Forever After ~ A Rydellington Story

Happily, Ever After

Chapter Three

Rocky's POV

Nothing changed in the first month. Rydel stayed in the hospital bed, having the nap of a lifetime.

Ellington was released three days after his surgery. He would live a perfectly normal life.

Even after he was released, he didn't leave the hospital for another whole day. He sat beside Rydel's bed, holding her hand and telling her it would be okay. They had to drag him out of her room in order to take him home.

When their parents returned home from their trip, they were welcomed by the worst news imaginable.

They had almost lost their daughter once, and now she was fighting for her life in the hospital.

Their mom cried for days. She blamed herself, saying that if they had never left for the trip none of it would have happened. They all had to explain to her that she wasn't at fault.

Their dad was a different story. He wanted to find Calum. He wanted to hurt him as much as he had hurt their family. He wanted him to pay for what he did to Rydel. He wanted him dead.

Rocky visited his sister at the hospital every day after her surgery. Instead of going with his family, he went alone. It gave him time to have a one-on-one conversation with his big sister.

"So I have a lot to tell you about today Delly" he smiled, sitting in the chair beside her.

He brought another pink rose with him, like he did everyday. 26 roses in total. 26 days since Rydel fell into the coma.

"I found a girl" he smiled, taking her hand in his own.

"She reminds me of you a little bit. She's smart, funny, outgoing. And she can dance. I guess you two are a lot alike" he laughed.

"Her name is Geena" he said. He brushed her bangs out of her face.

"She wants to meet you Delly" It felt right saying that. Rydel was one of his best friends, and his girlfriend should be able to meet his hero, regardless the circumstance.

He moved away from her for a moment, and went to the desk that people had filled with flowers and "Get Well Soon" cards. He picked one up.

"My beautiful princess, come back to me soon, okay? I can't run this castle without you. Ell"

He put it down with tears in his eyes. His best friend and his sister. He never thought he would ever be so happy. Two of the people he loved the most, in love with each other.

He knew they had to get them together. They had waited too long to waste another minute. Rydel was going to wake up, and Ratliff would get to be the Prince Charming. They would all live happily ever after. He would make sure of it.

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been updating as often as I should be; I had a huge scare last week. I was in the hospital and almost lost my life. It was the scariest experience I've ever been through. Doctors say I am lucky to be alive. I'm still in the recovery stage, but I will live. I will be okay. I just won't be posting every day! It will probably be every other day!!

Sorry guys!
