him, he was in the lunchroom," the doctor said.

"Where is that?" I asked.

"Down this hall and hang a left, then a right," he said.

"Thanks," I said.

"You're welcome," he said as he smiled and walked away.

I continued walking down the hallway and then turned left, then right, like the doctor had told me. I smelled food, so I knew I had to be close, and sure enough, I was. It was just down the hall, so I walked in and then looked around for Spencer. I asked one of the ladies working if they had seen Spencer. I gave her a description and then she pointed to a table way in the back. I saw Spencer sitting there all alone. I started to get concerned... I made my way to the table and sat down.

"Spencer?" I asked.

"W-What?" he asked, lifting his head.

His eyes were all puffy and there were tear stains all over his face. Ok, I was starting to freak out on the inside now...

"Spence, what's wrong?" I asked.

"D-Dallon went into a-," he cut himself off by crying again.

"What?" I asked, trying to put together the pieces of the sentence he'd just said.

"Dallon went into a coma, Patrick," Spencer finally got out.

I think my heart stopped beating. I held my breath and couldn't believe it. There's no way Dallon could have gone into a coma... No! It's not true! Pete and I had gotten so close to him in the past couple years. He was like our brother... God, what's going to happen to Pete? To Breezy and Amelie? What about Brendon? He'll be crushed! This is not happening!

"No. No! This isn't true! Dallon is fine!" I shouted as I stood up.

"Patrick," Spencer said quietly as he took my hand and pulled me back down. "The doctor just told me. It's true."

"No!" I shouted again and ran out of the room.

I ran to go find the doctor again, but I saw Spencer run after me. I ran faster, but Spencer caught up to me.

"Patrick!" he said as he tackled me to the cold, hard tile flooring. "It's true, ok?! Why would I lie about that?"

"I-I don't know!" I screamed as I began to cry. "I-I just- No. I don't want to believe it."

"Neither do I, but it happened, Patrick," he said as he got off of me and sat against the wall.

"What's going to happen to everyone when they find out? Brendon will be crushed, Breezy and Amelie will too, and what about Pete? Pete has gotten so close to him, obviously not as close to him as Brendon, but he's going to be crushed. How am I going to tell him?" I asked.

"Tell me what?" Pete asked as he appeared around the corner.
